Jones came into the office, an hour late for the third time
in one week and found the boss waiting for him.  "What's
the story this time, Jones?" his boss asked sarcastically. 
"Let's hear a good excuse for a change." 

Jones sighed, "Everything went wrong this morning, Boss.
The wife decided to drive me to the station.  She got ready
in ten minutes, but then the drawbridge got stuck.  Rather
than let you down, I swam across the river -- look, my
suit's still damp -- ran out to the airport, got a ride on
Mr. Thompson's helicopter, landed on top of Radio City
Music Hall, and was carried here piggyback by one of the
Rockettes." 

"You'll have to do better than that, Jones," said the boss,
obviously disappointed. "No woman can get ready in ten 
minutes."

Thanks to Gina for this story:
When my youngest daughter was three, she begged to be 
allowed to attend a concert with her older sister and
brother.  She assured me she was a big girl and would
behave herself. 

As we took our seats in the orchestra hall, I handed
programs to the kids.  Following the lead of her older
siblings, my three-year-old opened her program, and in her
most grown-up voice said, "Mommy, I'll have the chicken,
please."

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD 
has been earned by

Funzail Woods, 29,
Atlanta
GA

GA man used axe during robbery; 
wore high visibility Pok‚mon backpack

Funzail Woods was arrested after using an axe as a weapon
at the Target store on Piedmont Road in Buckhead, according
to police. Investigators said the man walked over to the
electronics section,  where he took a cell phone out of a
package and proceeded to put it in his pocket. When he was
approached by the manager, he actually presented an axe. 

The manager, of course, backed off,  said Officer Lisa
Bender, Atlanta Police Department.

Woods then ran out the store. The 911 alert went out to
Zone 2 officers. By then, Woods had changed his shirt.

 But he didn't change his backpack. So, I think that's what
got him,  said Officer Bender.  The man took off running
when he saw police. And he did have a Pok‚mon backpack, so
those are normally a bright color and typically easy to
spot. 

Woods allegedly showed his weapon to one of the officers,
but apparently figured that wasn't such a good idea. 

Close by on Sidney Marcus, Atlanta Police said he tossed
the backpack into the street. It was too late to make a
getaway. By then several officers surrounded him and took
him into custody.

Re: Can you sort bookmarks in Chrome?
Dear Webby,
Can you sort bookmarks in Chrome?
Thanks
Thomas


Dear Thomas
Yes, you can, but it is top secret.
Open your web browser.
CTRL SHIFT o
That is the Bookmarks Manager.
Click on the Organise button
Reorder by title.

Chrome unfortunately is rather incompetent when it comes to
sorting bookmarks. They want you to google for new stuff,
not go to where you have already been, and especially not
where you have been recently, before you got rudely
interrupted by your boss.

You can NOT sort the bookmarks by date or by URL.

If you want that, you need the Dewey

The Dewey is actually a program, that you add as an
extension to Chrome. It is a complete bookmarks manager.
You will probably never use all the features it has, but
the quick sorting by date or URL is very handy.

You can even add tags like PRAYER to bookmarks, and then
have searches limited to bookmarks, that have a chosen tag.

Have FUN!
DearWebby




A woman with a baby came into the doctor's office. She was
 told to go into a room and wait for the doctor.

After arriving, the doctor examined the baby and asked the 
woman, "Is he breast fed or on the bottle?"

"Breast fed" she replied.

"Well, strip down to your waist,"the doctor ordered.

She did.

He pressed, kneaded and pinched both breasts for a while in
a detailed examination. Motioning to her to get dressed he
said, "No wonder this baby is hungry. You don't have any
milk."

"Naturally," she said, "I'm his Grandma. 
But I'm glad I came...."

Faux Books for Halloween
By lalala... [848 Posts, 108 Comments]

I wanted a stack of old books as a prop with my Halloween
decorations, but all of the ones I found were too
expensive. Then I saw these at the craft store, they are
actually boxes. They are perfect and easily customizable.
 
Supplies:
paper mache book boxes
black paint
white paint
gold paint
paint brushes
clear coat, optional
Steps:
Paint the outside of books (skipping the pages area and the
spine details). Once the paint is dry, paint the inside of
the box. I recommend doing 2 coats of paint.

Paint the spine details with the gold paint.

For the pages, I mixed white and gold paint together to
give them an aged look.

Stack your faux books and use them as part of your
Halloween decorations. You can also store treats or small
items in them too.

Thanks to kati for this story:
Fifty-one years ago Herman James, a Tennessee Mountain Man,
was drafted by the Army.

On his first day in Basic, the Army issued him a comb.  
That afternoon the Army barber sheared off all his hair.

On his second day, the Army issued Herman a toothbrush.  
That afternoon the Army dentist yanked seven of his teeth.

On the third day, the Army issued him a jock strap.  

The Army has been looking for Herman for 51 years.

A graduate in economics who completed his degree in the
1950's returned to his old university for a visit. He was
amazed to see that the examination questions were identical
to the ones asked in his day.   

When he pointed this out to a member of staff, he replied, 
"That's true, but, of course, the answers are completely  
different now."

My dry cleaner very generously provides a stack of free

As I took my copy, I told him, "I hope the business grows  

enough to offset the cost of the papers."   

"Oh, don't worry about us," he chuckled... "Nothing dirties

A woman stopped by unannounced at her recently married 
son's house. She rang the doorbell and walked in. She was 
shocked to see her daughter-in-law lying on the couch, 
totally naked, soft music was playing and the aroma of 
perfume filled the room.
"What are you doing?" she asked.

"I'm waiting for my husband to come home from work," the 
daughter-in-law answered.

"But you're naked!" the mother-in-law exclaimed.

"This is my love dress," the daughter-in-law explained.

"Love dress? But you're naked!"

"My husband loves me to wear this dress," she explained.
"It excites him to no end. Every time he sees me in this 
dress, he instantly becomes romantic and ravishes me for 
hours on end. He can't get enough of me."

The mother-in-law left. When she got home, she undressed, 
showered,put on her best perfume, dimmed the lights, put 
on a romantic CD, and laid on the couch waiting for her 
husband to arrive. 

Finally her husband came home. He walked in and saw her 
lying there so provocatively.
"What are you doing?" he asked.

"This is my love dress," she whispered, sensually.

"Needs ironing," he said. "What's for dinner?"

His funeral will be held next Thursday
