All that might have been all right; but then, to make matters worse, I was the only one catching any fish!" ____________________________________________________ Reported by Rock An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by Daniel Ramirez, 30, Phoenix jail, Arizona, USA Man jumps out of taxiing Southwest Airlines plane A man jumped out of a Southwest Airlines airplane that was taxiing around Phoenix's Sky Harbor International Airport on the morning of Saturday, Dec. 4, the airline said. At around 8 a.m., flight 4236 coming into Phoenix from Colorado Springs experienced a 30-year-old man jumping out of a door from the back of the plane and locking himself in the fire department nearby, said Capt. Todd Keller with the Phoenix Fire Department said. The airplane's captain stopped the plane and contacted air traffic control, said Dan Landson with Southwest Airlines. Authorities arrived on the scene and the rest of the flight's passengers were able to get to their gate. "After a few minutes firefighters were able to get the adult male to unlock the door where he was then evaluated, treated and transported to a local hospital for a lower extremity injury," Keller said. It's not known why the man jumped out of the plane or what the extent of his injury is. Hours later, Phoenix Police identified the man as Daniel Ramirez. He's now booked into jail on suspicion of two counts of felony trespassing. Phoenix Police said of the incident, "We are aware of this incident, and at this time the investigation is ongoing." Keller with Phoenix Fire says the incident, although unexpected, was handled well by those involved. "They were in constant communication as soon as this person was on the runway. Sky Harbor control tower had eyes on him the entire time and thats how they notified us. It just shows you how much of a well-oiled machine they are out there," Keller said. Dealing with unruly passengers is a growing issue. As of late fall, Sky Harbor staff and police have responded to nearly 3,000 calls of disruptive customers and assaults. Nationally, the Federal Aviation Administration reported more than 5,400 unruly passenger reports so far this year. ____________________________________________________ If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! ______________________________________________________ From: Ken Re: Bidenomics in Canada? Dear Webby You probably know how we suffer under Bidenomic inflation, empty shelves and ridiculously high gas prices. Does it affect you in Canada too? Ken Dear Ken Not as bad as in the USA, but with Nuisance Newsom blocking Owner Operator truckers and keeping the freight sitting off-shore costing big money, the only beneficiaries of that insanity are state and federal governments. That drives prices up, which means more taxes collected, without honestly raising the tax rates. Your oil shortage is due to Bidet sabotaging pipelines and doing what he can to annoy the oil industry, while playing international big shot and donating oil to India and other Asian nations. We got way more than enough oil ready and waiting for the sabotage to stop. There is nothing we can do from here about what Bidet does. Re empty shelves: Talk some sense into Nuisance Newsom. Your stuff is sitting within sight of the shore, being blocked. Amazon shifted their shipping to harbors further up the coast and everything arrives as fast as it used to. Because a lot of our imports traditionally come through Mexifornia, that stuff sits out in the harbors, costing money. New orders will come through Oregon and Washington and Vancouver, but the switch will take time. In the meantime we are cussing nearly as much as you are. Have FUN! DearWebby While a Texan was busily preparing for the first day of deer hunting season, his wife started nagging that he never asked her to go along. After several hours of arguments, the wife won. That next morning they drove out to the country, and he placed his wife in a tree about 100 yards from his blind. Just as the hunter reached the blind, he heard a loud bang coming from the wife's position. As he ran up to her, he saw that she was holding her gun on a man nearby and shouting, "It's my deer! Get away from it!! The sheepish-looking stranger just nodded slowly and said, "OK, lady.. It's your deer. Just let me get my saddle off of it!" | If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! | If you like my work,

_____________________________________________ A nice lady went to the kennel where they had Schnauzer pups for sale. When she had picked one out and was ready to take it home, the kennel owner cautioned her that Schnauzers grow lots of hair in the ears, so you have to keep the ears cleared out or they will become infected. Well, the lady forgot to keep an eye on her dog's ears, and the dog developed a serious ear problem. When she took her Schnauzer to the vet, he examined the dog, and declared, "This is the worse case of hair-in-the-ear that I have ever seen!" The vet wrote out a prescription for her to have filled at the drug store. Later, as the druggest was handing her the medicine, he advised her, "If this is for hair on the leg, you mix it 5 parts water to one part of solution. If this is for hair on the under arm, you mix it 10 parts water to one part solution." She replied, "But Sir, this is for my Schnauzer!" The pharmacist replied, "Hmmm, in that case, mix it 20 to one, and don't ride a bicycle for a few days!" ______________________________________________ A real estate salesman has just closed his first deal, only to discover that the piece of land he has sold is completely under water.
