[This one made me blush! After I sent this off to the group yesterday, it dawned on me to check it with IE to make sure it was displaying properly with it like it did with my Netscape Browser. I was already what I call a dead-head after spending around 4 plus hours working on it so I hadn't thought about it. To my utter horror, I saw it loaded all messed up! I blushed as I quickly set about adding the code IE needed to make it work OK. I happened to see number 9 on the ethics code list and thought - yep - number 9 applies here for me - rright now! So for all who happened to see it all yucky - I am sorry - You will need to refresh your browser. I tend to be the one to leap first and check later to see if there is something to land on over the fence!

In 1998, a guard was caught smuggling a wad of money in his underpants out of a bank in Atlanta when a tiny dye capsule exploded, blowing a hold in his trousers. In 1998, a would be Texas grocery store robber tried to disguise his face with a balaclava, however, he failed to remove a laminated badge which bore his name, place of employment and position from his breast pocket. Police had no difficulty catching a man who stole a barge on the River Thames in 1972. There was a dock strike on that day and his was the only craft moving. The defense attorney for Tyrone Jerrols of Houston, Texas, who was facing charges of murder, filed a motion to prevent the use of Jerrol's nickname, claiming it would prejudice the jury. Jerrol's nickname is "Hitman." ================================================================ >-->From TheJokester: _|_ ____|____ #%@@ /~~~~.~~~~\ @@%# @%%#%%, /~~~~/ \~~~~\ ,%%#%%@ %%@@%%@%/~~~~/ : \~~~~\%@%%@@%% `@%%%@#@/____/ (X) \____\@%%%@#@` @@\@%%@`|.`.| ___ |.`.|`@%%@/@@ `#%/@ |:x:|| .||:x:| @\%#` || |:x:|| ||:x:| || -_|| _-|:x:||~ .||:x:|-_ ||_- !-!-!-!-!-|___||___||___|-!-!-!-!-!lc >Kids & Church...

The first man appeared nervous and finally explained that he was being transferred to LA. "I hate Los Angeles," he said. "Everything you hear about LA is bad -- smog, traffic, and worst of all, the crime. Gangs everywhere, people getting shot and robbed, things stolen, car jackings, and everyone hates everyone else." "Oh, it's not that bad," said the second man. "I live in LA myself. Most of that stuff you read is media hype. It's just not true. You'll find LA is just like any other city, anywhere in America." "Really?" responded the first. "Boy, that makes me feel a lot better. You say you live in LA -- what do you do for a living?"

He sends you on drug raids - alone. He always tells you that only wussies call for back-up. He makes up "missing persons" and then sends you to look for them. You always get the patrol car with the flat tire, no gas, a dead battery, and a broken air conditioner. He lied to you about an "officer exchange program" and put you on a plane to Siberia.

A mark which can never be chiseled away even if the years eventually pull us apart. We can take on their expressions and such the more we share of ourselves together. It's those little things about another person which can remain a part in us forever. People who we have met throughout our life become a part of the person who we are today. We learn and we grow from the relationships each one touching us in it's own special way. We laugh about spending too much time together when we think we have become like each other. But it just shows how much we've been touched by the relationship we have found with another. Those special people who can touch our lives are like precious jewels amongst life's treasures. They shine on us and leave a lasting impression and unique mark on our heart, a gift without measures. --Author Unknown -<>- () ( ) ( ) (_ _) >--\__/--< / _ _ \ /_/(. .)\_\ (-< > < >-) \ )( )( / \/\\__/_//\/ \ : / | : | \ : / / : \ \ : / ( \:/ ) ( ( ^^^ ) ) ( ( ) ) ( ( ) ) '\\|//` '\|/` W _ o _/ \// C\___/ cjr 10feb0 >Three Wishes: If I could have three wishes And wishes did come true, I would wish for blessings, To always follow you.

While other kids ate candy for breakfast, we had to have cereal, eggs, and toast. When others had a Pepsi and a Twinkie for lunch, we had to eat sandwiches. And you can bet our mother fixed us a dinner that was different from what other kids had, too. Mother insisted on knowing where we were at all times. You'd think we were convicts in a prison. She had to know who our friends were and what we were doing with them. She insisted that if we said we would be gone for an hour, we would be gone for an hour or less. We were ashamed to admit it, but she had the nerve to break the child labor laws by making us work. We had to wash the dishes, make the beds, learn to cook, vacuum the floor, do laundry, empty the trash and all sorts of cruel jobs. I think she would lie awake at night thinking of more things for us to do. She always insisted on us telling the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. By the time we were teenagers, she could read our minds and had eyes in the back of her head. Then life got really tough! Mother wouldn't let our friends just honk the horn when they drove up. They had to come up to the door so that she could meet them. While everyone else could date when they were 12 or 13, we had to wait until we were 16. Because of our mother, we missed out on a lot of things other kids experienced. None of us have ever been caught shoplifting, vandalizing other's property or ever arrested for any crime. It was all her fault. Now that we have left home, we are all educated, honest adults. We are doing our best to be mean parents just like our mom was.

He answered by saying, 'Over the years, the United States has sent many of its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked for in return is enough to bury those that did not return. You could have heard a pin drop. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Then there was a conference in France where a number of international engineers were taking part, including French and American. During a break one of the French engineers came back into the room saying 'Have you heard the latest dumb stunt Bush has done? He has sent an aircraft carrier to Indonesia to help the tsunami victims. What does he intend to do, bomb them?' A Boeing engineer stood up and replied quietly: ' Our carriers have three hospitals on board that can treat several hundred people; they are nuclear powered and can supply emergency electrical power to shore facilities; they have three cafeterias with the capacity to feed 3,000 people three meals a day, they can produce several thousand gallons of fresh water from sea water each day, and they carry half a dozen helicopters for use in transporting victims and injured to and from their flight deck.. We have eleven such ships; how many does France have?' You could have heard a pin drop. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A U.S. Navy Admiral was attending a naval conference that included Admirals from the U.S. , English, Canadian, Australian and French Navies. At a cocktail reception, he found himself standing with a large group of Officers that included personnel from most of those countries. Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks but a French admiral suddenly complained that, 'whereas Europeans learn many languages, Americans learn only English.' He then asked, 'Why is it that we always have to speak English in these conferences rather than speaking French?' Without hesitating, the American Admiral replied 'Maybe it's because the Brits, Canadians, Aussies and Americans arranged it so you wouldn't have to speak German.' You could have heard a pin drop. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ AND THIS STORY FITS RIGHT IN WITH THE ABOVE.. A group of Americans , retired teachers, recently went to France on a tour. > Robert Whiting, an elderly gentleman of 83, arrived in Paris by plane. At French Customs, he took a few minutes to locate his passport in his carry on 'You have been to France before, monsieur?' the customs officer asked sarcastically. Mr. Whiting admitted that he had been to France previously. 'Then you should know enough to have your passport ready.' The American said, 'The last time I was here, I didn't have to show it.' 'Impossible. Americans always have to show your passports on arrival in France !' The American senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then he quietly explained. 'Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in '44 to help liberate this country, I couldn't find any Frenchmen to show it to.'

Richard Bryan Smith, 41, said his neighbors, Ray and Tracy Kelly, posted flyers around the neighborhood that bore pictures of another Richard Bryan Smith who has similar features, indicating the two Smiths were one and the same, the Albany (Ore.) Democrat-Herald reported Tuesday. The second Smith is a registered sex offender in Reno, Nev., and currently resides in southern California. Smith said the Kellys have been telling locals that he and the other Smith are one and the same, the newspaper reported. "It's truly humiliating," Smith said. "It's intimidating walking down the road with my kids." The Linn Circuit Court lawsuit is seeking $150,000 for alleged defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Stalin, last czar nearly tied in fame poll Josef Stalin and Czar Nicholas II are running neck-and-neck in an online Russian poll to determine the country's most significant historical figure. The Internet poll, part of state-run TV station Russia's "Name of Russia" program, had attracted more than 2.3 million votes as of 9 p.m. Monday, with 252,360 cast for Soviet dictator Stalin and 252,262 votes cast in favor of Nicholas II, the country's last monarch, the Moscow Times reported Tuesday. Stalin had initially held a healthy lead over the czar until a glut of votes in support of Nicholas poured in thanks to a campaign on Russian social networking site Odnoklassniki.ru. As of Monday evening, Soviet leader Vladimir Lenin was in third place with 171,224 votes and folk singer Vladimir Vysotsky was in fourth with 150,405 votes. In fifth place was Peter the Great with 115,115 votes. Internationally renowned playwright Anton Chekhov and poets Alexander Pushkin and Sergei Yesenin were also in the top 50 as of Monday. Suspect claims he was checking security A man who took $3,350 in cash from a Swedish bank and subsequently returned the money claims he was just testing the bank's security. Police in Anaset said the man walked into an unlocked safe at Swedbank on Oct. 11, 2007, and walked off with the cash, but the money reappeared in the bank's mailbox the following weekend with a note, the Swedish news agency TT reported Tuesday. "I am sorry that I took the money. I feel very ashamed," the note read. Investigators said they tracked down the suspect after he was caught on security cameras entering and leaving the vault and his fingerprints were found on the note with the returned cash. Police said the man initially denied the crime, but later admitted to taking and then returning the money. However, his story changed from that indicated by the note. The suspect told officers he saw the unlocked safe and felt an impulse to check the bank's security. He said he never intended to keep the money and denied writing the apology note. The man has been arrested on suspicion of theft. -<>- >From BizarreNews: -- Man seeks career as human billboard ---------- LACONIA, N.H. - A Laconia, N.H., tattoo enthusiast said he has found a way to make extra cash from his hobby by renting himself out as a human billboard. Victor Thompson, 39, said he is charging $200 per square inch for companies to advertise their products and services with tattoos on his skin, the Boston Herald reported. "I'm getting paid to do what I like to do best," Thompson said. "It's a one- time fee and it's a lifetime advertisement." Thompson, a former restaurant employee, created www.tattmetto.com with his business partner, Josh Youssef. "He's thrilled with the idea because he's getting paid to do what he loves, which is talk to people and he's getting paid to get tattooed," said Yousse, a New Hampshire native who owns a computer store. "It's a win-win situation for him." Thompson previously made headlines when he announced his plan to tattoo his head to resemble the helmets worn by the New England Patriots, his favorite football team. "Tattoos are my life," he said. "I'm the first person in the world that's got a Patriot helmet tattoo. Now I'm the first person to be a walking billboard." -- Police: Burglars burst through wall ----------- ORLANDO, Fla. - Florida authorities said nearly $2,000 in merchandise was stolen from a video game store after break- ing though walls like Sonic the Hedgehog. The Orange County Sheriff's Office said two thieves broke through the drywall of a business adjacent to a GameStop store, sprayed a fire extinguisher to leave security cameras useless and made off with merchandise, the Orlando (Fla.) Sentinel reported Thursday. Authorities said the burglary was the latest in a string of crimes targeting Florida GameStop locations. Thieves used a similar method of breaking through the drywall of an adjacent business to burgle a Kissimmee, Fla., location in September, the Sentinel said. -- Boy uses toy radar to scare speeders ----------- LOUISVILLE, Ky. - An 11-year-old Kentucky boy who became fed up with speeding motorists on his block has taken it upon himself to brandish his toy radar gun at the roadside. Residents in the boy's subdivision have lodged numerous complaints about motorists driving as fast as 55 mph on the 25 mph road. But Landon Wilburn, 11, took matters into his own hands, The Courier-Journal newspaper in Louisville, Ky., reported Thursday. Neighbors said the boy can often be seen at the roadside holding his Hot Wheels toy radar gun -- which actually measures the speeds of the cars -- while wearing an orange vest and flashing a battery- operated flashlight with a built-in siren, the newspaper said. George Ayers, 61, a resident of the neighborhood, said he at first didn't recognize the young roadside vigilante. He said that at first glance, the 11-year-old appeared to be a police officer. "When I saw it happening, I got the biggest kick out of it," Ayers told The Courier- Journal. "People were locking up their brakes when they saw him." =============================================================== >-->From Our Friend Tony In Australia :) ((),). ))) 6(6 ((c` _e/ )))'( ((( , \ )\ \ .___,- ( )\.__,-._\ / -/ \ |( ___( /_)\ \ _____ _____ '.__,' \_\ - ` joris >The Lonely Girl Bare foot and dirty, the girl just sat and watched the people go by.

As we all know, a park full of strange people is not a place for young children to play alone. As I began walking towards her, I could see the back of the little girl's dress indicated a deformity. I figured that this was the reason the people just passed by and made no effort to help. As I got closer, the little girl slightly lowered her eyes to avoid my intent stare. I could see the shape of her back more clearly. It was grotesquely shaped in a humped over form. I smiled to let her know it was OK, I was there to help, to talk. I sat down beside her and opened with a simple Hello. The little girl acted shocked and stammered a "hi" after a long stare into my eyes. I smiled and she shyly smiled back. We talked 'til darkness fell and the park was completely empty. Everyone was gone and we at once were alone. I asked the girl why she was so sad. The little girl looked at me and with a sad face said, "Because I'm different." I immediately said "that you are!" and smiled. The little girl acted even sadder, she said, "I know." "Little girl," I said, "you remind me of an angel, sweet and innocent." She looked at me and smiled, slowly she stood to her feet, and said, "Really?" "Yes, you are, you're like a little guardian angel sent to watch over all those people walking by." She nodded her head "yes" and smiled, and with that she removed her coat and she spread her wings and said, "I am. I'm your guardian angel," with a twinkle in her eye. I was speechless. Surely I was seeing things. She said, You have always been selfish and I was assigned to you, but I remained in the background waiting for a time when you would see that there are those other than you who have problems,for once you thought of someone other than yourself, so my job here is done." Immediately I stood to my feet and said, "Wait, so why did no one stop to help an angel?" She looked at me and smiled, "You're the only one who could see me, and you believed it in your heart." And She was gone. And with that my life was changed dramatically. So, when you think you're all you have, remember, your angel is always watching over you. --- ____ (\ __ /) ( \(__)/ ) ( /<>\ ) (\/\/) Marilyn / \ Cox ( ) ~~~~ ...Aww, what a neat story!

The state voted to increase welfare payments to indigents. Hoping for a tear-jerker story, a television interviewer went into the back hills where many welfare recipients lived. ` The old woman he chose to interview lived in a one-room shack: draughty in winter; stifling in summer. Her bed was a few rough planks nailed together, with a pine-needle mattress. A couple thin blankets, and a fireplace, did little to protect her from the cold. ` Her furniture, a table and two chairs, were fashioned from the same rough wood as her bed. Some shelves held a few cans of food from the general store, a three mile walk down the road. Several jars of preserves and a few squash completed her larder. ` She had no fridge or freezer. The fireplace provided heat for cooking. With no phone or television her only connection with the outside world was an old radio that pulled in two or three local stations on a good day. ` The old woman had one convenience, running water. A crystal clear stream gurgled a short distance behind her home. ` A small garden near her back door provided fresh vegetables during the summer, and some squash and turnips for the winter. A tidy flower garden brightened the front of her house. ` The television crew arrived and set up their big expensive cameras. Their mobile station broadcast pictures of the woman and the place she called home. ` Eventually the interviewer asked the old woman, "If the government gave you $200 more each month, what would you do with it?" ` Without hesitation the woman replied, "I'd give it to the poor." ` (Author Unknown) -<..>- The Attorney (This Is So Beautiful) After living what I felt was a "decent" life, my time on earth came to the end. The first thing I remember is sitting on a bench in the waiting room of what I thought to be a courthouse. The doors opened and I was instructed to come in and have a seat by the defense table. The corner door flew open and there appeared the Judge in full flowing robes. He commanded an awesome presence as He moved across the room. I couldn't take my eyes off of Him. As He took His seat behind the bench, He said, "Let us begin." The prosecutor rose and said, "My name is Satan and I am here to show you why this man belongs in hell." He proceeded to tell of lies I told, things I stole, and in the past when I cheated others. Satan told of other horrible perversions once in my life and the more he spoke, the further down in my seat I sank I was so embarrassed, I couldn't look at anyone, even my own Attorney, as the Devil told of sins even I completely forgotten about. As upset as I was at Satan for telling all these things about me, I was equally upset at My Attorney who sat there silently not offering any form of defense at all. I know I was guilty of those things, but I did some good in my life - couldn't that at least equal out part of the harm I'd done? |\___/| / \ | /\__/| ||\ <.><.> Satan finished with a fury and said, | _ > ) \ /---- "This man belongs in hell, he is | -\/ / \ guilty of all I have charged Unknown and there is not a person who can prove otherwise." When it was His turn, My Attorney first asked if He might approach the bench The Judge allowed this over the strong objection of Satan, and beckoned Him to come forward. As He got up and started walking, I was able to see Him in His full splendor and majesty. I realized why He seemed so familiar; this was Jesus representing me, my Lord and my Savior. He stopped at the bench and softly said to the Judge, "Hi, Dad," then He turned to address the court. "Satan was correct in saying this man sinned, I won't deny any of these allegations. And, yes, the wage of sin is death, and this man deserves to be punished." Jesus took a deep breath and turned to His Father with outstretched arms and proclaimed, "However, I died on the cross so this person might have eternal life and he accepted Me as his Savior, so he is Mine." My Lord continued with, "His name is written in the Book of Life and no one can snatch him from Me. Satan still does not understand yet. This man is not to be given justice, but rather mercy." As Jesus sat down, He quietly paused, looked at His Father and said,"There is nothing else that needs to be done. I've done it all." The Judge lifted His mighty hand and slammed the gavel down. The following words bellowed from His lips... "This man is free The penalty for him was already paid in full. Case dismissed" As my Lord led me away, I could hear Satan ranting and raving, "I won't give up, I will win the next one." I asked Jesus as He gave me my instructions where to go next, "Have you ever lost a case?" Christ lovingly smiled and said, "Everyone that comes to Me and asked Me to represent them, received the same verdict as you, "PAID IN FULL." --- ...Great Stories! Thanks Viv! -<>- _._ .'

Thanks Bob! ==================================================================== >-->From ScreamOfTheCrop: We'll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes, But the plural of ox becomes oxen, not oxes. One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese, Yet the plural of moose should never be meese. You may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice, Yet the plural of house is houses, not hice. If the plural of man is always called men, Why shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen? If I speak of my foot and show you my feet, And I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet? If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth, Why shouldn't the plural of booth be called beeth? Then one may be that, and three would be those, Yet hat in the plural would never be hose, And the plural of cat is cats, not cose. We speak of a brother and also of brethren, But though we say mother, we never say methren. Then the masculine pronouns are he, his and him, But imagine the feminine: she, shis and shim! Let's face it - English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England . We take English for granted, but if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig. And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham? Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend? If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it? Teachers teach and preachers preach. Yet, if teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? Sometimes I think all the folks who grew up speaking English should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane. In what other language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? We ship by truck but send cargo by ship. We have noses that run and feet that smell. We park in a driveway and drive in a parkway. And how can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out, and in which an alarm goes off by going on.

Bruce Cameron — Please do not remove the copyright from this essay I own two cats and a dog, which I calculate gives me about two and a half pet brains to deal with. In point of fact, I don't "own" these animals at all. I pay for their food and their vet bills, I clean out litter boxes and feed them and bathe the dog when she has rolled in road kill, but the pets actually belong to my children. The cats are complex animals who have worked out sophisticated social rules between them, and who pad silently through the house in a never-ending game of Stalk-and-Pounce. The dog knocks over lamps and barks for hours at the ceiling fan. The cats are usually disappointed to see me, feeling their existence would be vastly improved if some fatal mishap would befall me so they could cash in on my life insurance. The dog loves me so heartily that she bounds over to lick my face in wet greeting even when she's only been out of sight for the few moments it took her to drink out of the toilet. The cats disdainfully inspect the food we put out for them and seem disgusted when it isn't tuna or caviar. The dog eats my shoes. I have been unable to train the cats to do anything, unless "ignore on command" could be considered a good trick. All I ever wanted them to learn was to stop streaking out the door when it opens, or, once outside, to come when called instead of fleeing out into the neighborhood and forcing the entire family to embark on a cat hunt. When it comes to the dog, I've tried to train it to do all the standard things, like "Sit," "Stay," "Speak," and "Go Outside and Retrieve the Cat." Of these, only "Speak" seems to have taken hold in its puny brain. Now I am trying to teach it "Shut Up." Whenever I try to command it to sit, holding out a morsel of food as bribe, the dog's butt is on the carpet for less than a second before it is barking, leaping to sniff my hands, turning excited circles, and drooling. So it is with a certain amount of amazement that I've recently observed that the cats have decided, on their own, to take on the task of training the dog. After my children have fled the dinner table (I am working on training them in the "Clear the Dishes" trick, but they prefer the "It's Not My Job It Is Someone Else's Turn" trick) the cats will leap up and sniff at the remains of the meal, disgusted that human beings can possibly eat anything less expensive than cat food. Then they stare over at the dog, who walks up to the table and sits down like a military K-9-back rigid, head alert, and silent . The cats inspect this performance, and, if they deem it worthy, bat down something from one of the plates, a crumb which my dog snatches out of the air like a short stop snagging a line drive. The canine instantly returns to parade rest, and the trick is repeated a few times. Then the cats glance at each other, a certain smugness in their expression, like skating coaches who have seen their protégé finally execute that triple axel. The dog watches, sensing what is coming. The cats nod and the canine rises in a motion I have never even attempted to teach her, a perfect "Sit Up," with paws held motionless in the air in front of her face. The cats have taught the dog to pray to them. With feline patience, they make the dog remain frozen in position for at least ten seconds before snaking a paw out and pitching another morsel into the canine's mouth. That's the end of the dog show, for now. The cats jump down and the dog returns to normal, literally shaking herself out of the spell and coming over to see whether slobbering on me will entice me to feed her. Next time the dog chews up one of my shoes, I'm not going bother to punish her. I'm just going to tell the cats about it.
