The wife glares at her husband and says, "Who was that?" "Oh,"replies the husband, "she's my mistress." "Well, that's the last straw," says the wife. "I've had enough, I want a divorce!" "I can understand that," replies her husband, "but remember, if we get a divorce it will mean no more shopping trips to Paris, no more wintering in Barbados, no more summers in Tuscany, no more Jaguar in the garage and no more yacht club. But the decision is yours." Just then, a mutual friend enters the restaurant with a gorgeous babe on his arm. "Who's that woman with Moishe?" asks the wife. "That's his mistress," says her husband. "Ours is prettier," she replies _____________________________________________________   ______________________________________________________ A friend is showing a Texan the Niagara Falls.

 _____________________________________________________ Caution! This story from Martin contains some words in Australian, and might not be suitable for reading from the church pulpit. This Chinese man moved into his new home in Australia. His Aussie neighbor, being the nice Aussie bloke that he was, decided to make him feel welcome. He went next door to wish him welcome. He was shocked to see the Chinese man in his nice backyard chasing ten chickens around like mad. "Must be a Chinese custom" he thought to himself. Deciding he could put off the welcome till a later date, he went home. The next day, he decided he was going to welcome the Chinese man When he looked through his window, he saw the Chinese man urinate into a cup and drink it. "Must be a Chinese custom" he thought to himself. Deciding he could put off the welcome till tomorrow, he went on with other stuff. The third day, he was determined he had to welcome the Chinese man. At his gate, he saw the Chinese man with his ear pressed against a cow's big fat butt. He became angry and went up to the Chinese man. "I'm sorry sir, I want to wish you a welcome, but I cannot stand your crazy Chinese customs!" He yelled in the Chinese man's face. The Chinese man looked confused and answered. "Solly sir, I think you awe mistaken. These awe actually Austwalian customs. I was told, to become an Austwalian, you have to chase chicks, drink piss, and lissen to boohll-sheet." _____________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  Andre Thomas Crew, 27, Waldorf, Maryland  Maryland man arrested for trying to kill woman with car  A man was arrested after her tried to run over a woman with his car on Wednesday night, according to a statement issued by Maryland State Police.

He has been charged with first- and second-degree assault and reckless endangerment.  _________________________________  Tech Support Pits From: Bonny Re: Fuzzy pictures Dear Webby, I have a bunch of older digital pictures that are quite fuzzy by today's standards. How do you make fuzzy pictures clear and sharp? Bonny  Dear Bonny As long as it is not motion blur or jitters, you have a very good chance at clarifying the pictures. If you have Paintshop Pro, increase the image size 10-15%, then use the "Clarify" button. Increase the size again and clarify once more. By now the pricture is probably getting rather coarse looking. Now use the Effects tool and select "Edge Preserving Smooth". After that, shrink the picture to original size. It should be quite acceptable now. This trick works pretty well on original pictures, but nothing works, if a picture has been saved a few times with a high JPG compression. Always work in PSP format, or at least PNG or TIFF, until all work is completed. Then save in that format first before doing a final save in JPG format. Have FUN!

 Thanks to Bob for this story: Several years ago, we had an Intern who was none too swift. One day she was typing and turned to a secretary and said, "I'm almost out of typing paper. What do I do?" "Just use copier machine paper," the secretary told her. With that, the intern took her last remaining blank piece of paper, put it on the photocopier and proceeded to make five "blank" copies.

 The teacher brought a Venus de Milo statue in class and asks, "What do you like best about it, class? Let's start with you, Robert." "The fine finish," says Robert. "Very good. And you, Peter?" "Her .... boobs!" says Peter. "Peter, get out! Go stand in the hall," responds the teacher with disgust. "And you, Johnny?" "I'm leaving, teacher, I'm leaving..." ____________________________________________________  Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com Food Fixes - Lumpy Sugar? The common cause of lumpy sugar is humidity. So it's always better to store sugar in a cool dry place in an airtight container. If you have lumpy sugar, place it in the refrigerator for 24 hours. If you still have lumps after that you can toss it in a food processor, but not for too long, or it will become powdered sugar. Tip provided by Thriftyfun.com font> ____________________________________________________  Two biologists are in the field following the tracks of a radio-collared grizzly bear. All of a sudden, the bear crashes out of the brush and heads right for them. They scramble up the nearest tree, but the bear starts climbing up the tree after them. The first biologist starts taking off his heavy leather hiking boots and pulls a pair of sleek running shoes from his back-pack. The second biologist gives him a puzzled look and says, "What in the world are you doing?" He replies, "I figure when the bear gets close to us, we'll jump down and make a run for it." The second guy says, "Are you crazy? We both know you can't outrun a full-grown grizzly bear." The first guy says, "I don't have to outrun the bear, I only have to outrun you!" ----------- Must have been a black bear. Adult grizzlies don`t climb trees. They pull or push them over.  
 
An interesting site about Bird Life International. 
 The whole neighborhood shook from the ear splitting explosion in a nearby Pharmacy. As 911 was called, shopkeepers ran outside to see what happened, people spotted the pharmacist staggering out of his smoldering building. His white uniform was now scorched black. He looked like Frankenstein. He went up to a shaken and shivering old lady standing nearby. "Lady!" he said, "Would you please ask your doctor to write that prescription again. And this time insist he better PRINT IT!" ___________________________________________________
