Good Morning, Do! Today is Fiday, May 12 Time to wear a bit of red to show your support for the troops!  ___________________________________________________ The UFOs captured me and kept me for about 14 hours. I normally sleep about 2 hours, then rush to the bathroom. I have been told that is normal for old fogies. That is 2 hours less than what I have slept for 40 years. When I woke up, I felt like I had slept my normal 2 hours. When I got to the computer, I got the surprise of my life. What the H***!!! I have absolutely no idea what the UFO or the ETs look like or what they did. Have any of you ever experienced something like that? ____________________________________________________ History: Today, May 12 1926, The airship Norge became the first vessel to fly over the North Pole. ____________________________________________________ Bonehead Award: BSO Detective Arrested For Extortion _____________________________________________________ Q If I knew I was going to live this long, I'd have taken better care of myself. --- Mickey Mantle (1931 - 1995) ___________________________________________________ In a physics lab course, which involved light, electricity and magnetism, one requirement of the course was to read the week's experiment before coming to class. At one lab session the instructor wanted to see how many people had actually done so: "What are the two types of light?" he asked. The lab fell silent until one wise young man raised his hand and said, "Uhhh, Miller and Molsons" ______________________________________________________ "Husband Shopping Centre" was opened where a woman could go to choose from among many men, for her husband. It was laid out in five floors, with the men increasing in positive attributes as you ascended up the floors. The only rule was, once you opened the door to any floor, you must choose a man from that floor,and if you went up a floor, you couldn't go back down except to leave the place. So, a couple of girlfriends go to the place to find men. First floor, the door had a sign saying "These men have jobs and love kids." The women read the sign and say "Well that's better than not having jobs, or not loving kids, but I wonder what's further up?" So up they go. Second floor says "These men have high paying jobs, love kids, and are extremely good looking" Hmmm, say the girls. But, I wonder what's further up?" Third floor: "These men have high paying jobs, are extremely good looking, love kids and help with the housework.." Wow! say the women. Very tempting, BUT, there's more further up!? And so again, they go up. Fourth floor: "These men have high paying jobs, love kids, are extremely good looking, help with the housework, and have a strong romantic streak. "Oh, mercy me. But just think!?!?! What must be awaiting us further on! So up to the fifth floor they go. The sign on that door said "This floor is just to prove that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping and have a nice day." ------------ (PS.

So he decides to buy her a cell phone. She is all excited, she loves her phone. He shows her and explains to her all the features on the phone. The next day she goes shopping. Her phone rings and it's her husband, "Hi hun," he says, "how do you like your new phone?" She replies, "I just love it! It's so small and your voice is clear as a bell but there's one thing I don't understand though." "What's that, baby?" asks the husband.

An anxious old man met him at the door. The pastor sat down to counsel the old man and asked several questions. "Do you love her?" The old man replied, "Nope." "Is she a good Christian woman?" "I don't know for sure," the old man answered. "Does she have lots of money?" asked the pastor. "I doubt it." "Then why are you marrying her?" the preacher asked. "Cause she can drive at night," the old man said. ---------------- I got that on my wish list too. Not on top, but it IS a consideration.

I think they are full of crap. What do you think of them? Rosa Dear Rosa If you only use them for 5 minutes every second day, what they call "Normal usage", they probably will last that long. If you leave them on, you are lucky to get 3 - 4 years pout of them. For longer lasting lights, try the LED lamps. Have FUN!

After a while the supervisor became very curious and asked her about it. Keli replied, "It's for confidentiality." "Confidentiality?" asked the bewildered supervisor. "Yes, confidentiality," Keli explained, "I've been told what goes in one ear comes out the other, and I don't want anyone else knowing what my client says." __________________________________________________ If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! _________________________________________________  Del Roth A Mule Deer will hear you coming a mile away. May 11 2023 Lac Ste Anne County. ____________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD reported by Rock, has been earned by  BSO Detective Arrested For Extortion Demetrious Campbell, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA A BSO detective was arrested for extortion and investigators say he has been closing cases as unsolved without pursuing leads. The Broward Sheriffs Office tells Boca Post that they have arrested one of their own on Tuesday. Detective Demetrious Campbell, a SVU detective and 21-year veteran of the department is in jail this morning. Investigators say that Campbell is charged with 9 counts of official misconduct and 1 count of extortion. This is after Campbells supervisors started looking into his performance following claims that a sexual battery case was not being investigated. A victim came forward and told Campbells supervisors that Campbell would not investigate her case. Campbell said that she was uncooperative and did not want to consent to an exam. The victim said that is simply not true. Authorities started looking closer into Campbells cases. Of the 99 sex crime and abuse cases from October 2021 to March 2023, Campbell closed 41 of them as unfounded. As detectives continue to investigate Campbells closed cases, they report discovering many discrepancies. Investigators say that one of the victims even said that Campbell threatened to have her deported if she pursued charges against her attacker. Sex offenses are such heinous crimes to recover from because of the emotional and sometimes physical scars endured by victims that last for many years, Sheriff Gregory Tony said. I expect all BSO employees to serve with virtuous character and integrity. Failure to fully investigate such serious crimes is reprehensible and downright disgraceful. The public can rest assured all unfounded SVU cases investigated by Campbell will be reopened and thoroughly reviewed. Victims of any crime have a right to have their cases fully investigated and their violators arrested. Demetrious Campbell was arrested and is in BSO custody while facing the following charges: 1 count of EXTORTION/THREATS per FSS 836.05 9 counts of PUBLIC SERVANT FALSIFY OFFICIAL DOCUMENT per FSS 838.022-1a ____________________________________________________ Today, May 12 in 1588, King Henry III fled Paris after Henry of Guise triumphantly entered the city. 1780, Charleston, South Carolina fell to British forces. 1847, William Clayton invented the odometer. 1870, Manitoba entered the Confederation as a Canadian province. 1881, Tunisia, in North Africa became a French protectorate. 1885, In the Battle of Batoche, French Canadians rebelled against the Canadian government. 1888, Charles Sherrill of the Yale track team became the first runner to use the crouching start for a fast break in a foot race. 1926, The airship Norge became the first vessel to fly over the North Pole. 1926, In Britain, a general strike by trade unions ended.
