When I slipped a shoe onto one woman's foot, the end of my tie got caught beneath her heel. Unaware of my predicament, she stood up and started toward the mirror. For a few seconds, I found myself crawling along the floor beside her, trying to get her attention. "Look, Martha," her friend said.

Thanks for your votes! ___________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by Robert Carlson, 67, Iowa City, Iowa IA architect jailed for secretly recording assistant pumping breast milk The owner of an Iowa architectural firm was arrested today for allegedly hiding a camera in a conference room that was used by a female employee to pump breast milk, according to court records. Investigators allege that Robert Carlson, 67, used a spy pen to secretly record architect Jessica Clark, 32, inside the Iowa City office of the Carlson Design Team. In mid-December, as she was pumping breast milk, Clark noticed a leather portfolio with a pen attached on the seat next to her (as seen above). Upon examining the pen, Clark realized that it was actually a camera with a USB connector. When she plugged the item into a tablet, Clark found video of herself removing her bra and pumping milk. Clark subsequently informed police of her discovery, prompting an investigation that resulted in Carlson's arrest on 22 serious misdemeanor counts of invasion of privacy. Search warrants executed at Carlson's office and residence yielded electronic devices containing 22 videos of separate incidents where the female victim was recorded actively pumping breast milk. The videos showed Clark's bare breasts. When confronted by police, Carlson reportedly said he found Clark very beautiful and wanted to see what was underneath the female victim's blouse or shirt. Investigators allege that Carlson illegally recorded Clark for more than eight months last year. Seen in the above mug shot, Carlson was released this morning from the Johnson County jail. Last month, Clark filed a lawsuit against Carlson and his company. She accuses her former boss of sexual harassment, invasion of privacy, and infliction of emotional distress. DearWebby's Tech Support Pits From: Joan Re: mail sending limits Dear Webby I send a free newsletter to friends and subscribers, but no matter what ISP I try, they all either kick me out or insist that I get additional dial-up accounts. That is getting quite expensive. What ISP do you use? Joan Dear Joan My ISP is Telus, but I don't use their email. It is not reliable enough for business purposes, and they use some outgoing mail filtering that is so insane, it even filters their own support emails. If I tell somebody how to get rid of a virus, they censor it. For email I use an address on a Webby server. Get yourself a domain, and send from that. Domain names are cheap. Depending on your business or hobby, it may take a bit of searching to find a suitable one, but it is by no means impossible. I have helped people to find good names since 1992. Registering a domain name is about $15 per year, worldwide. Hosting is $5 per month and up, depending on what you want. Once you got your own domain, then YOU are the boss and you can send out your newsletter via your domain. Your ISP will never know about it. Have FUN!

Driving my friend Bill and his girlfriend to the airport, I passed a billboard showing a bikini-clad beauty holding a can of beer. Bill's girlfriend glanced up at it and said, "I suppose if I drank a six-pack of that brand, I'd look like her." "No," Bill corrected, "If I drank a six-pack, then YOU'd look like her." | If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! | |
A friend of mine is a deputy with the sheriff's department canine division. One evening, the deputy was dispatched to the scene of a possible burglary, where he discovered the back door of a building ajar. He let the dog out of his patrol car and commanded it to enter and seek. Jumping from the back seat, the dog headed for the building. After lunging through the doorway, the dog froze and backed out. My friend was puzzled until he investigated further. Then he noticed the sign on the building: "Veterinarian's office." ___________________________________________________ Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com Thriftyfun.com Guide Testing Egg Freshness By lalala... [860 Posts, 109 Comments] Checking Eggs for FreshnessWe have 2 chickens and the eggs can stack up quickly sometimes. We collect our eggs in a basket on the counter. Then when the basket gets full, we put them into a sink full of water (at least a few inches above the eggs) to check their freshness and clean them. We rarely have a bad egg that needs to be thrown away, but you can also find the ones that are the oldest and need to be used first. It's very easy to tell (see photos below): If it FLOATS, it's bad and should be thrown out. If it STANDS ON END in the bottom of the sink, it's getting old and should be used first. If it LAYS ON ITS SIDE, it's great and very fresh. thriftyfun.Com ____________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ Weather Alert FROM THE NORTHEAST OHIO WEATHER BUREAU located in Cleveland, Ohio.

Thanks to Sandie for this story: I called the local newspaper's classified section to complain about an ad I'd placed. It was obvious the person who took my information had never spent any time on a farm. "I said 'ewes,'" I argued. "Pardon?" replied the operator. "Ewes. It makes a difference to some people." The ad had read, "Sheep for sale: Used." ___________________________________________________ | Today, July 1 in 0096 Vespasian, a Roman Army leader, was hailed as a Roman Emperor by the Egyptian legions. 1543 England and Scotland signed the peace of Greenwich. 1596 An English fleet under the Earl of Essex, Lord Howard of Effingham and Francis Vere captured and sacked Cadiz, Spain. 1690 The French defeated the forces of the Grand Alliance at Fleurus in the Netherlands. 1798 Napoleon Bonaparte took Alexandria, Egypt. 1845 Uniform postal rates went into effect throughout the United States.
