"Do you recall," he asked pleasantly, "how a year ago, I ate just such a repast here and then, because I couldn't pay for it, you had me thrown into the gutter like a common bum?" "I'm very sorry sir." began the contrite headwaiter. "Oh, it's quite all right." said the guest, "but I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you for the same chore again..." ____________________________________________________   Betty Betty's high torque water pumping windmill ____________________________________________________ A farmer who lived right on the border between Minnesota and Iowa was troubled with doubt about which state to pay his taxes to. Finally he called the surveyors to study out the problem and give him the answer. When their work was completed, the surveeyors came to his door and told him, "your farm is entirely on the Iowa side of the border line." "Thank God!" said the farmer happily, "No more of those terrible Minnesota winters!" ____________________________________________________ Reported by Rock An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  Adrienne Klein, 43, and Gesart Hoxha, 20, In jail now, USA  Adrienne Klein, 43, and Gesart Hoxha, 20, were arrested after police said they flew a 12-year-old girl from Texas to Georgia for sex.  A Florida woman and Georgia man have been arrested after police said they flew a 12-year-old girl from Texas for sex. Adrienne Klein, 43, of Gulf Breeze, Florida, was charged with enticing a child for indecent purposes and cruelty to children in the 2nd degree. Gesart Hoxha, 20, of Buford, Georgia, was charged with child molestation, statutory rape, enticing a child for indecent purposes and employing or using a minor to engage in or assist a person in sexually explicit conduct for a visual medium. Gwinnett County police said Klein and Hoxha arranged for the 12-year-old girl to fly from Texas to the Atlanta area and paid for a hotel for the girl to stay. Police said the investigation began in Texas. The Arlington Police Department contacted investigators with the Gwinnett Police Internet Crimes against Children Taskforce on Sept. 7 about the case. Soon after, a search warrant was executed at Hoxhas home located at an apartment complex on Appaloosa Lane in Buford. Investigators said a large sum of cash and explicit photos of the victim were uncovered. Investigators said Hoxha and the victim had been messaging prior to her being flown to the state, some of which were sexually explicit in nature. Hoxha also faces indecency with a child by sexual contact charges filed by Arlington police.  ____________________________________________________ If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! ______________________________________________________  From: Alice Re: Readable font Dear Webby My daughter is quite obviously a thilly dingbat, and changed all my fonts to wht she considers "cool". They have become hard to read with my eyes, and I can't find good and readable ones. What do you recommend? Alice  Dear Alice Tell her that she can change the fonts all she wants after she has shoveled enough snow to be able to buy her own computer. In the meantime, select Arial or Tahoma.

 Whenever my aunt went to the doctor, she would complain to me about the long delay she always endured. One day, when my aunt's name was finally called, she was asked to step on the scale. "I need to get your weight today," said the nurse. Without a moment's hesitation, my aunt replied, "One hour and 45 minutes!"

 _____________________________________________  A friend who prides himself of being an amateur psychiatrist was a guest at a gathering, and the hostess naturally broached the subject in which he was most at ease. "Would you mind telling me," she asked, "how you detect a mental deficiency in somebody who appears completely normal?" "Nothing is easier," he replied. "You ask a simple question which anyone should answer with no trouble. If he hesitates, that puts you on the track." "What sort of question?" "Well, you might ask him, 'Captain Cook made three trips around the world and died during one of them. Which one?'" The hostess thought a moment, then said with a nervous laugh, "You wouldn't happen to have another example would you? I must confess I don't know much about history." ______________________________________________ A young boy was kneeling by his bed and saying his prayers and asked God to make him a good boy. The boy's father, passing by the bedroom, overheard his son praying, "And make me a good boy, if You can. And if You can't, don't worry about it, 'cause I'm having fun the way I am." ______________________________________________

 Not far from me we have a friend who raises Brahma Bulls. I asked how he got them to breed so well, since he has a nice herd. He said that he gave the bulls potency pills and I asked what the pills were made of. He said "I don't really know, but they taste a little like a saltine." ___________________________________________________
