 Today's Bonehead Award: Utah man assaults McDonalds workers  _______________________________________________ If you like the Humor Letter, please vote!  _______________________________________________ Drugs have taught an entire generation of Americans the metric system. --- P. J. O'Rourke (1947 - ) _______________________________________________ MONDAY: It's fun to cook for Bob. Today I made angel food cake. The recipe said beat 12 eggs separately. The neighbors were nice enough to loan me some extra bowls. TUESDAY: Bob wanted fruit salad for supper. The recipe said serve without dressing. So I didn't dress. What a surprise when Bob brought a friend home for supper. WEDNESDAY: A good day for rice. The recipe said wash thoroughly before steaming the rice. It seemed kinda of silly but I took a bath. I can't say it improved the rice any. THURSDAY: Today Bob asked for salad again. I tried a new recipe. It said prepare ingredients, then toss on a bed of lettuce one hour before serving. Which is what led up to Bob asking me why I was rolling around in the garden. FRIDAY: I found an easy recipe for cookies. It said put all ingredients in bowl and beat it. There must have been something wrong with this recipe. When I got back, everything was the same as when I left. SATURDAY: Bob did the shopping today and brought home a chicken. He asked me to dress it for Sunday (oh boy). For some reason Bob keeps counting to ten. SUNDAY: Bob's folks came to dinner. I wanted to serve roast. All I could find was hamburger. Suddenly I had a flash of genius. I put the hamburger in the oven and set the controls for roast. It still came out hamburger, much to my disappointment. GOOD NIGHT DEAR DIARY: This has been a very exciting week. I am eager for tomorrow to come so I can try out a new recipe on Bob. If we could just get a bigger oven, I would like to surprise him with Chocolate Moose. ________________________________________________`   ____________________________________________________

 ___________________________________________________  An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  Victor Jimmy Castro, 28, Layton, Utah  Utah man assaults McDonalds workers  Two McDonald's employees were assaulted by an irate customer who claimed that the workers botched his order, according to Utah police. Investigators say Victor Jimmy Castro placed an order last month at a McDonald's inside a Walmart Supercenter in Layton, a city about 20 miles from Salt Lake City, and thereafter left with his food. But Castro, 28, soon reappeared at the McDonald's, according to a probable cause affidavit. He allegedly walked behind the restaurant's counter and began throwing punches at a male employee, who was struck in the face by Castro's blows. After attacking the victim, who was working the cash register, Castro continued into the restaurant's kitchen, where he allegedly punched a second worker in the face. Witnesses told police that during the attack--which was captured by surveillance cameras--Castro declared, You got my order wrong. Pictured above, Castro was arrested yesterday morning. He is locked up in the Davis County jail on multiple charges, including burglary and pair of assault counts.

 >From Lyn I got so excited when my husband expressed interest in my meditation sessions. "You don't have to close your eyes," I explained. "You can keep them open and focus on something like a candle or a spot in front of you." He nodded thoughtfully. "Could it be a TV?"

 A man pacing back and forth glanced at his watch and yelled upstairs to his wife, "Honey, are you ready yet?" Shouting back, the woman replies, "For crying out loud, Ed, I've been telling you for the last half hour...I'll be ready in a minute!" ___________________________________________________  Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com Thriftyfun.com Befriend Your Butcher and Baker It's a good idea to ask the butcher and baker at your local grocery store what time they put out discounted items.

Watch How This Little Girl Celebrates A Country Christmas.
 ___________________________________________________ Mrs. Applebee, the 6th grade teacher, posed the following problem to one of her arithmetic classes: "A wealthy man dies and leaves ten million dollars. One-fifth is to go to his wife, one-fifth is to go to his son, one-sixth to his butler, and the rest to charity. Now, what does each get?" After a very long silence in the classroom, Little Morris raised his hand. The teacher called on Little Morris for his answer. With complete sincerity in his voice, Little Morris answered, "A lawyer!" ___________________________________________________ A patient had broken his leg and it was going to have to be set. To get him ready for this painful event, he was heavily sedated. While in this "state", he spoke rather freely with the hospital staff and with his wife. She apparently learned several things about her husband. When it was time to reverse the medication, the wife said "Wait! not yet. I have some more questions I want to ask". ___________________________________________________ "Doctor!" said the woman as she loudly bounced into the room, "I want you to tell me very frankly what's wrong with me." He surveyed her from head to foot. "Madam," he said at length, "I've just three things to tell you." "First, you need to lose at least twenty pounds in your lower half. Second, you should use only about one tenth as much rouge and lipstick as you did this morning. And third, I'm an artist - the doctor's office is on the next floor." __________________________________________________
