New boots An elderly couple is vacationing in the West. Sam always wanted a pair of authentic cowboy boots. Seeing some on sale one day, he buys them, wears them home, walking proudly.
He walks into their room and says to his wife, "Notice anything different, Bessie?"
Bessie looks him over, "Nope."
Sam says excitedly, "Come on,Bessie, take a good look. Notice anything different about me?"
Bessie looks again, "Nope."
Frustrated, Sam storms off into the bathroom, undresses, and walks back into the room completely naked except for his boots. Again, he asks, a little louder this time, "Notice anything DIFFERENT?"
Bessie looks up and says, "Sam, what'different? It's hanging down today, it was hanging down yesterday, it'll be hanging down again tomorrow."
Furious, Sam yells, "AND DO YOU KNOW WHY IT'S HANGING DOWN,BESSIE? IT'S HANGING DOWN BECAUSE IT'S LOOKING AT MY NEW BOOTS!!!"
To which Bessie replies, "Shoulda bought a hat, Sam. Shoulda bought a hat!"

Children of 11 to be fingerprinted The Sunday times march 04,2007
CHILDREN aged 11 to 16 are to have their fingerprints taken and stored on a secret database, internal Whitehall documents reveal.
The leaked Home Office plans show that the mass fingerprinting will start in 2010, with a batch of 295,000 youngsters who apply for passports.
The Home Office expects 545,000 children aged 11 and over to have their prints taken in 2011, with the figure settling at an annual 495,000 from 2014. Their fingerprints will be held on a database also used by the Immigration and Nationality Directorate to store the fingerprints of hundreds of thousands of asylum seekers.
The plans are outlined in a series of “restricted” documents circulating among officials in the Identity and Passport Service. They form part of the programme for the introduction of new biometric passports and ID cards.

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Babyshaker[/FONT] - [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]After raising more than a few eyebrows last year playing for Tronic, we were keen to ask this baby shaking breaks boy back to strut his stuff in the capital. Wicked breaks and plunging beats, IDM is pushed to its limits. Catch him live in the cozy city café with his wooly hat on![/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Ohhh!!! - Quite the eccentric of experimental electronica, Ohhh!!! samples and cuts up anything and everything from 90's pop to heavy metal and when engineered on his laptop, forms one almighty jazzed up glitchcore frenzy. Stroke your chin, nod you head or go pure mental, whatever you do, just catch him live![/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Acidfairy - Top DJ, even better live act, this talented producer has taken time out from kicking off one of Glasgow's newest techno nights 'F.O.O.D', as well as running her own radio station, to slam some beats for Tronic East. Old school acid with new school techno, we are expecting the night with Acidfairy at the controls – to end with a bang.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Satellite Dub - The man from space with a smile on his face and well known to those behind NFS and Tronic. With such a big night of live electronica hitting Edinburgh, the Dub man had to be included and will undoubtedly steam through a set of chemical style beats, producing an electronic rhythmic assault that will send you into orbit![/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The Remedies - A modern hip hop band that are old school influenced, yet completely fresh and original in their bass heavy sound. Having had loads of Radio air play last year (BBC1 Xtra & BBC Scotland) they have generated an impressive army of funk followers so don't be fooled, Edinburgh has a hip hop scene, check it oot![/FONT]
Funkspiel - Are putting the F back in fun and funk! The electro duo love a good jam and can often be found gigging in and around Edinburgh, blending acoustic with electronic synths and laying out one melodic groove. The band will be complete with vocalist on the night - tasty stuff to get your groove on.

eBay sellers cash in on charity
Quote:
A designer bag due to go on sale for charity for £5 is being touted on the auction website eBay for up to £175.
The creation by Anya Hindmarch bears the slogan "I'm not a plastic bag", and is aimed at encouraging people to reuse bags when they go shopping.
It is not officially launched until next week, but has already sold out in advance on the designer's website. Now sellers are cashing in on demand by offering it on eBay at greatly inflated prices. The bag was dreamt up by not-for-profit movement We Are What We Do, which tries to encourage people to use simple everyday actions to change the world.
They say the average Briton uses 167 plastic bags every year - 10 billion in total. The reusable cotton bag was launched at London Fashion Week and handed out to a limited number of celebrities and fashion insiders. It will go on sale in Ms Hindmarch's stores and on the We Are What We Do website on 20 March, while 20,000 will be available from selected Sainsbury's stores on 25 April.
But a number are being offered on eBay for £40 or £50 and even as much as £175, despite a notice posted by the makers warning potential buyers not to pay over the odds.
'Ripped off'
Kenny Jordan, consultant to We Are What We Do, said they were upset by what had happened and had been in touch with several sellers. "We contacted some of the sellers by email saying, 'Would you buy Comic Relief red noses, sell them and keep the profit?'," Mr Jordan said. "We did manage to get a couple of people to remove listings, but some said, 'Well we're just meeting demand.' "Our main objection is the people who claim on their listing that it has already sold out and that the only way you can get it is by paying over the odds. Their buyers are being ripped off. "People who say it is already sold out are at best being misleading and at worst telling downright lies."
I mean fair enough make yourself some pennies, but by doing it this way is wrong. Its like them people who have been selling the Dianna concert tickets! Make money make as much as you can but dont make money from a charity!!
conned Two couples were playing cards one evening. John accidentally dropped some cards on the floor. When he bent down under the table to pick them up, he noticed that Bill's wife Sue, legs spread wide, wasn't wearing any underwear! Shocked by this, John upon trying to sit back up again, hit his head on the table and emerged red-faced.
Later, John went to the kitchen to get some refreshments. Bill's wife followed and asked, "Did you see anything that you liked under there?" Surprised by her boldness, John courageously admitted that, well, indeed he did.
She said, "Well, you can have it but it will cost you $500." After taking a minute or two to assess the financial as well as the moral costs of this offer, John indicates that he is indeed interested. She tells him that since her husband, Bill, works Friday afternoons and John doesn't, that John should be at her house around 2.00 Friday afternoon.
When Friday rolled around, John showed up at Bill's house for the planned time with Sue at 2:00 PM sharp and after paying her the agreed sum of $500, they went to the bedroom and closed their sexual transaction as Sue had promised.
Afterwards, John quickly dressed and left. As usual, Bill came home from work at 6:00 PM and upon entering the house, asked his wife abruptly, "Did John come by the house this afternoon?"
A little worried, Bill's wife answered, "Why yes, he did stop by for a few minutes this afternoon."
Her heart nearly stopped when her husband curtly asked," And did he give you $500?"
In terror, she assumed that somehow he had found out, and after mustering up her best poker face, replied, "Well, yes, in fact he did give me $500."
Bill, with a satisfied look on his face, surprised his wife by saying, "Good, I was hoping he did. John came by the office this morning and borrowed $500 from me. He promised me he'd stop by our house this afternoon on his way home and pay me back."
Iraqi’s plea to US mothers Inside Iraq :hopeless:
Quote:
An Iraqi refugee has made a plea to American mothers - please don't send your sons to Iraq.
Um Sama, a teacher who had to flee her home after death threats, said the current violence sweeping her country was due to the presence of foreign troops.
She was speaking as part of http://news.sky.com/skynews/insideiraq, Sky's in-depth look at the country four years after the invasion.
Mrs Sama is a Sunni who is married to a Shia man and insists there was no sectarian violence before the 2003 US-led military campaign.
She said her home town had become "just a place for massacres" where at least 10 people were killed every day - their bodies often left where they lay.
She said: "Our area - Mahmudiya, Latifiya and Yousufiya - is called the Triangle of Death. Chaos and killings are widespread so we had to leave when they threatened us.
"Before the war life was so normal. The ties were very strong because Latifiya is a tribal area.
"But after the occupation everything changed. We started to fear things that hadn't scared us before. We became afraid because anyone might fabricate something against us."
Mrs Sama said that her marriage had not raised any eyebrows.
She said: "We started a family together and not once did we think about him being a Shia and me being a Sunni or about our neighbour being a Christian or the other one being a Kurd."
She said she and others were also suffering from rising prices and widespread unemployment.
Asked if she had a message for the American people, she said: "Naturally I send a call to the Americans, especially to the American mothers, to prevent their sons from coming to Iraq.
"Because we have been destroyed. We are wounded and we don't want those who will cause us further wounds."
