Preparing for a family vacation, my sister-in-law and her   
husband explained to their young children that they would   
be sitting in the car for a very long time. The kids were   
told they would not be arriving at their destination until   
after dark, and were warned not to keep saying, "Are we   
there yet?"   

After a few minutes of peaceful driving, their five-year-old   
daughter perked up, "Is it dark yet?"

A big, beefy, leather-wearing, biker type fellow walks into   
a bar, slams his fist down, and demands in a loud voice,   
"Give me a bottle of beer, or else...!"   

Scared, the bartender serves the man his beer. This happens   
every day for a week straight, and the bartender turns into   
a nervous wreck. He asks his wife for advice, and she tells   
him he should stand up for himself. Easier said than done,   
he thinks, but he decides to try it.   

The next day, the biker returns.   

"Give me a bottle of beer, or else...!"   

"O-o-o-or else w-w-w-what?" stammers the bartender.   

"Or I'll take a draft if you're out of bottles."

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD 
has been earned by

Dickface Johnson,
Jeffrey Forrest Poole,
37,
Largo,
Florida

Most memorable Alias in Floriduh

When police in Largo, Florida, arrested Jeffrey Forrest Poole on
charges of violently resisting a police officer, the authorities
made sure to list things like his age, weight and address in his
arrest report.

Officers also included an alias that Poole has allegedly used in
the past ? and it's pretty awesome, as well as NSFW.

But more on that later.

Police were called to the 37-year-old suspect's home on a
reported domestic disturbance early Sunday morning.

When the officer arrived, according to the criminal complaint,
Poole exited his home and said,  I will beat every cop's ass!  

Then Poole  raised his right fist and began to extend it towards
my face in an attempt to strike me,  the arresting officer wrote,
according to The Smoking Gun.

Since Poole was arrested and taken to the Pinellas County Jail,
it is highly unlikely he made good on his ass-kicking promise.

Poole was charged with assaulting a police officer and violently
resisting a police officer. He remains behind bars in lieu of
$5,150 bail.

What makes this case interesting beyond Pinellas County is one
tiny detail: The criminal alias Poole has previously used, one
 Dickface Johnson. 

That name showed up because Poole was either asked if he had any
alias or a record on file under that name, according to
Brobible.com.

Re: Spell Check

Dear DearWebby,
I am 71 year's old and I would like very much to install Spell
Correct on my Face Book Timeline page What do you think is the
best one? I look on the Internet and it had 4 different one's
but I have always trusted your thoughts. The four Are 1- Google
Chrome 2-Mozilla Firefox 3- Safari --Internet Explorer Thanks a
lot. 
Cleta

Dear Cleta
Decades ago, long before FaceBook, I installed "As You Type".
It still seems to work in everything, mail, spreadsheets, word
processing, etc., including FaceBook.

I realize that now it is not free, but it has never bugged me
about renewing. Seems to be a lifetime thing. So I have not
checked what is new in that field.

The browser based spell checkers are each just good for that
particular browser. If you use Chrome, get that one. If you use
FireFox, get that one.
If you use many different browsers, get the add-in for each of
them.

The browser based spell checkers won't help you in other
applications like email or spreadsheets or word processors, but
will work nicely in that particular browser.

Have FUN!
DearWebby

John was drunk when he got to Texas.
When he arrived on the plane, he felt the seats and
said, "Wow,  these seats are big!" The person next to
him answered, "Everything is big in Texas."

When he finally arrived in Texas, he decided to
visit a bar. Upon arriving in the bar, he ordered a
beer and got a mug placed between his hands.

He exclaimed, "Wow these mugs are big!" The
bartender replied, "Everything is big  in Texas."

After a couple of beers, the drunk asked the
bartender where the bathroom was located. The
bartender replied, "Second door to the right." 

John headed for the bathroom, but accidentally
tripped over and skipped  the second door. Instead, he
entered the third door, which lead to the  swimming
pool and fell into the pool by accident. Scared to
death, the drunk man started shouting, "Don't flush,
PLEASE, don't flush!"

The dentist was striving to extract a tooth, but every time 
he got ready to proceed, the patient clamped his jaws. 
At last, he took his assistant aside and told her at the 
very moment he poised the forceps,
to give the patient's balls a vicious pinch.


The pinch was administered, the nervous patient's mouth 
flew open, and the tooth was easily removed.


"Didn't hurt, did it?" asked the dentist.


"Not too much," replied the patient, "but who would have 
thought the root went that deep?"

Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com

Surge Protector or Just a Power Strip
It's a good idea to plug your computer into a power strip 
that has a surge protector in it. Not all power strips have 
this feature. If your power strip doesn't state that it has 
a surge protector it probably does not and you should 
upgrade to help protect your expensive electronics. 

Thriftyfun.com
If you believe in election promises and
advertising, that is good advice. 

Just because a power bar claims to have a surge protector,
that does not mean it has an effective surge protector. A
light-weight no-name brand power bar for $2.95 - $19.95
just has a token suppressor chip that may suicide from the
surge caused by turning a big monitor on. It will just be a
handy power bar from then on, without telling you that it
no longer even detects surges.

In the class between $19.95 and $49.95 they indicate with
a flickering light that they are just a dumb power bar now.

In the heavier, above $50 class there are heavy coils and
capacitors, and often even a battery that will smooth over
short outages and flickers.

Without getting into technical details, usually the heavier
a power bar is, the more likely it has effective surge
protection.

13 things Messy Nessy found on the internet today.

Thanks to Millie for this story:
 While waiting for my first appointment in the reception room
 of a new dentist, I noticed his certificate, which bore his
 full name.

 Suddenly, I remembered that a tall, handsome boy with the same
 name had been in my high school class some 40 years ago!!

 Upon seeing him, however, I quickly discarded any such thought.
 This balding, gray-haired man with the deeply lined face was too
 old to have been MY classmate.

 After he had examined my teeth, I asked him if he had attended
 the local high school.

 "Yes!" he replied.

 "When did you graduate?" I asked.

 He answered, "In 1944."

 "Why, you were in my class!"  I exclaimed.

 He looked at me closely, and then asked, 
 "What did you teach?"

 He died on the way to the hospital.

After putting her children to bed, a mother changed into an 
old blouse and sweats and proceeded to wash her hair 
and give herself a facial. 

As she heard the children getting more and more 
rambunctious, her patience grew thin. 

Finally, she wrapped a towel around her head and, with 
cold creme on her face, stormed into their room, putting 
them back to bed with stern warnings. 

As she left the room, she heard her three-year-old say, 
with a trembling voice, "Who was THAT monfter?"

Thanks to Sandie for this story:
I walked into my sister's kitchen and found my nephew, Mitch, 
having a snack. 

"Where's your mother?" I asked. 

"She said she was going to take a shower. Just a second 
and I'll see." 

Mitch went to the kitchen tap and turned the hot water on 
full blast. 

An indignant yell came from above. 

Mitch calmly turned off the tap and said, 
"Yep, she's in the shower."
