"My wife asked me to buy ORGANIC vegetables from the garden market," said the first man. "So were you able to find some?" the second man, asked. "Well when I got to the market, I asked the produce clerk, 'These vegetables are for my wife. Have they been sprayed with any poisonous chemicals?' "The produce clerk said 'No, you'll have to do that yourself.'" ____________________________________________________   Young bull exercising ____________________________________________________ Two husbands, Bill and Doug, were discussing their married lives.

Officials released the seven minute video Wednesday afternoon of the June 21 attack after an officer tried to pull over a car for running a stop sign near the intersection of Plum Street and Randall Road, according to Aurora police. The suspects' vehicle then pulled into a driveway located in the 600 block of North Elmwood Drive and began yelling obscenities at the officer, according to police. The video shows the moment the occupants of the car fail to comply with the officer's order to remain in the vehicle. A female passenger is seen in the video exiting the vehicle. While the officer orders the woman to return to the car, the male driver also exits the vehicle and approaches the officer at the rear of the car and threatens to fight him. The officer informs the driver and the female that he is also under arrest for obstruction. The male driver is then seen running away, and the officer runs after him. The two female passengers run after the officer and allegedly begin striking the officer with their fists and kicking him. Aurora police say the officer was struck repeatedly in the head and body and was then strangled by a female passenger to the point where the officer lost consciousness. "A minor infraction that likely would have resulted in a citation at most turned into an officer fighting for his life," said Aurora Police Chief Kristen Ziman. A short time later, the video shows additional officers arrive on the scene and place the subjects into custody. Jennifer Taylor, 24, of Chicago, Sheba Taylor, 26, of Aurora, Paul Sherrod, 28, of Aurora were each charged with attempted first degree murder, aggravated battery and aggravated assault, Aurora police said in a statement. Even though the Governor there is quite firmly on the side of the criminals, these three should be spending significant time in jail.  
 DearWebby's tech support pits From: Vic Re: Adobe has gone bad Dear Webby Has Adobe gone bad? My Dreamweaver, fully paid up, won't work anymore on W7. I can't figure out whether is is the usual gross incompetence, or malicious sabotage. Their support is a total waste of time. One of them, after wasting almost 3 hours of my time claimed that their server, that does the owner verification, is broken and will get fixed soon. That was on Friday. Today, another support person, wasted the same amount of time, and concluded that Adobe can't handle W7 since the July 14 "update". And that I should ask their forum. Well, the silly ninnies on the forum said I should downgrade to W10. THAT is not an acceptable solution. Vic  Dear Vic I agree 100%. Dreamweaver was a great program, the way Macromedia had written it. I could really get a lot of work done with it. And I did! Then ADOBE took it, and it went downhill steadily. Now, it looks like, Microsoft took over Adobe and did a hostile sabotage of the owner verification app. I have the same problem. If I find some other program to use, I will be gone like a shot. Have FUN! DearWebby 
 Over dinner one evening, a wife says to her husband, "I met this horrible and rude man downtown this morning, and right away I knew he was a troublemaker. He started to insult me. He used really bad language. He even threatened me!" "How did you meet this fellow?" her husband asked, very concerned. "Well," she says, "we met by accident. I hit his wheelchair with the car."

 A young mother finds out she is pregnant again, and she tells the good news to anyone who will listen. One day when the woman and the boy are out shopping, a friend of the mother asks the little boy if he was excited about the new baby. "Oh, yes!" the little tyke says. And having overheard some of his parents' private conversations, he adds, "And I know what we are going to name it, too. If it's a girl we're going to call it Mary, and if it's another boy we're going to call it Quits." ____________________________________________ A Scottish lad and lass were sitting together on a heathery hill in the Highlands. They had been silent for a while, when the lass said, "A penny for your thoughts." The lad was a bit abashed, but he finally said, "Well, I was thinkin' how nice it would be if ye'd give me a wee bit of a kiss." So she did so. But he again lapsed into a pensive mood which lasted long enough for the lass to ask him, "What are ye thinkin' now?" To which the lad grumbled, "Well, I was hopin' ye hadn't forgot the penny!" ____________________________________________ A cardiac specialist died and at his funeral the coffin was placed in front of a huge mock up of a heart made up of flowers. When the pastor finished with the sermon and eulogy, and after everyone said their good-byes, the heart opened, the coffin rolled inside and the heart closed. Just then one of the mourners burst into laughter. The guy next to him asked: "Why are you laughing?" "I was thinking about my own funeral" the man replied. "What's so funny about that?" "I'm a gynecologist." ______________________________________________
