"We're planning a lovely holiday in Devon this year," said one. "Oh you oughtn't to do that," said the other, "there are Irish there! It would be awful." "Dear me!" said the first lady. "well where are you going?" "Salisbury," she replied. "But Salisbury is simply crawling with Irish!" the first lady objected. At this point the Irish lady could no longer hold her tounge. "Why don't ye go t' hell," she suggested. "There be no Irish there!" ____________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  John Janecek, 40, Mesa, Arizona, USA  Mail box bomber arrested  Officials with the Mesa Police Department announced on May 29 the arrest of a man in connection with a number of mailbox bombings in the East Valley. According to a statement, 40-year-old John Janecek was arrested on May 28, in connection with five mailbox bombings that took place from March 12 to March 15. Investigators say of the five incidents, four of them took place in Mesa, and one took place in Gilbert. Investigators tracked down Janecek after a car associated with him was seen at the scene of one of the bombings. In addition, Janecek was seen on social media videos making and setting off consumer fireworks. Janecek, according to police, was detained in April 2021 during a search warrant. "John denied blowing up any mailboxes but said he did have "materials" that he thought he should not have, so he had them destroyed. John continued to talk to officers, making incriminating statements about blowing up mailboxes, but would then stop and correct himself," read a portion of the statement. Following his arrest on May 28, police officials say Janecek told officers he apologized to the business owner from the first incident, and paid him $30 as restitution for destroying the mailbox. He later confessed to blowing up at least three mailboxes. Janecek, according to police, was booked into jail and accused of five counts of first degree burglary, five counts of disorderly conduct, and a count of possession of dangerous drugs.  
 DearWebby's Tech Support Pits FROM: DearWebby RE: Internet Access Dear Webby I am "connected" via Telus, the biggest ISP this side of China. Or so they claim. They have a problem, or pretend to have a problem, while they try to con me into switching to fiber, instead of copper. The moron, who pretends to be a tech, claims there is a problem with the copper. I told him he is full of shit, because I can get to their shopping cart, just not out onto the net. And I can use Skype. DUH! And I can use FTP. DUh! Duh! Duh! Obviously the problem is not the copper, but Telus in Calgary, either playing stupid games, or just routine incompetence.  Dear Do! I might have to give you a few days vacation while I switch to a better ISP. Have FUN! DearWebby

 Casey and Riley agreed to settle their dispute by a fight, and it was understood that whoever wanted to quit should say "Enough." Casey got Riley down and was hammering him unmercifully when Riley called out several times, "Enough!" As Casey paid no attention, but kept on administering punishment, a bystander said, "Why don't you let him up? Don't you hear him say that he's had enough?" "I do," says Casey, "but he's such a liar, you can't believe him." ___________________________________________ Two Irish mothers were talking about their sons. The first said, "My Patrick is such a saint. He works hard, doesn't smoke, and he hasn't so much as looked at a woman in over two years." The other woman said, "Well, my Francis is a saint himself. Not only hasn't he not looked at a woman in over three years, but he hasn't touched a drop of liquor in all that time." "My word," the first Irish mother said. "You must be so proud." "I am," the second mother replied. "And when he's paroled next month, I'm going to throw him one heck of a big party." ____________________________________________ St Peter becomes aware of a man standing outside the Gates of Heaven, pacing up and down. "Excuse me, can I help you?" he asks. "No, it's all right. It won't be long." And he distractedly looks at his watch, shrugs and paces on. St. Peter gives it anotherhalf hour and asks again. The man stops and says, "Look, you know I'm dead. I know I'm dead. Will someone please tell my secretary that I will NOT wake up, no matter what she does?" ___________________________________________________
