Great memories! __________________________________________________ Walking up to a department store's fabric counter, a attractive young woman asked, "I want to buy this material for a new dress. How much does it cost?" "Only one kiss per yard, " replied the smirking male clerk." That's fine," replied the woman. "I'll take ten yards." With expectation and anticipation written all over his face, the clerk hurriedly measured out and wrapped the cloth, then held it out teasingly. The girl snapped up the package and pointed to a little old woman standing beside her. "Grandma will pay the bill," she smiled. __________________________________________________ Reported by Rock An International Bonehead Award has been earned by Donasti Davonsiea, 37, Tucson, Arizona, USA Tucson realtor was attacked. Escaped abduction.

"Officers learned that the adult female victim, a realtor, was showing a house to a prospective buyer.

The farmer says, "For tax purposes, or has he been hit by a train?" ____________________________________________________ A boy had reached four without giving up the habit of sucking his thumb, though his mother had tried everything from bribery to reasoning to painting it with lemon juice to discourage the habit. Finally she tried threats, warning her son that, "If you don't stop sucking your thumb, your stomach is going to blow up like a balloon." Later that day, walking in the park, mother and son saw a pregnant woman sitting on a bench. The four-year-old considered her gravely for a minute, then spoke to her saying, "Uh-oh ... I know what "you've" been doing." __________________________________________________ If you can spare a coin, PLEASE hit PayPal with it! _____________________________________________________ DearWebby's Tech Support Pits FROM: Tanya RE: Need easy folder for pix Dear Webby I need an easy folder for my pictures, that does not require a bunch of jogging down through half the computer.

Have FUN DearWebby _____________________________________________________ A quarrel broke out between a man and a woman while traveling for dinner at a restaurant. They quarreled almost all the way and just before they arrived, the wife said to the husband: "You are very lucky to have me, no other normal woman will want you!". The frustrated husband decided to prove to his wife that she was wrong and to find a women who would be interested in him already during dinner. The hostess who led them to the table smiled at the husband endlessly, laughed at his jokes and even offered to take his coat, so of course as soon as she left he turned to his wife with a triumphant look on his face. "Don't get too excited, it's just her job and she's married too." "How do you know?" "Because I saw a ring on her finger." A short time later the husband had to go to the bathroom, and on his way back he collided with the chair of a woman sitting alone at a nearby table. He apologized, ordered her a drink at his expense, talked to her for a few moments and sat down with his wife again. "Just so you know, she invited me to sit down for a drink with her!" "Don't get too excited, she's probably half blind." "How do you know?" "Because I saw her enter the restaurant with a walking stick." After a few minutes a waitress went to the table and as she took the order from the couple it was obvious that she was staring at her husband and flirting with him. "Here! You see?!" He said to his wife after the waitress left, "There are normal women who want me!" "Don't be an idiot, she has covid." "How do you know?" "Because if she's interested in you then she has no sense of taste!" ____________________________________________________ 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."
