It was found that men preferred to engage in sexual activity on the days that started with the letter "T". Examples of those days are as follows: Tuesday Thursday Thanksgiving Today Tomorrow Thaturday Thunday In Australia, it's the days ending with "ee" like Mondee, Tuesdee, Wednesdee, Thursdee, Fridee, Saturdee and Sundee. _____________________________________________________   ______________________________________________________ While ferrying workers back and forth from our offshore oil rig, the helicopter I was in lost power and went down. Fortunately, it landed safely in a lake. Struggling to get out, one man tore off his seat belt, inflated his life vest, and jerked open the exit door. "Don't jump!" the pilot yelled. "This thing is supposed to float!" As the man leapt from the helicopter into the lake, he yelled back, "Yeah, and it's supposed to FLY too!" ------------------------ By the way, you are NOT supposed to inflate the life jacket until AFTER you are through the door. You might not make it through the door with an inflated life jacket, and really annoy the people behind you, having to stab your life jacket to let the air out. ______________________________________________________   Just came across this pictrue I took a few years ago. A rock formation about 80 Miles south of Globe, Arizona, and a few miles east of the highway. Doesn't she look like she is getting into a foul mood from waiting a lot longer than planned ? _____________________________________________________

Anderson faces the following charges: First degree reckless homicide, as a party to a crime, use of a dangerous weapon, habitual criminality repeater Possession of a firearm by a felon, habitual criminality repeater He will probably plead guilty to reduced charges and be out on the street again way too soon.

The witness was present at the time of the shooting. The witness told police Anderson was at 23rd and Finn and "was yelling at someone" to "get off (Anderson's) (expletive) block." The witness told investigators he saw Anderson "in the middle of the street, with a firearm in his right hand, running northbound toward 23rd and Finn." Anderson was "firing his handgun while he ran" and the witness indicated he "could see the handgun 'bucking up' in Anderson's hand while Anderson fired."

Little Justin Evans Jr. was struck in the heart. "When I turned and looked, blood was just coming out of him like a faucet," Kloss said.  _________________________________  Tech Support Pits From: Mark Re: Lots of fake bounces Dear Webby, I use one email address to send mail, but a whole bunch of different ones to receive mail, so that it automatically gets sorted to billing, quotes, follow-up, support, etc. Those addresses are on the sites, and I can't change them, even though by now they are probably on most spammer's CDs because of their robots collecting them off the web. Now the spammers forge those addresses as their sender address, and I get all the bounces when they send spam to no longer existing addresses or addresses that are protected by MailWasher. You are probably in the same boat. How do YOU deal with the deluge of bounces? Mark   Dear Mark yes, I am indeed in the same boat. Yesterday my MailWasher trashed over 2700 mails like that. Life sure would be tough without it! I use a filter that I made many years ago, when Senator McCain (or his staff) forged my old Yukon address as the sender address of their spam. The challenge is dealing with different subject lines. The more stupid and incompetent an ISP is, the more likely he will use a non-standard subject line for a bounce. To catch as many as possible you have to check for keywords in those subject lines. Make a filter that looks at the "Subject", select: "Regular Expression contains" and into the expression field paste this: (everything between the lines all one line, not wordwrapped like here) ------------------- failure delivery|Failure notice|DELIVERY FAILURE|failed delivery|returned mail|undeliverable|Delivery Status|Delivery notification|Undelivered|bulk email|Mail delivery ------------------ Then make a second criteria looking at the TO line. select: does NOT contain and into the data field put your normal send address. Just that send address, not the many recipient addresses that you use. Set the filter to delete, not report, hide. Hit OK, and it's done. There is no point reporting it, since the re-sender is just an incompetent ISP, who is too stupid to tell the difference between a forged and a real address, and cheerfully sends a bounce to a different IP number than where it came from. As far as spam reporting is concerned, it's no longer spam, but a moron malfunction. You can analyze the bounces. What you will find is that the bouncerd mail came from an open proxie or the machine of some gullible fool, who downloaded silly toolbars that included a trojan program, and now sends out spam on behalf of one or more spammers. The second criteria is quite important. It allows legitimate bounces to get to you. If one of your clients changes their email address without telling you, you need to know that, especially if it is your invoice that bounces back. If you have more than one legitimate sender address, use a regular expression there too, and separate the addresses with a pipe | . Have FUN! DearWebby

 Thans to Jan for this story: The Sermon I think this Mom will never forget... this particular Sunday sermon... "Dear Lord," the minister began, with arms extended toward heaven and a rapturous look on his upturned face. "Without you, we are but dust." He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter (who was listening!) leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little girl voice that all others could hear, "Mom, what is butt dust?" ____________________________________________________  Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com Swimming Noodle For Padding Bed Rails By Mardrey M.

 One night George got really drunk. In the morning, he rolled over and sleeping peacefully beside him was the scariest girl he'd ever seen. Very quietly, he slipped his arm out from under her, got up, and dressed as fast as he could. He put a twenty-dollar bill on the bureau and started to tip-toe out. Just then he felt a tug on his pant leg. Looking down, he saw a girl just as scary loking as the one in the bed. She looked up at him, smiled a toothless smile, and asked, "What? Nothing for the bridesmaid?" ___________________________________________________

 A marine biologist was telling his friends about some of his most recent research findings. "Some whales can communicate at a distance of 300 miles," he said. "What the heck would one whale say to another 300 miles away?" asked his sarcastic friend. "I can't be sure," he expert said, "but it sounds something like 'Can you hear me now?'" ____________________________________________________
