 _____________________________________________________ At the age of eleven or thereabouts women acquire a poise and an ability to handle difficult situations which a man, if he is lucky, manages to achieve somewhere in the later seventies. --- P. G. Wodehouse (1881 - 1975) _____________________________________________________ A philosophy professor, widely noted as being more than casually eccentric, gave a one question final exam after an entire semester dealing with a broad array of topics. The class was seated and ready, when the professor picked up his chair, plopped it on his desk and wrote on the board: "Using everything we have learned this semester, prove that this chair does not exist." Fingers flew, erasers erased, notebooks were filled in furious fashion. Some students wrote over 30 pages in one hour attempting to refute the existence of the chair. One student, however, was up and finished in less than a minute. Weeks later when the grades were posted, the rest of the group wondered how this person could have received the highest grade when he had barely written anything. They found his answer consisted of two words: "What chair?" __________________________________________   Scratching her back You might have to click through the picure to see the full size. __________________________________________ Please note that a 3-year-old teacher is needed for pre- school.

 Wichita man accused of shooting at cops charged with 22 counts 
 Wichita man made his first appearance in court Tuesday afternoon after he was arrested for allegedly shooting at officers during an unlawful assembly last week. Henry Parker, 28, was charged with two counts of aggravated battery of a law enforcement officer. 19 counts of aggravated assault of a law officer and one count of criminal possession of a weapon by a convicted felon. In a news release last week Officer Charley Davidson said "the arrest stems from the investigation of an unlawful assembly that occurred at 21st and Arkansas on Monday (June 1) where Parker fired multiple shots at responding officers, and one officers helmet was struck by bullet pieces that had ricocheted near the officers." Video of the shooting was posted to social media.  DeaWebby's Tech Support Pits  From: Moe Re: Combo Keys shortcuts   Dear Webby, How about a recap of the hidden keys, the combo keys? Moe  Dear Moe Most important combo is CTRL F4 If a site is a nuisance or attacks you, hit CTRL F4 and that tab closes. Some scammers block that combo, in that case hit ALT F4. That shuts down the browser. Go get ssome coffee. By the time you are back, you can usually restart the browser and restore the tabs. Close the tab that had led you into trouble. That brings me to the next combo: CTRL W Once you have identified the tab that led you into trouble, DON'T CLICK IT! Just highlight it and hit CTRL W and it has gone to hell. Also very important is CTRL SHIFT T If your spouse wants you to come to bed NOW and shuts down your browser, and you open it again later, it should ask you if you want to restore your previously open 57 tabs. Well, sometimes it opens multiple browser windows and you close too many of them without clicking RESTORE. Don't worry. They have not gone to hell. Just hit CTRL SHIFT T, twice if necessary, and sit back. It will restore all your tabs. You can also use CTRL SHIFT T to re-open a just closed tab. To get to the URL line, CTRL L To see the history and find that forgotten URL: CTRL H To Refresh a page: Ctrl R In Facebook, the J and the K keys scroll you down or up a page. If the spouse or boss is approaching, hitting the space bar "accidentally" instantly scrolls you down a page. Once the coast is clear, hit SHIFT and Spacebar to jump back up. Bookmark a page: CTRL D I haave no idea why they chose D for that, but that goes back to the good old days of Netscape. Another mystery key is CTRL K. It jumps to the search box If you want to go to the first tab: CTRL 1 Second tab: CTRL 2, and so on. Zoom in without mousing: CTRL +. Zoom OUT: CTRL - add .com to a URL: CTRL ENTER That goes back to the days when .com was the only choice. OK, that is enough for now. Have FUN! DearWebby

 15 Unbelievable Places that Actually Exist 
 _____________________________________________ 
 A Yankee and a Scot were walking one day near the foot of one of the Scotish mountains. The Scot, wishing to impress the visitor, produced a famous echo to be heard in that place. When the echo returned clearly after nearly four minutes, the proud Scotsman, turning to the Yankee, exclaimed: "There, mon, ye canna show anything like that in your country!" "Oh I don't know," said the American, "I guess we can better that. Why, in my camp in the Rockies, when I go to bed I just lean out the window and call out, 'Time to get up; wake up!' and eight hours later the echo comes back and wakes me." _____________________________________________ 1. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night. 2. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be "meetings." 3. There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness." 4. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them. 5. And when God, who created the entire universe with all of its glories, decides to deliver a message to humanity, He WILL NOT use, as His messenger, a person on cable TV with a bad hairstyle. 6. You should not confuse your career with your life. 7. No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously. 8. When trouble arises and things look bad, there is always one individual who perceives a solution and is willing to take command. Very often, that individual is crazy. 9. Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance. 10. Never lick a steak knife. 11. Take out the fortune before you eat the cookie. 12. The most destructive force in the universe is gossip. 13. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time. 14. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she's pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment. 15. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday. That time is age eleven. 16. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above average drivers. 17. The main accomplishment of almost all organized protests is to annoy people who are not in them. 18. A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person. (This is very important. Pay attention. It never fails.) 19. Your friends love you anyway. _____________________________________________ A postman calls on a regular customer and is surprised to find hanging in her lounge a large white sheet with a hole in the middle of it. "What's that in aid of?" he inquired. "Well," the housewife blushed, "we had a big party here last night and after midnight things got a bit silly. In this game", she said, taking the sheet down, "a man would put his equipment through the hole, then the women came in and tried to identify the owner of the equipment. It was a scream!" "I'll bet it was," remarked the mailman, "wish I'd been there." "You should have been," she said, "your name came up three times." ____________________________________________ An elderly Jewish man is sitting on a park bench reading Louis Farrakhan's newspaper. His best friend walks by, sees the paper, and stops in shock. "What are you doing reading that paper?" he says. "You should be reading the Jewish Journal!" The elderly man replies, "The Jewish Journal has stories about anti-Semitism, problems in Israel and all kinds of troubles of the Jewish people. I like to read about good news. Farrakhan's paper says the Jews have all the money. The Jews control the banks. The Jews control the press. The Jews control Hollywood. It's all good news!"
