THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
Always take time to stop and smell the roses... and sooner or later,
you'll inhale a bee. 


 Lisa Burnett, 23, a resident of San Diego, was visiting her in-laws,
and while there went to a nearby supermarket to pick up some groceries.

Several people noticed her sitting in her car with the windows rolled up,
with her eyes closed, and with both hands behind her head.  One customer who
had been at the store for a while became concerned and walked over to the
car.  He  noticed that Lisa's eyes were now open, and she looked very
strange.

He loudly asked her if she was okay, and Lisa replied that she'd been shot
in the back of the head and had been holding her brains in for over an hour.
The man called the paramedics, who broke into the car because the doors were
locked and Lisa refused to remove her hands from her head.

When they finally got in, they found that Lisa had a wad of bread dough on
the back of her head... A Pillsbury biscuit canister had exploded from the
heat, making a loud noise that sounded like a gunshot, and the wad of dough
hit her in the back of the head.

When she reached back to find out what it was, she felt the dough and
thought it was her brains.  She initially passed out, but quickly recovered
and tried to hold her brains in for over an hour until someone noticed and
came to her aid.

    Oh...  by the way,  .....Lisa is blonde.

Whenever I come home from playing golf, my son always asks me excitedly, "Did you win, Dad?" I have explained to him time and time again that you're really just playing against yourself. This time the family was on vacation and I had gone out to play a round. When I returned, the kids were swimming in the hotel pool, which was full of young kids and surrounded by dozens of parents. From across the pool, at the top of his lungs, my son yelled, "Hey Dad! Were you just playing with yourself?" We checked out that night.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the mid 60s, Effie Mae of Cow Creek, Breathett County, Kentucky, was
blessed with twins.  They were not identical twins, but, none the less
twins; and the first in the family (for at least as long as anyone could
remember). Effie Mae named them Elrod and Leroy.  From the beginning they
were different.  Elrod had brown hair and Leroy red hair (Elmer, Effie Mae??s
husband, had always suspected Uncle Jed, but, had no proof).  Elrod was more
easy going and Leroy the ram bunches one.  Elrod made good grades in school
and Leroy made the basketball team.  Upon graduation from high school, Elrod
took a job as a Teller at the Jackson National Bank and Leroy lit out for
Louisville, ??to seek his fame and fortune??.  Elrod worked hard and won the
admiration of his fellow tellers and began to progress.  Leroy found a job
in the stock room of Stewart's Department Store in Louisville and worked
hard and began to progress.

By the mid 80s, Elrod had progressed through the bank and had been promoted
to Head Teller/Cashier.  Leroy had done quite well for himself and was now a
Buyer for Stewart's, and had saved himself a little money.  Leroy decided
that he needed to invest the money, and, being from Kentucky, he purchased a
thoroughbred race horse.  He stabled it at Keeneland in Lexington, KY.  He
hired a trainer,a jockey, and prepared his horse for the races.  In spring
of O87, he felt his horse was ready and entered him in the Derby Preps.  He
called Elrod and invited him to attend the races as his guest.  He also
encouraged Elrod to bet heavily on his horse.  Which, being caught up in all
of the excitement, Elrod did do.

On the day of the race, Leroy??s horse entered the starting gate and the
tension built.  "They??re Off." Leroy??s horse jumped out to a 3 horse length
lead.  As it rounded the 1st and 2nd turn, it gained and had a 5 horse
length lead down the back stretch, which it carried into the 3rd turn.  But,
upon exiting the 4th turn with a 6 horse length lead, it suddenly veered off
to the right, into the far fence, and stopped running.  Needless to say
Leroy was greatly disappointed (and Elrod was more that a little pissed).

A conversation ensued:  Leroy cried, "I cannot figure out what went wrong???
Elrod, calmly, "Maybe you need a new jockey." Leroy, "You??re right I'll get
a new jockey." A couple of weeks later, same scenario.  Ready for the race,
invite Elrod, encourage to bet, at starting gate, several lengths ahead, and
turn 4 run into the fence.

A conversation ensued:  Leroy cried, "I cannot figure out what went wrong?"
Elrod, calmly, "Maybe you need a new trainer." Leroy, "You??re right I??ll get
a new trainer." A couple of weeks later, same scenario.  Ready for the race,
invite Elrod, encourage to bet, at starting gate, several lengths ahead, and
turn 4 run into the fence.

By now, Leroy is beside himself.  He has tried everything, but, his horse
keeps veering into the right hand fence off of turn 4.  "What can I do?"
Elrod, calmly, "Why don't you try putting a piece of lead in the horse's
left ear." Leroy thinks, "That is a great idea.  With the lead in the left
ear, the horse's head will be pulled/tilted to the left, and it will follow
closer to the left rail (fence), and on to the finish line.  But, how do I
put the lead in the horse's left ear?" Elrod, "With a gun!" Upon which he
got in his Ford pick-up and drove back to Jackson, KY.

A few months later, Leroy had to make a buying trip to Paris and he called
Elrod for a favor.  He has a pet cat and would appreciate it if Elrod would
take care of it while he was gone.  And, he will let Elrod use his BMW while
he was gone.  Agreed.  Elrod takes the Greyhound to Louisville and meets
Leroy.  Instructions are given and Elrod heads back to Jackson with the BMW
and the cat.  About 2 hours later, Leroy gets a telephone call from Elrod.

Elrod explains, 'I needed to go the bathroom, stopped the car, went into a
corn field to piss, and upon return, discovered that I had locked the car
and cannot get back into the car.  Do you have an extra key?" Leroy, "Sure I
do, but, I'll call AAA and have them come to help you." Elrod, "Better tell
them to hurry.  It??s getting ready to rain and I need to get into the car to
put the top up." Anyway, After Leroy gets to Paris, he calls Elrod.

Leroy, "How is my cat?" Elrod, "it's dead." Leroy is so upset that he hangs
up.

Leroy calls back, "Elrod!  You are so rude and crude.  You did not have to
give me the notice so badly.  You could have taken into account my
sensitivity and tried to ease my suffering.  You could have answered me that
my cat had been upon the top of the house and fallen off.  That you had
taken it to the Vet for treatment.  And, the next time I called you could
have told me that the cat was not doing very well.  And, the next time I
called you could have told me that the cat had expired.  But, No!  You had
to be up front and crude!" "By-the-way, How??s Mom?" Elrod replied, "She??s up
on top of the house."

Let's face it, by the second grade you can no longer do the math. We didn't have that stuff in college. It is truly a shame when your seven-year-old son says, "Daddy, will you check my math?" and you have to lie and say, "I trust you, son."

A recent transplant to the mountains of North Carolina writes:

The folks around these parts have a peculiarity that drives me nutty. You
ask them an "either/or" question, and their answer is-- "That'll be fine!"


I asked a lady the other night who was coming through my register at
Wal-Mart, "Ma'am, would you like your milk in a bag or not?"


"That'll be fine," was her reply.
I looked quizzically at her, and asked, "Does that mean 'yes' or 'no'?"


"I said that that'll be fine," was her answer. Since I was holding it up in
my hand, out of a bag, I decided to assume that "that" in this case meant
"that naked jug of milk that you're holding in your hand, not in a bag."

This feeling was further reinforced by a slight nod of the head towards the
jug just as she said the word "that'll."  I set the jug in the buggy without
putting it in a sack.

"I *said* I wanted it in a bag," she complained. "You want me to shout it or
write it down for you?

"That'll be fine!" I replied.

George and Laura Bush and Bill and Hillary Clinton are traveling by train to
the Super Bowl. At the station, George and Laura each buy a ticket and watch
as Bill and Hillary buy just one ticket.
"How are the two of you going to travel on only one ticket?" asks George
astonished at what he is seeing.
"Watch and learn," answers Hillary.
They all board the train. George and Laura take their respective seats but
Bill and Hillary cram into a toilet together and close the door.
Shortly after the train has departed, the conductor comes around
collecting tickets. He knocks on the toilet door and says, "Ticket, please."
The door opens just a crack and a single arm emerges with a ticket in hand.
The conductor takes it and moves on.
The Bushes see this happen and agree it was quite a clever idea,
so after the game they decide to try a similar plan on the return trip.
When they get to the station they see the Clintons at the window
buying a single ticket for the return trip. To their
astonishment, the Clintons   see that the Bushes don't buy any ticket at
all.
"Aren't you taking a terrible chance by traveling without a
ticket?" says Hillary.
"Watch and learn," answers Laura Bush.
When they board the train the Bushs cram themselves into a toilet and the
Clintons cram into another toilet just down the way. Shortly after the
train is on its way, George W. leaves their toilet and walks over to the
toilet in which the Clintons are hiding.
George W. knocks on their and says, "Ticket, please."
(And you're still trying to figure out how the Democrats lost that
election.)

When you call us to have your computer moved, be sure to leave it buried
under half a ton of postcards, baby pictures, stuffed animals, dried
flowers, bowling trophies and children's art. We don't have a life, and we
find it deeply moving to catch a fleeting glimpse of yours.

Don't write anything down. Ever. We can play back the error messages from
our video recording.

When an IT person says s/he's coming right over, go for coffee. That way you
won't be there when we need your password. It's nothing for us to remember
300 screen saver passwords.

When IT Support sends you an e-mail with high importance, delete it at once.

We're just testing.

When an IT person is eating lunch at his desk, walk right in and spill your
problems right out. We don't even like eating food, we exist only to serve.

Send urgent e-mail all in uppercase. The mail server picks it up and flags
it as a rush delivery.

When we do something as a favour in our own time at our own expense, feel
free to criticise us.

That's OK, we don't expect you to lift anything or get under your desk.
Manual labour was part of our IT degree.

When the photocopier doesn't work, call Computer Support. There's
electronics in it.

When you're getting a NO DIAL TONE message at home, call Computer Support.

We can fix your telephone line from here.

When something's wrong with your home PC, dump it on an IT person's chair
with no name, no phone number and no description of the problem. We love a
puzzle.


When an IT person tells you that computer screens don't have cartridges in
them, argue. We love a good argument.

When an IT person tells you that he'll be there shortly, reply in scathing
tone of voice: "And just how many weeks do you mean by shortly?"

That motivates us.

When the printer won't print, re-send the job at least 20 times.

print jobs frequently get sucked into black holes. When the printer still
won't print after 20 tries, send the job to all 68 printers in the company.
One of them is bound to work.

Don't learn the proper name for anything technical. We know exactly what is
meant by "my thingy blew up".

When you call someone in to fix a problem - but don't tell them about the
other 10 problems until they physically arrive.

That's OK - we can clear our schedule for the rest of the day.

Don't use on-line help. On-line help is for wimps.

When your application can't do what you want... blame us, we write all the
software that runs on your PC and can customise it on the fly. Bill Gates
lets us do this.

Remember the IT guy doesn't need to think - he has seen every problem
before.

If the mouse cable keeps knocking down the framed picture of your dog, lift
the computer and stuff the cable under it. Mouse cables were designed to
have 20 kg of computer sitting on top of them.

If the space bar on your keyboard doesn't work, blame it on the
mail/NT/network upgrade. Keyboards are actually very happy with half a pound
of muffin crumbs and nail clippings in them.

When you find an IT person on the phone, sit uninvited on the corner of
their desk and stare at them until they hang up.

Feel perfectly free to say things like "I don't know nothing about that
computer crap." We don't mind at all hearing our area of professional
expertise referred to as crap.

When you need to change the toner cartridge in a printer, call IT Support.
Changing a toner cartridge is an extremely complex task, and Hewlett-Packard
recommends that it be performed only by a Professional engineer with a
Master's degree in nuclear physics.

When you think the network/e-mail/office application is going slow, call us
as we have a button to press that makes it go back to it's normal speed.

When something's the matter with your computer, ask your secretary to call
the help desk. We enjoy the challenge of having to deal with a third party
who doesn't know about the problem.

The instant you call us (on our mobile) - we can see what's happening on
your screen and can solve it instantaneously.

Be aware that IT people don't need to use the toilet. So you have a right to
be upset if we don't answer the phone.

When you receive a 30MB movie file, send it to everyone as a mail
attachment. We've got lots of disk space on that mail server.

When an IT person gets in the lift pushing ??100,000 worth of Computer
equipment on a trolley, ask in a very loud voice, "Good grief, you take the
lift to go DOWN one floor?"

A man asked his wife, "What would you most like for your birthday?"

She said,..... "I'd love to be ten again."

On the morning of her birthday, he got her up bright and early and
off they went to a theme park. He put her on every ride in the park,
the Death Slide, The Screaming Loop, the Wall of Fear. Everything
there was, she had a go. She staggered out of the theme park five
hours later, her head spinning and her stomach upside down.

Into McDonald's they went, where she was given a Double Big Mac
with extra fries and a strawberry shake. Then off to a theater to
see Star Wars-more hot dogs, popcorn, cola and sweets.

At last she staggered home with her husband and collapsed into bed.
Her husband leaned over and asked, "Well, dear, what was it like
being ten again?"

One eye opened and she groaned, "Actually I meant dress size."

As program director for a boys and girls club, I planned to have a "kids' day" that would be held in conjunction with the town's harvest festival, and we were going to make candy apples. In answer to my request, a local apple company, had faxed me their agreement to make a donation of 50 apples.

A few days before the event, I called the outlet I had been advised to contact and asked to speak to Paula Red. The receptionist didn't reply, so I explained why I was calling and read the fax telling me to ask for Paula Red. The lady started laughing. "'Paulared' is the name of an apple variety," she explained.

The customer at the Italian restaurant was so pleased with his meal that he
asked to speak to the chef. The owner proudly led him into the kitchen and
introduced him to the chef.

There once was a lady who was very concerned about her missing parrot. Not knowing what to do, she called 911. "You gotta help me find my parrot!" The operator patiently replied, "We can't help you with that, ma'am. This number only deals with emergencies." But the lady persisted, and then the operator told her not to be concerned, that the parrot should fly back in a few days. Then, out of desperation, the lady begged, "But you don't understand!

The only thing he says is "Here, kitty, kitty!!!"

Bank Gives 'Cock and Ball' the Shaft ------------  

AIREDALE, Yorkshire - A Yorkshire bank denied putting a gun  
club in a compromising position due to its vulgar name. The  
members of The Cock, Ball, Nipple and Touchhole Club were  
shocked when their eight-year-old bank account was shut down  
when it went just slightly overdrawn and thought it was  
because of their rude-sounding name. Bank officials claim  
it was closed simply because it was overdrawn and "was in  
no way influenced by the group's name or its activities."  
Despite how it can be interpreted, the terms cock, ball,  
nipple and touchhole are all parts on an antique rifle,  
although members admit that some people do assume they are  
an 'adult' organization.

Luckily, a trained first-aider was near by and raced to help

MUSKEGON HEIGHTS, Michigan - Apparently Domino's Pizza

the front apartment. A woman who appeared to be intoxicated  
or high on drugs reportedly came out of the apartment and  
offered to perform a sex act for the food. As he tried to  
pull away to get back to his car, the woman bit him on the  
arm, then climbed through his window and allegedly grabbed

**** HEALTH NEWS ****
 Parkinson's vaccine tried in mice  

SAN DIEGO, -- Researchers say that a vaccine shows promise  
at fighting diseases like Parkinson's in mice. The work by  
Leslie Crews of the University of California, San Diego,  
and her colleagues centers around abnormal protein aggre-  
gates in the brain known as Lewy bodies that form in vic-  
tims of Parkinson's and similar diseases, Nature reports.  
Researchers created a vaccine based on the protein found  
in Lewy bodies and discovered that about half the mice  
given monthly injections produced high levels of anti-  
bodies. After eight months, older mice that had been  
receiving monthly injections had levels of the abnormal  
protein that were 47 percent lower. There are a number of  
barriers to creating a vaccine that could be used to treat  
or prevent Parkinson's in humans. One is that mice do not  
develop Parkinson's itself, and another is that experts  
are still unsure if Lewy bodies are a cause or a result of  
the disease.

 Short stress boosts mice immune systems  

COLUMBUS, Ohio, -- Scientists at Ohio State University have  
found that mild psychological stress can increase immunity  
-- at least in mice. New Scientist reports that Firdaus  
Dhabhar and Kavitha Viswanathan injected a group of mice  
with a protein that triggers an immune response. Half the  
mice were put in small unfamiliar cages for more than two  
hours before the injection while the other half remained in  
their familiar cages. Nine months later, the scientists in-  
jected the mice again. Those that had been in the small  
cages before their first injection showed more inflammation  
than the others, suggesting that their immune systems were  
reacting more strongly. Whether the results will be valid  
for humans is a matter of debate. Bruce Rabin of the  
University of Pittsburgh Medical Center told New Scientist  
that people seem to react to any kind of stress the same  
way, at least as far as their immune systems are concerned.  
"In humans, even a short stressor is suppressive to the  
immune system," he said.

Slow walking better for obese  

BOULDER, Colo., -- A University of Colorado study finds that  
the best exercise bet for the obese may be walking long dis-  
tances at a leisurely pace. Ray Browning, a doctoral student  
at the University of Colorado at Boulder, said that his  
studies show that the obese burn more calories per mile when  
they adopt a speed below their normal pace. He said that slow  
walking as an additional benefit -- placing less stress on  
knee joints. Browning and his colleagues found, to their sur-  
prise, that the number of calories burned per pound of body  
weight was the same for the obese and subjects of normal  
weight. Some researchers had believed that the obese would  
have to use an awkward stride, burning more calories. "The  
subjects probably are unwittingly altering their posture and  
walking with straighter legs, conserving calories in the  
process," Browning said. Because slow walking does not con-  
tribute to cardiovascular fitness, Browning recommended that  
the obese also adopt some form of vigorous low-impact exer-  
cise like swimming or cycling. The study was presented at  
the June meeting of the American College of Sports Medicine  
and published in the journal "Obesity Research."

**** TODAY'S USELESS FACT ****

Why do we have daylight saving time?

Moving our clocks an hour ahead means more sunlight later in the day. Aside from its obvious brightening effect, this act of time trickery also conserves energy. By "springing ahead," we shorten the peak period when electricity is needed to power lights, televisions, and other appliances before bedtime. Benjamin Franklin was the first to suggest the idea in his essay, "An Economical Project." But William Willett is considered the originator of daylight savings. He started the campaign that led to "summer time," ratified in the U.K. in 1916. European countries adopted daylight saving time over the next two years, and the United States followed with an act in 1918, though the new system was practiced inconsistently.

In 1966, the U.S. Uniform Time Act established a set pattern for observing daylight saving time across the country. The act was revised in 1986, moving the start date a month earlier to the first Sunday of April. This saves an additional 300,000 barrels of oil each year.

Approximately 70 countries observe daylight saving time, but the start and end dates vary. And countries near the equator don't participate since their daylight hours change minimally throughout the year.

LAST CALL Y'ALL
He's in deep dooey
The gent looked a bit out of place in a three piece business suit,
carrying a brief case, in the garden flower section of our local nursery
on an early Monday morning -
I heard the clerk telling him, "Sorry, we don't have any potted pink
geraniums. Could you use African violets?"
He dejectedly mumbled,  "No, it was geraniums my wife told me to water
while she was away."
