"Now class," she says. "We know there are 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, 24 hours in a day and 365 days in a year. So who can tell me how many seconds there are in a year?" All the kids look baffled by the question except one little fellow sitting in the back row. He raises his hand and waves it excitedly, and the teacher points to him. "All right, how many seconds are there in a year?" the teacher asks. "Twelve, ma'am," the little fellow says brightly.

Every time I come in my closet or my room or my bathroom, anywhere, I just think about it and like I remember how scary it was, 11-year-old Presley Brown said. Presley was playing on her cell phone in her Ardmore home last Monday when she spotted Race Coxs reflection in the mirror. The 26-year-old man, who fled from police on Sunday after officers tried to arrest him on two felony warrants, emerged from between her clothes and said: Dont be scared, little girl. I started screaming bloody murder, Presley told KFOR. Police were searching for Race Cox on two felony warrants before he broke into the familys home. Presleys parents heard her cries and came running. Her mother, Monica Brown, found Presley crying in the hallway. Her father, who was not identified, grabbed Cox, but he got away after a brief scuffle and fled with $100 of Presleys birthday money. Police spotted Cox walking along a nearby street the following morning and arrested him on the outstanding warrants, plus two more charges of burglary and escape from arrest. Its not clear what Cox was originally wanted for, but he remains in Carter County Jail on $40,000 bond. Brown was thankful the incident didnt take an even more terrifying turn. ______________________________________________________ Tech Support Pits >From Joanne Re: Pictures not showing in FF Dear Webby, I write my pages with FrontPage and fix them by hand. They look OK when I view them, but friends and customers tell me that most of the pictures don't show on FireFox. They also tell me that most of my links don't work. What's the problem with FireFox ? Joanne Dear Joanne It is not a problem with Firefox. It is a problem with you, FrontPage and MSIE not being up to standard. The international standards, which were set and agreed upon long before MSIE came out, stipulate that file names on the net are NOT to have empty spaces in them. Many years later, when Microsoft finally wrote MSIE, they decided that their users would be too dumb to remember that, and made it so that MSIE and FrontPage let you get away with spaces inside of names (and a few other assorted bits of sloppiness). Firefox and all the other browsers stuck to the standards. You will have to first change the file names of the pictures and the pages that you link to, and then fix all the links and picture calls. I realize, that may seem as much of a nuisance to you as if you had been told as a kid that you could bicycle on any side of the road, and now all of a sudden the big meanies tell you, with a car you have to stick to the standard, and drive on ONLY on the agreed upon side of the road. Pouting at the agreed upon standards won't help you. If you want your links and pictures to work right on all browsers, then you'll have to bring their names up to standard. Have FUN! DearWebby An extremely shy fellow brings his date a bouquet of flowers. She's so overcome she throws her arms around him and kisses him long and hard. After the kiss, red-faced, he turns and bolts for the door. "Oh, I'm sorry," she says. "I didn't mean to offend you." "You didn't," he replies. "I'm just running down to the cemetery for more flowers!" | If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! | |

He gets out and knocks at the door. An old woman answers, and the driver asks her for directions to Des Moines, Iowa. "Don't know," the woman says. The driver gets back in his car and pulls away. Then he hears voices. He looks in his rearview mirror and sees the woman and a man of about the same age waving for him to come back. He makes a U-turn and drives back to them. "This is my husband," the old woman says. "He doesn't know how to get to Des Moines either." ____________________________________________________ | | Examples of crappy design. |
One Sunday afternoon, the Pastor's wife dropped into an easy chair saying, "Boy! Am I ever tried!" Her husband looked over at her and said, "I had to conduct two special services last night, three today, and give a total of five sermons. Why are you so tired?" "Dearest," she replied, "I had to pretend to listen to all of them!" Ophelia Dingbatter's News
