Good Morning, Do, Today is Sunday, November 5 Full moon on the fresh, bright, powder snow makes it almost daylight bright outside. Stars are bright too and you can definitely see the Mily Way. Faint Northern Lights in the North-East. But it is not comfortable outside. Gullible Warming is definitekly over. There is a definite hint of "Ice Age is coming!" mania in the air. The deer came by checking for bread heels and leftovers, but did not come up onto the porch. They will when it gets windy. Have Fun! Dearwebby Todays Bonehead Award: Chicago hot dog stand robber shoots his wiener, ahem penis.  Bonehead ______________________________________________________ Today, November 5 in 1895 George B. Selden received the first U.S. patent for an automobile. He sold the rights for $200,000 four years later. Cars had been around before, but not patented in the USA. Benz Motorcar from 1885 is considered the first practical motorcar. He received a patent for the Motorcar on 29 January 1886, 9 years prior to the Seldon patent. His wife, Mercedes, drove the Benz Motorcar and her kids 60 miles to her parents place 10 years before the Seldon patent. See More of what happened on this day in history.

So he went to the finest tailor in town and got measured for a suit. A week later he went in for his first fitting. He put on the suit and he looked stunning, he felt that in this suit he can do business. As he was preening himself in front of the mirror he reached down to put his hands in the pockets and to his surprise he noticed that there were no pockets. He mentioned this to the tailor who asked him, "Didn't you tell me you were a banker?" The young man answered, "Yes, I did." To this the tailor said, "Who ever heard of a banker with his hands in his own pockets?" _____________________________________________________   ______________________________________________________ Bank robbers had tied and gagged the bank cashier after learning the combination to the safe and had herded the other employees into a separate room under guard. After they rifled the safe and were about to leave, the cashier made desperate pleading noises through the gag. Moved by curiosity, one of the burglars loosed the gag. "Please," whispered the cashier, "take the books, too. I'm $7,500 short." ______________________________________________________   Michigan _____________________________________________________

Terrion Pouncy, 19, held two employees of Maxwell Street Express at gunpoint in Chicago's South Side neighborhood Tuesday morning. Pouncy had pulled a gun and demanded cash from two employees at the hot dog stand, according to Assistant Cook County State's Attorney Erin Antonietti. Two men, ages 39 and 45, were working at the restaurant during the time of the robbery. Pouncy held the gun to the head of the 39-year-old, the Chicago Sun-Times reports. He had been holding a bucket filled with grease and asked the other employee to get cash from the register. As they handed the cash and their wallets over, the bucket of grease spilled and the money went flying. Pouncy grabbed the money and tucked the gun in his waistband and began to flee. As he ran, the gun accidentally went off and shot him in the penis. He ran a few blocks away and then called 911 to say he had been shot. Police arrested him at the hospital. Police recovered the wallets he had stolen in addition to the .38 caliber gun that had caused the injury. He has been charged with two counts of armed robbery. The robbery was captured on surveillance footage. Pouncy's boxers recovered at the hospital matched the underwear he exposed in the surveillance video.  _________________________________  Tech Support Pits From: Bonnie Re: Registry Defender Dear Webby, I recently received the information below.

 An expectant mother was being rushed to the hospital, but didn't quite make it. She gave birth to her baby on the hospital lawn. Later, the father received a bill, listing "Delivery Room Fee: $500." He wrote the hospital and reminded them the baby was born on the front lawn. A week passed, and a corrected bill arrived: "Greens Fee: $200."

 REDNECK 911 A couple of rednecks are out in the woods hunting when one of them falls to the ground. He doesn't seem to be breathing, his eyes are rolled back in his head. The other guy whips out his cell phone and calls 911. He gasps to the operator, "Bubba is dead! What can I do?" The operator, in a calm soothing voice says, "Just take it easy. I can help. First, let's make sure wether he's really dead." There is a silence, then a shot is heard. The guy's voice comes back on the line. He says, "OK, now what do we do next ?" ____________________________________________________  Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com Baking Soda in Your Clothes Hamper  Pour a little baking soda into the bottom of your hamper to help keep your dirty clothes smelling fresh. You can even keep a shaker with baking soda in it near your hamper to shake on top of your clothes when needed. A used and cleaned out parmesan cheese container makes a great shaker for baking soda. Tip provided by Thriftyfun.comDo yourself a favor and use a 49 cent salt shaker! DearWebby ____________________________________________________  More on fainting: The man passed out in a dead faint as he came out of his front door onto the porch. Someone called 911. When the paramedics arrived, they helped him regain consciousness and asked if he knew what caused him to faint. "It was enough to make anybody faint," he said. "My son asked me for the keys to the garage, and instead of driving the car out, he came out with a SNOW SHOVEL !!!" __________________________________________________

 Thanks to Martin for this story: A Kentucky couple, both bonafied rednecks, had 9 children. They went to the doctor to see about getting the husband "fixed". The doctor gladly started the required procedure and asked them what finally made them make the decision -- why after nine children, would they choose to do this. The husband replied that they had read in a recent article that one out of every ten children being born in Kentucky was Mexican, and they didn't want to take a chance on having a Mexican baby because neither of them could speak Spanish ____________________________________________________
