The line inched along for almost an hour until the man finally got his license. He inspected his photo for a moment and commented to the clerk, "I was standing in line so long, I ended up looking pretty grouchy in this picture." The clerk looked at his picture closely. "It's okay," she reassured the man. "That's how you're going to look when the cops pull you over anyway." ____________________________________________________   Kasun Madhushka ____________________________________________________ The young teacher of the earth science class was lecturing on map reading. After explaining about latitude, longitude, degrees and minutes the teacher asked Morris, "Suppose I asked you to meet me for lunch at 25 degrees, 4 minutes north latitude and 130 degrees, 15 minutes West longitude...?" After a confused silence Morris replied, "I guess you'd be eating alone. That's halfway to Hawaii, and I can't swim." ____________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  Andrea Ariel-Jones Sheppard, 32, Pontiac, Michigan, USA  Pontiac woman gets personal bond after breaking deputy's eye bone  A Pontiac woman was arrested Sunday after she was accused of punching an Oakland County Sheriff's Deputy in the face so hard, she broke his orbital bone. The woman, identified as Andrea Ariel-Jones Sheppard, 32, was arraigned on one count of assaulting a police officer, which is a four-year felony. According to Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard, the deputy responded to a call of a woman walking in and out of the street near East Pike and Woodward Avenue in Pontiac and asked Sheppard if she needed help. Bouchard said when the deputy arrived, she was standing in the middle of Pike Street. The deputy got out of his car and asked if she needed help. Sheppard would not identify herself, became belligerent, and yelled obscenities at the deputy. When another deputy arrived, Sheppard approached the first deputy and continued to yell obscenities, Bouchard said, and then hit him several times in the head and upper body while he was trying to get out of his patrol car. According to Bouchard, she punched him in the eye and broke his orbital bone. The deputy pushed her back and she began to advance towards the deputy before she was Tasered and subsequently arrested. This week, Sheppard was arraigned in Oakland County court where she was given a $1,000 personal bond, which does not require a defendant to post any money to be released. Bouchard was outraged at the ability of Sheppard to be released after assaulting the deputy. "I am angry at how regularly people assault police officers today and how little attention or care they have in Washington for this," Sheriff Michael Bouchard said. "In 2019, the FBI reported more than 56,000 police officers were assaulted." Sheppard is due in court on June 17.  
 DearWebby's Tech Support Pits FROM: Amanda RE: Is fiber faster? Is fiber faster, or is all their hype about copper corroding and glass fiber optics a lot faster, just bullshit? As anything coming from the Turkmenistanian Fiber Salesmen at Telass? I am seriously disappointed that they replaced all three support techs with hordes of one finger typing fiber salesmen sitting in the bushes outaide a Starbucks somewhere far away and having the ethics of a used car salesman in a junkyard. Ananda  Dear Amanda! You sure identified current Telus support 100% correctly! Their road techs are still good, just their online support totally stinks. Yes, their hype about speed and copper corroding is just a bunch of lies. Copper does not corrode. If you use it to cover an outhouse roof, it will get a patina, but it will NOT corrode. My speed from here to Calgary, via good, old-fashioned copper, has always been good: 29 - 30 Mbps. On fiber, that is still the same. Identical. As before, the bottleneck is in Calgary. That is where they need fiber, instead of ancient hemp rope. So, in summary: Don't believe a word the fiber salesmen tell you, and DON'T pay extra for fiber. They will get desperate enough to give you a fiber connection at the same price you are paying for copper. The fiber is THEIR need, not yours. You will find a 2 - 4 second lag (delay) to get to a site, but once you are there, the connection is just as fast as with copper. The lag is apparently just something you have to get used to with fiber and hemp. Have FUN! DearWebby 
 Driving home after working late the other day, I was stopped by a police officer for speeding. I explained that I was rushing home to be with my wife on our first anniversary, which was the truth. However, instead of being let off with a warning, the officer said "Congratulations!" and then proceeded to write out the ticket. As he handed it to me, he said, "The first year is paper, right?"
