Thanks for your votes! ___________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD AND a DARWIN Award has been earned by Reece Ramsey-Johnson, Sydenham, England Wannabe carjacker killed himself when shotgun went off as he tried to smash window A carjacker died after he accidentally blasted himself in the chest while trying to smash a window with the butt of his shotgun, an inquest has heard. Officers investigating the death of Reece Ramsey-Johnson said they were satisfied there was 'no third party involvement' as they closed the probe into his killing. Witnesses who saw the 22-year-old dying from gunshot wounds in the street outside a Lloyds bank in Sydenham on Sunday, September 8, said his own gun may have gone off when he used to to hit a car window. Opening the inquest at Southwark Coroner's Court on Thursday September 26, Dr Andrew Harris confirmed the police investigation had now ended. He said: 'The investigating officer is satisfied there is no third party involvement. 'Witness testimony suggests the actions of the deceased led to his death, and the police are not conducting a criminal investigation. Adding: 'There is reason to suspect this was an unnatural or violent death.' Dr Harris adjourned the inquest for a full hearing in January A post-mortem examination found the cause of death was 'shotgun wounds to the chest'. Video footage taken at the time showed another masked man shouting 'he's shot himself he's f*****g shot himself' as he crouched over Mr Ramsey-Johnson's dying body. A shopkeeper on the high street told MyLondon: 'A group of guys were sitting in a car by the bank and a big guy came up to them with a shotgun. Weekend washout: UK to be hit with heavy rain, gale-force winds and flooding 'They all got out of the car and ran so the guy decided to damage the car with the back of the gun. 'As he was hitting the windows the gun went off and he shot himself.' DearWebby's Tech Support Pits From: Ellen Re: Reach of wireless router Dear Webby What is the maximum reach of wireless routers? And how secure are they? Thanks Ellen Dear Ellen Keep in mind that the other end, the card in your computer or laptop has to be just as powerful and talk the same language. I can get routers and PC-cards that work reliably for 3 Miles. Security is no problem, they use the newest standards including WPA-PSK random key security. Naturally, they cost more than bargain routers that barely reach thirty feet for you, but let all the kids in the neighborhood use your Internet access. Have FUN!

As we talked, he told me with great sincerity how glad he was to be back. My heart flew, and I asked him what he had missed most. He looked into my eyes and replied, "Wheel of Fortune." | If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! | |
On vacation in Hawaii, my stepmom, Sandy, called a caf to make reservations for 7 p.m. Checking her book, the cheery young hostess said, "I'm sorry, all we have is 6:45. Would you like that?" "That's fine," Sandy said. "Okay," the woman confirmed. Then she added, "Just be advised you may have to wait 15 minutes for your table." ___________________________________________________ Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com Thriftyfun.com font color="#009990"> Shopping For Parts When you go shopping for parts to repair your car, sewing machine, or any other device, write down the make and model number of what you are repairing so you can be sure to get the right part.

___________________________________________________ Our first day at a resort my wife and I decided to hit the beach. When I went back to our room to get something to drink, one of the hotel maids was making our bed. I grabbed my cooler and was on my way out when I paused and asked, "Can we drink beer on the beach?" "Sure," she said, "but I have to finish the rest of the rooms first." ___________________________________________________ "That's a great place to work!" shouted my 16-year-old brother after coming home from the first day at his first job. "I get two weeks' paid vacation." "I'm so glad," said my mother. "Yeah," added John. "I can't wait to find out where they send me." ___________________________________________________ Thanks to Dianne for this: It was so cold during our trip to Canada that my wife and I ducked into a department store to buy long underwear. When we asked a saleswoman where we could find a pair, she directed us to the lingerie department. "You know you're in Canada," I grumbled to my wife, "When long johns are considered lingerie." __________________________________________________ | Ophelia Dingbatter's NewsNo sermon and not suitable for church, just jokes and fun for grownups.
