Here is another interesting letter: ===From Hester Dear Webby I want to find out who subscribed me! You changed my life around and I want to send a cake to whoever subscribed me. They used to call me the "Morning Terrorist" because I screamed at anybody if they as much as thought of saying anything while I checked the email. I know. My hearing is a lot better than I let on most times. But now, I read the Humor Letter and I hunts them down if I have to, so's I can tell them the jokes. After that the morning goes just so much better, and they don't hide from me any more. They even bring me coffee now! So, don't you dare to ever miss a day! Hester ----- Yes, Ma'am :-) Whoever it was who gave a gift subscription to Hester, go collect your cake! ____________________________________________________ Laura Rowe in West-Texas: Storm chaser Laura Rowe captured the picture of a lifetime last night (May 17, 2021), with this fantastic shot of a mature supercell thunderstorm, illuminated at varying heights from the setting sun. ____________________________________________________ A Hunter walking through the jungle found a huge dead dinosaur with a pigmy standing beside it.

The astonished hunter asked: "How big is your club?" The pigmy replied: "There's about 60 of us." ____________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by Cody Jackson, 32, Plant City, Florida, USA Forida man who beat, kidnapped woman arrested after more than a week on the run Investigators say a man suspected of beating and kidnapping a woman in Seffner has been arrested after more than a week on the run. Plant City police apprehended 32-year-old Cody Jackson after locating him in a stolen vehicle Tuesday evening around 7:45 p.m. Dispatchers had received a 911 call from the Circle K store at 2210 N. Park Road, advising them that a silver Chevrolet Cobalt had just been stolen and was leaving the store going northbound. The caller described the suspect as a white male wearing a brown and beige cowboy hat. An officer responding to the scene spotted the vehicle at a BP gas station on Wheeler Street and pulled behind the car. Police said the driver attempted to flee, but another officer managed to pull in front of the vehicle and prevent him from leaving. Officers ordered Jackson out of the car multiple times before he finally complied with commands. The owner of the stolen car was brought to the scene and told officers she did not know Jackson and had not given him permission to take her vehicle. When officers performed a check, they found outstanding warrants out of both Citrus and Hillsborough Counties for Jackson's arrest. "Thanks to the outstanding teamwork with Plant City PD, superb attention to detail, and unwavering dedication to bringing this man into custody, we can say that a dangerous individual is off the streets," said Hillsborough Sheriff Chad Chronister. "Criminals do not follow jurisdictional boundaries, so partnerships with our neighboring agencies are essential to keeping our community safe." The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office said Jackson got into a fight with the victim at a home on King Charles Circle around 11 a.m. Sunday, May 9. Investigators said Jackson grabbed a piece of wood and hit the victim on the head and then forced her into a 2003 silver Mitsubishi Eclipse before driving away. They stopped at one point so Jackson could tie the victim's ankles and wrists with extension cords, according to HCSO. Jackson drove to Citrus County and stopped at a Citgo gas station in Inverness. While inside the convenience store, the victim was able to break free from the restraints. The clerk working at the store said he ran out to try and stop his victim from escaping. "He [had] seen the girl that he had bound in the car escaping from the car and he started running out the door. While he was running out the door she was running to my private door that was locked," Rachel Craddock recalled. "She was banging on it, saying, 'Help me! Help me! Help me! Hes gonna kill me! Hes right there, hes right there!' And I hurried up and unlocked the door and I pulled her in and I locked that door." With all the doors locked and the woman safely inside, Craddock called 911. She says the victim was clearly hurt and had a gash on her head. "Extension cords around her arms and she had matted hair with blood, and all I could think was get her safe into the store with me," Craddock said. Deputies said that Jackson fled the area after realizing the victim had escaped. The vehicle was later located near the intersection of US 41 North and Sunset Lane in Tampa. The victim was taken to Citrus Memorial Hospital. "He was threatening this victim's life and it could have ended in tragedy had the victim not managed to escape just in time," Chronister said. Jackson is charged with false imprisonment and kidnapping, grand theft of a motor vehicle, false imprisonment, kidnapping to harm or terrorize, and resisting arrest without violence. He is being held without bond.

_____________________________________________ Walking up to a department store's fabric counter, a attractive young woman asked, "I want to buy this material for a new dress. How much does it cost?" "Only one kiss per yard, " replied the smirking male clerk." That's fine," replied the woman. "I'll take ten yards." With expectation and anticipation written all over his face, the clerk hurriedly measured out and wrapped the cloth, then held it out teasingly. The girl snapped up the package and pointed to a little old woman standing beside her. "Grandma will pay the bill," she smiled. ___________________________________________ An IRS man asks a farmer, "How much is your prize bull worth?"

Finally she tried threats, warning her son that, "If you don't stop sucking your thumb, your stomach is going to blow up like a balloon." Later that day, walking in the park, mother and son saw a pregnant woman sitting on a bench. The four-year-old considered her gravely for a minute, then spoke to her saying, "Uh-oh ... I know what "you've" been doing." ___________________________________________________ | Ophelia Dingbatter's NewsNo sermon and not suitable for church, just jokes and fun for grownups.
