second one. 4 days to charge at home, at $100 per charge.

A man answers the phone and has the following
conversation:
"Yes, mother, I've had a hard day. Gladys has been
most difficult - I know I ought to be more firm, but it is
hard. Well, you know how she is.
"Yes, I remember you warned me. I remember you told
me that she was a vile creature who would make my life
miserable and you begged me not to marry her.
"You were perfectly right.
"You want to speak with her? All right."
He looks up from the telephone and calls to his wife in
the next room:
"Gladys, your mother wants to talk to you!"

An Irish priest and a Rabbi found themselves sharing a
compartment on a train. After a while, the priest opened
a conversation by saying
"I know that, in your religion, you're not supposed to eat
pork...Have you actually ever tasted it?
The Rabbi said, "I must tell the truth.Yes, I have, on the
odd occasion."
Then the Rabbi had his turn of interrogation. He asked,
"Your religion, too...I know you're supposed to be
celibate. But....
" The priest replied, "Yes, I know what you're going to
ask. I have succumbed once or twice."
There was silence for a while. Then the Rabbi peeped
around the newspaper he was reading and said,
"Better than pork, isn't it?"

California Woman Deliberately Ran Over and
Murdered a Man Because She Believed He Was
Trying to Harm a Cat
A 20-year-old California woman is accused of intentionally
running over a man she apparently believed was trying to
harm a cat.
Prosecutors on Wednesday announced a murder charge against
Hannah Star Esser for the death of Luis Anthony Victor, 43,
after she was arrested Sunday for striking him with her
vehicle.
Police found Victor dead on a street near a park in the city
of Cypress about 8:30 p.m. after someone reported a vehicle
had struck a pedestrian. Esser was arrested nearby after
police say an initial investigation revealed she
intentionally struck Victor with her car after an
altercation.
Prosecutors said Wednesday that the altercation began about
8:23 p.m. when Esser confronted Victor because she believed
he was “trying to run over a cat in the street” with his
vehicle.
Esser got out of her car and recorded herself confronting
Victor with profanity-laced accusations that he was trying
to harm the cat. Victor got out of his vehicle to confront
her, and Esser got back in her car while “continuing to
argue with Victor before driving off,” according to a press
release from the Orange County District Attorney’s Office.
“Instead of continuing to drive away from Victor and out of
the area, Esser made a 3-point turn and drove back towards
Victor in the direction of a cul-de-sac,” the release said.
“Esser then made a U-turn, accelerated and drove directly at
Victor.”
Esser intentionally struck Victor with the right front
section of her car, prosecutors say, launching the victim up
onto the hood and windshield. Victor flipped several times
before landing in the street; he was declared dead there
when police arrived.
The cat’s condition, including whether it was ever actually
struck by Victor’s vehicle, is not known. Aparently it got
bored and sauntered away before police arrived.
The case has been assigned to Senior Deputy District
Attorney Dave Porter, who is part of the homicide unit.
District Attorney Todd Spitzer said Esser “showed a complete
disregard for human life.”
“The Orange County District Attorney’s Office will ensure
that this random act of violence targeting a stranger will
be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” Spitzer
said in the release.
Esser is in jail on $1 million bond. Her arraignment is
scheduled for Oct. 13.

The kindergarten class had settled down to its coloring
books.
Willie came up to the teacher's desk and said,
"Miss Francis, I ain't go no crayons."
"Willie," Miss Francis said, "you mean, "I don't have any
crayons.' You don't have any crayons. We don't have any
crayons. They don't have any crayons. Do you see what I'm
getting at?"
"Not really," Willie said, "What happened to all them
crayons that nobody ain't got?"

A medieval astrologer prophesied to a king that his favorite
mistress would soon die. Sure enough, the woman died a
short
time later. The king was outraged at the astrologer, certain
that his prophecy had brought about the woman's death. He
summoned the astrologer and commanded him:
"Tell me when you will die!"
The astrologer realized that the king was planning to kill
him immediately, no matter what answer he gave.
"I do not know when I will die," he answered finally.
"I only know that whenever I die, the king will die a
horrible death three days later."

Re: IP number in spam
Dear Webby,
I don't know if I am allowed to ask for so information or
not but you seem to be the one to ask...
You had a humor letter once and in it was a person getting a
lot of spam and he traced down the IP number and new where
it came from.
Can I do that here at home.
Thanks for any information you can give me on this...
Keep the humor letters coming, they start my day off right.
James
Dear James
Nowadays many spammers forge the IP number, not just the
sender address.
If the owner of that IP number has a toll free number, then
of course you can save that number and phone them up next
time you are in a really really grouchy mood, and screech a
temper tantrum at them.
OK, let's run a contest for the best revenge trick against
spammers ! To make it interesting, I will throw in a prize:
A family size home page site for one year.
Let's kick off that contest with my favorite revenge trick:
Look for a 1-800 voice number in the spam, then use an old
computer and send a fax of a picture to that voice number.
With most fax programs you can of course tell them how many
times to send the same fax, and to which numbers, and at
what times. You can let it do it's thing while you sleep.
When the spammer picks up the phone, he gets that nasty fax
howl blasted at him.
With most fax programs you can set the FROM number. Use your
mother-in-law's number.
If all else fails, get MailWasher
I have used MailWasher since the 90's. It nukes the spam
right on the server, without wasting my time downloading it.
Have FUN!
Dear Webby

At the stroke of midnight, she wanted every man to be

Well, it was kind of embarrassing. The bartender was
