The florist's son handed her a gift. She shooked it, held it over her head, and said, "I bet I know what it is - flowers!" "That's right!" said the boy, "but how did you know?" "Just a wild guess," she said. The next pupil was the candy store owner's daughter. The teacher held her gift overhead, shooked it, and said, "I bet I can guess what it is - a box of candy!" "That's right! But how did you know?" asked the girl. "Just a lucky guess," said the teacher. The next gift was from the liquor store owner's son. The teacher held the bag over her head and noticed that it was leaking. She touched a drop of the leakage with her finger and tasted it. "Is it wine?" she asked. "No," the boy replied. The teacher repeated the process, touching another drop of the leakage to her tongue. "Is it champagne?" she asked. "No," the boy replied. The teacher then said, "I give up, what is it?" The boy replied, "A puppydog!" ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ The Secretary of the Navy was inspecting a recently launched carrier. The entire crew stood at attention. "I suppose," said the Secretary jokingly to the carrier's captain, "you know the name of every man on the ship." "Yes, of course," was the captain's unexpected reply. "Aha," smiled the Secretary. "What's the name of the third man from the left there in the rear rank?" "William Jones," said the captain. The Secretary addressed the seaman himself. "What's your name, lad?" he asked. "William Jones, sir," replied Seaman Dale Abernathy, "but you can call me Bubba." ______________________________________________________ >From FB ______________________________________________________ If you like the Dear Webby Daily Humor Letter, please vote for it at the Ezine Finder: Thanks for your votes! ______________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by Maryann Christy, 54, Roselle, Illinois Woman arrested for driving with tree as hood ornament The Illinois woman, 54, is facing a drunk driving charge after allegedly plowing her car into a tree and then continuing to drive with the 15-foot accessory embedded in the vehicle's grille. Christy was nabbed in late-January after a Roselle Police Department officer spotted her driving with the tree as a hood ornament. Investigators estimated that Christy drove several miles before getting pulled over. Christy, who was navigating with the 2004 Lincolns air bags deployed, told the cop that she recalled hitting a tree, but could not remember where the 11 PM collision occurred. Christy, who was arrested a few miles from her home in Schaumburg, works as a marketing consultant, according to her LinkedIn profile. After Christy failed a series of field sobriety tests, she was arrested for drunk driving. She is next due in court in April on the misdemeanor charge. As seen above, police responding to the arrest scene made sure to photograph Christys vehicle. In addition to the DUI rap, Christy has also been cited for driving with an obstructed window, according to court records. ______________________________________________________ Tech Support Pits From: Wendy Re: Fake PayPal mail Dear Webby Since you are the expert in many fields, I need to know is this e mail is legit or not. I think not as they would have addressed me by name. I have not used PayPal in many many years so I think it's phishing. If this account number might be real, delete it out of the post. Thanks and hope you are well. Wendy PayPal Dear Client, We emailed you a little while ago to ask for your help resolving an issue with your PayPal account. Your account is still temporarily limited because we haven't heard from you. We understand it may be frustrating to haven't full access to your PayPal account. You must verify your account as quickly as possible. What's the problem? We noticed some unusual activities on your PayPal account. Case ID Number: PP-084-206-403-905 VERIFY NOW Dear Wendy That is a phony as a $3 bill or as Broom Hilda'a election promises. Don't click, just dump, and then dump the recycle bin. That "VERIFY NOW" link calls a virus and trojan into your machine. Yes, PayPal uses your name, and they ALWAYS tell you to log on, and do stuff securely on their site. They NEVER tell you to click on anything in an email. AND, PayPal does not use Nigerian grammar like "frustrating to haven't full access" DUH! Just dump it! You could forward it to spoof@paypal.com But most likely a few thousand people have already reported that. Have FUN!

[732 Posts, 97 Comments] We are lucky to have blackberries growing everywhere around us. I recently picked 20 lbs. of them and decided to make this simple blackberry sauce to put on ice cream! sauce on ice cream Ingredients: blackberries, rinsed and dried 1-2 Tbsp corn starch 1/4 cup sugar Steps: Rinse and dry the blackberries. Remove any mushy ones. drying blackberries Put the blackberries into a large sauce pan, over MED heat. Stir in corn starch, mixing well. Heat the blackberries, stirring frequently. As they cook down, the sauce will begin to thicken. Cook until desired consistency. Add sugar, to taste. Allow to cool, then use as a topping on ice cream or anything that sounds good! Blackberries and raspberries turn into a very delightful topping if you simply fill a small Glad or Tupperware container and freeze them till winter. When you are ready, thaw them out. They will shrink and soften a bit, and there will be juice at the bottom. Kids may want some sugar a dded, but most adults will like them as they are, just a tiny bit more tart than straight off the bushes. Have FUN!
