After seeing this at several intersections in a row the motorist followed him until he pulled into a parking lot. When they both had come to a stop the truck driver once again jumped out and started banging on the trailer door. The motorist went up to him and said, "I don't mean to be nosey but why do you keep banging on that door?" To which the trucker replied, "Sorry, can't talk now, I have 20 tons of canaries and a 10 ton limit, I have to keep half of them in the air all the time!" __________________________________________________ "Sir," said the timid employee to his boss, "my wife says I'm to ask you for a raise." "Fine," the boss replied. "I'll ask my wife if I can give you one." __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ If you can spare a coin, PLEASE hit PayPal with it! ____________________________________________________ Jesus loves you....

She also had her seven-year- old son with her. Everyone gathered around the baby, and the little boy asked, "Mommy, can I have some money to buy a soda?" "What do you say?" she asked. Respectfully, the boy replied, "You're thin and beautiful." The woman reached in her purse and gave her son the money. __________________________________________________ If you can spare a coin, PLEASE hit PayPal with it! ____________________________________________________ The manager of a large office noticed a new man one day and told him to come into his office. "What is your name?" was the first thing the manager asked the new guy. "John," the new guy replied. The manager scowled, "Look... I don't know what kind of a mamby-pamby place you worked at before, but I don't call anyone by their first name. It breeds familiarity and that leads to a breakdown in authority. I refer to my employees by their last name only... Smith, Jones, Baker... that's all. I am to be referred to only as Mr. Robertson. Now that we got that straight, what is your last name?" The new guy sighed, "Darling. My name is John Darling." _______________________________________________ The rules at a particular university were such that if the professor was not present in the classroom by 15 minutes past the hour, the class was considered a "walk" and the students were free to leave -- with no penalties for missing a class. The rooms were equipped with the type of wall clocks which "jumped" ahead each minute, in a very noticeable fashion. As it were, these clocks were not of the most sophisticated construction. Some enterprising student discovered that if one were to hit the clock with chalkboard erasers, it would cause the clock to "jump" ahead 1 minute. So, it became almost daily practice for these students to take target practice at the clock (this particular professor was not the most punctual, and the students considered him severely "absent-minded"). A few well- aimed erasers, and lo, 15 minutes were passed, and class dismissed itself. Well, when the day for the next exam rolled around, the professor strolled into the room, passed out the exams, and told the class, "You have one hour to complete the examination". The professor then proceeded to collect the erasers from around the room, gleefully took aim at the clock. When he had successfully "jumped" the clock forward one hour, he ended the class and collected the exam papers. _____________________________________________ If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can!

When the family returned home carrying palm branches, he asked what they were for. "People held them over Jesus' head as he walked by," his mother explained. "Wouldn't you know it," the boy fumed. "The one Sunday I didn't go, He showed up!" ___________________________________________________ >From Sarah When we were looking to buy property I had this over zealous realtor show us what can only be described as a totally worn-out old farm. I mean the land had just been worked to death. The weeds were not even growing. The smiling super salesman said, "Now really, all this land needs is a little water, a nice cool breeze and some good people." I replied, "Yeah, I agree, but couldn't the same be said of Hell?" ____________________________________________________ International Bonehead Award Man convicted of attempted murder, arson ____________________________________________________ Progress isn't made by early risers. It's made by lazy men trying to find easier ways to do something. --- Robert Heinlein (1907 - 1988) ____________________________________________________ A father, mother and child went out to spend time on the beach on a hot summer's day, but as soon as they reached the beach they discovered that there was a black flag there, a sign not to enter the water. The boy really wanted to get in the water, but his mother did not agree and they stayed on the beach to rest in the sun and play in the sand. After a few minutes, the father got bored and turned to his wife: "Keep an eye on the boy, I'm going into the water, there's no way the sea is really that dangerous." After a few minutes the boy asked "Mom, why did you let dad get in the water and not me?" "Because you and father are two different people and there are things he can do and you can't." answered the mother. "Is it because dad knows how to swim really well?" continued the boy. "Not really" answered the mother. "Is it because dad is big and strong?" "No." "Then why is daddy allowed to enter the water and I'm not?" the boy complained. "Because daddy has life insurance." __________________________________________________ Reported by Rock An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by Mark Martin, 37, Visalia, California, USA Man convicted of attempted murder, arson A 37-year-old man from Visalia was convicted of attempted murder and arson on Thursday, according to the Tulare County District Attorneys office. Officials say on Feb. 7, 2021, Super Bowl Sunday, at around 6:30 p.m. Mark Martin allegedly broke into the garage of his ex-girlfriend with whom he has two children. At that moment the woman and the two minors were also in the Visalia home. District Attorney officials say Martin used gasoline to start a fire near the water heater, which quickly spread to two cars in the garage and other areas. The occupants were quickly evacuated. Initially, it was believed that the incident started from a water heater failure, but investigators found that it started as a fire and police officers determined arson as the cause. Officials say during the investigation, law enforcement obtained security video from nearby homes that showed a man riding a BMX bicycle around that house during the time of the fire. Martin was later identified as the suspect. Authorities say the next day Martin made a post on social media directed to his ex-girlfriend about the seriousness of his intentions and the fear he hoped the fire instilled in her. He also posted in a Visalia social group on Facebook, asking how a water heater could cause so much damage. He was arrested on Feb. 9th, 2021. Additionally, the victim presented evidence of a series of threats and harassment made before the incident, including Martins voicemails directed to the victim saying die in a slow death and burn to death as well as a note left in his exs vehicle threatening her new boyfriend to end the relationship, and statements that showed Martin bragging about setting the fire in less than an hour before the incident, the DAs office said. Martin was convicted charges of attempted murder, arson, and residential burglary as well as multiple felony convictions. Sentencing has been scheduled for Oct. 3 _____________________________________________________ From Jody __________________________________________________ A lady goes to the doctor and complains her husband is losing interest in sex. He gives her a pill but warns her it is still experimental. He tells her to slip it in his mashed potatoes at dinner and she does. About a week later she's back at the doctor and says, "The pill worked great. I put it in his mashed potatoes like you said. It wasn't five minutes later and he jumped up, raked all the food and dishes on the floor, grabbed me and made love right there on the table." The doctor says, "I'm sorry, we didn't realize the pill was that strong. The foundation will be glad to pay for any damages." The lady replied, "Naah, That's okay. We aren't going back to McDonalds anyway." _____________________________________________________ Have you heard about the five young bulls standing in the pasture discussing what they wanted to be when they grew up? The first said he wanted to go to Rome and become a papal bull. The second said he wanted to go to New York and become a bull on Wall Street. The third wanted to go to the windy city to become a Chicago Bull. The fourth said he wanted to go to Beijing and be a bull in a China shop. The fifth said he was just going to stay in the pasture for heifer and heifer and heifer. _____________________________________________________ Iceland ___________________________________________________ According to "Men's Health" magazine, 71% of men feel their dog understands them at some telepathic level. That's because men and dogs have the same interests ~~> eat, sleep, play ball, and hump. _________________________________________________ DearWebby's Tech Support Pits From: Helen RE: Duplicate Sweeper Hi Dear Webby, Not sure what I would do without your newsletter. I totally appreciate the humor, your vast knowledge and your willingness to share. My newest question: What do you think of Duplicate Sweeper? Is it trustworthy? is it worth the price? Thank you. Helen Dear Helen I would not waste money on that. Personally, I use Search Everything. It is still free. If there are duplicates, they show up in that quite nicely, and I can compare sizes and dates, and I can even sort by dates. Exit "Search Everything" when done with it. Because it looks at the entire machine, it uses a lot of memory. You can still operate for a while, but eventually your browsers will bung up. Have FUN!
