 An English explorer was taking part in an expedition to the Himalayas. Led by a grizzled local guide, they ascended one of the less frequently climbed peaks. Roughly halfway up the side of the mountain, a member of the expedition came across a set of large manlike tracks in the snow.

"Yeti tracks," the sherpa said with a gruff voice as he passed them.
"One thing you must know before we proceed; DO NOT, under any circumstances, touch the yeti!"

The expedition heeded his warning and continued to climb the slope. Night fell, and the explorers set up their tents. In the dead of night, the Englishman awoke to the sound of his tent entrance unzipping. Half-asleep, he looked up to see an enormous eight-foot yeti standing above him.

In fear for his life the explorer jumped up and ran out of the tent, banging into the yeti in the process. The yeti, after being touched by the explorer let out a deafening howl and began to chase the explorer down the slope.

The explorer ran away from the camp as quickly as his legs could take him, after he rounded a corner he looked behind him to see the bounding form of the yeti still chasing him.

So the explorer continued to run, reaching the bottom of the mountain in just two days, exhausted he paused to rest awhile. After just a few moments, the explorer began to hear the soft 'thud thud thud' of yeti feet on snow,
he looked up the slope to see the yeti still chasing him and only moments away.

The explorer took off again, reaching a supply shack a couple of miles away, once there quickly buying a mountain bike and pedaling his way to the nearest town, some fifty miles away. The journey took him several days over the rough terrain and after his arrival he booked into a hotel to recuperate.

Two days later the man left his hotel to see about booking transport back to England. As soon as he turned around though he saw the form of the yeti on the horizon, bounding towards him at great speed. Horrified by this sight, the explorer hurriedly bought a car and drove it away from the village all the way to Delhi. Once he arrived, the man wasted no time in getting on the next plane to London.

After his arrival back in London, the man went back to his London home for a while to recover and to plan his next expedition. He had been there less than two weeks and was gazing out of a window when he saw a familiar
large bounding, manlike creature running down his street; the man couldn't believe it -- somehow the yeti had followed him to England!

The man had little choice but to run away again, he used any means he could, bike, car, or on foot to try to escape the yeti, but each time he looked behind him, it was just moments before the yeti came into view.

Eventually the man made it all the way to Edinburgh and from there ran into the open Scottish countryside. He continued to run but the yeti just kept getting closer and closer, and in the end the man could run no more.

With the yeti less than a minute away from him, the man finally stopped and turned around to face the oncoming creature. With the last of his strength he stood up straight as the yeti caught up with him. The eight-foot tall yeti towered above the man, who could only stare in terror. The yeti extended his hand and poked the Englishman squarely in the chest with one long finger and in a low rumbling voice the yeti said -
"TAG! - You're it!"

     Way down upon the Mississippi, two tugboat captains who had been friends for years would always cry "Aye!" and blow their whistles whenever they passed each other.

   A new crewman asked his boat's mate. :What did they do that for?"

The mate look surprides and replied,  "You mean you've never heard of  ...an aye for an aye and a toot for a toot?" 

A poet's wife uttered a curse.
"You'd rather rhyme than fill our purse."
Her husband said, mildly,
"Don't carry on wildly--
You married for better or verse."

The editor speaks out

    Welcome to the second edition of Brain Candy.

I have learned a lot about newsletters this week and hope to make this newsletter better.  I have added several new departments including Puns, Limericks and Cynic’s Corner.  Please remember that puns are supposed to be bad and make you groan.  I will probably add or take away departments as we go along.  I’d rather change a department than have to use poor quality to fill it. 

    Another addition is member sites.  If you are a subscriber and have a non-profit newsletter or site, I will tell the other members about it.  Because non-profit sites often deal with faith, religion or other areas very close to our hearts, many of you will have strong feelings either for or against.  This newsletter will not become a platform for division.  I will tell about the site as best I can and you have the freedom to go there or not.  I will treat each site with courtesy, and if you disagree with a site, remember, if you start a newsletter or website I will be as gracious to your site.  This is a good opportunity to let people know about your site.

As for business sites, I have no policy about that yet.  I may display small business sites, but no get rich quick ones.  I’m not interested in becoming an advertising newsletter, only in providing a service to my subscribers.  Only one site of any kind will be listed per issue and only for actual subscribers.

  Many newsletters offer fre.e things for new subscribers.  I will do the same, and I am currently looking for ways to provide something of value to encourage more people to subscribe.  I intend to do this differently from how I have seen it done.  I get so tired of companies who offer a special incentive to new customers (or subscribers) and ignore the ones who have been faithful over time.  So any new promotion will be offered to current subscribers first.  Those of you who subscribe and encourage me as I get this newsletter going will always be number one to me.

    If I get enough subscribers I will go start publishing twice a week.

     This week I have attached a FWD FWD of an adorable angel.  I don’t know who made her but they did a great job.

 If you have an avid reader in your family you will love the Electronics Text Center.  It has 1,800 books available for fre.e download, including a great selection of children’s classic novels.  You need to download Microsoft reader or have a Palm device for many of the books, but many others are available in text and can be read on any word processing program.  Since Microsoft Reader is available free, anyone can read these books on their home computer.  Being only text, they take up very little room on a hard drive and download much faster than an mp3 music file or a software file would.  Visit it at http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/ebooks/ebooklist.html .  Get your free Microsoft reader at http://www.microsoft.com/reader/downloads/pc.asp 

For those of you new to downloading, place your curser over the download icon at the website and right- click.  You will get a menu.  Choose the save to …feature and tell it where you want the book.  I put a folder named my e-books in the My Documents folder, and send downloaded books there.  Send them to a folder you can easily find.  Double click the Microsoft reader to install it.  Then, if you double click a book, the reader comes on automatically with the book already loaded.

Member Site of the week

   In my email with the letters from those who wanted to subscribe to this newsletter I received a newsletter called Encouragement.   It was sent to me by a new subscriber.  The newsletter is just what its name describes.  The encouragement is Bible based - with emphasis on the choices we make.  The email to sign up for this newsletter is:

e-ncouragement316@cfaith.com. 

There is a web-site associated with this newsletter.  It is a simple, easy-to-read site that focuses on Biblical encouragement

Joke of the week

A preacher wanted to raise money for his church and on being told that there was a fortune in horse racing, decided to purchase a horse and enter it in the races. However, at the local auction, the going price for horses was so high that he ended up buying a donkey instead. He figured that since he had it, he might as well go ahead and enter it in the races. To his surprise, the donkey came in third!

The next day the local paper carried this headline: PREACHER'S ASS SHOWS. The preacher was so pleased with the donkey that he entered it in the race again, and this time it won. The paper read: PREACHER'S ASS OUT IN FRONT. The Bishop was so upset with this kind of publicity that he ordered the preacher not to enter the donkey in another race. The paper headline read: BISHOP SCRATCHES PREACHER'S ASS. This was too much for the Bishop, so he ordered the preacher to get rid of the donkey. The preacher decided to give it to a nun in a nearby convent. The paper headline the next day read: NUN HAS BEST ASS IN TOWN. The Bishop fainted. He informed the nun that she would have to get rid of the donkey, so she sold it to a farmer for $10.00.

The next day the headline read: NUN SELLS ASS FOR $10.00. This was too much for the Bishop, so he ordered the nun to buy back the donkey, lead it to the plains, and let it go. Next day, the headline in the paper read: NUN ANNOUNCES HER ASS IS WILD AND FREE. The Bishop was buried the next day.

Pun of the week

A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller. He can see from her name plate that the teller's name is Patricia Whack. So he says, "Ms. Whack, I'd like a loan to buy a boat and go on a long vacation."

Patti looks at the frog in disbelief and asks how much he wants to borrow. The frog says $33,000. The teller asks his name and the frog says that his name is Kermit Jagger and that it's OK, he knows the bank manager.

Patti explains that $33,000 is a substantial amount of money and that he will need to secure some collateral against the loan. She asks if he has anything he can use as collateral.

The frog says, "Sure, I have this," and produces a tiny, pink, porcelain elephant, about half an inch tall. Bright pink and perfectly formed.

Very confused, Patti explains that she'll have to consult with the manager and disappears into a back office. She finds the manager and says, "There's a frog called Kermit Jagger out there who claims to know you and wants to borrow $30,000. And he wants to use this as collateral." She holds up the tiny pink elephant. "I mean, what the heck is this?" So the bank manager looks back at her and says:

"It's a knick knack, Patti Whack. Give the frog a loan. His old man's a Rolling Stone."

Who was eaten for lunch by a leopard.
Said the leopard, "Egad!

If you had been salted and peppered!"

FunFacts

One of the movie moguls the Marx Brothers had to deal with was Irving Thalberg of MGM. Purposefully or not, Thalberg had the annoying habit of making people wait outside his office for extended periods of time. One time he kept the Marx Brothers longer than they liked. When he finally got around to seeing them, he discovered they were stark naked outside his doorway, roasting potatoes in the lobby's fireplace. It was the last time he kept them waiting.

The editor speaks out

   This week has been another learning experience.  When I upgraded my computer I was convinced by a friend to try Windows ME.  What a disaster.  On top of the problems caused by my mailing program, I ended up with my computer freezing up every two hours.  As a result I lost data, and a few people I thought I had removed from the database received the newsletter, and a few received duplicates.  I also discovered I had a few people listed under more than one address.  If you receive more than one letter, you can tell me and that will stop.

    Finally I upgraded to XP thanks to my nephew Eric. No more crashes or freezes.  

     People keep asking where I got your addresses.  I get them from my own e-mail box.  Everyone who receives this newsletter knows someone who knows me, and I took the return addresses from my own e-mail.   So all of you are friend of friends of mine.      

 There will only be one more newsletter invitation after this one.  If you do not subscribe, you will not continue to receive it.  If you don’t have time to read it, maybe you know someone who would like this newsletter. 

  I am hoping to build up to over 200 subscribers so I can transfer this to a proper newsletter mailer.  But that won’t happen unless I can talk some of you into forwarding this letter to your friends so they can subscribe also.

This weeks Joke
One morning a blind bunny was hopping down the bunny trail, and he tripped over a large snake and fell, KerPlop!, right on his twitchy little nose. "Oh, please excuse me!" said the bunny.  "I didn't mean to trip over you, but I'm blind and can't see."

    "That's perfectly all right," replied the snake.  "To be sure, it was my fault.   I didn't mean to trip you, but I'm blind too, and I didn't see you coming.  By the way, what kind of animal are you?"

    "Well, I really don't know," said the bunny.  "I'm blind, and I've never seen myself.  Maybe you could examine me and find out."

    So the snake felt the bunny all over, and he said, "Well, you're soft, and cuddly, and you have long silky ears, and a little fluffy tail and a dear twitchy little nose... You must be a bunny rabbit!"

    Then he said, "I can't thank you enough, but by the way, what kind of animal are you?"

    And the snake replied that he didn't know, and the bunny agreed to examine him, and when he was finished, the snake said, "Well, what kind of an animal am I?"

    So the bunny felt the snake all over, and he replied, "You're hard, you're cold, you're scaly.  You must be a lawyer."

Pun of the week

The bishop decided that he would conduct the interviews for the new bell ringer personally and went up into the belfry to begin the screening process. After observing several applicants demonstrate their skills, he had just about decided to call it a day. But just then, an armless man approached him and announced that he was there to apply for the bell ringer`s job.

Incredulously, the bishop blurted out, "But. . .you have no arms!"

"No matter," said the man: "Observe!"

And he began striking the bells with his face, producing a beautiful melody on the carillon. The bishop listened in astonishment, convinced he had finally found a suitable replacement for Quasimodo.

But suddenly, rushing forward to strike a bell, the armless man tripped and plunged headlong out of the belfry window, falling to his death in the street below. The stunned bishop rushed to his side. When he reached the street, a crowd had gathered around the fallen figure, drawn by the beautiful music they had heard only moments before.

As they silently parted to let the bishop through, one of them asked, "Bishop, who was this man?" "I don`t know his name," the bishop sadly replied, "but his face rings a bell."

{WAIT! WAIT! Not through yet}

The following day, despite the sadness that weighed heavily on his heart due to the unfortunate death of the armless campanologist (now there`s a word-of-the-day...), the bishop continued his interviews for a new bell ringer of Notre Dame.

The first man to approach him said, "Your Excellency, I am the brother of the poor armless wretch who fell to his death from this very belfry yesterday. I pray that you honor his life by allowing me to replace him in this duty."

The bishop agreed to give the man an audition, and, as the armless man`s brother stooped to pick up a mallet to strike the first bell, he groaned, clutched at his chest, and died on the spot.

Two monks, hearing the bishop`s cries of grief at this second tragedy, rushed up the stairs to his side.

"What has happened? Who is this man?" the first monk asked breathlessly.

"I don`t know his name," sighed the distraught bishop...

"....but he`s a dead ringer for his brother."

This is the last letter in this invitation to subscribe.  If you do not choose to subscribe this week, you will not receive this delightful newsletter in your email next week.  I am sorry for sending it a bit late, but I wanted to have the website up and working before I sent this out.

Bits of news.  I received a warning in my email reported to come from a government agency warning about UPS uniforms having been purchased in bulk.  I was told they might be using them for terrorist activities, and to carefully check the ids of anyone who delivered anything. 

Because I want to pass on only the truth, I called the government office in question and was told that the email wasn’t from them and the facts presented in the email couldn’t be verified.  So, while checking a person’s id is important, there doesn’t seem to be a need to panic if you get this in your email box.  It is someone’s idea of a joke.

I received another warning about men coming up to women in parking lots to have them test-smell perfume.  The substance actually in the bottle is reported to be ether, and the woman passes out, and is then robbed.

This sounds like an urban legend to me, and I am still checking it out.  But honestly, with the way things are in our world, I think only a fool would smell something in a parking lot, no matter how slick the advertisement they hand you looks.  There are a lot of chemicals that are dangerous to smell.  And it could be a way to spread a disease like anthrax or smallpox.  And a legitimate business will have a place for you to look at their products, and not be forced to approach you in a parking lot.  If someone does approach you with something that interests you, make an appointment to see their products at a very public place and sniff nothing until you are sure it is safe. 

I am finally online at www.leonashappyplace.com .  At the time of this writing I am still waiting for them to finish preparing my account so I can upload my files. I am displaying last weeks braincandy. I am offering a free screensaver to anyone who subscribes to braincandy.   If you have already subscribed, you should receive your download instructions in your email within a few days.  I really appreciate all the patience you have shown as I have learned how to publish a newsletter and now a web.  I wish I had a flashy professional web for you, but in reality it is still just a simple website politely offering braincandy, my screensaver, great stories for children, and an interesting twist on traditional school photos.
