_____________________________________________________ I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use. --- Galileo Galilei (1564 - 1642) _____________________________________________________ Last summer, down on Lake Isabella, located in the high desert, an hour east of Bakersfield, California, some folks, new to boating, were having a problem. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't get their brand new 22 ft. boat going. It was very sluggish in almost every maneuver, no matter how much power was applied. After about an hour of trying to make it go, they putted to a nearby marina, thinking someone there could tell them what was wrong. A thorough topside check revealed everything in perfect working condition. The engine ran fine, the out drive went up and down, and the prop was the correct size and pitch. So, one of the marina guys jumped in the water to check underneath. He came up choking on water, he was laughing so hard. NOW REMEMBER...THIS IS TRUE Under the boat, still strapped securely in place, was the boat trailer! __________________________________________ Kawaguchiko Lake and Mt Fuji in Japan __________________________________________ >From Connie Sid and Al were sitting in a Mexican restaurant. "Sid," asked Al, "Are there any Jews in Mexico?" ...snip... "We have orange Jews, prune Jews, tomato Jews and grape Jews, but no one ever hear of Mexican Jews!" ___________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by Sharon Turpin, 58, Tampa, Floriduh Woman Nabbed For Spitting On Grocery Items A Florida Woman was arrested Saturday for spitting on groceries during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to police who say the suspect also threatened to beat up customers at a Publix supermarket. Investigators say that Sharon Turpin, 58, caused a disturbance inside and outside the store in a suburban Tampa mall. Pictured at right, Turpin had previously been trespassed from the Largo Mall in 2014. Turpin, cops say, was spotted Saturday spitting on merchandise at Publix, where she also threatened to beat up customers in a store bathroom and argued with a manager. When police subsequently located Turpin outside Publix, she allegedly provided them with a false name and date of birth. She was subsequently identified and booked into jail on a pair of misdemeanor charges. Turpin is locked up in lieu of $400 bond. Arrest affidavits do not indicate how much damage Turpin caused during her spitting spree at Publix (seen below). Turpins rap sheet includes convictions for battery; theft; reckless driving; marijuana possession; trespass; and battery on a corrections officer. DeaWebby's Tech Support Pits From: Janice Re: Give RemoveIt access? Dear Webby, On the shouldiremoveit website, do I need to permit it access? Like when other websites send an update. If so I will need the code to permit it. (It took a while to figure out I had to go into the gizzards of the beast to allow access for some updates.) Also is it automatic or do I have to run it occasionally? If so I will need to know that access code too. Janice Dear Janice Yes, you have to allow it to make changes to your system. That is what you want it to do. Get rid of no longer needed stuff. It not only deletes files, but takes the program location out of the Registry. The registry is protected against accidental editing or deleting, so it asks you if you want to allow changes. Don't worry about it. "Should I Remove It" is a clean and respectable program, used by Millions of people, and I have never seen anything bad about them. After it removes whatever you tell it to remove, it shuts itself down and goes away. If you re-install a program, that you had told it to remove, it ignores that and assumes you just wanted to flush an old or corrupt version and now are installing a new or better version. It won't block you from doing that. Have FUN! DearWebby

Usually that's not a problem. Unless, of course, they're trying to convince some guy they're "not that kind of girl." See, by the time they're halfway finished -- they are. _____________________________________________ A guy came home to his wife and said "Guess what? I've found a great job. A 10 a.m. start, 2 p.m. finish, no overtime, no weekends and it pays $600 a week!" "That's great," his wife said. "Yeah, I thought so too," he agreed. "You start Monday." _____________________________________________ A doctor in New York recently made a serious incorrect diagnosis.
