The motorist was given a ticket for failing to come to a full stop at a stop sign. "Don't I get a warning?" he protested. The officer replied, "Sure. If you don't come to a complete stop next time, you'll get another ticket." ____________________________________________________   ____________________________________________________ I was trying to get my seventh-grade history class to understand how the Indians must have felt when they first encountered the Spanish explorers. "How would you feel," I asked, "if someone showed up on your doorstep who looked very different, spoke a strange language and wore unusual clothes? Wouldn't you be a bit scared?" "Nah," one boy answered, "I'd just figure it was my sister's date." ____________________________________________________ Reported by Rock An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  Justin Peterson, 41, Mesa, Arizona, USA  Neighbor dispute leads to deadly double shooting in Mesa  A dispute between neighbors escalated into a deadly shooting that left a Mesa neighborhood shocked. Two people were shot and killed after a fight broke out between two couples in a Mesa neighborhood Thursday night, police said. Officers responded to a shooting call near Southern Avenue and Signal Butte Road on Sept. 30 and discovered two dead bodies on the sidewalk with "obvious gunshot wounds." According to police officials, two couples who were living in two separate houses on the same street were arguing with each other. "Both couples produced a firearm during the argument resulting in the shooting," Mesa police said in a statement. Neighbors say they heard an estimated two dozen gunshots go off that night at around 11:50 p.m. "Sounded like, about 24 shots," said one neighbor. "Just like a barrage of boom, boom, boom, boom," said DeAngelo Muldre. The shooting was followed by panicked screams. "So, someone saying get in the car," said Muldre. "A lady was screaming, he was just trying to protect me! He was trying to protect me!" "Sounded like she was calling a name, and what do we do now? What do we do now?" said Jim Thompson. The dead victims were identified as a 54-year-old white man and a 39-year-old white woman who lived together. Meanwhile, the other two involved were identified as a 41- year-old white man and a 38-year-old white woman. Mesa police say it happened around 11:49 p.m. Thursday. When officers arrived on the scene, they found two bodies lying on the sidewalk with gunshot wounds. Police identified the two as 54-year-old Shawn Conner and 39- year-old Ivana Liversedge. Investigators believe this started when 41-year-old Justin Peterson was outside in the street, trying to speak with Liversedge. Peterson told detectives that he, his wife, and Liversedge were in a casual romantic relationship for several weeks but recently had a falling out. Surveillance video from the area reportedly showed Peterson yelling from across the street and getting into an argument with his wife. Conner and Liversedge eventually confronted Peterson and his wife and got into a fight. Police said that the surveillance video shows Peterson walking away out of the camera's view while being followed by Conner and Liversedge. Peterson's wife told investigators her husband walked past her and into their home. After asking Liversedge what was happening, Peterson's wife claims Liversedge then pointed a gun at her. Peterson's wife says she grabbed the gun from Liversedge, but Conner then grabbed the gun from her. According to his wife, Peterson came back outside the home and shot both Liversedge and Conner to defend her. A neighbor told police they saw Peterson's wife fighting with Liversedge when Peterson approached the two. The neighbor, who was inside their home at the time, noticed gunshot flashes as Peterson fired multiple rounds at Liversedge and Conner. When Peterson ran back into his home, the neighbor went outside to find Liversedge and Conner dead in the street. Another witness who stopped by the scene after the shooting reportedly called the police and said he had taken a revolver from the scene. The witness wasn't able to explain why they took the gun, which investigators later took custody of. Officials say they've been called to the home several times in the past for domestic violence. Neighbors told FOX 10 that they are used to hearing fighting and screaming from the residence that housed the couple that fired the fatal shots. "They had a situation here not too long ago in the summer where he was barricaded with a weapon," said one neighbor. According to records with Maricopa County, the home was owned by Justin and Lori Peterson. The couple was previously arrested in 2006 on assault and endangerment charges. Neighbors describe the husband as "unstable." "A very angry, out-of-control person," said one neighbor. "I mean, anybody that walks around screaming F-you at the top of their lungs in the middle of the day's obviously has some problems."  ____________________________________________________ If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! ______________________________________________________  From: Sandie Re: Weather Dear Webby, I need a reasonably reliable weather forecast.

 "How long have you been driving without a tail light?" asked the policeman after pulling over a motorist. The driver jumped out, ran to the rear of his car and gave a long, painful groan and put his face in his hands. He seemed so upset that the cop was moved to ease up on him a bit. "Come on, now," he said, "you don't have to take it so hard. It isn't that serious." "It isn't?" cried the motorist. "Then you know what happened to my boat and trailer and all the beer in the boat?" ____________________________________________ Doctors at a hospital in Brooklyn, New York have gone on strike.
