Beware of all enterprises that require new clothes.

A doctor and a lawyer were talking at a party.
Their conversation was constantly interrupted
by people describing their ailments and asking
the doctor for free medical advice. After an hour
of this, the exasperated doctor asked the lawyer,
"What do you do to stop people from asking you
for legal advice when you're out of the office?"

"I give it to them," replied the lawyer, "and then
I send them a bill."

The doctor was shocked, but agreed to give it
a try. The next day, still feeling slightly guilty,
the doctor prepared the bills. When he went to
place them in his mailbox, he found a bill from
the lawyer.

A middle-aged woman was driving through a school zone when a
policeman pulled her over for speeding. As he was giving her
the ticket, she said, "How come I always get a ticket and
everyone else gets a warning? Is it my face?"

"No, ma'am," explained the officer, "it's your foot."

Reported by the Bausell Sailor: 


An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD 
has been earned by


Cordelia Adair, 31, 
Montgomery,
Alabama


Alabama mother charged after 5 of 
her kids test positive for cocaine


Cordelia Adair, 31, allegedly exposed five of her children   her
4-year-old son, 7-year-old daughter, 9-year-old daughter, 12-
year-old son and 13-year-old son   to the substance during June
and September of 2018, according to an arrest affidavit obtained
by the Montgomery Advertiser.

Adair was charged with five felony counts of chemical
endangerment of a child.

 MPD (Montgomery Police Dept.) was contacted by DHR (Department
of Human Resources) on Sept. 6 in reference to possible drug
activity in the home,  Capt. Regina Duckett, with the Montgomery
Police Dept., told the paper.  Following a joint investigation
with DHR, warrants were secured against Adair. She was taken into
custody by the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force on Sept. 21 and
charged. 

Alabama child welfare officials declined to comment on the case,
citing privacy laws. Police did not immediately respond to
requests for comment about the condition of the children.

A judge reduced Adair's bond Monday from $15,000 to $7,500 per
count.

Re: Wireless broadband Internet

Dear Webby,
I love your humor. I've told many of your jokes to many
people. Thanks for sharing them & your pics.

I was asked by a friend if there was any wireless internet
service she could check into that did not require a land
phone line. I believe she uses a cell phone only & does not
have cable tv either. I told her I would ask someone who
would probably know. Your tech dept has been a lot of help.

Also I keep seeing soemthing that says to use the "return"
key to get back to something previoulsy viewed. What is the
retuen key? I susally use the back arrow button on the taskbar.
Just curious. Thanks again.
Sharon

Dear Sharon
Verizon and a few others have a cell modem. It works slightly
better than dial-up, but everybody I know that uses it, hates it.
They consider it an emergency measure until they can get
back to DSL or cable.

Then there is Wireless High Speed Internet in some areas.
Some towns have it, but most don't. Most rural areas in Canada
have it, but in the US, most don't have it yet.

Unless your friend is on the run, I would recommend that she get
herself a land line. With a land line she can get DSL and 30
Mbps. Tell her to visit her ISP and discuss her options face to
face.

The bottom line, though, is the ISP. I get 30 Mbps to the ISP in
Calgary. 
They are the bottleneck. 
Then I wait and wait and wait
to get through them to whatever site I want to visit. If there
are lots of ads there, then it is even worse.

The speed between me and the ISP seems to be irrelevant. They are
installing fibre now throughout the village. It will increase
the speed from here to the ISP to 50 Mbps, still a long way from
South Korea's average of 200 Mbps, but theoretically a lot faster
than dial-up. The bottle neck at the ISP remains the same.

Carriage Return key that looks like the Enter key on a computer
keyboard.

A kind-hearted motorist saw a man struggling to change a tire 
alongside the highway, and pulled over to see whether he could
help. 

The man had a very red face, and a dark smear across it where
he'd wiped off sweat with dirty hands. His tie was undone and his
shirt collar askew, and it was clear he had also wiped his hands
on his once-white shirt. Close to him stood an immaculately neat
woman who was speaking in quick, agitated tones.

"Hello, there," said the motorist. "Say, I've changed a lot of 
tires . . . maybe I can help here."

"You sure can," the man with the flat tire replied wearily. "My 
wife is an expert, too. If you will just do all the arguing with
her about how this tire ought to be changed, I can concentrate on
the dirty work and get the job done."

A little girl was asked what she wanted most for her birthday
and she declared:  "A baby brother."

"Daddy and I would like to give you a baby brother," said her
mom, "but there isn't time before your birthday."

"Why don't you do like they do down at Daddy's factory when
they want something in a hurry -- put  more men on the job?"
said the little girl.

Fireplace Match Replacement
If you run out of fireplace matches use a long piece of
spaghetti.

Just light the spaghetti and use it as a match. Also works for
lighting candles that have wicks that are tough to reach
(like birthday candles).
Spaghetti also works great for lighting
gas furnaces if a storm or gas interruption extinguishes the
pilot lights. I have used spaghetti for many decades for that.
You can get the flame right to the precise spot without
singing your fingers.

A hillbilly was making his first visit to a hospital where
his teenage son was about to have an operation.
Watching the doctor's every move, he asked, "What's that?"

The doctor explained, "This is an anaesthetic;
after he gets this he won't know a thing."

"Save your time, Doc," exclaimed the man,
"he don't know nothing now."

When I first started college, the Dean came in and said
"Good Morning" to all of us. When we echoed back to him,
he responded "Ah, you're Freshmen."

He explained. "When you walk in and say good morning, and
they say good morning back, it's Freshmen.  When they put
their newspapers down and open their books, it's Sophomores.
When they look up so they can see the instructor over the
tops of the newspapers, it's juniors. When they put their
feet up on the desks and keep reading, it's seniors. When
you walk in and say good morning, and they write it down,
it's graduate students."
