The police operator, in a calm soothing voice says, "Just take it easy. I can help... First, lets make sure he really is dead." ...There is a silence, then a shot is heard... Harold then says, "OK, now what?" ____________________________________________________ Reported by Rock An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by Ellen Price, Delray Beach, Florida, USA Ellen Price Blames Speeding on Divorce, Lexapro. Refuses Breath Test A Delray Beach woman who police say was driving 80 miles per hour on a rain-slickened Military Trail in the middle of the night was jailed on a DUI charge. Ellen Price, of Barwick Ranch Circle in Delray Beach, allegedly told police she was taking Lexapro which made her feel f-d up. She said she was taking the medication while dealing with her divorce. This is the official narrative from the Palm Beach County Sheriffs Office Deputy who arrested Price: On Sunday, October 24th, 2021 at approximately 11:17 pm while performing the duties of a Palm Beach County Sheriffs Deputy; I was on Military Trail near Capital Drive conducting speed enforcement. I observed a white vehicle with no other vehicles around it traveling south in the inside lane that appeared to be traveling at a high rate of speed. The vehicle was estimated to be traveling at 70 miles per hour in a posted 45 zone. I then clocked the vehicle using my laser and had a read out of 70 miles per hour. It should be noted that the roadway at this time was wet. The vehicle was constantly changing lanes and continued to speed without noticing I was behind them. The above-mentioned vehicle traveled over 80 miles per hour but I was unable to pace clock the vehicle. I then activated my emergency equipment and conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle on Old Boynton Road/Military Trail. The vehicle was bearing a Florida tag. I exited my vehicle, making a drivers side approach to the vehicle. I introduced myself and stated the reason for the stop. The driver stated she didnt know she was speeding. She began speaking about her divorce and stated that she took Lexapro. I asked what it is used for and she stated its an anti-depressant. I then asked when did she take it and stated around 3:00 pm. I also asked if she had been drinking today but she stated no. While speaking with the driver she stated that the medication has her feeling fed up. I noticed she had dilated pupils and slurred speech. I then asked for DL and she stated she left it at home. After returning to the vehicle, I asked Ellen to exit the vehicle and walk to the front of mine. Based on my suspicion that she was under the influence, I asked Ellen would she consent to performing Standardized Field Sobriety Evaluations (SFSTs) for the purpose of determining if she was impaired while operating a motor vehicle. She consented to perform the exercisesShe then asked if she can leave her car here and go home. Police state that Ellen Price had issues performing most of the tests, including missing the tip of her nose multiple times when asked to touch it. She was placed under arrest and charged with DUI. She additionally, according to police, refused to submit to a breath test which results in an automatic license suspension. Ellen Price was booked into the Palm Beach County Jail and later released on her own recognizance. Shell be back in court on November 18th. ____________________________________________________ If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! ______________________________________________________ From: Annalee Re: Spell Check on Chrome Dear Webby, I need a free spell checker, that works on Chrome.

_____________________________________________ I noticed the neighbor down the street was sitting on his porch all day every every day, so after a few weeks I asked him what was going on. He replied, "I left my job because of illness and fatigue." A few weeks later, his wife gave me the real truth of what happened. Turns out his boss got sick and tired of him. ______________________________________________ For the second time in a row, Jill was forced to impose on the woman with whom she carpooled to her children's soccer practices. Jill phoned and explained that her husband had the car again, so she wouldn't be able to take her turn. A few minutes before she was due to pick up her son, her husband showed up. Since it was too late for her to call and say she could drive after all, Jill asked her husband to hide the car in the garage and to stay inside. She also explained to her son that he shouldn't mention anything about his father's whereabouts. Unfortunately, her husband forgot and was in front of the house chatting with a friend when her carpool partner arrived. When her son returned from practice, Jill asked him if she had noticed. "Yes," he replied, "she asked me which of the two men in front of the house was my father. But don't worry. I told her I didn't really know for sure." ______________________________________________ | Ophelia Dingbatter's NewsNo sermon and not suitable for church, just jokes and fun for grownups.

"Watch out," the wife cautioned her husband, who was driving. "Don't you see that car is braking?" Then she snapped, "Don't pass that truck - his tire is wobbling." The husband turned on his CB and informed the trucker about his loose wheel. The wife, in a nasty mood because of a headache, was irritated by the incessant squealing of the CB. "Why do you always get so much static?" she asked. "Because," her long-suffering husband replied, "I'm married." ___________________________________________________ | Today, November 3, in 1507 Leonardo DaVinci was commissioned by the husband of Lisa Gherardini to paint her.
