The guy liked the young lady, but was taken a bit aback by her fast and ardent pitch. He was amazed when after 30 minutes she seriously proposed marriage. "Look," he said. "We only met a half hour ago. How can you be so sure? We know nothing about each other." "You're wrong," she smiled. "For the past 5 years I've been working in the back of the bank where you have your account. I know all I need to know about you." ____________________________________________________ Being able to turn your grandchildren into spoiled brats is God's reward for not killing your children. ____________________________________________________   Bernard Food Industries ____________________________________________________ A first-grade girl came home from school. She was very happy, and her Mom noticed this. Mom asked, "What makes you so happy today?" The girl said, "Mom, we learned how to make babies in school today!" Thinking that first grade was a bit early for that, she asked her daughter to tell her how. "It's easy, Mom -- you just drop the 'y', and add 'i-e-s', " the daughter said. ____________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  Jamel Muldrew, 32, Houston, Texas, USA  Man arrested in Tampa for multi-state sex-trafficking of a minor  A Texas man was arrested in Tampa for allegedly trafficking a minor across six states over the course of two months.

Investigators say Muldrew dropped the victim off at the hotel and then drove to a nearby mall parking lot to wait. Detectives were waiting for the minor victim at the hotel and took her to safety. Muldrew was arrested. Investigators say he was in possession of multiple fake IDs for himself and the victim. 
 DearWebby's Tech Support Pits  From:Ariane Re: MailWasher  Dear Webby You keep mentioning MailWasher, as if we knew what it is. Can you please tell me, in small words, what it is all about? Thanks Ariane  Dear Ariane I subscribed to MailWasher in the 90s, when it was new and free, and when a $20 voluntary donation got me a lifetime subscription. To make a long story short, I tried it and befor my coffee cooled off, I fired $20 off to Nick in New Zealand. That $20 was a grub-stake to get the company rolling. MailWasher looks at your email on the server, BEFORE you drag it down to your machine. Anything it deems to be spam, it dumps into a recycle bin. Then you just download whatever mail it judges as OK. It is pretty good at detecting spam, plus you can make filters. Most spam you normally just dump, but you can filter mail from your Mother-In-Law to bounce, and make it look like she got the wrong address. The filters are truly awesome. You just play star wars with them. They are a strategy game rigged in your favor. Initially the options in the filters might be baffling. Just send an email to Nick or Jeremy, and they will quickly respond and show you the easy way, without being snotty like tech supporters at the big companies. That is why I HIGHLY recommend MailWasher, even though the mid- 90s $20 lifetime deal is no longer available. Still a fantastic deal, that saves a LOT of time. I have it on every machine. Have FUN!

 Two golden-agers were discussing their husbands over lunch. "I do wish that my John would stop biting his nails. He makes me terribly nervous." My Fred used to do the same thing," the other woman replied. "But I broke him of the habit." "Really, how?" asked the first woman. "Easy, I hid his teeth."
