Later, the parents pulled their daughter aside and confessed their concern. "Dear," said the mother diplomatically, "he doesn't seem very nice." "Oh please, Mom," replied the daughter, "if he wasn't nice, why would he be doing 500 hours of community service? _____________________________________________________   Doug McQueen, Springbank, AB ___________________________________________________ >From Lindy You know you are suffering from "Empty Nest Syndrome" if..... You have thrown out the better part of the last several one-gallon jugs of milk, but still can't bring yourself to buy the one-quart cartons. You called the power company and asked them to check your meter, because the hot-water bill has been way too low. You suddenly realize that you no longer need to include video late fees as part of the monthly budget. You are shocked when you notice you can push the buttons on the car radio and KNOW what station you will get. The bottle of shampoo has been in the shower so long you are starting to think it might be a mystical experience - kind of a loaves-and-fishes thing. They've been gone three years and you still cook enough for your husband to have seconds and thirds ... and fourths. You still walk through the living room in the crouched position with your picking-up hand brushing the floor, even though it encounters no dirty socks. You ask the mechanic to check why your car is costing so little to run. Your cupboards overflow with uneaten school lunch treats. You still hide your best make-up. _________________________________________________  An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  Paul Mendoza, Fresno, California, USA 
 Man pleads guilty to murder of Newman police corporal 
 A man pleaded guilty to killing a Newman police corporal in a Stanislaus County court on Thursday. Paul Mendoza was accused of the death of Corporal Ronil Singh. Singh was murdered on December 26, 2018, during a traffic stop. Mendoza admitted to intentionally shooting and killing Singh. He took a plea deal that would ensure he does not get the death penalty. Instead, Mendoza will get life in prison without the possibility of parole.

 Three preachers sat discussing the best positions for prayer, while a telephone repairman worked nearby. "Kneeling is definitely best," claimed one. "No," another contended. "I get the best results standing with my hands outstretched to Heaven." "You're both wrong," the third insisted. "The most effective prayer position is lying prostrate, face down on the floor." The repairman could contain himself no longer. "Hey, fellas," he interrupted, "the best prayin' I ever did was hangin' upside down from a telephone pole in a thunder storm." ____________________________________________ SOME GOOD NEWS: The parachute company says you'll get a full refund. They say the house didn't float very far at all. The "National Enquirer" just loved those pictures of you at work. Jerry Springer wants to surprise you on his show. The reward for your capture has reached fifty thousand dollars. The insurance pays the full book value ($312) for your 1956 T Bird. The thieves left the push lawn mower and manual hedge trimmers.

The boss said while you're sick, he'd do all your work personally. ____________________________________________ The teacher was asking the class about their vacations. She turned to little Johnny and asked what he did over the break. "We visited my grandmother in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania," he replied. "That sounds like an excellent vocabulary word," the teacher said. "Can you tell the class how you spell 'Punxsutawney'?" Little Johnny thought about it and said, "You know, come to think of it, we went to Ohio." ________________________________
