One deacon ducked down and said, "I hope the reverend didn't see us or recognize my pickup." The other replied indifferently, "What difference does it make. God knows we're in here... and he's the only one who counts." The first deacon countered, "But God won't tell my wife." ____________________________________________________   John Fisher ____________________________________________________ A man was robbing a house in the middle of the night. All of a sudden, he heard a parrot cry out. "Jesus is gonna get you." The robber ignored it, and unplugs the TV. Again, the parrot cries out. "Jesus is gonna get you." The robber started to get a little worried. "What's your name, birdie?" "Moses." "What dummy named you Moses?" "The same dummy who called his rottweiler Jesus." ____________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  Ryan Pereira, 48, Chandler, Arizona, USA  Driver arrested for deadly hit-and-run of bicyclist  The Chandler Police Department has taken a driver into custody in connection to the deadly hit-and-run of a bicyclist early Wednesday morning.

 DearWebby's Tech Support Pits FROM: All RE: Got Fiber After all the hype and bullshit and lies about "rotting copper", They have now connected me to fiber, with good and reliable copper, that will outlast the fiber by a thousand years. Or more. They managed to give me the same speed as I had on straight copper DSL. The DNS in Calgary, the Internet Road Map, that they screwed up on May 31 at 10 am, to badger and bludgen me to agree to fiber, is still screwed up. However, I am able to get to most sites. Have FUN! Dear Webby  Dear Do! I am on fiber now. Things should settle down now, I hope. Have FUN! DearWebby 
 A woman accompanied her husband to the doctor's office. After his check up, the doctor called his wife into his office alone. He said, "Your husband is suffering from a very serious disease, combined with horrible stress. If you don't do the following, your husband will die. Each morning, fix him a healthy breakfast. Be reasonably pleasant and try to get him into a good mood. For lunch, fix him something hot. For dinner, prepare something hot and fairly nutritious. For a while, don't burden him too much with unnecessary chores. Try not to discuss your stress about the house work and the soap operas too much when he is worrying about the family business, that would just make him feel worse. And most importantly, you must be intimate with your husband at least one day of every week. If you can do this for at least 10 months to a year, I think your husband will regain his health completely." On the way home, the husband asked his wife, "What did the doctor say to you?" "You're gonna die."

"Please," protested the college President, "you already make more than the entire History department." "Yeah, maybe so, but you don't know what I have to put up with, the coach blustered. "Look, I'll Give you an example." The coach went out into the hall and grabbed a jock who was jogging down the hallway. "Run over to my office and see if I'm there," he ordered. Three minutes later the jock returned, sweaty and out of breath. "You're not there, sir," he reported. "Oh, I see what you mean," conceded the University President, scratching his head. "I would have phoned first." ___________________________________________________
