They gather around the guide who says, "This is the spot where the barons forced King John to sign the Magna Carta." A man pushing his way to the front of the crowd asks, "When did that happen?" "1215," answers the guide. The man looks at his watch and says, "Shoot! We missed it by a half hour!" __________________________________________________ Reported by Rock: An International Bonehead Award has been earned by  Benjamin Dahm, 32, NEW LONDON, Connecticut, USA  Man arrested for carrying pipe bombs across Gold Star Bridge  Police arrested a 32-year-old man carrying improvised explosive devices, metal pipe bombs. Benjamin D. Dahm was placed into custody immediately after the discovery by Groton Town Police Officers. Initially, police responded to a medical call for an individual in the area of 516 Gold Star Highway near Tollgate Road in Groton, CT at 5 p.m. on Thursday. As they examined the scene, police said they identified suspicious items in Dahms backpack. They found explosive devices in the midst of heavy pedestrian and motor vehicle traffic. To ensure public safety, officers closed the Gold Star Highway near Tollgate Road and sent the unstable package to a more secure location. The Connecticut State Police Bomb Squad arrived on scene to control the situation and disabled all explosive devices. They said there was no active threat toward the public. Dahm was held on a $150,000 bond and set to appear at court on Friday. There were no reports of injuries. _____________________________________________________   ___________________________________________________ >From Yolanda I began thinking about my own mortality after I became a widow. One day my daughter called home from college, and I announced to her, "I think it's time for us to talk about where I would like to be buried." "It's way too soon to even think of anything like that," she snapped indignantly. Then there was a brief silence. "Wait a minute, did you say married or buried?" When I repeated buried, she said, "Oh, okay, sure." ___________________________________________________ If you can spare a coin, PLEASE hit PayPal with it! ___________________________________________________   Daniel Patrick Young Wood Bison, Elk Island National Park. _________________________________________________ If you can spare a coin, PLEASE hit PayPal with it! __________________________________________________ A couple went shopping at the mall. They decided to go their separate ways and meet two hours later. The husband was at their appointed meeting place at the appointed time, but there was no sign of his wife. After waiting for half an hour, he started looking for her but couldn't find her in any of the stores she usually frequented. Finally, thoroughly tired of looking for her, he approached a beautiful lady on a mall bench. He smiled at her and said, "Please, talk to me! Quick!" She said, "Why?" "Because I've been looking for my wife all over this silly mall and I can't find her," the man replied. "How will talking to me help you find your wife? I have absolutely no idea what she looks like, much less where she is." "I didn't think you did. However, every time I start talking to a beautiful woman, my wife appears out of nowhere!" ____________________________________________________ When Steven returned to the house one evening, his wife Sarah announced that the new cleaning woman they had hired had stolen two towels. "Hmmm," said Steven very disinterested, and reclining on the sofa, "that wasn't very nice of her to do." "You're darn right it wasn't," Sarah said. "And they were the two best towels we had... the ones I nipped at that Hotel on our honeymoon." ================================================= DearWebby's Tech Support Pits  From: Freda Re: clean monitors Dear Webby My cat spilled some coffee onto my monitor. What is the best way to clean it? Thanks Freda  Dear Freda For a cleaning liquid use whatever you use on windows or mirrors. If at all possible tilt the monitor so that the screen faces downward. The screen has Millions of tiny little craters etched into it to reduce the glare. It's not a good idea to fill them with dirt particles, so use a fair bit of liquid and let the excess run off, wipe it with a very wet cloth, rinse it again and use a clean wet cloth. Then wring out the cloth and dry the surfaces. Paper is not a good idea, because it is abrasive and can damage the coating that is on many monitors, just like it is on camera lenses. The best type of cloth to use is of course MicroFiber cloth. It's tiny fibers, 100 times thinner than a hair, are fine enough to scoop dirt and smoke condensate out of the invisible little craters on the screen. Have FUN DearWebby _____________________________________________________ Two kids, aged 10 and 12 were sitting under a quilt on the couch watching television. Their mother joined them, and complained that there was not enough quilt for her. The 10 year old replied "That's because the quilt is in portrait not landscape!" And sure enough, when we turned the quilt to "landscape", they all fit under it quite nicely! _____________________________________________________ ophelia dingbatter's news no sermon and not suitable for church, just jokes and fun for grownups.
