He also needed fuel for the big, gas guzzling plow truck to bring the beer back home. He used one of his own personal checks to pay for the gas. DUH. I think he is on the county snow SHOVEL crew now. __________________________________________________ >From Jan Two nuns were shopping at a 7-11 store. As they passed by the beer cooler, one nun said to the other, "wouldn't a nice cool beer or two taste wonderful on a hot summer evening?" The second nun answered, "Indeed it would, sister, but i would not feel comfortable buying beer, since I am certain it would cause a scene at the checkout stand." "I can handle that without a problem," the other nun replied, and she picked up a six-pack and headed for the check-out. The cashier had a surprised look on his face when the two nuns arrived with a six-pack of beer. "We use beer for washing our hair" the nun said, "back at our nunnery, we call it a Catholic shampoo." Without blinking an eye, the cashier reached under the counter, pulled out a package of pretzel sticks, and placed them in the bag with the beer. He then looked the nun straight in the eye, smiled, and said: "the curlers are on the house." __________________________________________________ Reported by Rock An International Bonehead Award has been earned by  Ayrimis Scerini, 31, Ottawa, Illinois, USA Ottawa child sex offender facing possible 60 years jail A 31-year-old Ottawa man could spend the next 60 years in prison for sexually assaulting a child.

Dwayne's wife announced that her mother had been gone on her stroll in the woods way too long. So the two of them went looking for her. After a while they spotted a gigantic, ferocious grizzly bear squared off with the mother-in-law! Immediately the daughter said to her husband, in a frantic voice, "Dwayne you gotta do something, or there's gonna be trouble fer sure!" Dewayne calmly said, "Nah, those grizzllies are a lot tougher than they look. He'll probably live." _______________________________________________ Monica N. wrote: "... I was wandering around the 'net recently, and GOSH! I found a whole bunch of PHILATELISTS. And then I discovered groups populated by THESPIANS and HOMO SAPIENS.

Soon after the onscreen action started, she put her hand on the man's lap. Looking over at him, she remarked: "I see this is getting you excited. But how come it's so cold?" "Because you are petting my popsicle!" the man replied.... ___________________________________________________________ DearWebby's Tech Support Pits FROM: Lynn RE: How reliable is ZOOM ? Dear Webby Messenger is too unreliable, and they censor you and put you into FB jail if you dare to post facts. Some friends have switched to ZOOM and tell me to follow. I realize, there is no wacky gossip, but I rarely read that anyway. So, how reliable is ZOOM, and how easy is it, compared to Skype? I do occasionally use Skype, but since Microsoft bought it, I don't trust it anymore. Lynn Dear Lynn Zoom usually works quite well, about like Skype used to. As a newbie let your friends initiate calls. Then you get an email with a clickable link and a password. Hit that and you are connected in full color. As you mentioned, there is no gossip and no bimbo- malfunctions badmouthing you. It is strictly you and your friend. You can drag more friends into the conversation and have a conference. For example Jocelyne, my diabetic nurse, sometimes drags in Nicole, her intern or apprentice, and then they gang up on me. She even shares part of her screen and drags an Excel spreadsheet onto it, and gives me hell about "sinning" last Tuesday afternoon. I still use Skype, especially for phoning, but I also use ZOOM more and more. Still have a lot to learn on that. Have FUN DearWebby _____________________________________________________ (Taken from actual letters received by a County Department) "I am forwarding my marriage certificate and six children I have seven but one died which was baptized on a half sheet of paper." "Mrs. Jones had not had any clothes for a year and has been visited regularly by the clergy." "Please find for certain if my husband is dead. The man I am living with can't eat or do anything until he knows." "I am very much annoyed to find you have branded my son illiterate. This is a dirty lie as I was married a week before he was borned." "In answer to your letter, I have given birth to a boy weighing ten pounds. I hope this is satisfactory." "I am forwarding my marriage certificate and three children, one of which is a mistake as you can see." "Unless I get my husbands money pretty soon, I will be forced to lead an imortal life." "You have changed my little boy to a little girl. Will this make any difference?" ____________________________________________________ Today, December 30 in 1460, At the Battle of Wakefield, in England's Wars of the Roses, the Duke of York was defeated and killed by the Lancastrians. 1853, The United States bought about 45,000 square miles of land from Mexico in a deal known as the Gadsden Purchase. 1879, Gilbert and Sullivan's "The Pirates of Penzance" was first performed, at Paignton, Devon, England. 1880, The Transvaal was declared a republic.
