So, Do, very eager to oblige, hurried into the kitchen and quickly prepared a plate of hot biscuits and laid them in front of the girl. "No, thank you," she said. "But I thought you said your mom always prepares hot biscuits for breakfast!" Do said in surprise. "She does," said the child. "But I don't eat them." ___________________________________________________ Bonehead Award Texas teen charged with murder of girlfriend who was shot 22 times after she learned of his affair ____________________________________________________   Martha Wilson, High River, AB ____________________________________________________ Little Josh was brought to Dr Gill cause he hadn't eaten anything for days. Dr Gill offered him all the goodies he could think of. No luck. He tried a little scolding. It didn't work. A little pleading, to no avail. Finally he sat down, faced the boy, looked him in the eye. He said "Look young man, if you can be stubborn, so can I. You're not going anywhere till you eat something. You can have whatever you want, but only after you have eaten will you leave. " Josh just sat and glared for some time, then said "Ok. I'll eat but I have some conditions. First, I'll have exactly what I want and exactly how I want it and second you'll share with me." Dr Gill was ok with this. He asked the child what he'd like. "Worms!" said Josh. Dr Gill was horrified but didn't want to back out and seem like a loser. So, he ordered a plate of worms to be brought in. "Not that many, just one " yelled Josh as he saw the plate. So, everything other than one worm was removed. Josh then demanded that the single worm be cut into two and then Dr Gill eat half. Dr Gill went through the worst ordeal of his life, and after finishing barely managing to keep his cool said ... "Ok, now eat!" Josh refused - "No way! You ate my half!" ____________________________________________________ Reported by Rock An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  Frank Deleon Jr., 17, USA  Texas teen charged with murder of girlfriend who he shot 22 times after she learned of his affair  A Texas teen has been charged in connection to the murder of his 16-year-old girlfriend, who authorities say was shot 22 times last week after she learned of her boyfriend's affair. Frank Deleon, 17, was arrested Monday in the murder of Diamond Alvarez, Houston police said. "I didnt even ask who it was, I already knew it was him," Alvarezs mother, Anna Machado, told FOX26 Houston, adding that she is "in pain." Alvarez was killed after learning Deleon was having a romantic relationship with another girl and agreeing to meet him at a park on the 5100 block of Markwood Lane near her home, according to police. The teen was walking her dog when she was murdered. Deleon appeared in court on Tuesday, where prosecutors said Diamond was shot 22 times, mostly in the back, according to the station. Prosecutors said that Deleon appeared to be planning to leave for an extended time and had a suitcase packed at the time of his arrest. Deleons bond was set at $250,000. "He doesnt deserve a bond. I dont think so," Machado told the station. "I dont think thats right. I dont care if he had no priors. I dont care. Whatever he did, the way he executed my daughter, and hes walking the streets like nothing and mocking people. What kind of animal is that?"  ____________________________________________________ If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! ______________________________________________________  From: Danialle Re: More Lyrics Dear Webby, From Danialle Good Morning Webby, Here is another lyrics site . https://www.azlyrics.com/ Danialle >From Bean Regarding the Coke in Oklahoma: When I was in college in Tennessee, I learned that if someone offered you a 'cole drank', your choices were 'Bud', meaning any beer or liquor which you would have to specify, or a Coke, which could be any soft drink.
