When I picked up the pot, I could not help noticing that the brew was as black as asphalt and just about as thick. "How old is the coffee you have here?" I asked the woman who was reading a magazine behind the store counter. She shrugged. "I don't know. I've only been working here two weeks."

 While attending college, I worked evenings at a retail store. On slow nights my co-worker Susan would often sing along with the radio while we did paperwork or restocked merchandise. One evening as the manager was leaving, I expressed my concern to him about our safety, being two women working alone at night. "Oh, you'll be fine," he said, waving of his hand. "If you see anybody who looks suspicious, just warn him that Susan knows karaoke." ______________________________________________________ A salesman was trying to talk a farmer into buying a bicycle, but was meeting with considerable sales resistance. "Shucks, I'd sooner spend my money on a cow," said the farmer. "Ah," replied the salesman, "but think how silly you'd look riding around on a cow." "Humph!" retorted the farmer. "Not near as silly as youI'd look trying to milk a bicycle!" ______________________________________________________   ______________________________________________________

 ______________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  Florida woman beats the crap out of her boyfriend who wanted to go back to his wife.  Charlotte Pollock, 37, West Palm Beach, Florida A West Palm Beach woman was arrested Thursday afternoon after being accused of beating the man she was having an affair with, according to Delray Beach Police. Why was she so mad? Apparently, he wanted to get back with his wife. Woman charged with beating lover: You love that (Rolex) more than me photo Charlotte Pollock is facing charges of aggravated battery, grand theft and trespassing. Charlotte Pollock, 37, of West Palm Beach, is facing charges of aggravated battery, larceny and trespassing. Pollock, who is married, was allegedly having an affair with a 54-year-0ld married man with whom she worked with. Sometime in mid-June, the man was at his Delray Beach home when he told Pollock he wanted to get back together with his wife, which angered Pollock. According to a Delray Beach Police arrest report, she first struck him over the head with a glass pane from a coffee table, then struck him again with a glass pane as he retreated to his bedroom. Pollock then trashed his bedroom, shoved him on the bed and tried to shove his prescription medication into his mouth and ears while jamming her fingers into his eyes, according to the report. Pollock then picked up a lamp and struck him in the back and shoulder. When the man tried to call police, Pollock allegedly ripped a gold and white Rolex watch off his wrist and said: You love that [expletive] watch more than me. She then left the mans house. After police asked her to come to the station and tell her side of the story, Pollock didnt show. She did, however, return the watch to the man, dropping it off on the front seat of his car. Pollock was released from the Palm Beach County Jail on Thursday after posting $5,000 bond.  ______________________________________________________  Tech Support Pits From: Sandra RE: Incredimail spying Dear Webby, Some of our clients use that "Incredimail" spyware with that silly gullibility reporter ( that little orange envelope icon ). If I have to forward their mail to another department, quite often it causes the mail to stick and not go out as it should. What causes that and what do you recommend to get around that nuisance ? Sandra  Dear Sandra The cause for that problem is probably that gullibility reporter trying to report on you and/or the original sender of that mail. If you just go on-line to retrieve the incoming mail from the Internet, but then go off-line while you forward mail to different departments on your internal office network, then that tattle-tale can not snitch on you to Incredimail, but keeps on trying. The same of course also happens whenever the Incredimail server is too busy to accept the report about you. When you forward that type of mail, they hide that orange envelope in a tiny, almost invisible dot near the bottom. Just locate that tiny dot and delete it. After that, the mail will go out instantly. Have FUN! DearWebby  _____________________________________________________  A fellow nurse at my hospital received a call from an anxious woman. "I'm diabetic and I'm afraid I've had too much sugar today," she said. "Are you light-headed?" my colleague asked. "No, not really," the caller answered, "Just a bit at the roots, but other than that I am a redhead this week." ______________________________________________________ If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can!     ______________________________________________________  Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com Buy Fireworks After the Holiday  Last year I went after the 4th when they were having the buy 1 get 2 free sales (yep I typed that right) and stocked up for this year.

Reading of the Declaration of Independence 
 ____________________________________________________ "Hello?" A girl's voice came over the line. "Can I speak to Ben, please?" I live by myself, and my name definitely is not Ben. It was probably a wrong number and I was fed up with wrong number calls. There always eem to be more during times of full moon. "I'm sorry, he's not in right now. Can I take a message?" "Do you know what time he'll be back?" she responded. "I think he said he'd be home around 10:00." Silence on the other end...a confused silence. "Is this Steve?" My name isn't Steve, either. This was definitely a wrong number. "Yes, it is. Do you want to leave a message for Ben?" "Well...he said he would be home tonight and asked me to call him..." she said in a slightly irritated voice. I replied, "Well, he went out with Karen about an hour ago, and said that he would be back at 10:00." A shocked voice now: "Who's Karen?!" "The girl he went out with." "I know that! I mean...who is she?" "I don't know her last name. Look, do you want me to leave a message for Ben?" "Yes...please do. Tell him to call me when he gets home." She was sounding pretty irate at this point, and I could hear her temper flaring. "I sure will. Is this Jennifer?" She exploded this time. "Who's Jennifer?" Apparently she wasn't. "Well...he's going out with Jennifer at 10:00. I thought you were her. Sorry...it was an honest mistake." "Ben's the one that's made the mistake! Tell him that Alice called him and the she's Very Upset and that I would Like Him to Call Me as Soon As He Gets Home." I smiled and said, "Okay, I will...but Becky isn't going to like this..."
