I figured it had something to do with the computer, so I tried to find the sex drive on mine. I looked everywhere, in all the folders on My Computer, the Add/Uninstall software, install hardware part of the control panel, then I got out all the manuals and went through them. I finally came to the conclusion that my computer is not equipped with one. So I decided to go to the computer store to see if I could buy one. Well, the salesperson in the first store was a rather stern looking woman. I gave her the make and model of my computer and asked her if she had any sex drives in stock. She kinda scowled at me and asked if I was trying to get smart with her. Then she said, rather rudely I thought, that she could not help me and walked away. Huh, must not have had any in stock. In the second store, the salesguy kind of sniggered and asked if I meant a hard drive. I thought about it for a minute and told him, 'Yeah, maybe that, but I think I already have one installed'. He started laughing and said something about me killing him. 'You're killing me' -- like that, and walked away. Hmmm, must be out of stock here, too. The guy in the third store laughed and asked me if I'd fallen off the turnip truck. I assured him I'd never been on a turnip truck but I had fallen off the wagon a few times. He said that explains it and walked away laughing. The guy in the fourth store said something like 'idiot' under his breath and walked away. Anyway, I figured they must not carry them in stores, maybe I have to order from a catalogue or something. That's where I am now. So, if any of you have some computer skills and could help me locate my sex drive, I would appreciate it.

I carefully removed his glasses. "You know, honey," I said sweetly, "Without your glasses, you look like the same handsome young man I married." "Honey," he replied with a grin, "Without my glasses, you still look pretty good too!" ______________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________ If you like the Humor Letter, please vote!

Keego Harbor, Michigan 2 women arrested after stealing during 'Shop with a Cop' event Police have arrested two women accused of stealing from a Michigan department store with officers just feet away. Keego Harbor Police said officers from four different departments were participating in a Shop with a Cop event at a Target, where they took 22 disadvantaged people Christmas shopping. However, while they were shopping, officers said, they were notified that two women were accused of trying to steal $1,900 in electronics. The loss prevention (officers) actually apprehended them, then they asked for police assistance, Sylvan Lake Police Sgt. Michael Mondeau told the Detroit Free Press. The police officers were only about 20 feet away when they tried to walk out of the store. Officers arrested the two women, identified as 40-year-old Keiana Wilson and 18-year-old Dana Johnson. The two women appeared in court and bond was set at $250,000 for Johnson and $20,000 for Wilson From: Ron Re: Libre Office Compatibility Dear DearWebby, Does Libre/Open Office work with Word o.k., opening attachments, and documents? Thank you for suggesting it. Ron Dear William Dear Ron yes, sure! It goes even further than WORD. You can make PDF files without having to shell out big bucks for Adobe. You can even pick up an MS-WORD doc, open it with OpenOffice and save it as a PDF file. Not everybody is stuck in the MS-Mud ! With more and more companies upgrading from MS-Office to Open Office or Star Office (Open office + Support package provided by SUN), the schools are again at the same spot where they were a dozen years ago, when they finally realized that very few of the students would encounter a school type Mac computer in real life after school. For industry and commerce the future is quite clear. Are you going to pay $500 + per seat for MS-Office, or get 15% MORE horsepower from Libre/Open Office for free ? For a 1000 employee company, that is a half Million Dollar question with a very predictable answer. Just like MS-Office has it's quirks and peculiarities, so does Open office. The switch is not quite "Same stuff, different color", but requires about the same amount of learning and adjusting as a version upgrade while staying with the same program. That is definitely no deterrent to switching. Have FUN! DearWebby Automatically move ALL your settings and programs. No need to re-install them. The only mover recommended by Intel and Microsoft. A wild-eyed man dressed like Napoleon with his right hand inside his coat entered the psychiatrist's office and nervously exclaimed, "Doctor, I need your help right away." "I can see that. Lie down on the couch and tell me about your problem." "I don't have a problem. In fact, as Emperor of France, I have everything I could possibly want. Money, women, power, everything! But I'm afraid my wife, Josephine, is in deep mental trouble." "I see," said the doctor. "And what seems to be her problem?" "For some strange reason, she thinks she's Mrs. Schwartz."

One morning, a particularly brash trainee had the gall to run his hand across the older man's gleaming head while loudly exclaiming: "Feels just like my wife's butt." With a look of genuine curiosity, the aging executive rubbed his hand across his head. "You're right," he said, "it does!" ___________________________________________________ You've got to know about Skoal to appreciate this one.

She wanted to taste some real Western Bar-B-Que, take in a bona fide rodeo, and have sex with a real cowboy. Upon her return, her sorority sisters were curious as to how she fared. "Let me tell you, they have a tree down there called a Mesquite and when they slow cook that brisket over that Mesquite, it's oh so good. The taste is unbelievable! And, I went to a real rodeo...Talk about athletes! Those guys wrestle full grown bulls! They ride horses at a full gallup then jump off the horses and grab the bulls by the horns and throw them to the ground! It is just incredible!" They then asked, "Well, come on, tell us, did you have sex with a real cowboy? "Are you kidding? Once I saw the outline of the condom they carry in the back pocket of their jeans, I changed my mind!" ___________________________________________________ Ophelia Dingbatter's NewsNo sermon and not suitable for church, just jokes and fun for grownups.

After chatting them up awhile, the conversation turned to what we did in the service. When we told them we were in the infantry, the girls seemed very impressed, giving us big smiles as they told us how sweet that was. Since infantry and sweet are seldom used in the same sen- tence, I was a little confused. Until, that is, one of the girls said, "We admire any man who works with infants." ___________________________________________________ Today January 15 in 1559 England's Queen Elizabeth I (Elizabeth Tudor) was crowned in Westminster Abbey. 1624 Many riots occurred in Mexico when it was announced that all churches were to be closed. 1777 The people of New Connecticut (now the state of Vermont) declared their independence. 1863 "The Boston Morning Journal" became the first paper in the U.S. to be published on wood pulp paper. 1870 A cartoon by Thomas Nast titled "A Live Jackass Kicking a Dead Lion" appeared in "Harper's Weekly."
