Consider that the Chinese, for example, have only observed their 4,692nd year as a people. "Now, what does it mean to you?" After a moment of silence, a student raised his hand. "Yes, David," the teacher said, "what does it mean?" David replied,"It means that the Jews had to suffer without Chinese food for 1,067 years." ______________________________________________________ A little rabbit is happily running through the forest when hestumbles upon a giraffe rolling a joint. The rabbit looks at her and says, "Giraffe, my friend, Think about what you're doing to yourself! Come with me running through the forest, you'll see, you'll feel so much better!" The giraffe looks at him, looks at the joint, tosses it and goes off running with the rabbit. Then they come across an elephant doing coke. So the rabbit again says, "Elephant my friend, why do you do this? Think about what you're doing to yourself! Come running with us through the pretty forest, you'll see, you'll feel so good!" The elephant looks at them, looks at his razor, mirror and all, then tosses them and starts running with the rabbit and giraffe. The three animals then come across a lion about to shoot up. "Lion my friend, why do you do this? Think about what you're doing to yourself! Come running with us through the sunny forest, you will feel so good!" The lion looks at him, puts down his needle, and starts to beat the crap out of the little rabbit. The giraffe and elephant watch in horror, then finally obtain the presence of mind to pull the lion off the rabbit. "Lion," they reprimand, "why did you do this? He was merely trying to help us all!" The lion answers, "That little fucker has me running around the gym like an idiot for hours every time he's on ecstasy!" ___________________________________________________ Marriage changes passion.

Worried that he might have a concussion, she checked him all night. Every hour, she'd gently shake him and ask, "What's your name?" Soon, he began moaning in protest each time she entered the room. When Sally went in at 5:00 A.M., she found something white on his forehead. Leaning close, she saw a crayon- scrawled message taped to his forehead. It read: "My name is Daniel." _____________________________________________________ SIGNS YOUR NEIGHBOR IS A PLAYBOY PLAYMATE You get an angry phone call at 2 AM. describing your barking dog as "a real turn-off." Every bush in her yard is trimmed in the shape of bunny ears. Your wife forbids you to do yard work. Cops break up loud parties at her place just like anywhere else, but they suck their guts in and pop a few Tic-Tacs before knocking. Your son: "C'mon dad, PLEASE let me camp out in the backyard!" You: "Son, go home before your wife and kids start to wonder where you are." The Neighborhood Watch program takes on a whole new meaning, thanks to a bunch of lonely guys with binoculars. Her lawn is kept completely bare on the edges and trimmed neatly down the middle. There's always a traffic jam on your street when she is mowing the lawn, and you live on a cul-de-sac. You've spoken with her hundreds of times but still have no idea what color her eyes are -- or if she even *has* any. Attendance at your neighborhood barbecue sky rockets after she announces she'll "bring the buns." After helping her trim her trees, your husband bring home more wood than you can handle. There are so many 13-year-olds mowing her lawn it sound like the Indy 500. You have a steady stream of teenage boys asking if you'd like your walk shoveled. In August. In Orlando. Her occupation is listed clearly as "Playboy Playmate" on the restraining order she just took out against you. Your local Domino's new guarantee: "Your pizza is there in four minutes or less, or your neighbor can spank us like naughty, naughty little boys!" ___________________________________________________ * Top Ten Things You Don't Want To Hear in a Department Store 10. "You want to use the fitting room or try this on at my place?" 9. "Check it out -- this one's good for hiding body parts" 8. "You know how we can offer such low prices? We're connected to the mafia" 7. "Try our new scent -- it makes you smell just like Regis" 6. "Last night after work I got lucky on this couch" 5. "Can I take a picture of your feet for my web site?" 4. "I live in a dark, greasy space under the escalator" 3. "For today only, you can pay for your purchases with hugs" 2. "Have you seen a chimp in boys' overalls?" 1. "If you're interested, I sell the same junk out of my van, half-price" ___________________________________________________ From: Hank From: Phil Re: W10 crashing Dear Webby No matter how careful I am, W10 keeps crashing. Even when I am just doing simple writing, after a day or two it crashes. Is that just to remind me that Saint Bill is the lord of heaven and hell and my computer, or is there a way to make that more civilized? Phil Dear Phil Your assumption is probably as close as any I could come up with. Unlike versions of Windows from 3.3 to W7, W10 is NOT made to run continuously. For best results shut it down every evening, and start it up again in the morning. Don't keep unsaved pictures in your graphics program, and don't keep too many tabs. Store tabs, that you plan to look at later in "ONE-TAB", or save them in a spreadsheet. W10 does abssolutely NOT like a big list of tabs. I know, XP and W7 can handle that OK, but W10 can't. So close those open tabs! Have FUN!

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. _______________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD reported by Rock, has been earned by Jeremiah Sykes, 20, Mesa, Arizona, USA Naked man baptized himself in Mesa church, punched 2 officers A man from Tempe is accused of criminal trespass and indecent exposure after he allegedly baptized himself while naked at a fountain in a Mesa church over the weekend. According to arrest records, Mesa police say that Jeremiah Sykes, 20, exposed himself while in a baptism fountain at One Life Church east of Gilbert Road on University Drive just after 2:30 p.m. on Saturday. Officers were told that the man was just sitting there, refusing to leave, and that as police were called, Sykes reportedly grabbed a blanket and left. Officers found him nearby, still naked and holding a blanket. Sykes admitted to baptizing himself naked, but that he left once, he was asked to leave. At the scene, officers arrested him on recommended charges of indecent exposure and criminal trespassing in addition to his outstanding warrants. Once taken to the Mesa jail Sykes reportedly threw his sock at one of the detention officers, and as that officer approached him, he reportedly threw a punch, hitting the officer in the head. Another officer was also struck while trying to intervene. Ultimately, authorities were able to restrain Sykes. The officer hit in the first punch was taken to the hospital due to a cut near his eyebrow. After having his Miranda rights read again for the additional charges, Sykes refused to answer any questions. A booking photo for Sykes was not immediately available. Court records state that Sykes has prior arrests for first-degree criminal trespassing, aggravated assault on a correctional officer, and criminal damage. Sykes was deemed non-bailable due to his prior felony warrants. _____________________________________________________ Today, April 22 in 1500, Portuguese navigator Pedro Alvares Cabral discovered Brazil. 1509, Henry VIII ascended to the throne of England upon the death of his father Henry VII. 1529, Spain and Portugal divided the eastern hemisphere in the Treaty of Saragosa. 1745, The Peace of Fussen was signed, restoring the status quo of Germany. 1792, U.S. President George Washington proclaimed American neutrality in the war in Europe. 1861, Robert E.
