He didn't have a cell phone or CB radio in his car, so he decided to use his marine radio to get help. Climbing into his boat, he broadcast his call letters and asked for assistance. A Coast Guard officer responded, "Please give your location." "I'm on Interstate-75, two miles south of Standish." The officer paused, "Could you repeat that?" "I-75, two miles south of Standish." A longer pause. Then an incredulous voice asked, "How fast were you going when you hit shore?" ____________________________________________________ A man went to church one day and afterward he stopped to shake the preacher's hand. He said, "Preacher, I'll tell you, that was a damned fine sermon. Damned good!" The preacher said, "Thank you sir, but I'd rather you didn't use that kind of language in the Lord's House. The man said, "I was so damned impressed with that sermon I put five thousand dollars in the offering plate!" The preacher said, "No shit?" _____________________________________________________   ______________________________________________________   _____________________________________________________

 _____________________________________________________ Judi was almost crazy with her three kids. She complained to her best friend, "They're driving me nuts. Such pests, they give me no rest and I'm half-way to the nut hatch." "What you need is a playpen to separate the kids from yourself," her friend said. So Judi bought a playpen. A few days later, her friend called to ask how things were going. "Superb! I can't believe it," Judi said. "I get in that pen with my laptop and a thermos of coffee, and the kids don't bother me one bit!" _____________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  Moonhoon Choi, 36, Jacksonville, Florida  Man pulled over took 30 seconds to wake up  St. Johns County officials arrested Moonhoon Choi, 36, of Wisconsin, on Jan. 8 for drunk driving on U.S. 1 just South off Race Track Rd. with a breath alcohol test of 0.198. Responding to numerous complaints, officials found Choi asleep in the driver's seat of his car, parked in the right lane of U.S. 1 while traffic was free-flowing. After about 30 seconds of banging on the window to wake him up, Choi tried to drive forward, nearly hitting a PSA vehicle. Officers managed to stop the car, and Choi stepped out of the vehicle. An officer asked Choi where he was coming from, and Choi responded "Jacksonville." He then asked where he was headed and Choi responded "Jacksonville". Choi reportedly had the odor of alcohol emanating from his person, and claimed he "had a couple of beers" and that he and his friend were coming from the "brewery". Officers then asked Choi to do a few Field Sobriety tests, which he agreed to, and was unable to properly follow instructions. On at least three separate attempts he moved his head left and right instead of his eyes, he was unable to stay heel-to-toe on the line during the walk and turn test, and he was unable to do a one-leg stand without bending his knee or stepping down. Choi was arrested for operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol. Choi's passenger, Changhyun Ahn, was also under the influence and, due to his inebriation, was unable to be left on the roadside without risking injury to himself or others. Unable to contact anyone they knew, police took Ahn to the county jail and placed him into protective custody.  _________________________________  Tech Support Pits From: Marcy Re: Deleting individual cookies Dear Webby, Thank you for the information.

Automatically move ALL your settings and programs. No need to re-install them. The only mover recommended by Intel and Microsoft.  A young woman wasn't feeling well, and asked one her co-workers to recommend a physician. "I know a great one in the city, but he is very expensive. Five hundred dollars for the first visit, and one hundred dollars for each one after that." The woman went to the doctor's office and, trying to save a little money, cheerily announced. "I'm back!" Not fooled for a second, the doctor quickly examined her, squeezed a bit here and there, and said, "Very good, just continue the treatment I prescribed on your last visit."

 I don't think I'll ever have a mother's intuition. My sister left me alone in a restaurant with my 10-month old nephew. I said, "What do I do if he cries?" She said "Give him some vegetables." It turns out that jalapeno is not his favorite. ____________________________________________________  Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com Melanie's Greatest Ever Granola Mix: 1 cup of whole wheat flour, 4 cups of quick oatmeal, 1 cup of slivered almonds, 1 cup of coconut and 1/2 cup of brown sugar.

What should I do?" "Do you have any proof?" asked the lawyer. "Nope," Morris replied. "Okay, then write him a nasty letter asking him for the $1000 he owes you," said the lawyer Birnbaum. "But it's only $500," Morris insisted. "Precisely. That's what he will reply and we will then have the proof we need to nail him."
