Good Morning, Do, Today is Wednesday, June 7 A telemarketer gave me a good laugh today. I was a bit distracted because I was reading an email at the time, so instead of putting her on (permanent) hold, I said: "I don't have a phone, send me an email." She apologized as I was hanging up. If she did send an email, Mailwasher washed it. Have Fun!

______________________________________________________ Nothing can be so amusingly arrogant as a young man who has just discovered an old idea and thinks it is his own. --- Sidney J. Harris Why is it that our memory is good enough to retain the least triviality that happens to us, and yet not good enough to recollect how often we have told it to the same person? --- Francois de La Rochefoucauld (1613 - 1680) ______________________________________________________ If you like the Humor Letter, please vote! ______________________________________________________ >From Bill: I was taking a ground school class for private pilots. During the session on weather, the instructor wanted to discuss the concept of sublimation, the act of going from a gas to a solid, skipping the intermediate liquid stage. He gave as an example water vapor in the air icing on a windshield overnight to form ice. Wanting to see if the class had understood the concept, the instructor asked if anyone could provide an example of something that went straight from a solid to a gas. He was expecting "dry ice'' as the answer. One of the students blurted out, "Burritos." _____________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ When I was discussing fund drives of universities with a few friends, one told this story: "I graduated from a private school that I didn't like much. Once I was outta there, I had no particular desire to ever contribute to their latest fund drive or future athletic events. "Sure enough, a few years ago Alumni Affairs staff called my folks, got my current number and tracked me down. 'So, what have you been doing with yourself?' some perky alumnus asked. "I responded, 'Oh, not a lot. Just stealing cars, running moonshine and selling a bit of dope on the side.' "They've never called back." ______________________________________________________ South Haven, MI, onLake MI _____________________________________________________ If you like the Humor Letter, please vote!

Algonquin police said in a statement that the body of 29-year- old Ernest Prentic of Carpentersville was discovered in the river around 6:30 p.m. Friday. Police were called about 9:20 p.m. Thursday to Nero's Restaurant in Algonquin after reports that a man later identified as Prentic had run out without paying his tab. A fisherman saw him leap into the river. Dive teams searched the area until midnight and resumed their search Friday morning. Prentic's body has been turned over to the Kane County coroner's office. ______________________________________________________ Tech Support Pits From: Priss Re: Which ISP for DSL Dear Webby About the harping on ISP's---I have always been an earthlink customer and have been very satisfied but I am thinking of getting DSL---with Southwestern Bell--- What is your opinion on this? Thanks Priss Dear Priss Southwestern's DSL seems to be OK, like most companies' DSL. Check out what Earthlink can offer you in your area. Quite often they act as a re-seller or work through local DSL and are actually cheaper. That way you could stay with them and would not have to change any addresses. Have FUN! DearWebby A lady lost her handbag at the mall. Do found it and returned it to her. Looking in her purse, she said, "Hmm, that's funny. When I lost my bag, there was a $20 bill in it. Now there are twenty $1 bills." Do replied, "That IS funny. The last time I found a lady's purse, she didn't have any change for a reward." | If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! | |
Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com Recipe: Ham Stir Fried Rice A voice on the bank loudspeaker announced: "We will be testing the speaker system to make sure it will work pro- perly in case of emergency."

I don't think he would be bothered. From the day he left me, he probably never slept alone! Jewish Mother So you're going to sleep over at this loser's place? Daughter He's not a loser. Jewish Mother A man who goes out with a divorced woman with children is a loser and a parasite. Daughter I don't want to argue. Should I bring over the kids or not? Jewish Mother Poor children with such a mother. Daughter Such a what? Jewish Mother With no stability. No wonder your husband left you. Daughter ENOUGH !!! Jewish Mother Don't scream at me. You probably scream at this loser too! Daughter Now you're worried about the loser? Jewish Mother Ah, so you see he's a loser. I spotted him immediately. Daughter Goodbye, mother. Jewish Mother Wait!
