They chnaged sides and kicked the Germans out in late spring 1945, when it had become obvious, that the allies would win. ____________________________________________________ A stupid man's report of what a clever man says can never be accurate, because he unconsciously translates what he hears into something he can understand. --- Bertrand Russell (1872 - 1970) ____________________________________________________ Two youngsters were closely examining bathroom scales on display at the department store. "Have you ever seen one of these before?" one asked. "Yeah, my mom and dad have one," the other replied. "What's it for?" asked the first boy. "I don't know," the second boy answered. "But if grown-ups stand on it, don't go near them for ten minutes. That thing makes them mad." ____________________________________________________   Jeanne Schmidt ____________________________________________________ The social studies teacher had just finished a unit on war and peace. "How many of you," he asked, "would say you're opposed to war?" Not surprisingly, all hands went up. The teacher asked, "who'll give us the reason for being opposed to war?" A large, bored-looking boy in the back of the room raised his hand. "Johnny?" The teacher said. "I hate war," Johnny said, "because wars make history, and then some poor, innocent kid has to memorize all about it." ------------- That was me. And a second after the exam, I dumped it all. ____________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  Mariah Chaffin, 38, Visalia, California, USA  Stolen ambulance crashes in Visalia  The Visalia Police Department responded to a call around 3:38 p.m. on Monday near the 700 block of E. Noble to assist medical professionals. According to police, Mariah Chaffin, 38, drove off in an ambulance that was left running. Police say they were able to catch up with Chaffin, who was driving the stolen ambulance with both emergency lights and sirens on. They caught up with her in downtown Visalia near Acequia and Locust, where she later crashed into another ambulance that was carrying a patient. She also crashed into a police car. Chaffin was taken into custody and later to the hospital. A Visalia Police Officer was also taken to the hospital for injuries received during the collision with the stolen ambulance. Police say Chaffin will be booked for assault with a deadly weapon, resisting arrest, and possession of a stolen vehicle once released from the hospital.  
 Dearwebby's Tech Support Pits from: Bill (The other one) RE: W-11 Dear Webby What's this about W-11 coming out from Microsoft? Did we stop bitching about the klutzy W-10 ? Bill (The other one)  Dear Bill (The other one) Keep in mind that Microsoft owns significant portions of DELL and all the Chinese computer manufacturers. W-11 will initially be cuckood into new machines only, and eventually, once there is a wide enough user base to provide good enough support, by download on demand. W-11 includes a host of cosmetic upgrades, such as a new Start button, a revamped task bar and sounds, woohoo! Apparently some guy in California had complained about the racist look of the START button. W-11 will make it easier for 3rd party programmers to write apps, which will make great profits for Malware fighters. Some of the annoyances in W-10 will apparently be fixed, and just to keep you bitching, everything will be either shuffled around or hidden. It is not known yet, if W-11 requires new hardware, since apparently you can downgrade W-10 to W-11 with a download. Whether that slows W10 down some more is not known yet. Have FUN! DearWebby 
 "The thrill is gone from my marriage," Alan told his friend Don. "Why not add some intrigue to your life and have an affair?" Don suggested. "But what if my wife finds out?" "Heck, these are the '2K's, Alan. Go ahead and tell her about it!" So Alan went home and said, "Dear, I think an affair will bring us closer together." "Forget it," said his wife. "I've tried that six times already it never worked."
