By the time he got home Sunday, the leg was very swollen and he was having difficulty walking, so he called his physician at his home. The doctor told him to soak it in hot water. He tried soaking it in hot water but the leg became more swollen and more painful. His maid saw him limping and said, "I don't know, I'm only a maid, but I always thought it was better to use cold water, not hot, for swelling." He tried switching to cold water, and the swelling rapidly subsided. On Monday morning he called his Dr. again to complain. "Say Doc, what kind of a doctor are you anyway? You told me to soak my leg in hot water and it got worse. My maid told me to use cold water and it got better." "Really?" answered the doctor, "I don't understand it - my maid said hot water." ___________________________________________________   An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  Shawn Yoakum, 42, Lafayette, Indiana, USA 
 Store clerk IDs his brother as would-be robber 
 Shawn Yoakum tried to rob the Village Pantry at 900 N. 14th St. about 6 a.m. Tuesday, according to police. He failed, according to police reports. Yoakum pulled a knife and demanded money from the two convenience store clerks one of whom was Yoakum's brother. The clerks closed the protective glass that surrounds the checkout area, making it impossible for Yoakum to harm the clerks, police said. With a positive ID of the robbery suspect, police starting looking for Yoakum. Officers caught up with Yoakum few minutes after the attempted robbery in the alley behind his house in the 1000 block of Hartford Street, police said. Yoakum, 42, refused to drop the knife, and officers tazed him, police said. The taze, however, did not have an effect on Yoakum, so an officer fired a likely less-than-lethal beanbag fired from a shot gun, police said. Yoakum dropped the knife when he was hit by the beanbag, and officers arrested him. He was booked into the Tippecanoe County Jail on preliminary charges of attempted robbery and resisting law enforcement, according to jail records. Additionally he was wanted on a warrant for escape from community corrections, police said. He remained incarcerated Wednesday at the Tippecanoe County Jail, according to jail records.  DearWebby's Tech Support Pits  From: Ulli Re: Can't run Skype   DearWebby, My Windoze suicided for no reason at all, and I had to do a restore. Believe it or not, I got almost everything working again. At first it would not let me run Chrome, so I had to slum it with Candlestick, ahem Firefux. And Skype would not run. Like it often does these days, it insisted on a re-install. @#$%^&!!! That failed on extracting the files. Now what? Ulli  Dear Ulli Watch where it is trying to extract. Most likely in C:\ProgramFiles (86)\Microsoft Make sure that folder and all the included ones are not "Read Only". Then use "Should-I-Remove-It" and remove Skype. After that go to http://Skype.com/ or https://www.skype.com/en/get-skype/  DO NOT try to get there with Google! They try to slither all kinds of evil crap ware and scam ware onto your machine! Go ONLY to THAT link! Download Skype and run it. All your contacts and history will show up, and Skype will run almost as fast as before Microsoft bought it. Have FUN! DearWebby

 One day, this woman went to a bait shop to get her husband a fishing reel for his birthday. After selecting one, she inquired as to its cost. The owner replied, "I'm sorry, ma'am, but I'm blind and cannot see what reel you have. If you drop it on the floor, I'll recognize it and be of more help." So she did just that. After hearing it hit the floor, the owner said, "That's the Johnson Model 9400. It'll be $40.00." The woman decided to take it so she went to pick it up off the floor. Upon bending over, she laid a stinky, squeaky fart. The owner rang up the sale and said, "That'll be fifty dollars." "Fifty dollars?!?!" the woman exclaimed. "You just told me that is was forty dollars a moment ago!" "Yes, I did", said the owner, "But that was for the reel. The duck call is another $7.50 and the stink bait is $2.50." _____________________________________________ Three guys were at a football game. It just so happens that they were all diehard football fans. They finally found a seat good enough for them. But there was just one problem with the so called "perfect seats." Three nuns were in front of them blocking their view. The guys wanted them to move so one said, loud enough for the nuns to hear, "Hey I think I'll move to Idaho. There are only 100 Catholics there." The second one said, "No I'm gonna move to Montana. There are only 50 Catholics living there." Then the third guy said, "You two are both wrong. We should move to Wisconsin. There are only 25 Catholics there." Then one of the nuns turns around and said, "Hey why don't you go to hell... there aren't ANY Catholics there!" ____________________________________________ The phrase that is guaranteed to wake up an audience: "And in conclusion." I don't know why some people change churches; what difference does it make which one you stay home from?
