By limiting himself to only one shot of Scotch per hole, the Scot figured a round of golf was finished when the Scotch ran out. _____________________________________________________ On her way back from the concession stand, Sandra asked the man at the end of the row, "Sir, did I step on your foot a minute ago?"

"I started talking about my next husband." __________________________________________________ Reported by Helen An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  Couple Sherbrook, Quebec, Canada  Woman caught walking husband on leash to get around COVID curfew in Canada  A Canadian woman was caught walking her partner on a leash as if he were a dog, a hilarious but illegal attempt to get around Quebecs newly imposed curfew to slow the spread of coronavirus, local media reported Monday. The woman was spotted walking alongside her fake-dog husband in the city of Sherbrook around 9 p.m. Saturday, an hour after the curfew went in effect, according to CTV News. They were each given a $1,500 fine for violating the rules. The new measures prohibit Quebec residents from leaving their homes between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m., but they provide numerous exceptions, including one for dog owners. The order states that a person who must go out so that his dog can do its business is allowed to do so within 1 kilometer from their home. Essential workers, students with in-person night classes and anyone heading to a pharmacy or hospital are also excluded. Police said the Sherbrook couple did not cooperate with officers at all and insisted they were following the rules despite not having a real dog with them. The woman vowed not to pay for the ticket and said she would accumulate them, the Sherbrook Police Department told local newspaper La Tribune. The fines start at $1,000 and can get as high as $6,000 for repeat offenders. Besides the couple, whose names have not been released, more than 700 other people were reportedly fined during the first weekend under curfew in Quebec.  
 DearWebby's Tech Support Pits  From:Holly Re: Sort Favorites in MSIE  Dear Webby Is there some secret, undocumented way to alphabetically sort the Favorites in MSIE ? Thanks Holly  Dear Holly yes, there is. ALT A to open the Favorites Use the down arrow on the keyboard to select any favorite. Just select it, don't go there. Now use the mouse and RIGHT click that selected item and carefully take your hand away from the mouse, without ANY mouse movement. type B That shuffles all the favorites into alphaBetical order. Seems like a silly rigamarole, but it is really the easiest and fastest way to sort the favorites. Please note that due to a bug in MSIE that goes back to version 1, ALT ENTER does NOT let you fake a right-click in the favorites. You HAVE to manually right click your selection with the mouse. Have FUN! DearWebby 
 An employee approached his boss and asked for a raise. "Well" began the head man, "business is bad now, Frank, and I just can't afford to give you a raise." "But I'm doing the three men's work and I always have!" retorted Frank. "Three men's work?" exploded the boss. "Tell me who the other two are, and I'll fire them!"

 >From Diana During lunch, an ad for a lending institution came on the television set in our employees' lounge. As the commercial extolled the pleasures of extra money, I remarked that there was no such thing as "extra" money. "Yes, there is," my supervisor retorted. "It's what you have right before your car breaks down." ____________________________________________ >From Eddie Many patients call the pathology group where I am office manager to discuss their medical bills. One irate woman demanded that I describe every laboratory test on her statement. Reluctantly, I complied. Starting with the first test on her bill, I read, "No. 1, urinalysis." She interrupted me at once. "I'm a what?" ____________________________________________ A golfer who was known for his bad temper walked into the pro shop one day and plunked down big bucks for a new set of woods. The staff all watched to see what would happen after he used them for the first time - more than half expecting he'd come in and demand his money back. But the next time he came in, he was all smiles. "They're the best clubs I've ever had," he said. "In fact, I've discovered I can throw them at least 40 yards farther than I could my last ones." ____________________________________________
