Carburn Park Marina de Mendona, Calgary ___________________________________________________ While waiting in line at the bank, a co-worker developed a very loud case of hiccups. By the time he reached the teller's window, the hiccups seemed to have worsened. The teller took my friend's check and proceeded to run a computer verification of his account. After a minute she looked up from her terminal with a frown and said that she would be unable to cash his check. "Why not?" my friend asked incredulously. "I'm sorry, sir," she replied, "but our computer indicates that you do not have sufficient funds to cover this amount. As a matter of fact," she continued, "our records show your account overdrawn in excess of $5000." "It can't be!" he cried. "You have to be kidding!" "Yes, I am," she answered with a smile, counting out his cash. "But you will notice that your hiccups are gone." ----------- At my bank, RBC, my favorite teller undid two buttons and leaned forward for a few seconds. Hiccups was GONE in 2 seconds. She smiled and buttoned up. I thanked her for the medicine. _________________________________________________ Reported by Lee An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by Ronald Rosen, Bend, Oregon, USA Oregon man sues, alleging he went to doctor for distress over marital woes, only to find the physician was having an affair with his wife A Bend man was experiencing depression as a result of his failing marriage so he went to his family physician, who counseled him on ways to improve his marriage and prescribed him marijuana and CBD. The patient now claims in a lawsuit that all along, the doctor, Ronald Rosen, was having an affair with his wife. In a complaint filed Monday in Deschutes County Circuit Court, local musician and financial adviser Peirson Tone seeks $2.9 million from Rosen for professional negligence. As a result of (Rosens) conduct, plaintiff sustained emotional distress including the loss of his marriage and emotional and social destruction of his family, the lawsuit states. From 2015 to 2018, Tone, his wife and two children received medical care at Rosens clinic, Open Paths Integrative Medicine, according to the suit. At some point, the suit says, Rosen began a relationship with Tones wife. In November 2018, Tone went to Rosen to treat his depression, which was caused by stress in his relationship, the lawsuit states. Rosen counseled Tone and offered him solutions to enhance and heal his marriage, and prescribed him herbs and breathing techniques for his depression, in addition to marijuana and CBD. After the visit, Tone learned Rosen had been involved with his wife for an extended period of time, the complaint states. The couple later divorced. Rosen has been licensed to practice medicine in Oregon since 1991, according to the Oregon Medical Board. He has no prior cases of medical malpractice. DearWebby's Tech Support Pits From: Justine RE: Lost cursor Dear Webby, Every now and then, when I am busy elsewhere, like getting or making coffee, by cursor goes AWOL, and I have to reboot to get it back. That is a major nuisance! How do I fix that? I got W10, unfortunately. Justine Dear Justine That seems to be a popular problem with W10 and most experts seem to think it is due to the pissing contest going on between Microsoft and Logitech. Nobody has real solutions, that actually work. I would recommend that you set your mouse to show target rings, when you hit the CTRL key. Next time your mouse goes AWOL, lift it up, wipe your finger across the laser light, put it back down and keep hitting the CTRL key. After about a dozen hits, you will see the target rings somewhere, and can use the mouse again. That trick is not a fix. It will do it again when you least expect it, but it will let you continue working without rebooting and losing unsaved stuff. It is also a good idea to set each program in Open Office and in Microsoft Office to automatically save every 2 minutes. Have FUN!

_____________________________________________ Since I was the first to arrive at our high-tech company one morning, I answered the telephone. When the caller asked for field engineering, I explained that it was before normal business hours, but that I would help if I could. "What's your job there?" the caller asked me. "I'm the president," I replied. There was a pause. Then he said, "I'll call back later. I need to talk to someone who knows something." ____________________________________________ A man, who smelled like a distillery, flopped down on a subway seat next to a priest. The man's tie was stained, his face was plastered with red lipstick, and a half-empty bottle of gin was sticking out of his torn coat pocket. He opened his newspaper and began reading. After a few minutes the disheveled man turned to the priest and said, "Say, Father, what causes arthritis?" "Mister, it's caused by loose living, being with cheap wicked women, too much alcohol, and a contempt for your fellow man." "Well, I'll be damned," the drunk muttered, returning to his paper. The priest, thinking about what he had said, nudged the man and apologized. "I'm very sorry, I didn't mean to come on so strong. How long have you had arthritis?" "I don't have it, Father. I was just reading that the Pope does." ____________________________________________ An award should go to the United Airlines gate agent in Denver for being smart and funny, and making her point, when confronted with a passenger who probably deserved to fly as cargo. A crowded United flight was canceled. A single agent was rebooking a long line of inconvenienced travelers. Suddenly an angry passenger pushed his way to the desk. He slapped his ticket down on the counter and said, "I HAVE to be on this flight and it has to be FIRST CLASS." The agent replied, "I'm sorry sir. I'll be happy to try to help you, but I've got to help these folks first, and I'm sure we'll be able to work something out." The passenger was unimpressed. He asked loudly, so that the passengers behind him could hear, "Do you have any idea who I am?" Without hesitating, the gate agent smiled and grabbed her public address microphone. "May I have your attention please?" she began, her voice bellowing throughout the terminal. "We have a passenger here at the gate WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHO HE IS. If anyone can help him find his identity, please come to the gate." With the folks behind him in line laughing hysterically, the man glared at the United agent, gritted his teeth and swore, "F___ you!" Without flinching, she smiled and said, "I'm sorry, sir, but you'll have to stand in line for that, too." ________________________________ | Ophelia Dingbatter's NewsNo sermon and not suitable for church, just jokes and fun for grownups.
