The wily old General sends for his trusty Indian Scout. "Yumti-Bi," he said, "you must use all your thirty years of skill in trying to estimate the sort of army we are up against here." Yumti-Bi laid down and put his ear to the ground... "Heap large -- war party," he says, "maybe three hundred braves, four chiefs, two on black stallions, two on white stallions. All have war paint...many many guns. Medicine man also with them." "Good grief!" exclaims the General, "you can tell all of that just by listening to the ground???" "No, General," replied the Indian, "I can see under the gate." _____________________________________________________   John Krampl at Waterton Lakes National Park. ___________________________________________________ Sam Dunne was trying to locate his son, John, whom he hadn't heard from in 7 years. He hired a private detective, Roger, who decided he'd start looking for John in New York City. After pounding the pavement for several days, Roger saw "Dunne & Bradstreet" on a sign outside a skyscraper. "Ahh... DUNNE!!" thought Roger, and walked into the foyer. "Excuse me...you don't work here," said a security guard seated at a desk. "Oh, I'm looking for John," said Roger. "Ah, that's down the hall, third door on the left," said the guard. Roger burst into the men's room just as some poor guy was leaving the toilet stall. "Are you Dunne??" asked Roger. The poor guy gestured towards the toilet and said, "Yes, yes I am." "Well then," said Roger, "You'd better give your father a call!" ___________________________________________________ Reported by Rock An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  Cisco Vasquez, 25, Saul Ingraham, 21 Tulare, California, USA  2 arrested for shooting, killing man in Tulare on Christmas Eve  Police officers have arrested two people they believe shot and killed a 33-year-old man in Tulare on Christmas Eve.

 DearWebby's Tech Support Pits  From: Linda Re: Too slow connection  Dear Webby, My neighbor's daughter claims her Internet connection is too slow for downloading Skype or Zoom for her mother. Is that possible? She is always on FaceBook, and her connection does not stop her from that. Is she lying? Linda  Dear Linda, yes, she is. She probably wants to flirt at all her lovers, and not share the machine with her mother. Tell the mother to just use Facebook and hog the machine. She can also use the Speed test at https://www.speedtest.net/ If she gets 4.3 Mbps or more for download speed, then her connection is good enough. Most likely she will get a LOT more than that! Have FUN! DearWebby

 A man absolutely hated his wife's cat and decided to get rid of him one day by driving him 20 blocks from his home and leaving him at the park. As he was getting home, the cat was walking up the driveway. The next day he decided to drive the cat 40 blocks away. He put the beast out and headed home. Driving back up his driveway, there was the cat! The man kept taking the cat further and further and the cat would always beat him home. At last he decided to drive a few miles away, turn right, then left, past the bridge, then right again and another right until he reached what he thought was a safe distance from his home and left the cat there. Hours later the man calls home to his wife: "Jen, is the cat there?" "Yes," the wife answers, "why do you ask?" Frustrated, the man answered, "Put that S.O.B. on the phone, I'm lost and need directions." ____________________________________________ She says: "Men are like fine wine. They all start out like grapes, and it's our job to stomp on them and keep them in the dark until they mature into something with which we'd like to have dinner." He says: "Women are like fine wine. They all start out fresh, fruity and intoxicating, and then turn full-bodied with age until they go all sour and vinegary and give you a headache." ____________________________________________ After a long and serious operation, Lena ended up in a coma. Try as they might, the doctors just couldn't bring her out of it. When her husband Ralph came into the intensive care unit to see her, the doctors gave him the bad news. "We just can't wake her. It doesn't look good I'm afraid," the doctor told Ralph in a quiet somber voice. Ralph looked at Lena and with a soft trembling voice said, "But doctor, she's so young. She's only 45." "37," came the weak reply from Lena. ____________________________________________
