His Mama asked him what the problem was. "Pop and I were fishing, and he hooked a giant fish. Really big. Then, when he was reeling it in, the line busted, ....and the fish got away." "Now come on, Johnny,"" his mother said, "a big boy like you shouldn't be crying about an accident like that. You should have laughed." "That's what I did, Mama." ____________________________________________________   ____________________________________________________ There was once a young man who, in his youth, professed a desire to become a "great" writer.When asked to define "great", he said: "I want to write stuff that the whole world will read, stuff that people will react to on a truly emotional level, stuff that will make them scream, cry, wail, howl in pain, desperation and anger!" He now works for Microsoft writing error messages. ____________________________________________________ Reported by Rock An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  Pedro Ramirez Jr., 39, Leehigh Acres, Florida, USA  Man arrested for throwing 6-week-old baby on ground in Lehigh Acres  Wednesday, Lee County Sheriffs Office arrested Pedro Ramirez Jr., 39, after he was accused of throwing a 6-week- old baby on the ground at a Lehigh Acres home. The baby suffered bruising to their head and a fracture to their skull. The baby was transported to a hospital, but we do not have an update on the childs condition Thursday. Investigators say Ramirez was involved in a domestic dispute Monday. When they got to the home, thats when they discovered a 6-week-old baby with severe injuries. When I hear stuff like that, its really hurts my heart to know that somebody could do that just because theyre mad at somebody, Germine Lawrence said. Why would they do such a thing?. The baby is innocent. It wasnt the babys fault. Its two adults. Dont get a baby involved in something like that. Ramirez took off from the home after throwing the baby to the ground. He was picked up days later at a gas station in Lehigh Acres after a warrant was issued for his arrest. Its shocking, really shocking that something like that, you know, right in your neighborhood, Lawrence said. Ramirez remained in custody at Lee County Jail on $50,000 bond Thursday. Hes faces charges for with aggravated child abuse and two counts of probation violation.  ____________________________________________________ If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! ______________________________________________________  From: Ginger Re: Covid re-infection Dear Webby, Just wanted to clarify something you said in today's newsletter. Having and recovering from covid is NOT 100% against getting it a 2nd time. While it is rare, it does happen and was being confirmed as early as Oct 2020 in the US and earlier world wide. People who had covid and get the vaccine have more vaccine side effects - so unless there is a lot of covid in your area I would not recommend getting the vaccine. But don't allow the fact that you have had covid lull you into a false sense of security. If you do not believe me just search - covid reinfection. There are many examples from reliable sources. Take care and live long. Ginger  Dear Ginger Please keep in mind that most of he BS about Vax is just politically motivated BS. Also keep in mind that Covid is actually just next year's Flu vax, that got out early, out of sequence, and not fully tested. AND, Covid due to Vax is not exactly the same as natural Covid. Also interesting is that real Covid kills Flu virus, Fake Covid due to Vax does not. As one famous doctor answered about how long Covid will stay in the news: "I don't know. I am a doctor, not a politician." Have FUN! DearWebby

 The census taker rang the doorbell and was quite surprised when the door was opened by a nude woman. "Don't be alarmed," she said, "I'm a nudist." Although somewhat embarrassed, the man proceeded to ask the routine questions. "How many children do you have?" he asked. "Eighteen." The lady replied. "Lady," he gasped, "you're not a nudist--you just don't have time to get dressed!" ____________________________________________ During a service at an old synagogue in Eastern Europe, when the Shema prayer was said, half the congregants stood up and half remained sitting. The half that was seated started yelling at those standing to sit down, and the ones standing yelled at the ones sitting to stand up. The rabbi, learned as he was in the Law and commentaries, didn't know what to do. His congregation suggested that he consult a housebound 98-year old man, who was one of the original founders of their temple. The rabbi hoped the elderly man would be able to tell him what the actual temple tradition was, so he went to the nursing home with a representative of each faction of the congregation. The one whose followers stood during Shema said to the old man, "Is the tradition to stand during this prayer?" The old man answered, "No, that is not the tradition." The one whose followers sat down, asked, "Is the tradition to sit during Shema?" The old man answered, "No, that is not the tradition." Then the rabbi said to the old man, "The congregants fight all the time, yelling at each other about whether they should sit or stand!" The old man interrupted, exclaiming, "THAT is our tradition!" ______________________________________________ "Did you ever see the customers in health- food stores?
