 _____________________________________________________ If fifty million people say a foolish thing, it is still a foolish thing. --- Anatole France (1844 - 1924) _____________________________________________________ At a jewelry store, a young man bought an expensive locket as a present for his girlfriend. "Don't you want her name engraved upon it?" asked the jeweler. The young man thought for a moment, and then, ever the pragmatic, steadfastly replied, "No, just engrave it: To My One And Only Love. That way, if we break up and she throws it back to me in anger, I can use it again." _____________________________________________________   ___________________________________________________ A father and his small son were standing in front of the tiger's cage at the zoo. Father was explaining how ferocious and strong tigers are, and junior was taking it all in with a serious expression. Dad," the boy said finally, "if the tiger got out of his cage and ate you up ..." "Yes, son?" the father said expectantly. "Which bus should I take home?" the boy finished. ___________________________________________________   An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  Matthew Stinson, 36, Lincoln, Nebraska, USA 
 White Claw Outlaw Collared 
 In an attempt to avoid arrest, a Nebraska suspect tossed a can of the popular hard seltzer at cops who sought to collar him for pulling a knife on a hotel employee. According to police, Matthew Stinson, 36, had threatened Sunday afternoon to kill multiple times while in the lobby of the Luxury Inn in Lincoln. Stinson, who was holding a knife, allegedly threatened to murder a clerk at the hotel (where he had been staying). Stinson also made comments about hurting others as he departed the hotel, cops say. By the time Lincoln Police Department officers arrived, Stinson had fled the area. When Stinson was located about six hours later, he became agitated and threw a can of White Claw at police and took off running. The spiked sparkling water, however, missed its targets and Stinson was apprehended after a short foot chase. Pictured above, Stinson was carrying a pocketknife when placed in custody. He was charged with resisting arrest, use of a deadly weapon to commit a felony, and making terroristic threats. Stinson is being held in the Lancaster County jail in lieu of $20,000 bond. Despite the popularity of the declaration that there "Ain't no laws when drinking Claws," multiple law enforcement agencies have pointed out that is not a viable defense for offenses committed while under the influence of the alcoholic seltzer.  DeaWebby's Tech Support Pits  From: Judi Re: Laser printers   Dear Webby Buying a laser printer was one of the best things I ever did. I don't do a lot of printing but I don't have to worry as you said. And I love the way it looks so clear & crisp. The printer I had before it was a nightmare. It had I think 6 cartridges, I was told this was the way to go, yeh right. Every time I went to use it I was told one the cartridges were low & It wouldn't print. Judi  Dear Judi I am glad you smartened up. I have to admit that I DO use an ink squirter type printer: A $30 Canon 4 function "printer". I use it strictly just as a scanner. For a $30 scanner it is actually pretty good. Have FUN! DearWebby

 A very successful businessman had a meeting with his new son-in-law. "I love my daughter, and now I welcome you into the family," said the man. "To show you how much we care for you, I'm making you a 50-50 partner in my business. All you have to do is go to the factory every day and learn the operations." The son-in-law interrupted. "I hate factories. I can't stand the noise." "I see," replied the father-in-law. "Well then you'll work in the office and take charge of some of the operations." "I hate office work," said the son-on-law. "I can't stand being stuck behind a desk all day." "Wait a minute," said the father-in-law. "I just made you a half-owner of a profitable corporation, but you don't like factories and won't work in a office. What am I going to do with you?" "Easy," said the young man. "Buy me out!!!" _____________________________________________ As an airplane is about to crash, a female passenger jumps up frantically and announces, "If I'm going to die, I want to die feeling like a woman." She removes all her clothing and asks, "Is there someone on this plane who is man enough to make me feel like a woman?" An Aussie stands up, removes his shirt and says, "Here, iron this!". ____________________________________________ A man is laying on the operating table, about to be operated on by his son Morris, the surgeon. The father says, "Son, think of it this way ... If anything happens to me, your mother is coming to live with you."
