Needing to arise early the following morning, Mr. Smith left a note on his wife's bedside table that said "Wake me at six." An exasperated Mr. Smith awoke at ten the following morning and rolled stiffly out of bed to see a note on his bedside table: "It's six, you bum!

 ______________________________________________________ Reported by the Bausell Sailor An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  Stephen Daniel Stump, 36, Key West, Floriduh  Homeless man returns to the bank he robbed after getting a drink  An unarmed homeless man robbed a Key West bank Tuesday only to return when he heard the police sirens and immediately surrender, a city spokeswoman said. Stephen Daniel Stump, 36, was arrested on felony charges of robbery and falsely reporting an explosive device after police said he walked into the Centennial Bank branch at 701 Whitehead St. at about 12:30 p.m. demanding money and lying that he had a bomb in his backpack. Stump left with an undisclosed amount of cash and headed over to a Duval Street restaurant, Mangoes, and ordered a drink from the bar. He paid with a $50 bill from the robbery, telling the bartender to keep the change, said city spokeswoman Alyson Crean. When he heard sirens, he apparently returned to the bank and was apprehended. All of the money was recovered. Stump, whose ID card gave his home address as Key Wests homeless shelter, was arrested without incident and the bank building and his backpack were deemed safe by the Monroe County Sheriffs Office bomb squad. Crean said she cannot legally release how much money was stolen. She said while police were interviewing witnesses, one bank employee looked out a window and spotted Stump standing right outside. Stump walked up, put down his backpack and waited to be arrested, Crean said. The robbery shut down part of Whitehead Street for about a half-hour Tuesday while police worked the scene. He will be getting free room and board all winter at the jail.  ______________________________________________________  Tech Support Pits >From Dave Re: BleachBit versus CrapCleaner Dear Webby, Hope all is well with you and yours. In the news we hear about BleachBit how does it compare to CrapCleaner? Dave  Dear Dave CrapCleaner has been around for a long time and has been steadily improved all along. It is still free, just supported by voluntary donations. BleachBit got a lot of publicity because Hillary Clinton ordered her IT staff to clean her servers and her machines and those of Abedin, her assistant, with BleachBit, after they got almost a week's notice, that the FBI wanted to look at them. Like CrapCleaner and all utilities since X-Tree and Norton Commander in good old DOS, BleachBit too has a shredder included. Most techies prefer CrapCleaner because it has more professional tools included, but the shredder is very basic and included in all utilities. I don't remember if Hillary's server was Windows or Linux. On Linux servers you have "wipe", "srm" the Secure Remove, "shred", and a few other ones. If you have CrapCleaner, stick with it. Have FUN! DearWebby    Taking his seat in his chambers, the judge faced the opposing lawyers. "So," he said, "I have been presented, by both of you, with a bribe." Both lawyers squirmed uncomfortably. "You, attorney Morris, gave me $15,000. And you, attorney Campos, gave me $10,000. In all honesty I cannot unfairly accept two bribes." The judge reached into his pocket and pulled out a check. He handed it to Morris saying, "Now then, I'm returning $5,000, and we're going to decide this case solely on its merits!"

 This guy went to see a highly recommend psychiatrist. The doctor showed the man an inkblot and asked, "What does this remind you of?" The guy replied, "A naked woman." Then the shrink showed the man another inkblot and asked the guy the same question. The guy responded, "A naked woman on a bed." This went on and on, inkblot after inkblot. The psychiatrist finally said to the guy, "You are a sick pervert." The guy replied, "I'm not the pervert here. You're the one who keeps showing me all of those naughty pictures." --------------------------- You gotta be nuts to go see a psychiatrist!
