 _____________________________________________________ I love acting. It is so much more real than life. --- Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900) _____________________________________________________ In a physics lab course, which involved light, electricity and magnetism, one requirement of the course was to read the week's experiment before coming to class. At one lab session the instructor wanted to see how many people had actually done so: "What are the two types of light?" he asked. The lab fell silent until one wise young man raised his hand and said, "Uhhh, Miller and Bud?" _____________________________________________________   ___________________________________________________ "Husband Shopping Centre" was opened where a woman could go to choose from among many men, for her husband. It was laid out in five floors, with the men increasing in positive attributes as you ascended up the floors. The only rule was, once you opened the door to any floor, you must choose a man from that floor,and if you went up a floor, you couldn't go back down except to leave the place. So, a couple of girlfriends go to the place to find men. First floor, the door had a sign saying "These men have jobs and love kids." The women read the sign and say "Well that's better than not having jobs, or not loving kids, but I wonder what's further up?" So up they go. Second floor says "These men have high paying jobs, love kids, and are extremely good looking" Hmmm, say the girls. But, I wonder what's further up?" Third floor: "These men have high paying jobs, are extremely good looking, love kids and help with the housework.." Wow! say the women. Very tempting, BUT, there's more further up!? And so again, they go up. Fourth floor: "These men have high paying jobs, love kids, are extremely good looking, help with the housework, and have a strong romantic streak. "Oh, mercy me. But just think!?!?! What must be awaiting us further on! So up to the fifth floor they go. The sign on that door said "This floor is just to prove that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping and have a nice day." ___________________________________________________   An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  Vianney Huerta, 19, Aurora, Illinois, USA 
 19-year-old Montgomery woman started a fire Sunday inside a police vehicle 
 A 19-year-old Montgomery woman is facing felony charges after prosecutors alleged she set fire to an Elgin police SUV on Sunday night during a protest in Aurora. Vianney Huerta was charged with arson and criminal damage, both felonies, according to Kane County State's Attorney Joe McMahon. Prosecutors allege Huerta started a fire inside an Elgin Police Department vehicle parked in a lot on East New York Street. The Elgin Police Department was one of many agencies called in by local and county officials as peaceful protests Sunday night in Aurora gave way to looting and clashes between police and protesters. Huerta's bail was set at $100,000. She is one of 21 people facing charges in connection with Sunday's protest in Aurora, according to the state's attorney's office. Eleven people have been charged with felonies, McMahon said. Most of the people arrested were from outside the community and some were from street gangs just in for the looting and burning.  DeaWebby's Tech Support Pits  From: Gloria Re: Online Maps   Dear Webby, At one time Google had really good maps, but now it seems they got too greedy. There is all kinds of silly crap and demands for signing up and payments. I most definitely would not recommend them anymore. And Microzofts mapping software is hopelessly out of date, if you can get it started in the first place. They spent Bilions sending planes all over the place to map the entire USA, and then let it all crash. What do you use for maps and directions? Gloria  Dear Gloria Yes, I noticed that too, and went back to Mapquest. Google Maps were great in the 90s and early 2000s, but now I too would not recommend them. Good old Mapquest from AOL still works. It is rather crude, and graphics are awful, but you can use it to plan a route to a new shopping center or doctor. Have FUN! DearWebby

So he decides to buy her a cell phone. She is all excited, she loves her phone. He shows her and explains to her all the features on the phone. The next day she goes shopping. Her phone rings and it's her husband, "Hi hun," he says, "how do you like your new phone?" She replies, "I just love it! It's so small and your voice is clear as a bell but there's one thing I don't understand though." "What's that, baby?" asks the husband. "How did you know I was at Walmart?"
