3 All Rights Reserved © 2012 SLEEP ON IT “Doctor,” the man said, “I've got a problem. Every time I get into bed, I think there's somebody under it. I get under the bed, I think there's somebody on top of it. Top, under, top, under. You gotta help me, I'm going crazy.” “Just put yourself in my hands for two years,” said the psychiatrist, “Come and see me two times a week, and I'll cure your fears.” “'How much do you charge?” “Two hundred dollars per visit,” the doctor replied smugly. Discouraged by that answer, the man replied, “I'll sleep on it.” Six months later the doctor saw the man at a store. “Why didn't you ever come to see me again?” asked the psychiatrist. “For two hundred buck's a visit? A bartender cured me for five bucks,” the man said. “Oh really?” replied the skeptical doctor, “How?” “He told me to put the mattress on the floor.” PUBLISHED AND DISTRIBUTED WEEKLY BY PASSTIMES OF ARIZONA, LLC - PASSTIMESAZ@LIVE.COM - 480.983.9143 MY MOST BRILLIANT ACHIEVEMENT WAS MY ABILITY TO PERSUADE MY WIFE TO MARRY ME.

ROOSEVELT THE MORE YOU DREAM THE MORE YOU ACHIEVE WHICH WEBSITES ARE SAFE? Getting a nasty virus is the most dreaded digital experience. I hear about it far too often from so many folks across the country and around the world! In fact, it's one of the most common topics I deal with! One of the questions I'm frequently asked is "How did I get a virus in the first place?" SOME PEOPLE ARE READY. I ENVY THEIR SOLACE. There are several places people pick them up, but the most common is from clicking a bad link on a sketchy website. These malicious sites may look like a real site, but it's just a clever disguise to hide the virus. The best defense against these types of threats, aside from keeping your security software up to date, is to just avoid those websites altogether. But how do you know which sites are bad? AVG Secure Search is a free download that scans every website before you visit it for threats to your computer or private information. Each site is given a safety rating: Safe, Risky and Dangerous. You'll know right away which sites are safe and which you should stay away from! This all happens in real time so you don't need to worry about accidentally clicking a bad link. Secure Search also lets you know where ad networks are tracking your online behavior and can notify those websites that you don't want your habits to be tracked. When you go to install AVG Secure Search, you'll be prompted to install the AVG Secure Search toolbar. This isn't an unwanted add-on: AVG Secure Search is a toolbar. By default, it will add itself to all of your browsers and reset your homepage to AVG Secure Search. If you uncheck both boxes, you won't install anything! If you wish to have the toolbar without changing your homepage, simply uncheck the home page box. This is totally safe, and will give you access to all the benefits I mentioned before. This is one of the few toolbars that you might actually want in your browser. http://www.avg.com/us-en/secure-search Please see ad above for more information and help.

My leg keeps talkin' to me.” “Don't be ridiculous!,” replied the doctor, “your leg can’t talk!” Suddenly the man’s leg twitched and a voice came from the area of his kneecap, “can you give me twenty dollars?” The man looked knowingly at the doctor and said, “I told you.” Then the leg shouted, “Give me a ten spot!” The Doctor looked faint and held onto the examination table. It was silent for a moment and then the leg said, “Five bucks, Doc, just lend me five bucks!” Suddenly the doctor began to smile. “I know your problem,” he said triumphantly, “your leg's broke!” BLOND FARMER A blond decides to start up a chicken farm, so he buys a hundred chickens to get up and running. A month later he returns to the dealer to get another hundred chickens because the first lot had died. Another month passes and he's back at the dealers for another hundred chickens. "I’m not sure " he tells the dealer, "but I think I'm planting them too deep."
