Good Morning, Do, Today is Friday, February 23 Time to wear a bit of red to show your support for the troops! Just saw the headline that in Connecticut alone 97 people are now dead, 1951 hospitalized due to the new and improved flu. I wonder what the numbers are for all of North America!

The florist's son handed her a gift. She shook it, held it overhead, and said, "I bet I know what it is. Some flowers." "That's right" the boy said, "but how did you know?" "Oh, just a wild guess," she said. The next pupil was the candy shop owner's daughter. The teacher held her gift overhead, shook it, and said, "I bet I can guess what it is. A box of sweets." "That's right, but how did you know?" asked the girl. "Oh, just a wild guess," said the teacher. The next gift was from the son of the liquor store owner. The teacher held the package overhead, but it was leaking. She touched a drop of the leakage with her finger and touched it to her tongue. "Is it wine?" she asked. "No," the boy replied, with some excitement. The teacher repeated the process, taking a larger drop of the leakage to her tongue. "Is it champagne?" she asked. "No," the boy replied, with more excitement. The teacher took one more taste before declaring, "I give up, what is it?" With great glee, the boy replied, "It's a puppy-dog!" ______________________________________________________ The visiting church school supervisor asks little Johnny during Bible class who broke down the walls of Jericho. Little Johnny replies that he does not know, but it definitely is not him. The supervisor, taken aback by this lack of basic Bible knowledge goes to the school principal and relates the whole incident. The principal replies that he knows little Johnny and his whole family very well and can vouch for them, if little Johnny said that he did not do it, he as principal is satisfied that it is the truth. Even more appalled the inspector goes to the regional Head of Education and relates the whole story. After listening he replies: "I can't see why you are making such a big issue out of this; just get three quotes and fix the damned wall." _____________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ Melbourne, Australia _____________________________________________________ If you like the Humor Letter, please vote!

The first kid leans over and asks, "What are you in here for?" The second kid says, "I'm in here to get my tonsils out and I'm a little nervous." The first kid says, "You've got nothing to worry about. I had that done when I was four. They put you to sleep, and when you wake up they give you lots of Jell-O and ice cream. It's a breeze!" The second kid then asks, "What are you here for?" The first kid says, "A circumcision." The second kid says, "Whoa! I had that done when I was born. I couldn't walk for a year!" _____________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by Stephanie Roque, 30, Palm Beach, Florida Florida woman 'just out of rehab' had open 12-pack of beer, child in car A Florida woman was arrested after deputies said she drove intoxicated with a child sitting above an open case of beer tucked in the back seat. A Palm Beach County Sheriff's deputy pulled over Miami resident Stephanie Roque, 30, about 11 a.m. after she made a complete stop in her SUV in the center of a lane, the Palm Beach Post reported. The deputy said that Roque's drivers license was suspended, and noticed she had a strong smell of alcohol, the arrest report states. Roque told the deputy that she just got out of rehab today for a drinking problem, according to the report. The deputy found a child in the backseat of the car with an open 12-pack of beer sitting underneath the child's feet, the Palm Beach Post reported. Only nine of the 12 beers were in the case, the report states. The deputy had Roque perform roadside sobriety tests, and then arrested her on charges of DUI and child neglect. Roque was booked into the Palm Beach County jail and released Thursday after posting a $4,000 bond, according to jail records. _________________________________ Tech Support Pits From: From Linny Re: Moved task bar Dear Webby, I truly need help with this.

A guy walks into a bar and approaches the barman, "Can I have a pint of Less, please?" "I'm sorry sir," the barman replies, looking slightly puzzled, "I've not come across that one before. Is it a spirit?" "I've no idea," replies the guy, "The thing is, I went to see my doctor last week and he told me that I should drink less." ____________________________________________________ Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com Softer Line Dried Clothing By mamacrafter [45 Posts, 30 Comments] 22 found this helpful February 15, 2011 Do you line dry your laundry only to discover when it's dried out that it needs ironing?
