Good Morning, Do, Today is Monday, July 10 Tonight, I was stalking, big knife in hand, quietly walking, by the light of the full moon and stars, and the silence not broken by cars, stalking the wild rhubarb at the corner. OK, you continue that. I ripped out a bunch of rhubarb, whacked off the leaves with the knife and hauled the stalks inside. Cut them into half inch long pieces, simmered them with a teaspoon of molasses, 4 shakes of Cinnamon and some honey. Heavenly desert! Some day I'll make a rhubarb pie, but not tonight. Have Fun!

"But officer." the man began, "I can explain,". "Just be quiet," snapped the officer. "I'm going to let you cool your heels in jail until the chief gets back..." "But officer, I just wanted to say...." "And I said to keep quiet! You're going to jail!" A few hours later the officer looked in on his prisoner and said, "Lucky for you that the chief is at his daughter's wedding. He'll be in a good mood when he gets back."

 ______________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  David Desper, 28, West Goshen, Pennsylvania  Oklahoman carged with assaulting roomie for silliest reason  Jerome Dewayne Whyte, 23, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma An argument over whether 'Star Wars' or 'Star Trek' was a better movie turned violent Saturday afternoon when an Oklahoma man shoved his roommate to the ground and began choking the male victim, police allege. According to an Oklahoma City Police Department report, the cinematic dispute resulted in the arrest of Jerome Dewayne Whyte, 23, for the assault of Burke Bradley Warren, 19. During the Star Wars / Star Trek argument, Warren became so frustrated with Whyte that he left the pair's shared living area and went to his room. As he departed, Warren told Whyte, You're just a trick. That comment prompted Whyte to follow Warren into his room, where Whyte allegedly twice shoved his roommate to the floor and then sought to choke out the victim, police reported. While being strangled, Warren went in and out of consciousness. Since police judged Whyte to be the aggressor in this altercation, he was arrested for assault and battery. He was also charged with marijuana possession. A post-arrest computer check revealed that Whyte had outstanding arrest warrants in connection with prior convictions for passing bad checks and child abuse. In both of those cases, Whyte failed to pay fines and restitution ordered at the time of his sentencing. It is unknown which film Whyte, seen in the above mug shot, believed to be superior. Whyte is currently locked up in the Oklahoma County jail. He loks likme he just realkized, "Oh. sh**, with outstanding warrants and unpaid fines, he was supposed to be on his best behavior, but now he'll go to jail.  ______________________________________________________  Tech Support Pits From: Ilah Re: Email tracking Dear Webby, Dear Webby, Is this another hoax?

Denver the guilty dog on Good Morning America
 ____________________________________________________  Morris, a union plumber was called to woman's apartment in New York to repair a leaking pipe. When he arrived he was pleased to discover that the woman was quite a luscious, well-stacked babe, and during the course of the afternoon the two became extremely friendly. About 5.30 p.m. the phone rang, disturbing the bedroom shenanigans. "That was my husband," she said, "He's on his way home, but is going back to the office around 8. Come back then, dear, and we can take up where we left off." Morris, the union plumber looked at the woman in disbelief. ....."What? On my own time??" ___________________________________________________
