The Pastor said to him, "You need to join the Army of the Lord!" My friend replied, "I'm already in the Army of the Lord, Pastor."

An honest, little boy noticed her drop the handbag, so he picked it up and returned it to her. The lady looked into her handbag and commented, "Hmm.... That's funny. When I lost my bag there was a $20 bill in it. Now there are twenty $1 bills." The boy quickly replied, "That's right, lady. The last time I found a purse, the owner didn't have any change for a reward." ____________________________________________________ Reported by Rock An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  Esther Callejas, Phoenix, Arizona, USA  Az mother shoots her kids  According to court documents, Callejas decided to shoot her children and take her own life on Monday morning. She told police she bought a gun years ago and hid it from her husband. "She's alleged to have shot her two-year-old daughter two times in the chest at close range, leading to her death. She also shot her son at least three times in this case," said prosecutor Christopher Sammons. A few days before the shooting, Callejas loaded the gun and hid it in a dresser drawer in her kids' room. On Monday, Callejas was in the bedroom and fired the gun once but accidentally shot herself in the hand. Her son ran towards the door and Callejas shot him. She then shot her daughter. Callejas tried to take her own life by taking prescription pills, which her husband told police were prescribed to her for depression. Afterward, she called her husband to report that she had shot their children. "Esther did not call 911 even though her six year old was still alive and crying," read a portion of the court documents. According to police, they did a welfare check at the same house two weeks prior, when Callejas' husband voiced concerns about the well-being of his family. Callejas and her children were not home at the time, but officers did get ahold of her on the phone later, where she told officers that everything was fine. Callejas' bond is set for $2 million.  ____________________________________________________ If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! ______________________________________________________  From: Ed Re: Reboot after update Dear Webby, Entirely too many programs demand a reboot after doing an update. Is therea way around that? Ed  Dear Ed No, there is not a way around that. Too many of them shut down part of Windows while they do their updating and messing about, and restoring the shut down parts would be beyond the skil level of their programmers. Don't postpone the reboot. Just tell it to go ahead and go make a fresh pot of coffee. When you come back, almost everything should be running again. Have FUN! DearWebby

 The teacher advised the class to start the day with the Pledge of Allegiance, and instructed them to put their right hands over their hearts and repeat after him. He looked around the room as he started the recitation, "I pledge allegiance to the flag..." When his eyes fell on Little Johnny, he noticed his hand over the right cheek of his buttocks. "Little Johnny, I will not continue till you put your hand over your heart." Little Johnny replied, "It is over my heart." After several attempts to get Little Johnny to put his hand over his heart, the teacher asked, "Why do you think that is your heart?" "Because, every time my Grandma comes to visit, she picks me up, pats me here, and says, 'Bless your little heart,' and my Grandma wouldn't lie." ____________________________________________ Bobby was stark naked in front of his open window, doing his morning aerobics. His wife entered the room and shouted, "Bobby, you fool, draw those curtains! I don't want the neighbors to think that I married you for your money!" ______________________________________________ Bill's wife's psychiatrist just called me and said, "Did you know she was going to poison you?" Bill said, "No! What you suggest?" He said, "After listeneing to her for three hours, my suggestion to you is to take the poison." ______________________________________________
