The inspector wasn't sure, but she said she would research it. ____________________________________________________ Dave was talking to his buddy, John, about his love life.

PETERSBURG, Florida, usa Teen dead after crash in stolen Maserati, Plus Two teens injured Three teens found an easy vehicle to steal when they discovered an unlocked Maserati with the keys inside in a driveway in northeast Pinellas County early Sunday morning, according to the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office. One of the teens ended up dying after crashing the car, and another may not survive, Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri said during a press conference near the scene of the crash. Three boys, 15-year-old Keondrick Lang, Mario Bonilla, 15, and Malachi Daniels, 16, were checking door handles for unlocked cars in the neighborhood of 29th Street N and 58th Avenue N. Sheriff Gualtieri said Lang was trying not to put his fingerprints on the cars, so he used his shirt to pull door handles. When the Maserati door opened, Lang saw that the keys were inside, and they jumped in. Meanwhile, deputies in a helicopter above spotted the teens as they were getting into the car. The chopper had been sent to the scene of another crime a burglary and deputies were taking a suspect into custody. Other deputies on the ground were alerted to the possible vehicle-theft-in-progress and tried to get near the vehicle to stop the teens before they got away, but the Maserati took off. Lang was driving. Bonilla was in the front passenger seat and Daniels was in the back. The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office has a policy to not engage in chases on the roadway, but once the teens saw there were deputies in the area, they took off as if they were being chased, according to the sheriff. The helicopter tracked their movements from above, until the crash. The Maserati collided with the side of a 2-business building along 62nd Ave. N, across from the Winn-Dixie. The car flipped over in the parking lot after wrapping around a light pole. Bonilla died in the crash. The sheriff said Daniels may not survive. Lang was hospitalized and is expected to survive. The Maserati was a total loss. The sheriff said the teens do not have much of a criminal history. However, the three teens had been stopped together by deputies in Kenneth City, walking through a neighborhood early in the morning. At that time, their parents were called and the teens were returned home. The sheriff said the parents of the teens were distraught about the crash. Their parents had tried to correct the teens' behavior. One of the boys had recently been moved to a different school. Gualtieri said the car owner had been notified of the crash. _____________________________________________________ A Sunday school teacher was instructing her class. Just before she dismissed them to go to church she asked them, "Why is it necessary to be quiet in church?" Little Johnny was quick to blurt out what he was certain was the correct answer, "Because most people are sleeping!" _____________________________________________________ Sandra Vilumsone _________________________________________________ Three pastors from different congregations were having lunch and sharing experiences and ideas to help each other out with their different fellowships. After several minutes of animated conversation, the first one remarks, "Hey, you know, we've got a serious problem at our church that I want to discuss with you guys." The other two pastors nod and he goes on, "Well, it's bats. We can't seem to get these bats out of our attic. The singing and organ playing wake them up, and they start flapping around. Then when I start to preach, we can still hear them moving around up there and it's really hard for anyone to pay any attention. The kids start to cry and, well, it's starting to really get in the way of a good church service." The second pastor says "Well that's interesting, because we've had the same problem, they won't stay out of our belfry. We've tried ringing the bells at all hours, spraying chemicals, we've even had a couple of exterminator companies out. Nothing's worked yet." He throws up his hands in exasperation and shakes his head. The third pastor smiles and nods his head knowingly. "Well, gentlemen. We had that problem a few years ago, and we found a quick solution." he says. The other two pastors look up with hope on their faces, and he goes on, "It was easy. We got up there, got to know 'em a little bit. Pretty soon we had them come on down, got 'em baptized and part of the congregation. Then we asked them for a contribution. Haven't seen 'em since." _____________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ A tiny but dignified old lady was among a group looking at an art exhibition in a newly opened gallery. Suddenly one contemporary painting caught her eye. "What on earth," she inquired of the artist standing nearby, "is that?" He smiled condescendingly. "That, my dear lady, is supposed to be a mother and her child." "Keep trying," snapped the little old lady, "you are not even close yet!" _________________________________________________ dearwebby's tech support pits From:Holly Re: Sort Favorites in MSIE Dear Webby Is there some secret, undocumented way to alphabetically sort the Favorites in MSIE ? Thanks Holly Dear Holly yes, there is. ALT A to open the Favorites Use the down arrow on the keyboard to select any favorite. Just select it, don't go there. Now use the mouse and RIGHT click that selected item and carefully take your hand away from the mouse, without ANY mouse movement. type B That shuffles all the favorites into alphaBetical order. Seems like a silly rigamarole, but it is really the easiest and fastest way to sort the favorites. Please note that due to a bug in MSIE that goes back to version 1, ALT ENTER does NOT let you fake a right-click in the favorites. You HAVE to manually right click your selection with the mouse. Have fun!

By limiting himself to only one shot of Scotch per hole, the Scot figured a round of golf was finished when the Scotch ran out. _____________________________________________________ On her way back from the concession stand, Sandra asked the man at the end of the row, "Sir, did I step on your foot a minute ago?"
