Good Morning, Do! Today is Tuesday, December 29 Thank you, Nancy !! ___________________________________________________ If you can spare a coin, PLEASE hit PayPal with it! ___________________________________________________ International Bonehead Award Oklahoma Man Jailed For Giving Daughter, 2, Sips Of Smirnoff Ice ___________________________________________________ Today, December 29 in 1952 The first transistorized hearing aid was offered for sale by Sonotone Corporation. _____________________________________________________ Those who can laugh without cause have either found the true meaning of happiness or have gone stark raving mad. --- Norm Papernick _____________________________________________________ A young ensign had nearly completed his first overseas tour of sea duty when he was given an opportunity to display his ability at getting the ship under way. With a stream of crisp commands, he had the decks buzzing with men and soon, the ship had left port and was streaming out of the channel. The ensign's efficiency has been remarkable. In fact, the deck was abuzz with talk that he had set a new record for getting a destroyer under way. The ensign glowed at his accomplishment and was not all surprised when another seaman approached him with a message from the captain. He was, however, a bit surprised to find that it was a radio message, and he was even more surprised when he read, "My personal congratulations upon completing your underway preparation exercise according to the book and with amazing speed. In your haste, however, you have overlooked one of the unwritten rules -- make sure the Captain is aboard before getting under way." _____________________________________________________ Scottish Fold @atlas_scottish_fold ___________________________________________________ When Emma's parents threatened to forbid her to see her boyfriend unless she told them why he'd been there so late the night before, she began to talk. "Well, I took him into the loving room, and..." "That's living, dear," her mother said. "NOW you tell me!" came the answer. ___________________________________________________ Reported by the Bausell Sailor An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD AND a DARWIN award has been earned by James Watts, 27, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA Oklahoma Man Jailed For Giving Daughter, 2, Sips Of Smirnoff Ice An Oklahoma man is behind bars for child neglect after allegedly giving his two-year-old daughter sips from a bottle of Smirnoff Ice, investigators say. James Watts, 27, was arrested this week after the childs mother contacted Oklahoma City cops to report that the toddler was given alcohol by her biological father. Brionca Peterson provided police with a Snapchat video showing Watts giving the girl two sips of Smirnoff Ice wine cooler, according to a probable cause affidavit. In the video, Watts states in text My baby gone be drunk, the affidavit states. Along with an emoji hand on face, Watts wrote, She liking it a lil too much. Describing the video, an investigator noted that Watts allowed the victim to take a drink then he takes a sip and hands it back to her so she can have another sip of the alcoholic beverage. Pictured above, Watts is being held in the Oklahoma County jail in lieu of $50,000 bond on the felony charge. DearWebby's Tech Support Pits From:David in Dallas Re: Spool 32 Error Dear Webby, By the way, since you are so good about answering tech questions: What does it mean to get a Spool 32 error in Microsoft. Is this a problem with the printer (lack of memory) or the software driver in the computer (HP software) or is it a Windows problem (heaven forbid). Just wondering where to swing the hammer fiirst. Thanks, David in DAllas Dear David That is a Windows "feature". Nowadays printers don't have much or any RAM, just a bit of CMOS to remember their own identity. It used to be that printers had 1, 2, 4, even EIGHT MB of RAM. Compared to the 8 or 16 GB RAM in the computer, that's a fart in the wind, so now the spooling is done on the computer. Normally that works fine. However, if your RAM is all busy and in use, then Windows spools the print job to the temp part of the hard drive. In theory that works fine, however a Windows "feature" gets all tangled up when the temp area does not have a big enough contiguous space for the spool file. Doing a disk cleanup and deleting the temp files will usually fix that. Just grab CrapCleaner from the side menu and run tht once or twice a year, and you won't see that spool error again. Have FUN!

_____________________________________________ The police recently busted a man selling ' secret formula' tablets he claimed gave eternal youth. When going through their files they noticed it was the fifth time he was caught for commiting this same criminal medical fraud. He had earlier been arrested in 1794, 1856, 1928 and 1983... ____________________________________________ A parent decreed one Christmas that she was no longer going to remind her children of their thank-you note duties. As a result their grandmother never received acknowledgments of the generous checks she had given. The next year things were different, however. "The children came over in person to thank me," gramma told a friend triumphantly. "How wonderful!" the friend exclaimed. "What do you think caused the change in behavior?" "Oh, that's easy," the grandmother replied. "This year I didn't sign the checks." ____________________________________________ Sue's son is an avid listener to the city's police frequency, and he leaves the scanner on all the time. One morning while making his bed, she heard the dispatcher say, "Car 34, there is a six-foot boa constrictor in a front yard. The resident wants a policeman to come and remove it." There was a long pause, then some static. Slowly, a voice said, "We can't get the car started." ____________________________________________ | Ophelia Dingbatter's NewsNo sermon and not suitable for church, just jokes and fun for grownups.
