Good Morning,  !
Today is Wednesday, May 16
Thank you Don!

Just to see what the spammers are up to these days, I peeked
at the mails, that the MailWasher had
marked for deletion. That is always good for a chuckle.
In there, I saw a bill from Verizonwireless, supposedly, 
for $1475. Yeah, right. My only connection to Verizon Wireless
is reading the tales of woe from people in rural California,
whose Verizon Air Card takes 96 hours to download a routine
McAfee update, and who get billed by the minute. Since
MailWasher had already marked it for deletion,
for one reason or another, I did not have to do anything, 
except wonder, how many people fell for that scam.

Have FUN!

A railway inspector in Arkansas was making the
rounds of a railway station and yard in a small town.  
He located Hank, a man who had worked in the
rail yard for almost forty years.

He questioned Hank about various safety considerations 
and seemed to be satisfied that Hank was genuinely 
knowledgeable about railway safety.  

As a last question, he asked Hank what he would do if
he saw two trains approaching each other, on the same 
track, travelling at speeds of 50 miles per hour?

Hank said "I'd yell R.T."

The railway inspector, puzzled by
this, asked, "What's an R.T. ?"

Hank said, "R.T.'s my buddy and he's got one of them
deegital cameras!"

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD to 

Roland Thomas Smith II, 32, of Spotsylvania, Virginia

Burglar forgot his USB hard drive

Roland Smith, a 32 year old Virginia "man", was arrested 
Friday for stabbing his girlfriend after discovering her being
with somebody else at an Econo Lodge motel. The 36-year-old 
victim, who told cops Smith stabbed her in the abdomen, 
was transported to a hospital for treatment of her wounds, 
according to a press release issued today by the Spotsylvania 
County Sheriff’s Office.

Arrested at the scene, Smith “had blood on his hands and a 
knife was recovered from his person,” cops reported.

As seen in the above mug shot, Smith appears to be something 
of a Latin enthusiast. He is now jailed without bond.

RE: free email

Dear Webby, 
Can you recommed a good e-mail services.
That works well with dial-up and firefox..that is free and have lots
of on line storage.That has three or four gig's.Gmail does not work
right with dial-up...hot-mail does not work right with firefox. Our
new windstream ISP is a bunch of crap and will not let us get our
mail.Have been on the phone three times for about a hour each.We don't
want out-look express.

Hope you can help us.Thanks for your help and I enjoy your humor letter.

Dear Danny
Gmail works fine with dial-up. People even use it with Air-Cards 
(cell phone modems). 
Gmail is the only company, who will donate that many Gigabytes 
of space to you. Everybody else will kick you out and tell you to 
go to hell, if you reach even ONE GigaByte. They are not in the 
business of donating storage space to you. Actually neither 
is Gmail, but they have enough paying customers, so that
they can afford to do a bit of donating.

I would recommend that you read the instructions at Gmail 
and set it up right. Then you can use it with your dial-up.

You can download Eudora from 
http://webby.com/eudora

Once you have installed it, let me know, and I will send you a 
registration code.
Eudora works just fine with Gmail. You simply set your 
Gmail to POP, and  then download the mail whenever you are 
online. Gmail has excellent tutorials for setting it up with Eudora, 
and Millions of people are using it.

With Gmail and Eudora you can also use MailWasher 
and reduce the amount of mail you need to download.

Have FUN!

Proper attire is required in the cafeteria at the University   
of Maine. To enforce that rule, the management posted this   
notice: "Shoes are required to eat in this cafeteria."   

Next to it, a student added, "Socks can eat wherever they   
want."   

Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com

Use an Empty Can as a Utensil Holder When Cooking

Here is what I use to prevent spilled mess on my counter 
when I am cooking. I usually use more than one utensil 
when I am cooking but never know where to place them 
during the cooking time as I am still using them. Well, 
since I usually use some type of canned goods with all 
my meals, I came up with the following idea.

I rinse the can that I used, then I use it as a utensil holder 
while I am cooking. Once I am done cooking, I place the 
utensils in the sink, rinse the can again and recycle it. 
So it's kinda like recycling it twice. The bonus is that it 
saves a mess to clean off my counter or a plate.

By tomnsaby from Albuquerque, NM

I use a heavy, old style, 6 cup Pyrex 
measuring cup 3/4 full of water for that. It is a lot less
tippy than a can and utensils don't get dry or crusty sitting
in water.
Have FUN!

Despite his best sales pitch, a life insurance salesman 
was unable to get a couple to sign up for a policy. 

"I certainly don't want to frighten you into a decision," 
he announced, standing up to leave.
"Please sleep on it tonight, and if you wake up in the 
morning, let me know what you think."
