Ask any Indian. --- Robert Orben _____________________________________________________ He said a woman brought her baby to see him, and he determined right away that the baby had an earache. He wrote a prescription for ear drops. In the directions he wrote, "Put two drops in right ear every four hours" and he abbreviated "right" as an R with a circle around it. Several days passed, and the woman returned with her baby, complaining that the baby still had an earache, and his little behind was getting really greasy with all those drops of oil. The doctor looked at the bottle of ear drops and sure enough, the pharmacist had typed the following instructions on the label: "Put two drops in R ear every four hours." _____________________________________________________   Northern Pygmy Owl, Calgary Kristen Thorell-Stewart ___________________________________________________ A principal is making his rounds in the school when he hears a terrible commotion coming from one of the classrooms. He rushes in and spots one boy, taller than the others, who seems to be making the most noise. He seizes the lad, drags him to the hall, and tells him to wait there until he is excused. Returning to the classroom, the principal restores order and lectures the class for half an hour about the importance of good behavior. "Now," he says, "are there any questions?" One girl stands up timidly. "Please sir," she asks, "may we have our teacher back?" ___________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  Christopher Hoar, 56, in jail, Florida, USA  Cops carry out staged murder-for-hire, sting dogged Florida inmate  The below photo of a female murder victim--snapped by a Florida sheriff's investigator--is not what it appears to be. For the second time in nine months, the woman's former husband, Christopher Hoar, a 56-year-old carpenter, has been charged with soliciting her murder from his jail cell (he was originally locked up last October for threatening her with a gun).  According to Martin County sheriff's investigators, a prison snitch reported last month that Hoar again was seeking to have his ex-wife Marcia whacked. With the source's assistance, an undercover cop met with Hoar on August 6 and agreed to handle the killing in exchange for the inmate's 2000 Toyota and $10,000. The helpful Hoar even prepared a map of his wife's Jensen Beach home and a bill of sale for the auto (which was being turned over for 'services rendered' by the supposed hit man). To convince Hoar that the murder was carried out, Marcia agreed to pose for photos 'in which she would be depicted as dead.' After preparing some fake blood, Sgt. John Silvas 'placed Mrs. Hoar on the floor by the front door' and put the blood near her head to give the impression that 'she suffered a gunshot wound to the head,' according to an arrest affidavit. The photos of the staged murder scene were then given to the snitch, who showed them to a 'very happy' Hoar, who remarked that he had the 'best alibi' due to his imprisonment. Hoar was charged Friday with solicitation to commit first degree murder, a charge with which he is familiar, having been hit with the same count last November. If convicted of the various felonies, Hoar (who is pictured in the mug shot above) could spend decades as a Sunshine State ward. Why anybody would want to kill a gorgeous lady like her, is a mystery to me. The perp is obviously insane!

 There is the story of a priest who got up one Sunday and announced to his congregation: "I have good news and bad news. The good news is, we have enough money to pay for our new building program. The bad news is, the money is still out there in your pockets." ____________________________________________ During exams at England's Cambridge University, a bright young student asks the proctor to bring him cakes and ale. "Sorry, no," says the proctor. "Sir, I really must insist," says the student, taking out a copy of the 400 year old Laws of Cambridge, written in Latin and still nominally in effect. He points to a section which reads (roughly translated): "Gentlemen sitting examinations may request and require cakes and ale." The proctor gives in, but since cakes and ale aren't readily available, he and the student agree that hamburgers and beer can be substituted, and the student sits there, writing his examination and happily slurping away. Three weeks later, the same student is fined five pounds for not wearing a sword to the examination. ____________________________________________ A young woman confides to a friend that she wants to quit smoking, but nothing she does seems to work. "Have you tried the patch?" her friend asks. "No, that's one thing I haven't tried," the woman says, "because I'm not sure it works." Says her friend, "I'm sure it would, if you put it over your mouth." ____________________________________________
