Seven million of these were antiques; the rest were college students. ____________________________________________________ Kids never understand parent's logic. They always fail to see why they have to go to bed when the parents are tired. ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ An octogenarian who is an avid golfer moves to a new town and joins the local country club. The first time he goes to the club to play, however, he-s told there isn-t anybody he can play with because all the members are already out on the course. The old fellow repeats several times that he really wants to play. Finally the assistant pro agrees to go out with him. The pro also says he-ll give the man a 12 stroke handicap. "I really don't need a handicap," he says. "I have been playing quite well. The only real problem I have is getting out of sand traps." And he does play well, though on the 18th hole, after a long drive, his ball lands in a sand trap. Still, when he shoots from the trap, he hits a very high ball that bounces onto the green and rolls into the hole. The pro walks over to the sand trap where his opponent is still standing. "Nice shot," he says, "but I thought you said you have a problem getting out of sand traps?" Replies the octogenarian, "I do. Please give me a hand and help me up out of this blasted sandpit." ____________________________________________________ Reported by Rock An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by Fiston Ngoy, 35, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Fiston Ngoy arrested for raping a woman inside a train A 35-year-old man was arrested for raping a woman on board a public train in northeast Philadelphia as other riders watched and did nothing to help the victim, police said. Police identified Fiston Ngoy, of Philadelphia, through surveillance footage that caught him sexually assaulting a woman Wednesday night aboard a Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) train towards the town of Upper Darby. Upper Darby Police Superintendent Timothy Bernhardt said that while there were other people on the train, it was ultimately a SEPTA employee outside the train who made the call to 911, which allowed officers to arrest Ngoy on the spot. Its disturbing that there were definitely people on the L, and no one intervened or did anything to help this woman out, Bernhardt told NBC 10. I have no words for it. I just cant imagine seeing what you were seeing through your own eyes and seeing what this woman was going through that no one would step in and help her. Police said Fiston Ngoy, of Philadelphia, through surveillance footage that caught him sexually assaulting a woman Wednesday night aboard a Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) train towards Upper Darby. SEPTA and Upper Darby Township Police investigators said a surveillance camera on the train captured the assault. Police said Ngoy first sat next to the woman and tried to touch her. The woman pushed him away several times before he pushed her down, ripped her clothes off, and sexually assaulted her, police said. Investigators said the assault went on for eight minutes, and no other riders tried to stop the attack or call the police. Some may even have videoed the rape themselves, police said. Upper Darby Police Superintendent Tim Bernhardt said the woman went into shock and was taken to a nearby hospital and treated for her injuries. The victim, I spoke with her this afternoon, Bernhardt said. She is an unbelievably strong woman. She came forward, she provided a lot of information, and shes on the mend. Bernhardt said viewing the surveillance footage was shocking. Its disturbing that there were definitely people on the [train] and no one did anything to intervene or help this woman, he said, according to WCAU. The assault was observed by a SEPTA employee outside the train, who called 911, enabling SEPTA officers to respond immediately and apprehend the suspect in the act, said SEPTA spokesman Andrew Busch. ____________________________________________________ If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! ______________________________________________________ From: Hannah Re: Network messaging Dear Webby, I am quite adept with messaging all over the world with Skype, FB, even Zoom. But to send a message to my #2 machine, which is now used by Hubby, seems to be impossible. Isn't there some kind of program that allows me to send stuff between machines on the same network? Something simple! Hannah Dear Hannah Since you already have Skype, tell your hubby to get his own user name on Skype. Then you can just mesage him on Skype, send music and videos and sermons back and forth, without having to set up and learn a new program. Have FUN!
