A husband and wife are driving and they get pulled over by a
policeman.  The policeman gets to the car and asks for the man's
license.

The man replies,"Why do you need my license?  What did I do wrong?"

The policeman answers,"You were traveling 45 mph in a 30 mph zone."

"Come on, officer," the man replies,"You know I was only going 35."

"No you weren't!" quips the wife,"I told you you were speeding!  I
told you not to go fast.  I knew you'd get a ticket!"

"Shut Up!" grunts the husband.

The policeman continues,"I'm also am charging you for going through
a red light."

"Officer," the man explains, "you know as well as I, that light was
yellow - not red."

The wife pipes in,"No, it was most definitely red - I told you it
was red - I told you."

At this point the husband is infuriated.  He yells at his wife,
"SHUT UP!"

The policeman exclaims,"Hey! stop yelling at your wife!"  He then
turns to the wife and asks,"Does he always talk to you this way?"

She calmly replies,"No, only when he's been drinking."

Cat on a walk forces thief to turn tail
--------------------------------------

Sometime in january this year....

Moscow -- A thief who fancied an attractive fur hat on the head of a
passer-by got more than he bargained for when he tried to snatch it.

which sunk its jaws and claws into the thief, who quickly turned
tail, the local paper Vologodskiy Novosti (quite a mouthful, eh?;) )
said in Vologda in north-east Russia.

"There is no animal more frightening than a cat, especially on it's
master's shoulders," the paper noted.

The cat's owner had taken his pet on his walk as added protection
against the freezing weather.

teeth into his head and torso "while I just tried to get if off me so
I could pull up my trousers."

he encountered a fox tried to roar like the lion -- but it came out a

computers?

Beverly Hillbillies-

Miss Jane tries to convince Mr. Drysdale to network all the PCs in the
bank, but, typically, he won't spend the money. Frustrated, Miss Jane
pleads with Jed Clampett to persuade Mr. Drysdale to "put in the LAN,"
but Jed thinks she said "put in the ham." Jed then gets Granny to cook
up a dozen hams and has Jethro and Ellie Mae bring them to the bank.
When they arrive, everybody is out to lunch, so Jethro begins to
distribute the hams, but is frustrated when he can't get the coaxial
cable to stay attached to the ham bone. To further complicate matters,
Ellie May has brought along her pet goats, which begin to eat the ham
and cable, causing the the VAX to short out and force an emergency
electronic fund transfer of the Clampett millions to a competitive
bank. As Mr. Drysdale is seen chasing Miss Jane down the hall with a
crazed look in his eye, swinging a ham at her, Jed is heard to remark,
"Weee- doggie! Why look at that Granny. Mr. Drysdale is so happy about
whut we done, he's gonna give Miss Jane her own ham!"

replacement. Meanwhile, Ted begins his broadcast and notes that "We

PC!" Frantic, Mary calls long distance over crystalline fiber optic
