Good Morning, Do! Today is Saturday, May 8 ___________________________________________________ If you can spare a coin, PLEASE hit PayPal with it! ___________________________________________________  Some Chicago killers arrested  ___________________________________________________ Today, May 8 in 1970 Construction workers broke up an anti-war protest on New York City's Wall Street. ____________________________________________________ A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. --- Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882) ____________________________________________________ Dear Dear Webby I wish I could tell you how grateful I am to you for keeping my husband and coach alive even though he died in an accident four years ago today. While everybody else calls me nicknames like "half-pint" and "evil-runt" and worse, Roy always called me "My-Lil-Empress" and in his eyes I was a real person, not just a half size. The more everybody else put me down, the more Roy always did things to build up my self confidence and make me feel good about myself. Giving me a subscription to the Humor Letter under the name that he used for me, that was one of those things. Even though he is long dead, every morning when the Humor Letter greets me with "Dear My-Lil- Empress !", it's Roy boosting me up, and even though I am only 4' 6", I walk tall ! Thanks Roy, and Thanks Webby! My-Lil-Empress Dear My-Lil-Empress It's real people like you who are the reason that I don't mind if the sky turns pink in the east before my previous day's shift is over, as long as the Humor Letter goes out. DearWebby ____________________________________________________ A pipe burst in a lawyer's house, so he called a plumber. The plumber arrived, unpacked his tools, did mysterious plumber- type things for a while, and handed the lawyer a bill for $600. The lawyer exclaimed, "This is ridiculous! I don't even make that much as a lawyer!" The plumber smiled and replied: "Considering how much your loopholes leak, you shouldn't. MY work doesn't leak." ____________________________________________________   From Kathy ____________________________________________________ Rosita got lost in her car in a snowstorm. She remembered what her dad had once told her. "If you ever get stuck in a snow storm, wait for a snow plow and follow it." Pretty soon a snow plow came by, and she started to follow it. She followed the plow for about forty-five minutes. Finally the driver of the truck got out and asked her what she was doing. She explained that her dad had told her if she ever got lost in a snowstorm, to follow a plow. The driver nodded and said, "Well, I'm done with the Wal-Mart parking lot now, but you can follow me over to K-Mart" ____________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  Jawaunn Jackson, 22, Chicago, Illinois, USA  Chicago killers arrested  After Eugene Broach tripped on a bush in a front yard on April 5, two brothers chased him before standing over him and shooting him multiple times, prosecutors said.

Jawaunn Jackson Jawaunn Jackson Chicago police arrest photo Broach, 21, was struck 11 times while he was in a fetal position, Deboni said. He was taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he was pronounced dead. Deboni didnt offer a motive or say how the brothers knew Broach, but he did note that high quality surveillance video captured the incident before, during and after the deadly shooting. Two witnesses also identified the brothers as the shooters in the surveillance video and in photos and were able to provide their nicknames to authorities, Deboni said. Dixons GPS showed him near the crime scene, corroborating the video footage, Deboni said. Judge Mary Marubio ordered Jackson held without bail. He is expected back in court on May 26. 
 DearWebby's Tech Support Pits FROM: Kath RE: Remove old card from PayPal  Dear Webby How do I dump a credit card from PayPal? I forgot that I had used my AMEX card as my Faall-Back, but after I had not used that card for years after COSTCO stopped using it, I dumped it. Actually, I just forgot to call in when they sent me a new one, and then lost the new one. So now I have to dump it from PayPal. How do I do that? Kath  Dear Kath You have to ADD a new card first. After that you can select EDIT cards, pick the obsolete card,and once you are in the edit mode, you see the option for deleting it. Have FUN! DearWebby

 During a friendly argument, Jim asked his wife why she married him in the first place. "I was just stupid," she teased. When he said he was happy to hear that, she was surprised and requested an explanation. "Well, people get divorced all the time because they fall out of love," he said. "But I've never heard of anybody falling out of stupid." ___________________________________________ Q. How many psychiatrists does it take to change a lightbulb? A.

The hard part is getting them into the light bulb.... ____________________________________________ Subject: THE VALUE OF UNDIES Be careful what you wear (or don't wear), when working under your vehicle, especially in public. From the Sydney Morning Herald - Australia comes this story: A west central couple who drove their car to the store only to have their car break down in the parking lot.The man told his wife to carry on with the shopping while he fixed the car there in the lot. The wife returned later to see a small group of people near the car. On closer inspection she saw a pair of male legs portruding from under the chassis. Although the man was in shorts, his lack of underpants turned private parts into glaringly public ones. Unable to stand the embarrassment she dutifully stepped forward, quickly put her hand UP his shorts and tucked everything back into place. On regaining her feet she looked across the hood and found herself staring at her husband who was standing idly by. The mechanic, however, had to have three stitches in his head. ___________________________________________________
