Halfway through, they realized they had lost their map. The patrol navigator informed them, "Our odds are 1 in 360 that we'll eventually get out of here." "How did you come up with that?" someone asked. "Well," he replied, "it's unfortunate that the compass broke when Bob stepped on it, because quite often one of the degrees on the compass is right." ----------- Just remember, moss grows on the north side of lost compasses. ____________________________________________________ Dhananjaya Abeyrathne ___________________________________________________ Interviewing a woman applicant, a kindly Social Security claims representative wanted to make sure that no tangles would prevent her from getting her full benefits.

Prosecutors said Aditya Singh, 36, was too afraid to fly back to Los Angeles due to COVID-19. Man caught living in Chicago's O'Hare airport for months; prosecutors say he was afraid to fly home due to COVID-19 A man was allegedly living inside Chicago's O'Hare International Airport for three months before he was caught on Saturday. Prosecutors said Aditya Singh, 36, was too afraid to fly back to Los Angeles due to COVID-19. Cook County prosecutors said Singh was found with an airport worker's misplaced credentials and survived inside a secure area of the airport. Singh arrived at O'Hare's Terminal 2 on a flight from Los Angeles back on October 19, according to prosecutors. He was allegedly living inside the airport's security zone since then. On Saturday, two United Airlines employees confronted Singh and asked to see his work ID which had been reported as stolen by an airport operations manager. Singh was taken into custody and told authorities he found the credentials and was afraid to fly home in the pandemic. He has been charged with felony criminal trespass to a restricted area of an airport and theft. The judge expressed shock that Singh wasn't detected earlier. DearWebby's Tech Support Pits From:Mia Re: Laptop travel kit Dear Webby one time you mentioned a source for all the stuff one needs for a laptop when you travel. Do you still have that info? Thanks, Mia Dear Mia The "Road Warrior Kit" is no longer available. Today's road warrior kits are for cars and motorcycles. However, don't worry! Today's laptops work just fine without a bag of toys. All you will need is the baggie of colorful Velcro strips from the Dollar Store. They will help you tidy up any cables. You could also invest in some light-weight Chihuahua chain, and epoxy one end of it to your laptop charger, and the other end to your carry-on. That will stop thieves, like the ones at a certain hotel in Green River, Utah, from stealing your charger. Almost everything else is WiFi nowadays anyway. Whatever "accessories" you carry, don't put them into zippered black vinyl cases, that will make security suspicious. Put them into clear zip-lock baggies. Have Fun! DearWebby A man goes to a doctor for a routine physical. The nurse starts with the basics. "How much do you weigh?" she asks. "Oh, 'bout One- sixty-five." he says. The nurse puts him on the scale. It turns out that his weight is 187. The nurse asks, "Your height?" "Oh, 'bout six feet," he says. The nurse checks and sees that he's only 5 feet 8 3/4 inches. She then takes his blood pressure, and it's very high. "High!" The man explains, "Of course it's high. When I came in here, I was tall and lanky. Now, durnit, after one look at you, now I'm short and fat!" | If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! | If you like my work,

The street was too narrow for the two to pass.
