The police have been unable to get any criminal cases going.

I have a question---If you have Chrome why would you want to use Edge? David  Dear David Could be that somebody is curious about whether one browser or the other gets around an ad blocker block. They don't, but people try all kinds of gimmicks. Have FUN! DearWebby ___________________________________________________ A man who smelled like a bar at closing time, flopped on a subway seat next to a priest. The man's tie was stained and his collar showed some liptsick smears. He opened his newspaper and began reading. After a few minutes the disheveled guy turned to the priest and asked, "Say,Father, what causes arthritis?" "It's caused by loose living, being with cheap, wicked women, too much alcohol and a contempt for your fellow man!" "Well, I'll be damned," the drunk muttered, returning to his paper. The priest, thinking about what he had said, nudged the man and apologized. "I'm very sorry, I didn't mean to come on so strong. How long have you had arthritis?" "I don't have it, Father, I was just reading here that the Pope does."
