On Saturday night she returned home very late from a party. The next morning her father went out to the driveway to get the newspaper and came back into the house frowning. At 11:30am the girl sleepily walked into the kitchen, and her father asked her, "Sweetheart, what time did you get in last night?" "Not too late, Dad." she replied nervously. Dead-panned, her father said, "Then, my precious one, I'll have to talk with the paperboy about lifting the car and putting my paper under the front tire of the car." _____________________________________________________   ______________________________________________________ A father from Eastern Europe is visiting his son in America for the very first time.

 _____________________________________________________ Way down upon the Mississippi, two tugboat captains who had been friends for years, would always scream "Aye!" and furiously blow their whistles whenever they passed each other. A new crewman asked his boat's mate, "What do they do that for?" The Cajun mate looked surprised and replied, "You dumbo, ya say you neva heard of... 'an aye for an aye and a toot for a toot'?" _____________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  Sergio Jose Martinez, 31, Portland, Oregon  20 times deported Mexican convicted of kidnapping and sexually abusing two Oregon women grins in court, gets 35 this time.  He has sexually assaulted a women in her home and attacked another in a parking lot. Both were on the same July day, a week after he was released from jail. Martinez pleaded guilty to 10 counts including sodomy and sexual assault Martinez smiled throughout the trial, and as he left, he gave one grim parting shot to his two victims' relatives: 'See all you guys in Hell.' The first attack occurred early on the morning of July 24, when Martinez entered the Northeast Portland home of a 65-year-old woman through a window she had left open to cool the house. Wielding a metal rod, Martinez told the woman to get down on the ground, where he bound and blindfolded her, threatened to murder her, and then sexually assaulted her, KGW reported. He stole the woman's purse and car; she called the police from a neighbor's home, and they located the vehicle and put it under surveillance. While they kept an eye on the car, however, Martinez was stalking his second victim in a parking garage on the corner of Northeast 21st Avenue and Northeast Halsey Street. He approached her carrying a knife and made her get into her car; as he got in after her she attempted to escape, but he was able to grab her and start slamming her head into the ground. The woman called out for help and as passersby approached, Martinez attempted to steal her car, then fled on foot when it failed to start. Police caught him minutes later. Two relatives of one of the victims, and one of the victims herself, spoke during the sentencing phase Friday, in which Martinez often grinned. A brother of one victim told Martinez: 'Sergio, no sentencing is enough. I rather you rot in Hell.' Martinez had been freed from jail in Portland a week before the attacks; he was in there for interfering with police and providing a false birth date. He was released despite a request from US Immigration and Customs Enforcement for the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office to hold him so the agency could take him into custody. It seems that Martiez expected the Oregon Sanctuary State Liberals to bail him out again, however this time he will have to enjoy a few years of free room and board first.  _________________________________  Tech Support Pits From: Rhonda Re: Locate De-Sorted pictures Dear Webby, Thanks for the flexible and washable keyboard! I had seen it once at a daycare center, but they did not know where they had gotten it from many years ago. My not too bright hubby moved around all of my pictures while I was away on a course. Instead of in twelve neat category sub-folders in one folder, they are now all over the computer, and most I can't even find! He says, at the time his system made more sense to him, but even he can't find most of them. HELP! How do I get them back? Rhonda  Dear Rhonda If you dont have EVERYTHING Search, add another category folder and call it "Unsorted". Click on START, Search, and search for *.jpg, *.gif, *.psp and whatever other type of picture you have. When the search is completed, open a Windows File Explorer and line up your categories folder. Then, back in the Search window, click on one file, hit CTRL A to highlight all, then hold down SHIFT and drag the files to the new "Unsorted" folder. Close Search and any program that does not absolutely have to be running. Now, in the file explorer window, look for the VIEWS icon on top. It's the one with six dots in it and a pull- down arrow beside it. Pull that down and select "Thumbnails". Windows will start making a thumbnail for each picture. If you have thousands of pictures, this will take some time. Best is to not touch anything while it is doing this. Just let it run until that task is completed. Once that is done, click on the folders icon, so that you see the other category folders in the left sidebar. Like most file handling operations, this works best in Classic View mode. You can select that in Tools, Folder Options in the File Explorer top menu. Now you have the thumbnails on the right, and your twelve category folders on the left, and you simply drag each picture into the correct category. This obviously is going to take some time. It will work best if your hubby in the meantime cleans up the kitchen and cooks meals, while you repair the damage. Have FUN! DearWebby    Automatically move ALL your settings and programs.

 During a dinner party, the hosts' two little children entered the dining room totally nude and walked slowly around the table. The parents were so embarrassed that they pretended nothing was happening and kept the conversation going. The guests cooperated and also continued as if nothing extraordinary was happening. There was a moment of silence at the table, during which the little girl was heard to say to her brother, "You see, it *IS* vanishing cream! They dont see us!"

 Thanks to Gina for this story: Upset over a newlywed squabble with my husband, I went to my mother to complain. Trying to console me, my dad said that men are not all like this all the time. "Nonsense," I said. "Men are good for only one thing!" "Yes," my mother interjected, "but how often do you have to parallel park?" ____________________________________________________  Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com Food Fixes - Ripe Fruit?

DearWebby  ____________________________________________________  Thanks to Martin for this classic: Two beggars are sitting side by side on a street in Rome. One has a cross in front of him; the other one, the Star of David. Many people go by and look at both beggars, but only put money into the hat of the beggar sitting behind the cross. A priest comes by, stops and watches throngs of people giving money to the beggar behind the cross, but none give to the beggar behind the Star of David. Finally, the priest goes over to the beggar behind the Star of David and says, "My poor fellow, don't you understand? This is a Catholic country; this city is the seat of Catholicism. People aren't going to give you money if you sit there with a Star of David in front of you, especially when you're sitting beside a beggar who has a cross. In fact, they would probably give to him just out of spite," The beggar behind the Star of David listened to the priest, turned to the other beggar with the cross and said: "Moishe, look who's trying to teach the Goldstein brothers about marketing."
