Peter (1919 - 1988) We learn something every day, and lots of times it's that what we learned the day before was wrong. --- Bill Vaughan ________________________________________________ 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." __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ Reported by Rock An International Bonehead Award has been earned by Steven Ryan Michael, 27 Peoria, Arizona, USA Chickenshit "male" arrested for sexually assaulting woman who was jogging, Peoria Police say A Phoenix man was arrested after police say he sexually assaulted a woman who was jogging on a Peoria trail. On Jan. 28, 27-year-old Steven Ryan Michael reportedly came up behind a woman jogging on Skunk Creek Trail near 75th Avenue and Bell Road and threw her to the ground. He "got on top of her and sexually abused her. The victim aggressively fought Steven, and was able to get away to call 911," police said. Court documents say while Michael was on top of the woman, she punched him, but then he grabbed her chest. As she screamed for help and told him to stop, she continued to fight back and kick him in the groin which is when he got off of her, and she ran away. The woman didn't have her phone on her, so she ran home to tell her husband, and he called 911. Michael was found near where the alleged incident happened and was arrested after he reportedly ran from officers at first. Police say once they took him into custody, his story didn't add up. First, he told officers he took a bus from Phoenix to the area to go hiking but wasn't wearing hiking clothes and wasn't near a hiking trail. Then he told officers he was waiting for Arrowhead Towne Center to open. He was booked into jail on suspicion of several felony counts, including, sexual abuse, attempted sexual assault, aggravated assault and kidnapping. __________________________________________________________ Jeanne Schmidt __________________________________________________ If you can spare a coin, PLEASE hit PayPal with it! ____________________________________________________ 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. ____________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ "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." __________________________________________________ If you can spare a coin, PLEASE hit PayPal with it! ____________________________________________________ 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.

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!
