Thompson ============= I would agree. And if anybody in Phoenix, for example a car rental company, gives you printed directions to find them, trash that paper immediately, and look up the directions on mapquest. The same goes with finding your way to any place from their location. They might mean well, but they don't keep up with changing road names and detours beyond their own way to work. ___________________________________________________ A grandmother overheard her five-year-old granddaughter playing "wedding." The wedding vows went like this: "You have the right to remain silent, anything you say will be turned around and used against you, you have the right to have an attorney present. You may kiss the bride today." ___________________________________________________ Three wives were bemoaning their husbands' attitudes towards leftovers. "It gets rough," one said. "My husband is a Movie Producer and he calls them 'reruns'." "You think you have it bad," was the reply. "Mine is a Quality Control Engineer and he calls them 'rejects'!" "That's nothing compared to me," said the third lady. "My husband is a mortician. He calls them 'remains'!" ___________________________________________________ If you can spare a coin, PLEASE hit PayPal with it! _________________________________ A dog thinks: Hey, these people I live with feed me, love me, provide me with a nice warm, dry house, pet me, and take good care of me . . .

BEWARE OF DOG! posted on the glass door. Inside he noticed an old hound dog sound asleep on the floor half way between the door and the cash register. He asked the store manager, "Is THAT the dog folks are supposed to beware of?" "Yep, that's him," he replied. The stranger couldn't help but be amused. "That certainly doesn't look like a dangerous dog to me. Why in the world would you post that sign?" "Because," the owner replied, "before I posted that sign, people kept tripping over him and bashing their teeth out on the counter." ____________________________________________________ I couldn't help overhearing a man at a nearby pay phone. "I know it's something you want," he said earnestly, "but I don't think tattoos are a good idea. And the same goes for body piercing. As long as you're living in my house, I think you should respect my wishes." I was secretly cheering him on for his fatherly firmness. Then came the 'coup de grace': "Besides, Ma, you're 75 years old! You don't NEED a tattoo and a nose ring!" ____________________________________________________ Reported by Rock An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  Bionca Lockett, 32, Sebastian, Florida, USA  Mom Left Infant In car while she had gone gambling  A woman left her infant daughter in an unlocked car while she gambled for nearly two hours inside a Florida arcade, according to police who arrested her on a felony child neglect charge. Police were dispatched Friday afternoon to a parking lot in Sebastian after a 911 caller reported that there was a child by itself inside a Nissan Sentra parked adjacent to Pirates Arcade, a 21-and-over social club. When cops arrived at the lot, they found the child sitting in a car seat alone, according to an arrest affidavit, which noted that the vehicle was unlocked. After officers were on the scene for 10 minutes, Bionca Lockett, the childs mother, emerged from the arcade. Lockett, 32, initially claimed that a friend of hers was inside the car watching the infant while she played in the arcade. When a patrolman advised Lockett that he would review surveillance camera footage to verify her account, Bionca then changed her story. Lockett reportedly admitted that she left her child in the car alone with the windows rolled up and A/C turned on, thinking she would only be inside for a few minutes. The infant, cops reported, had dried poop from poor cleaning, dried skin, lips were chapped, and she appeared to be malnourished. Since Lockett did not have adequate food for the child in the car, police purchased baby formula to provide the infant with nutrients and liquid to offset how dehydrated she was. Lockett was arrested on a pair of felony charges for leaving the infant alone in a car while she gambled for approximately 1 hr and 44 minutes. Lockett is being held in the Indian River county jail in lieu of $50,000 bond. The arrest report does not indicate who is now caring for the child. A judge has ordered Lockett to have no contact with the infant, unless it is approved by the states Department of Children and Families. Seen above, Lockett is currently on probation following her no contest plea in September to a felony grand theft count. Lockett was charged with stealing $1000 from a Chevron gas station where she worked. No father of the baby was listed.  ____________________________________________________ If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! ______________________________________________________  From: Chris Re: Facebook Jail Dear Webby Every now and then some friends get blocked by Facebook, and can't reply or appeal. FB claims one of their ancient posts from 8 years ago now goes against "Community standards". By sheer coincidence the victims are always Trumpers or anti-Piglosios. "Community Standard" seems to be whatever a Bernie or Mad Max or Poca Honta or AOC fanatic currently believe. Is there ANY way to fight the Commies? Thanks! Chris  Dear Chris No, you can't fight them. All you can do is use Skype or anything, that is not controlled by Facebook or Google. Have FUN! DearWebby 
 An employment interviewer for a big company in New York was talking to an attractive young woman applying for a job. Looking over the application form, the interviewer noticed that the girl had not answered one important question concerning transportation to and from work. "What about your bus line?" the interviewer asked her. "I don't believe I mentioned it," came the pleased reply, "but it's a 38D."

 _____________________________________________  The basketball coach stormed into the university President's office and demanded a raise right then and there. "Please," protested the college President, "you already make more than the entire History department." "Yeah, maybe so, but you don't know what I have to put up with," the coach blustered. "Look, I'll Give you an example." The coach went out into the hall and grabbed a jock who was jogging down the hallway. "Run over to my office and see if I'm there," he ordered. Twenty minutes later the jock returned, sweaty and out of breath. "You're not there, sir," he reported. "Oh, I see what you mean," conceded the President, scratching his head. "I would have phoned first." ______________________________________________ Soon after marriage, a lady's husband stopped wearing his wedding ring. She asked, "Why don't you ever wear your wedding band?" He replied, "It cuts off my circulation." She answered back, "It's supposed to!" ______________________________________________

 A minister was planning a wedding at the close of the Sunday morning service. After the benediction he had planned to call the couple down to be married for a brief ceremony before the congregation. For the life of him, he couldn't think of the names of those who were to be married. So he simply asked: "Will those wanting to get married please come to the front?" Immediately, nine single ladies, four widows, tree widowers, two single men and a lady in a formal wedding gown stepped to the front. ___________________________________________________
