For the first few days, the uncle shows him the usual things, the livestock, the crops. After three days, however, it is obvious that the nephew is getting bored, and the uncle is running out of things to amuse him with. Finally, the uncle has an idea. "Why don't you grab a gun, take the dogs, and go shooting?" This seems to cheer the nephew up, and with enthusiasm, off he goes. After a few hours, the nephew returns. "How did you enjoy that?" his uncle asks. "It was great," the nephew says. "I kinda like those dogs, so I took the cats instead. Got any more cats?" _____________________________________________________ At the spring barbecue a lady stood up and said that it was time to get ready for the celebrations. At the stroke of midnight, she wanted every man to be standing next to the one person who made his life worth living. Well, it was kind of embarrassing. The poor bartender was almost crushed to death. _____________________________________________________  ___________________________________________________ A Bonehead award has been reported by Rock  Melissa Ann Larue, 40, Phoenix, Arizona, USA Woman shot after pointing gun at Phoenix officer A woman was hospitalized after she was shot by police in Phoenix on May 22 and about 2 weeks later, body cam footage was released. Officers responded to reports of a suspicious vehicle at around 7:30 p.m. on May 22 near 19th Avenue and Bell Road. When they got there, police found the vehicle in question and tried to pull it over, but the driver fled, police said. A police helicopter followed the car for 15 minutes. Then an officer deployed a grappler near 19th Avenue and Phelps Road, stopping the vehicle. "Once the vehicle was stopped, officers positioned themselves all around the vehicle with their guns drawn. Officers gave multiple commands for the woman to show her hands and turn off the car. The woman did not comply and produced an object perceived to be a handgun and pointed it at an officer. This is when multiple officers discharged their firearms," police said in a statement on June 5. The department further explained, "After the shooting, the woman was ordered to show her hands and did not fully comply. An officer deployed two rounds from a less lethal 40 mm launcher at the drivers window to remove the glass giving officers a clearer view of the woman."

At he funeral home, he stands before the open casket and tries to think of words to console the widow. Finally, the minister says, "I know this must be a very hard blow, Mrs. Jones. But we must remember that what we see here is only the husk, the shell. The nut has gone to heaven." ___________________________________________________ A man went to the doctor complaining of insomnia. The doctor gave him a thorough examination, found absolutely nothing physically wrong with him, and then told him, "Listen, if you ever expect to cure your insomnia, you just have to stop taking your troubles to bed with you." "I know," said the man, "but I can't. My wife refuses to sleep alone." _____________________________________________________ DearWebby's Tech Support Pits DearWebby's Tech Support Pits From: Lynn RE: Hard drive defrag Dear Webby, I have two hard drives. How often should they be defragged? Lynn Dear Lynn That's like asking how often the laces on your sneakers should be tied. Every time you use them. Most of the defrag program out there are garbage. For example, I was using Claris, an more than a bit suspicious about their cutesy tetris style "entertainment". Then my hard drive crashed, without any warning. Well, I sure won't use THAT again, ever. Right now I am using Defragler. It has been around for ages, and I have used it before on some machines. It is from the CrapCleaner people. Excellent reputation! You might want to run CrapCleaner first and get rid of any crap. No point defragmenting crap. With Crap Cleaner keep in mind that they have been taken over by Avast. That means Avast is desperately trying to slither all kinds of weird stuff onto your machine. Deny! Deny! Deny!. All you need is CrapCleaner (Free) and Defragler (Free). Sure, if you need to spend company budget before year end, then get the PRO versions. Then you will get free update reminders. WOW! One friend, Prof. Dr. Moe advises against that. He is more than a bit suspicious about new versions and fanatically sticks with an old version, that works much better. If your 2020 version works well for you, then don't let it update to the next version. Remember how well Windows W7 worked, and how much cussing you did and are doing about W10? Newer software is not always an improvement. Have fun! Dearwebby ____________________________________________ If you can help with the cost of the humor letter, please donate what you can!

"I'm busy," he said. "I'll do the next one." The next time came around and she asked again. The husband narrowed his eyes as he looked at his wife. "I didn't mean the next diaper. I meant the next baby." _________________________________________________ Today, June 7 in 1494, Spain and Portugal divided the new lands they had discovered between themselves. 1498, Christopher Columbus left on his third voyage of exploration. 1546, Peace of Ardes ended the war between France and England. 1654, Louis XIV was crowned king of France. 1712, The Pennsylvania Assembly banned the importation of slaves. 1775, The United Colonies changed their name to the United States. 1776, Richard Henry Lee of Virginia proposed to the Continental Congress a resolution calling for a Declaration of Independence. 1863, Mexico City was captured by French troops. 1892, J.F.
