He gave the children all the same kind of Lifesaver and asked them, "What is the flavor, and what color is it?" The children began to say, "Red . . . cherry . . . yellow . . lemon . .. lime . . . green . . . orange . . . orange." Finally, he gave them all honey Lifesavers. The children suck on them for a while, but can't decipher the taste. "Well," he said, "I'll give you a clue. It's what your mother would call your father." One little girl looked up in horror, spit hers out, and yelled: "Everybody spit it out, they're assholes!" ___________________________________________________ if you can spare a coin, please hit paypal with it! ___________________________________________________ A couple with three children waited in line at San Francisco's Pier 41 to purchase tickets for a boat trip to Alcatraz.

Finally, they reached the ticket window. "Five tickets, please," the father said. "Two round trip, three one way." ____________________________________________________   Eye discipline like he was a deer poacher! ___________________________________________________ A flying saucer was low on fuel, so it landed near a local gas station.

You find yourself listening to talk radio. 2. You daughter says she got pierced and you look at her ears. 3. The pattern on your shorts and couch match. 4.

When someone mentions SURFING you picture waves and a surf board. 8. You remember the "Rolling Stones" as a rock group not a corporation. 9. You turn down free tickets to a concert because you have to work the next day. 10. You bought your first car for the same price you paid for your kid's new running shoes. 11. When jogging is something you do to your memory. 12. Rocking all night means dozing off in your rocking chair. ___________________________________________________ Reported by Rock An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  Roman Rodriguez, 41, gone to hell now, formerly of San Antonio, Texas, USA  Mom Leaves near dead Home Intruder Slumped in Chair for Cops to wheel away After Defending Peacefully Sleeping Kids  Democrats hate the idea of legally armed Americans. They think guns should be reserved for criminals only. While the lamestream media is quick to report on stories of gun violence committed against criminals, they underplay how often guns are used for personal protection. She got a gun and fired 2 shots, into the crook's chest. She did not miss any. Because the crook was leaking onto her nice, clean laundry room, she drug him outside onto the lawn and a plastic lawn chair, and then called 911 that she had a crook for horizontal storage. Apparently, his injuries were too serious for him to escape the scene. No one else was hurt during the incident. Police reported Roman Rodriguez, 41, died while en route to the hospital. As reported by News 4 San Antonio, even though Rodriguez died, the woman will not face charges, as the castle doctrine applies. Because the man was forcibly and illegally trying to enter her habitation, the use of force was authorized. ____________________________________________________ If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! ______________________________________________________  DearWebby's Tech Support Pits From: Mary Re: Facebook hacked again?

 _____________________________________________ Seems this hillbilly came to town carrying a jug of moonshine in one hand and a shotgun in the other. He stopped a man on the street, saying to him: "Here, friend, take a drink outta my jug." The man protested, saying he never drank. Unimpressed, the hillbilly leveled his shotgun at the stranger and commanded: "Drink!" The stranger drank, shuddered, shook, shivered and coughed. "God! That's awful stuff!" "Ain't it, though?" replied the hillbilly. "Now here, you hold the gun on me while I take a swig." ______________________________________________ A mother was trying to get her son to eat spinach (which he hated). He absolutely refused to eat it! So, thinking she would substitute another green vegetable that was just as nutritious, she served her son asparagus. When her son looked at his plate, he gasped in fright "Oh, no, spinach legs!" ______________________________________________

 An American diplomat was speaking to a large crowd at a public meeting in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, Africa. Out of respect for the audience, and for the interpreter, he spoke slowly. He also told some jokes, likewise very slowly. After each joke, he was amazed how the translator used only a few words to make the crowd roar with laughter. Afterwards the diplomat asked the interpreter, "How did you manage to tell each joke so rapidly?" "Oh, it's easy," said the interpreter. "I just said, 'He told a joke. Laugh!'" ___________________________________________________
