What truly horrible lives they must lead. --- Charles Bukowski (1920 - 1994) ________________________________________________ A Bonehead award has been reported by Rock  Jeremy Guthrie, 42, Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA  Child rape suspect caught with fly undone, 6 kids in vehicle during traffic stop  An Albuquerque, New Mexico, drunken driving suspect caught with his fly open and six kids in the back of his pickup truck appears on bodycam video slurring his speech as he tries to talk his way out of the stop which ultimately led to child rape charges against him for allegedly molesting one of his passengers. Police pulled over Jeremy Guthrie, 42, last summer as he swerved across the road, "driving like an idiot," as one trooper put it, and he then failed a field sobriety test, bodycam video shows. After his arrest, investigators uncovered shocking allegations involving one of the girls in his vehicle. The video, recently released to the public, begins with Guthrie fumbling around the driver's seat after a state trooper asks for his license. The officer shines his flashlight in the back window, revealing a backseat packed with minors, and then returns to the front, where Guthrie still hasn't produced identification. "There's your wallet right there between your legs," the trooper says. "Oh, sorry, I was a little bit nervous," Guthrie replies. "So was I, the way you're driving," the trooper says, before going through a litany of dangerous swerves and turns he had just allegedly witnessed. At another point, the officer counted off six children in the car and asked Guthrie, "Who are these kids to you?" "They're just my friends," the driver slurred. "That's your friend? How old's your friend?" "Eighteen?" Guthrie replies. "That girl's not 18," the trooper scoffs. When Guthrie got out to face the field sobriety test, his fly was unzipped. "Why's your buttons down?" the trooper asks. Guthrie failed the field sobriety tests, but the DWI charges were only the start of Guthrie's legal troubles, according to New Mexico's Second Judicial District Attorney's Office. "During that arrest, there were six children in the car, so he was also charged with abuse of a child," the DA's communications director Nancy Laflin told Fox News Digital. Then, during a follow-up investigation, one of the girls told authorities Guthrie had sexually abused her, according to prosecutors. "Based on statements from the child and corroborating evidence in the case, police arrested Guthrie," Laflin said. Additional charges included 10 counts of criminal sexual penetration of a minor, three counts of criminal sexual contact with a minor, two counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor and one count of false imprisonment. Officers told the kids to call their parents and to pick them up at the scene as they processed Guthrie. Guthrie has been held without bond at Bernalillo County's Metropolitan Detention Center in Albuquerque since July 2022, records show. He's due back in court in November.

Entertained by the sight, he went closer and heard the little neighbor boy say: "I've got an idea. To finish it off, I'll go to the kitchen and find a carrot." His daughter replied, "Make it two. The second can be his nose." __________________________________________________ ******, a neighbor down the street was home every day, sitting on his porch. After a few weeks I asked him what was going on. He replied, "I left my job because of illness and fatigue in management." A few weeks later, his wife gave me the real truth of what happened. Turns out his boss got sick and tired of him. ___________________________________________________   ___________________________________________________ A patient, while recovering in the hospital from a heart attack, met this over-zealous evangelist. After listening politely for over a half-hour on how thankful he should be to have been spared, and how he should repent at once, he asked if all of his sins had flashed before his eyes during the heart attack. The patient responded, "Don't be ridiculous, the attack only lasted 6 hours!" ___________________________________________________  Dear Webby's Tech Support Pits  From:Buzzy Re: No Task bar Dear Webby ===== From the 123clickit.com Tech Support pits ====== This customer was having problems with his internet connection.
