Every night I have the same horrible dream. I'm lying in bed when all of a sudden five women rush in and start tearing off my clothes." The psychiatrist nodded, "And what do you do?" "I push them away!" "I see. And what can I do to help you with this?" The patient implored, "Please,... Break my arms!" ______________________________________________________ From Sheila in Oz The weather was very hot, so this man wanted desperately take a dive in the nearby lake. He didn't bring his swimming outfit, but who cared? He was all alone. So, he undressed and got into the water. After some delightful minutes of cool swimming, a pair of old ladies walked onto the shore in his direction. He panicked, got out of the water and grabbed a bucket, which lay on the sandy beach. He held the bucket in front of his private parts and sighed with relief. The ladies got nearby and looked at him. He felt awkward and wanted to move. Then one of the ladies said, "You know, I have a special gift, I can read minds." "Impossible," said the embarrassed man, "You really know what I'm thinking?" "Yes," the lady replied, "I know that you think that the bucket you're holding has a bottom in it." _____________________________________________________   ______________________________________________________   Faros del Mar _____________________________________________________

 _____________________________________________________ The editor of a small country newspaper, furious over several government bills that had recently been passed, printed a scathing editorial with an enormous headline: "HALF THE LEGISLATORS ARE CROOKS"'. Many local Politicians were outraged and exerted tremendous pressure on him to print a retraction. He finally gave in to the pressure and ran his apology with the headline: "HALF THE LEGISLATORS SAY THEY ARE NOT CROOKS". _____________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  Patrick Moan, Vero Beach, Florida  6-foot-9 inch Florida man punched his handicapped girlfriend and wanted cops to arrest him.  A man was arrested after he punched his armless and legless girlfriend and took her to Vero Beach Walmart so she could report it to a shopper, the Miami Herald originally reported. The Miami Herald said Patrick Moan, who is reported as being 6 foot 9 inches tall, punched his girlfriend in the right ear Sunday. Later that afternoon, Moan took his girlfriend to the Walmart, hoping his girlfriend would tell someone that he hit her. The Herald reported Moan told a shopper himself that he did it and hoped the person would "call the cops so he could go to jail." The Miami Herald attributed the Indian River County Sheriff's Office who said Moan was tired of taking care of her and pushing her around in her wheelchair. He also said that if he punched her and confessed to it, he would no longer have to take care of her, the Miami Herald attributed to the arrest report. The chickenshit could have kicked a police car and get arrested. He did not have to hit a handicapped woman, or he could have simply brought her to a women`s shelter.  _________________________________  Tech Support Pits From: Carol D Re: Kodak EasyShare  Dear Webby, I just installed an updated version of Kodak EasyShare. Now whenever I boot up in the morning, the first thing I see is Kodak EasyShare. Is there a way I can stop this? I am not sure where to look to fix this. I am running Windows XP. You have helped me before and I am confident you can do it again. Thank you for an enjoyable read each morning with my coffee. Carol D  Dear Carol I have never used Kodak EasyShare and have no clue about the settings in that program. Best would be if you called their Support. If you can't get help from them, use the tools in Spybot-Search&Destroy to take Easyshare out of the start-up queue. Have FUN! DearWebby  Thank you so much for your help. I have the Spybot program and love it. I'll use that to delete it from my start-up queue. I knew you'd have the answer! Carol

 Bill watched through the window as his young daughter played in the first snow of the season and made a snowman with a little friend. Entertained by the sight, he went closer and heard the little boy say: "I got an idea. To finish it off, I'll go to the kitchen and find a carrot." And his daughter replied, "Make it two. The second can be his nose."

 An atheist complained to a friend, "Christians have their special holidays, such as Christmas and Easter; and Jews celebrate their holidays, such as Passover and Yom Kippur; Muslims have their holidays. EVERY religion has its holidays. But we atheists," he said, "have no recognized national holidays. It's an unfair discrimination." His friend replied, "Well... you got April first!" ____________________________________________________  Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com Skillet Pizza By Judy [413 Posts, 7,091 Comments] Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 10 minutes Total Time: 25 minutes Yield: 4 slices Source: Adapted from Taste of Home Ingredients: 1 cup flour (I used whole wheat) 2 tsp baking powder 1 tsp dried oregano 1/2 tsp salt 6 Tbsp water 2 Tbsp plus 1 teaspoon olive oil, divided 1/2 cup pizza sauce chopped peppers sliced mushrooms 1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese Steps: Preheat broiler.
