 _____________________________________________________ Fools rush in where fools have been before. --- Socratex _____________________________________________________ Sam and Greg were sitting in a bar having a drink complaining about the heat, the cows and their wives. They weren't exactly the brightest guys, and neither were their comments. Everyday they said pretty much the same thing. And it always ended in a pissing contest over who had the worst wife. Today though something was different. There was a wise looking elderly Indian Chief sitting at the bar. They decided to ask him to decide, who had the worst wife. Sam complained that his wife was always arguing with him. No matter what he said, she always said the opposite. She didn't just say it either, she said it so loud that the neighbors complained. The old Chief listened attentively and then said, "If your wife was Indian, we would name her Fire-Water. Every time she opens her mouth she breathes fire and your knees turn to water." Greg said "My wife is so bad that we haven't hadn't had physical relations in darn near twenty years." The chief again listened attentively and pronounced Greg's wife as "Sleeping-Dragon. If you try to touch her while she is sleeping, she will become a dragon and bite your head off." Sam and Greg had a good laugh over their wives new names. Then Sam asked, "Okay, them Indian names are pretty cool, but.... Who has the worst wife?" The chief replied, "I do. My wife is Whumpo Havo Noja" Both Sam and Greg looked very confused, and so the chief explained, "That's my wife's Indian name, it translates in English to "Three-Old-Horses." More puzzled than ever before Sam asked, "Yeah, but what does it (Three-Old-Horses) mean? The chief sighed, took a sip of his beer and said , "Nag, Nag, Nag." _____________________________________________________   ___________________________________________________ Three animals in a bar was having a huge argument over who was the best. The first animal, a hawk, claimed that because of his ability to fly, he could attack anything repeatedly from above, and his prey had hardly a chance. The second, a lion, based his claim on his strength. No one in the jungle dared to challenge him, King of the Jungle. The third, a skunk, insisted he needed neither flight nor strength to frighten off any creature with his unique arsenal. As the three debated the issue, a grizzly bear came along and swallowed them all; hawk, lion and stinker! ___________________________________________________  An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  Miguel Burgos, 27, Hartford, Connecticut, USA 
 Driver who fled deadly crash scene under arrest 
 Miguel Burgos of Hartford was arrested after a high-speed crash during which he drove into a utility pole, cutting the car in half, police say. He fled the scene, leaving his female passenger to die alone. Police have arrested a man who they said slammed a stolen car into a utility pole in Hartford -- splitting it in half -- and fled the scene, leaving his female passenger to die alone. Miguel Burgos, 27, of Arlington Street in Hartford was arrested late Monday afternoon and charged with second- degree manslaughter, reckless endangerment, driving without a license and third-degree larceny among others, police said. He was in custody overnight on $325,000 bail. Liza Ramos, 34, died in the crash, which happened about 7:40 p.m. Friday near 401 Flatbush Ave. Investigators learned that the 2006 Nissan Altima, which had been reported stolen from someone in New Britain the day before, had been speeding west on Flatbush when it slammed into the pole on the south side of the road, police said. The force of the impact cut the car in half and threw Ramos. Police said witnesses told officers that the driver ran from the scene, leaving the critically-injured woman. During an investigation that Lt. Paul Cicero called extensive, detectives from the Crime Scene Division identified Burgos as a suspect and obtained a warrant for his arrest. Burgos other charges are reckless driving, evading responsibility and second-degree criminal trover, police said.

I need a few tips to help me identify them, without getting infected. Anna  Dear Anna First and foremost I would recommend that you get  Mailwasher I have used and recommended MailWasher since Nick Bolton created it in the mid 90s. With the Humor Letter being read by 10,000 or more people every day, If there had been ONE person, who had an unsatisfactory experience with it, or a complaint, I would have heard about it. No complaints whatsoever. Everybody who tried it, loves it. Since I have not changed my address, humor@webby.com since 1994, it is on every spammer's CD. So what? Mailwasher takes care of the spam. Most of the spam and scam is recognized right out of the box. In addition to that, you can make filters. Gmail copied that feature, or part of them. With mailWasher you can pull down filter conditions like "IF ..., but not IF ...", and all kinds of devious tricks. Scammers simply don't have a chance. You can set it to just mark bad stuff for deletion, and allow you one last look at it, or just dump it right on the server, sent to hell without any human ever seeing it. For example, if you get an email from an AOL address, and it has INVOICE, then you KNOW it is phony. Legitimate businesses don't have AOL or Hotmail addresses. So it is quite safe to dump emails like that straight to hell, automatically, without even listing them. You can also use filters to safeguard some mails. You can play with the conditions and dump all mails from your former college, BUT NOT if there is "George" in the header somewhere. Making filters is a strategy game, and YOU have all the weapons. It is actually fun! Any spam or scam that gets through, you take notice. If there is ever a second one some day, then you make a filter. Have FUN! DearWebby

"I push them away." "I see. What do you want me to do?" The patient implored. "Break my arms." ____________________________________________ >From Eleanor In my teens, friends would ask, "Who are you going out with this weekend?"
