He said to tell you that since I'm now 18 this is the LAST child support payment he'll ever have to make to you. Now I'm supposed to stand back and watch the expression on your face." MOTHER: "Next time you visit your father tell him that after 18 years I have decided to inform him that he's not your father.

Nothing that what the clerk produced was exactly what the woman wanted, in a fit of exasperation, the pernickety woman said in annoyance, "Isn't there a smarter clerk to serve me?" "No," said the clerk. "When the smarter clerk saw you coming, he ran and took an early lunch!" ________________________________________________ Thou shalt not weigh more than thy refrigerator.

"Uh, I hadn't really thought about it" replied the stunned surgeon. "You're the first one ever to ask that after a nose job." ___________________________________________________ It was testimony night in the church. A lady got up and said, "We are living in a wicked land where sin is on every hand. I have had a terrible fight with the old devil all week." Whereupon her husband, who was sitting glumly by her side said, "It's not all the devil's fault; she's not that easy to get along with either on some days." __________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by Miles Pfeffer, 18, Philadelphia, USA Suspect, 18, charged with murder in Temple University officer's shooting death An 18-year-old suspect will be charged with murder in the tragic shooting that killed a Temple University police officer in the line of duty near the school's campus Saturday night, according to the District Attorney's Office. Police say the officer was trying to intervene in a carjacking in the area of 18th Street and Montgomery Avenue in North Philadelphia when he was shot. He later died at Temple University Hospital. The deceased officer has been named as Chris Fitzgerald by local authorities and Temple University. The husband and father had been with the university's police force since October 4, 2021. The suspect, identified by authorities as 18-year-old Miles Pfeffer, was arrested on the 2300 block of Quarry Road in Bucks County around 7 a.m. Sunday. Pfeffer was transported to Philadelphia Police headquarters where he is awaiting several charges, including murder of a law enforcement officer, robbery and carjacking, according to the DA's office. According to a probable cause affidavit obtained by FOX 29, the suspect was seen in video surveillance firing a handgun at the officer after a foot pursuit and brief struggle. When Officer Fitzgerald falls to the ground, the suspect "stands over him and fires several more shots into the face and head area." Authorities say the suspect tried to steal the officer's gun and a vehicle after the deadly shooting. He is reportedly heard saying, "Give me the keys, or Ill kill you," before stealing a car and fleeing during video described in the affidavit. The affidavit goes on to say that the suspect was later picked up by his mother at 29th Street and Ridge Avenue, and driven their home in Bucks County where he was taken into custody. He was also reportedly identified by his brother, who the affidavit claims was with the Pfeffer when Officer Fitzgerald initially tried to stop him. ____________________________________________________ Two nuns are ordered to paint a room in the convent, and the last instruction of the Mother Superior is that they must not get even a drop of paint on their clothes. After conferring about this for a while, the two nuns decide to lock the door of the room, strip off their clothes, and paint in the nude. In the middle of the project, there comes a knock at the door. "Who is it?", calls one of the women. "Blind man," replies a voice from the other side of the door. The two women look at each other and shrug, and, deciding that no harm can come from letting a blind man into the room, they open the door. "Wow," says the man, "nice to see you! Where do you want these venetian blinds?" _____________________________________________________ Linda and Jill are having coffee when Linda notices that Jill seems troubled and asks her, "Is something bugging you? You look anxious." "Well, my boyfriend just lost all his money and life savings in the stock market," Jill explained. "Oh, that's too bad," Linda sympathized. "I'm sure you're feeling sorry for him." "Yeah, I am," Jill said. "He'll miss me." _________________________________________________ DearWebby's Tech Support Pits from: Janice Re: Batteries Dear Webby Your Humour letter always cheers me, no matter the mood before. Thank you!!! Even though you have had a great tragedy. My condolences to you. I have a noncomputer question that has puzzled me for a long long time. Since car batteries die in the extreme cold, why don't the little batteries (ie A, AA, AAA, B, C, D, etc.) die in the refrigerator? I have heard that they even rejuvenate in the fridge or freezer. Can this be? You stated you take the cap lock off your keyboards? Does that harm anything? Mine has been dealing me fits lately! (Sexy) Janice Dear Sexy Janice Fully charged car batteries are just fine in extreme cold. Extremely cold car engines are hard to start and often drain the battery, before the engine starts. At -45 it is a good idea to restart the engine every 4 hours, so that it does not get too cold. Dry cell or Alcaliine Batteries are a different story. They age and slowly deteriorate sitting on a warm shelf. They deteriorate not quite as fast while in a fridge. It does not really rejuvenate them, just slows down their aging. Prying the CAPS LOCK key off the keyboard and gluing it onto the coin operated COPY machine at Walmart will NOT hurt your computer, but will reduce your cussing quite significantly. Have FUN!
