 Funnies!

Q: How do you keep your husband from reading your e-mail?
A: Rename the mail folder "Instruction Manual."  
Thanks Dawn.

My wife and I were sitting at a table at my high school reunion, and I kept staring at a drunken woman swigging her drink, as she sat alone at a nearby table.
My wife asks, "Do you know her?"
"Yes" I sighed.  "She's my old girlfriend.  I understand she started drinking right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear she hasn't been sober since."
"My God!" says my wife.  "Who would think a person could go on celebrating
that long?"
