I'm writing this letter slowly because I know that you cannot read fast. You won't know the house when you come home. We've moved. About your father. He has a lovely new job. He has 5,000 men under him. He is cutting the grass at the cemetary. There was a washing machine in the new house when we moved in, but it isn't working too good. Last week I put 14 shirts into it, pulled the chain and I haven't seen the shirts since. Your sister had a baby this morning. I haven't found out whether it is a boy or a girl so I don't know whether you are an aunt or an uncle. Your Uncle Dick drowned last week in a vat of whiskey at Dublin's Brewery. Some of his workmates dived in to save him but he fought them off bravely. We cremated his body and it took us three days to put out the fire. Your father didn't have much to drink at Christmas. I put a bottle of castor oil in his pint of beer and it kept him going until New Year's Day. I went to the doctor on Thursday and your father went with me. The doctor put a small tube into my mouth and told me not to open it for ten minutes. Your father offered to buy it from him. It only rained twice last week. First for four days and then for three days. Monday it was so windy that one of our hens laid the same egg four times. We had a letter from the undertaker. He said if the last installment wasn't paid on your grandmother within seven days . . . UP SHE COMES! Your loving mother P.S. I was going to send you $10 but I had already sealed the envelope. __________________________________________________   Moraine Lake, Banff National Park, Alberta. __________________________________________________ If you can spare a coin, PLEASE hit PayPal with it! ___________________________________________________ DIET: It's something most of us do religiously: We eat what we want and pray we don't gain weight. __________________________________________   Bali Myna ____________________________________________________ WOODY: "Hey Mr. Peterson, there's a cold one waiting for you."

A member of the flock snicked at the preacher's snafu, raised his hand and said, "That's not much of a trick. I could do that." The minister didn't respond. However, the next Sunday he decided to repeat the text. This time he did it properly, "And they fed five thousand men with five loaves of bread and two fishes." Smiling, the minister said to the noisy man, "Could you do that, Mr. Perkins?" The member of the flock said, "I sure could." "How would you do it?" "With all the food I had left over from last Sunday!" ___________________________________________________ When Columbus came to America, there were no taxes, no debts, and no pollution.

Since the end of the week was approaching the newlyweds had no immediate difficulty following the medico's orders. But on the first night of scheduled rest the young bride found herself eager as a beaver. Hubby fell asleep, but she tossed and turned and finally nudged her spouse into partial wakefulness. Expecting daylight, and confused with the darkness, he asked, "What day is it honey?"

You are probably aware about the hysteria about straws. It is apparently OK to shit on the sidewalk in Pelosi's district, but using plastic straws will get you thrown in jail. What is your solution? Olga  Dear Olga Well, if it was up to me, I would throw Pelosi in jail, and allow straws. For drinking, straws can be made from bio-degradeable and re-usable celluloid. DUH! You can also grow real straw in your back yard or window sill flower box, or get it from a farmer in hay bale quantities for about $2 per 50 pound bale. Real straw was used originally, until plastic straws became more profitable. Real straw still works. Have FUN!

Steven Magill of Via Delray allegedly stood in a canal and pointed a gun at Palm Beach County Sheriffs Office Deputies on August 23rd. At least one of the deputies responded by shooting Magill. The incident was captured on police bodycam. PBSO released a still shot of Magill seemingly pointing a gun at a deputy. He is now charged with aggravated assault on an officer. Magill is being held in the Palm Beach County Jail without bond. PBSO issued this statement just after the shooting. At 11:34 pm, Wednesday, August 23, 2023, Deputies responded to a welfare check in the 5600 block of Via Delray, Delray Beach, according to police. Upon arrival, deputies made contact with an adult male that was threatening suicide. The male began walking up and down a canal bank. Deputies began following the male to establish a rapport with him. At one point the male produced a firearm and placed it to the side of his head. Deputies continued to try to talk to the male, in hopes of offering him mental health services. The male entered the canal which was no more than knee to waist deep and continued walking. Deputies were positioned on both sides of the canal bank following him and continuing to establish a rapport when suddenly the male pointed his weapon at deputies. Deputies discharged their firearms striking the male in the upper torso. The male was transported to a local hospital where he is currently in stable condition and expected to survive. FDLE (the lead investigators), PBSO Violent Crimes detectives and the State Attorneys Office investigators are investigating this Deputy Involved Shooting. PBSO Deputies are currently on administrative leave which is standard department protocol. __________________________________________________ If you can help with the cost of the humor letter, please donate what you can!
