 DearWebby's Tech Support Pits  From: Karl Re: Cleaning laptop screens  Hi Dear Webby, What about cleaning laptop screens? I don't believe that they should be cleaned dry. Karl  Dear Karl They have a very thin glass surface. Soap and water or Windex type cleaners work fine. Try not to use too much, that might seep inside at the bottom, but if it does, it's no problem. There are no bare wires down there. Have FUN! DearWebby

 When a man died, his wife put the usual death notice in the paper, but added that he died of gonorrhea. No sooner were the papers delivered than a good friend of the family phoned and complained bitterly, "You know very well that he died of diarrhea, not gonorrhea." Replied the widow, "I nursed him night and day so of course I knew he died of diarrhea. But I thought it would be better for posterity to remember him as a great lover rather than the big shit he always was." ___________________________________________________  Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com Thriftyfun.com Roasted Chickpeas Roasted Chickpeas  Thriftyfun.com also has a newsletter.

He came running up to me "Noel, Noel, guess what!?" He said, eyes wide with excitement. "I know what assault rifles are!" Some tortures are physical and some are mental, but the one that's both is dental... I looked at him and said, "Really, what are they?" He looked up at me as if I were stupid, put his hands on his hips and said, "Duhhh, they shoot salt!.." ___________________________________________________ Some tortures are physical and some are mental, but the one that's both is dental. __________________________________________________
