 Today's Bonehead Award: Florida man had sex with stuffed toy at Target  _______________________________________________ If you like the Humor Letter, please vote!  _______________________________________________ Men who never get carried away should be. --- Malcolm Forbes It is not who is right, but what is right, that is of importance. --- Thomas Huxley _______________________________________________ An old farmer in Georgia had owned a large farm for several years. He had a large pond in the back, fixed up nice; picnic tables, horseshoe courts, basketball court, etc. The pond was properly shaped and fixed up for swimming when it was built. One evening the old farmer decided to go down to the pond, as he had not been there for a while, and look it over. As he neared the pond, he heard voices shouting and laughing with glee. As he came closer he saw it was a bunch of young women skinny dipping in his pond. He made the women aware of his presence and they all went to the deep end of the pond. One of the women shouted to him, "We're not coming out until you leave!" The old man replied, "I didn't come down here to watch you ladies swim naked or make you get out of the pond naked." "I'm just here to feed the alligators." ________________________________________________`   ____________________________________________________

 ___________________________________________________  An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  Cody Christopher Meader, 20, St. Petersburg, Floriduh  Florida man had sex with stuffed toy at Target  A Florida prosecutor yesterday filed a misdemeanor criminal count against the 20-year-old man arrested last month for allegedly engaging in sexual conduct with a pair of large stuffed animal toys at a Target store. A misdemeanor information charges Cody Christopher Meader with criminal mischief in connection with the October 22 incident at a Target about 10 miles from his St. Petersburg residence. The December 5 information accuses Meader, seen at right, of willfully and maliciously damaging Target goods by ejaculating on the merchandise. The court filing notes that damage to said property being $200.00 or less. Meader, who is free on $150 bond, is scheduled for arraignment on January 6. According to a police report, Meader arrived at Target around 2 PM and approached a display featuring characters from the Disney film Frozen. He then selected a large Olaf stuffed animal and placed it on the floor. Meader proceeded to dry hump the cinematic snowman until he ejaculated on the merchandise. Upon returning the soiled stuffed animal back to a merchandise rack, Meader entered the toy department. There, cops allege, he selected a large unicorn stuffed animal and began to 'dry hump' this item. After being detained by police inside Target, Meader reportedly admitted to doing 'stupid stuff' and admitted that he had 'nutted' on the Olaf stuffed animal. The Olaf and unicorn dolls were removed from the store floor and destroyed, according to cops.

 Returning home from work, this lady in Baltimore, a town famous for their excellent K-9 police squads, had been shocked to find her house ransacked and burglarized. She telephoned the police at once and reported the crime. The police dispatcher broadcasted the call on the channels, and a K-9 unit patrolling nearby was the first on the scene. As the K-9 officer approached the house with his dog on a leash, the woman ran out on the porch, clapped a hand to her head and moaned, "I come home from work to find all my possessions stolen, I call the police for help, and what do they do? They send a BLIND cop!"

 The kindergarten class had a homework assignment to find out about something exciting and relate it to the class the next day. When the time came for the little kids to give their reports, the teacher was calling on them one at a time. She was reluctant to call upon little Johnnie, knowing that he sometimes could be a bit crude. But eventually his turn came. Little Johnnie walked up to the front of the class, and with a piece of chalk, made a small white dot on the blackboard, then sat back down. Well the teacher couldn't figure out what Johnnie had in mind for his report on something exciting, so she asked him just what that was. "It's a period," reported Johnnie. "Well I can see that," she said. "But what is so exciting about a period." "I haven't got a clue," said Johnnie, "but this morning my sister said she missed one. When he heard that, Daddy had a heart attack, Mommy fainted, and Revernd Hibbert next door left for a mission in Africa." 
 What's the Heirloom Christmas Book about? It is a BIG e-book with all the stories, that your great grandmother recited or read to your grandmother, when she was a kid. I want these stories to be preserved. You may know what it is about, when somebody mentions "bittersweet love like in 'The Gift Of The Magi'," but with today's education, your kids or even their teachers, probably don't know. So I collected these classics and put them all together into one e-book. This book of Christmas Stories is a cultural treasure, that should be passed on to our descendants. Since it is in e-book format, you can put it onto a CD for each kid, and fill the rest of the CD with family pictures and other keepsakes, making it a true heirloom. I have produced a smaller version last year. This final edition has more stories and illustrations, but I kept the price down to the same $10. The Heirloom Christmas Book also makes a nice Christmas gift!

If you do, they will become tough and will shrivel. Very little liquid is needed in any recipe in which you use mushrooms, because they themselves are ninety percent water.

New hurricane on Jupiter
 ___________________________________________________ A white haired man walked into a jeweler's shop late one Friday, with a beautiful young lady on his side. "I'm looking for a special ring for my girlfriend" he said. The jeweler looked through his stock, and took out an outstanding ring priced at $5,000. "I don't think you understand ... I want something very unique," he said. At that, the jeweler went and fetched his special stock from the safe. "Here's one stunning ring at $40,000." The girls' eyes sparkled, and the man said that he would take it. "How are you paying?" "I'll pay by check, but, of course, the bank would want to make sure that everything is in order, so I'll write a check and you can phone the bank tomorrow, then I'll fetch the ring on Monday". Monday morning a very irate jeweler phones the man. "You crook, you lied. There's no money in that account." "I know, but can you imagine what a fantastic weekend I had? ___________________________________________________ There was a very wealthy 70 year-old man who had just married a beautiful 25-year-old young lady. One of his long time friends said to him, "How did you get that gorgeous woman to marry a 70 year-old guy like you?" The man leaned over and whispered to his friend, "It was easy. I simply told her that I was 90 and had heart problems, and she instantly fell in love with me." ___________________________________________________ Answering machine message: "This is the microwave.
