After it reached a comfortable cruising altitude, the captain made an announcement over the intercom, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. Welcome to Flight Number 293, nonstop from New York to Los Angeles. The weather ahead is good and therefore we should have a smooth and uneventful flight. Now sit back and relax - OH MY GOD!" Then silence. Then, the captain came back on the intercom and said, "Ladies and Gentlemen, I am so sorry if I scared you earlier, but while I was talking, the flight-attendant brought me a cup of coffee and spilled the hot coffee in my lap. You should see the front of my pants!" A passenger in Coach said, "That's nothing. He should see the back of mine!" ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ City Boy: Say, Dad, how many types of milk are there?

The trail of violence began in the area of Golden State Blvd. and Dinuba Ave. in Fresno County around noon. That's where Fresno County deputies say 39-year-old Jorge Calleres's ex-girlfriend lives. On Saturday morning, he went inside her house, entered her bedroom, and shot her in the face. The woman is currently in critical condition. According to Fresno police, Calleres then left his ex- girlfriend's home and stole a car with a mother and her four children inside. As he started traveling in the car toward Fresno with the terrified family in it, one of the children made a quick and life-saving decision. "One of the children was, from what I understand very, very smart and actually faked an asthma attack, to where the suspect pulled over and kicked the family out of the vehicle so we're very thankful that all of them are okay," said Fresno police chief Paco Balderrama. About an hour and a half after the shooting, Fresno police received calls regarding a man acting erratically near Peach and Butler Avenues. When officers arrived, they realized he matched the description of Calleres and he appeared to be high on drugs. During the struggle, officers used a taser and three handcuffs to restrain him. That's when they noticed he began having breathing issues. Calleres was taken to the hospital, where he died shortly after. Fresno Police will be investigating this incident as an 'in-custody' death because Calleres was having medical complications while he was handcuffed. In the meantime, the officers involved will be on paid leave. ____________________________________________________ If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! ______________________________________________________ From: Hanna Re: Homegroup in W10 Dear Webby, Where is "Homegroup" in W10 ?

When he was able to catch her eye, she quickly looked away. Finally he followed her into the kitchen and blurted out his invitation. To his amazement she readily consented. He said, "Why have you been avoiding me all this time? You wouldn't even make eye contact." "Oh," replied the waitress," I thought you wanted more coffee, and the pot is already washed." ____________________________________________ A Sept 2001 Bonehead award two goes to Seattle police officers, who, after setting off to chase a car thief who stole one of their own police cars, ended up mistaking each other for the suspect, crashing their cars into each other demolition derby style, and having a gun battle where more than 20 bullets were fired at each other while the suspect drove away. And what's good in one sense, and perhaps sad in another, is that none of the officers hit their targets. And what says the Police chief? ''In my 30 years (in law enforcement), I've never seen anything like this.'' ______________________________________________ At a fancy reception a young man was asked by a widow to guess her age. "You must have some idea," she urged when he hesitated. "I have several ideas," he admitted with a smile, "the trouble is that I don't know whether to make it ten years younger because of your looks or ten years older because of your wisdom." ______________________________________________ Ophelia Dingbatter's NewsNo sermon and not suitable for church, just jokes and fun for grownups.
