At the table, she turned to her six- year-old daughter and said,"Would you like to say the blessing?" "I don't know what to say," she replied. "Just say what you hear Mommy say," her mother told her. The daughter bowed her head and said: "Dear Lord, why on earth did I invite all these ungrateful nuts to dinner?" ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ An elderly woman entered a large furniture store and was greeted by a much younger salesman. "Is there something in particular I can show you?" he asked. "Yes, I want to buy a sexual sofa." "You mean a sectional sofa," he suggested. "Sectional, schmectional." she bitterly retorted. "All I want is an occasional piece in the living room!" ____________________________________________________ Reported by Rock An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by Emma Presler, 19, Houston, Texas, USA 19-year-old charged with murder for setting Houston man on fire Houston police are searching for a woman accused of setting a man on fire at a home in Kingwood. Emma Presler, 19, is charged with murder and is currently not yet in custody. HFD responded to reports of a house on fire around 10 p.m. August 6 in the 2000 block of Aspen Glade Drive in Kingwood. Crews found a two-story home engulfed in flames and two people, who suffered severe burns, outside. The victims, Devin Graham, 33, and Karissa Lindros, 26, were transported to an area hospital in critical condition. Police say Graham later passed away. According to police, Graham reported that a female suspect had entered the home, poured an unknown substance on him and lit him on fire. Police say Lindros was also burned as a result of the incident. After further investigation, police identified Presler as a suspect. Presler made headlines last year when she was charged with murder in the slaying of Sierra Rhodd, 20, who died after her home was riddled with bullets in a drive-by shooting. A judge later ruled that he found no probable cause because, while it was suspicious, there wasn't quite enough evidence against Presler at that time. ____________________________________________________ If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! ______________________________________________________ From: Nina Re: Recipes Dear Webby, What is the best way to keep recipes without any expensive programs? Thanks Nina Dear Nina Just get Open Office or Office Libre. They are about the same as Microsoft Office or 365, without the high cost. You can paste recipes and pictures from the web into files. Try that initially, and just save each recipe under a unique name. Once you get familiar with the system, you can do an outline style menu, and make it link to individual recipes. Have FUN!

_____________________________________________ This is next joke is not a new and current news event, but a story I reprint almost every year: An off-duty parking police officer, familiar with radar guns, drove through a school zone within the legal speed limit when the flash of a camera went off, taking a picture of his license plate. The officer, thinking the radar was in error, drove by again; even more slowly. Another flash. He did it again for a third time, at an even slower speed. Same result. "This guy must have messed up the settings way too much," the off-duty officer thought. A few weeks later, when he received the violations in the mail, he discovered three traffic tickets: each for not wearing a seat belt! ____________________________________________ Two assassins are hired to kill a dictator in South America. They follow his every move for months, and find out that every day at noon he goes outside and does his stretching exercises. So the assassins set up shop right across the street, get all of their sights set, load the guns, and have everything ready to go. Noon comes, no dictator......10 minutes longer........no dictator. One assassin turns to the other and says, "Gee, I hope nothing happened to him." ____________________________________________ Make love, not war. Or, if you want to do both, you have to get married! ______________________________________________ | Ophelia Dingbatter's NewsNo sermon and not suitable for church, just jokes and fun for grownups.
