I keep putting a long on, although initially it drops (a lot yesterday) because I'm not watching it - but the time I look back in the afternoon - it recovers and is in profit.

Only small "bets" just in case it doesn't recover!

        JOKE OF THE DAY

2 Old Men
Two elderly gentlemen, who had been without sex
for several years,decided they needed to visit a whore house.

When they arrived at the house, the Madame
took one look at them and decided she wasn't going
to waste any of her girls on these two old men.

So she used "blowup" dolls instead.
She put the dolls in each man's room
and left them to their business.

After the two men were finished,
they started for home and got to talking.

The first man said, "I think the girl I had was dead.
She never moved, talked or groaned...
how was it for you?" The second man replied,

"I think mine was a witch." The first man asked,
"How's that?"

"Well," said the second man,
"when I nibbled on her breast she farted and flew out the window!"
