After finishing their meal, the man left his hat on the bench, but didn't miss it until they were back on the freeway. By then, they had to travel quite a distance before they could find a place to turn around. The woman fussed and complained all the way back to the restaurant, that they would be late getting to their destination, etc. She called her husband every bad name she could think of. When they finally arrived at the restaurant, as the man got out of the car to retrieve his hat, the woman yelled to him, "While you're in there, you might as well get my purse, too." __________________________________________________ David and an Italian and an Irishman, all first time fathers, are pacing nervously in a maternity ward waiting room when a nurse rushes out of the delivery room holding up a newborn black baby. "Yours?" she asked the Italian man, who immediately curses her out in Italian and says "No! notta my kid!" "Yours?" The nurse asks the Irishman, who answers "It blodie will betta not be!" "OK, then it must be yours", she informs David, who sheepishly looks at the ground and mumbles "It must be, my wife burns everything! __________________________________________________ An International Bonehead Award has been earned by  Torrey Moore, 31, Silver Spring, Maryland, USA  Suspect arrested in fatal Shell gas station shooting had dead body in his home  Montgomery County police say they found a decomposing body after making an arrest in the fatal shooting at a Shell gas station in Silver Spring. 31-year-old Torrey Moore of Silver Spring was arrested and charged with a homicide that occurred around 3 p.m. Thursday at the gas station in the 11100 block of New Hampshire Avenue.

His teacher knew that he was usually very prompt and asked him if anything was wrong. The boy replied no, nothing was wrong, that he was going fishing but his dad told him that he needed to go to church. The teacher was very impressed and asked the boy if his dad had explained to him why it was more important to go to church than to go fishing. The boy replied: "Yes he did. Dad said he didn't have enough bait for both of us." ___________________________________________________ If you can spare a coin, PLEASE hit PayPal with it! ___________________________________________________ A surgeon came to see his patient on the morning after her operation. The young woman asked him, somewhat hesitantly, how long it would be before she could resume her sex life. "I really haven't thought about it," gulped the stunned surgeon. "You're the first patient who's asked me that question after cosmetic surgery on the nose!" ___________________________________________________   _________________________________________________ During their silver anniversary, a wife reminded her husband, "Do you remember when you proposed to me, I was so overwhelmed that I didn't talk for an hour?" The hubby replied, "Yes, honey, that was the happiest hour of my life." _______________________________________________ I was just visiting some friends who have a farm. I was watching this one rooster chasing after this hen, when the friend's wife came out to feed them. The rooster stopped chasing the hen at once and ran over to begin eating. I just stood there thinking to myself, "I hope I never get THAT hungry." __________________________________________________ If you can spare a coin, PLEASE hit PayPal with it! ___________________________________________________ Poor Ole was having trouble getting his neighbor to keep his chickens fenced in. The neighbor kept telling him the chickens had the right to go where they wanted. But the birds were ruining Ole's prize-winning flowerbeds. Two weeks later, a friend visited Ole and noticed his flowerbeds were doing great. The flowers were even beginning to bloom! The friend asked, "How did you make your neighbor keep his hens in his own yard?" Ole replied, "Easy! One night I hid a dozen eggs under a bush by my flower bed, and the next day I let my neighbor see me gather them. I haven't been bothered since." ________________________________________________________ DearWebby's Tech Support Pits  From: Elvira Re: Open Office or MS Office Dear Webby My daughter has a new teacher, who is a MS Office fanatic and claims she has to learn MS Office because, according to her, industry and commerce use MS Office. She threatened to fail my daughter, if she catches her without an MS Office registration. Elvira  Dear Elvira Her teacher lied. Imagine a company with 15000 or more employees. Are they going to pay a ridiculous amount to do exactly the same amount of work? Not bloody likely. Obviously the teacher got a financial incentive, and does not give a Pelosi about the kids. The work produced is exactly the same. The only difference is the incentive given to the teacher. Using the programs is similar enough that if she goes to work at one of the few places that still use MS Office, she can fake it and adapt in an hour. You may have to talk to the superintendedent or some bigshot, and find out if the bribe was paid to the school or to the teacher, and raise a fuss. Have FUN DearWebby _____________________________________________________ Bob went to a psychiatrist. "Doc," he said, "I've got trouble. Every time I get into bed, I think there's somebody under it. I get under the bed, I think there's somebody on top of it. Top, under, top, under ... you gotta help me, I'm going crazy!" "Just put yourself in my hands for two years," said the shrink. "Come to me three times a week, and I'll cure your fears." "How much do you charge?" "A hundred dollars per visit." "I'll sleep on it," said Bob. Six months later the doctor met Bob on the street. "Why didn't you ever come to see me again?" asked the psychiatrist. "For a hundred buck's a visit? Three times a week for two years ? I may be crazy but I am not stupid. A bartender cured me for ten dollars." "Is that so! And just how, if I may ask?" "He told me to cut the legs off the bed!" ____________________________________________________ Today, December 13 in 1577, Five ships under the command of Sir Francis Drake left Plymouth, England, to embark on Drake's circumnavigation of the globe.
