Success usually comes to those who 
are too busy to be looking for it.
--- Henry Thoreau:


The newly-married husband came home from the office to find his young
wife in floods of tears.
"Darling, what is the matter?" he asks.
"Sweetheart," she sobs, "the most terrible thing has happened! I
cooked my very first Beef Bourguignon for you, and I got it out the oven to
season it, and the phone rang. When I came back from answering the
phone," she sobbed again "I found that the cat had eaten it!"
"Don't worry, darling," said her husband.
"Don't cry. I'll get you a new cat in the morning..."

A farmer stood leaning on a fence at the edge of his property. He watched
as a red sports car came over the top of a hill and followed the road up to
the spot where he stood. The driver pulled over to the side of the road and
called out to the farmer.
"Do you know how I can get to Route 91?" the driver asked.
The farmer thought for a few seconds. Then he said, "Nope."
"Do you know where the nearest turnpike entrance is?" the driver asked.
"Nope."
"How about the town of Hadley. Do you know which direction it is
from here?"
"Nope."
Exasperated, the driver raced his engine. "You don't know very much,
do you?" he said.
"Nope," the farmer replied. "But I don't have to. I don't get lost."

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD
goes to Guido Beneventi, 30, in Palermo, Italy

Convict prefers jail to parents

A jailbird released early with an electronic tag has begged 
to go back to jail - because he can't stand living with his 
parents.

Convicted thief Guido Beneventi, 30, had his sentence reduced 
on condition that he stayed at his mum and dad's home in 
Palermo, southern Italy.

But he said that his parents constantly lectured him about his 
life of crime and then began ordering him around "like a child" 
and telling him to clean his room.

After a string of rows, he broke his curfew to flee to police 
headquarters and demanded to be arrested.

"You are my saviours," he told them as they sent him back 
to Ucciardone jail. "I just couldn't take another day with them.

"They spent all their time telling me how useless I was and 
lecturing me about everything and ordering me to do housework. 
It was like being a child again. Prison was better."



Officers were being lectured about a new computer.
The instructor said the computer was able to withstand nuclear 
and chemical attacks.

Then he hollered, "There will be no eating or drinking in
 my class! Get rid of that coffee!"
Joe inquired meekly "Sure, but why?"
"Because a coffee spill will wreck the Keyboard".

Re: FTP

Dear Webby,
Which of the hundreds of FTP programs do you recommend for uploading
files to my web site? I don't like using the "bimbo-proofed" uploader they
got. Have you got anything that doesn't have ads or spyware included,
and doesn't cost an arm and a leg?
Thanks
Erika

Dear Erika
FileZilla has made all other FTP programs obsolete.
It is free, rock solid and full featured. Just go to my 
tool box and download it.

Have FUN!

Two confirmed bachelors sat talking. Their conversation drifted from politics
to cooking. "I got a cookbook once," said the first, "but I could never do
anything with it."
"Too much fancy cooking in it, eh?" asked the second.
"You said it. Every one of the recipes began the same way -
'Take a clean dish and....'"

Pretreating Lipstick Stains
If you get a lipstick stain on your clothing, try pretreating 
it with cold cream or shortening. Then rub a little grease 
fighting dish detergent into it and launder as usual.
If all else fails, use some WD40,
Have FUN!

The wife chewed out her husband at the company picnic a while back.
"Doesn't it embarrass you that people have seen you go up to the buffet
table five times?"
"Not a bit," the husband replied. "I tell them I'm just filling up
the plate for you!"
