The owner proudly led him into the kitchen and introduced him to the chef. "Your veal parmigiana was superb," the customer said.

Ours is imported." ____________________________________________________ The veterinarian told Trisha that her dog needed some exercise. You need to make sure the dog runs around, the doctor said.

He barely slowed down and ran right through the stop sign after glancing for traffic. What the driver didn't know was that a cop was watching the intersection. The cop pulled out after him and stopped him 2 blocks away and asked him for his " License, registration and proof of insurance". The driver said: "Hey I wanna know exactly what I did wrong first?" The Officer responded "Please watch your tone of voice, you failed the stop sign back there!" The driver said: "Hey man, I slowed down enough, what the heck is the difference?" The police officer then pulled out his night stick and his long flashlight began bonking them over the mans head in a spirited drum solo. Within seconds the driver was howling: "Hey, man, stop that. Stop it. Stop, please!" The officer said " Now, do you want me to really stop, or just slow down a bit ?" __________________________________________________ Reported by the bausell Sailor An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  Murray Dee Henricks Jr., 23, Whitney Sue Joslin, 22, Clinton, Iowa, USA  Clinton, Iowa pair arrested for selling Meth An investigation by the Blackhawk Area Task Force has led to the arrest of two Clinton residents on meth trafficking charges. Murray Dee Henricks Jr., 23, and Whitney Sue Joslin, 22, are charged with one count each of possession with the intent to distribute more than 5 grams of methamphetamine. The charge is a Class B felony under Iowa law that carries a prison sentence of 25 years. Henricks and Joslin also are charged with violating Iowas drug tax stamp law, a Class D felony that carries a prison sentence of five years. The pair was arrested Jan. 29. According to the arrest affidavits filed by an agent with the task force, at 2 p.m. on Aug. 26, agents with the Blackhawk Area Task Force conducted a controlled buy of suspected crystal methamphetamine from Henricks using a confidential source. The source had communicated with Henricks and had agreed to buy meth from Henricks. When the source arrived at Henricks residence, the source spoke with Henricks on the phone. Henricks told the source that he would send out a woman with the meth. Agents watched as Joslin gave the source, in exchange for cash, a clear plastic baggie that contained suspected methamphetamine. The suspected methamphetamine was sent to the Iowa Department of Public Safetys Division of Criminal Investigation crime lab for testing. The test returned positive for 9.03 grams of methamphetamine, and a warrant was issued Jan. 29 for the arrest of both Henricks and Joslin. Both Henricks and Joslin are scheduled to be arraigned on the charges Feb. 18 in Clinton County District Court. Henricks also is facing a charge of second-degree theft and second-degree criminal mischief. Clinton Police allege that Henricks attempted to steal a catalytic converter from a Dodge Ram pickup truck at 1:55 p.m. Jan. 28. The Ram was parked in the parking lot of Custom-Pak, a Clinton business. Henricks did not get the catalytic converter but is alleged to have caused $1,730.46 in damage to the Dodge. He also is charged with second-degree theft and second- degree criminal mischief for allegedly stealing a catalytic converter off a Ford F250 pickup truck sometime between the hours of 5:30 p.m. Jan. 26 and 2:30 p.m. Jan. 27, according to arrest affidavits. The cost to repair the Ford is between $4,000 and $5,000. The suspected methamphetamine was sent to the Iowa Department of Public Safetys Division of Criminal Investigation crime lab for testing.

 The golfer stood at the edge of the water and attempted to pitch the ball over it. It went in. A voice boomed out from above.... "USE AN OLD BALL". He dropped a new ball and put that one in the water. The voice again boomed out from above ....."USE AN OLD BALL". He proceeded to hit a half dozen brand new balls into the water. Each time the voice boomed out from above "USE AN OLD BALL". Finally he looked up and said "Where can I buy an old ball?"

When he finishes them, he comes back to the bar and orders three more. The bartender approaches and tells the cowboy, "You know, a mug goes flat after I draw it, it would taste better if you bought one at a time." The cowboy replies, "Well, you see, I have two brothers. One is in Australia the other is in Dublin, and I'm in Texas. When we all left home, we promised that we'd drink this way to remember the days we drank together. So I drink one for each of my brothers and one for myself." The bartender admits that this is a nice custom, and leaves it there. The cowboy becomes a regular in the bar, and always drinks the same way. He orders three mugs and drinks them in turn. One day, he comes in and orders two mugs. All the regulars take notice and fall silent. When he comes back to the bar for the second round, the bartender says, "I don't want to intrude on your grief, but I wanted to offer my condolences on your loss." The cowboy looks quite puzzled for a moment, then a light dawns and he laughs. "Oh, no, everybody's just fine," he explains, "It's just that my wife and I joined the Baptist Church in Sweetwater and I had to quit drinking. Hasn't affected my brothers though." ____________________________________________ >From Yolanda I began thinking about my own mortality after I became a widow. One day my daughter called home from college, and I announced to her, "I think it's time for us to talk about where I would like to be buried." "It's way too soon to even think of anything like that," she snapped indignantly. Then there was a brief silence. "Wait a minute, did you say married or buried?" When I repeated buried, she said, "Oh, okay, sure." ____________________________________________
