It's made by lazy men trying to find easier ways to do something. --- Robert Heinlein (1907 - 1988) ____________________________________________________ A father, mother and child went out to spend time on the beach on a hot summer's day, but as soon as they reached the beach they discovered that there was a black flag there, a sign not to enter the water. The boy really wanted to get in the water, but his mother did not agree and they stayed on the beach to rest in the sun and play in the sand. After a few minutes, the father got bored and turned to his wife: "Keep an eye on the boy, I'm going into the water, there's no way the sea is really that dangerous." After a few minutes the boy asked "Mom, why did you let dad get in the water and not me?" "Because you and father are two different people and there are things he can do and you can't." answered the mother. "Is it because dad knows how to swim really well?" continued the boy. "Not really" answered the mother. "Is it because dad is big and strong?" "No." "Then why is daddy allowed to enter the water and I'm not?" the boy complained. "Because daddy has life insurance." __________________________________________________ Reported by Rock An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by Matthew Carlisle, 31, Marietta, Georgia, USA Woman assaulted while taking shower at popular gym Peeping Tom arrested after assaulting woman in gym shower.

What is the best way to clean it, short of pulling the keys off and tossing them into the washing machine? Lilly Thank you. Helen Dear Lilly Modern keyboards are not hurt by water. Whack it upside down onto some paper on the sidewalk, then vacuum it thoroughly, and whack it again. After that, just take it with you into the shower, sponge it until it looks clean, rinse it, and let it drip dry upside down on the drying rack at your sink. That is all there is to it. HaveFUN! DearWebby ___________________________________________________ A couple is in a Lamaze class, and during one session the husband is given a bag of sand to wear around his middle to give him an idea of what it feels like to be pregnant. After cinching it around his waist, he stands up and says, "This doesn't feel so bad." In response, the instructor drops a pen and asks the husband to pick it up. "You want me to pick up the pen as if I were pregnant, the way my wife would do it?" the husband asks. "Exactly," the instructor says. The man turns to his wife and says, "Honey, pick up that pen for me." _____________________________________________________ A passenger jet is taxiing down the runway when it stops abruptly, turns around and returns to the gate.

"The pilot was bothered by a noise he heard in the engine," the attendant explains, "and it took us a while to find a deaf pilot." _____________________________________________ If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can!
