A friend left me alone in a restaurant with her 16-month-old kid. I asked, "What do I do if he cries?" She said, "Give him some vegetables." It turns out that jalapenos are not his favorite vegetable and I will not be asked to babysit again. ____________________________________________________   Pumpkin ____________________________________________________ No wonder kids are confused today. Half the adults tell them to find themselves; the other half tell them to get lost. ____________________________________________________ Reported by Rock An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  Jessica_Smith, 28, Boston, Massachusetts, USA  Naked drunk drove golf cart through standoff with armed suspect  While Pinellas deputies were in the middle of a tense standoff with an armed man on the roof of a Dunedin home on Sunday, they said a naked woman who drove through the scene on a golf cart made the situation even more dangerous for law enforcement. Deputies were setting up a perimeter outside of a home in the 1100 block of Michigan Blvd just after midnight on Sunday after they said 18-year-old Myles Abbott fired a gun at people in the area, ran from deputies and climbed onto the roof of the house, pointing the firearm at them. It was the beginning of a SWAT standoff that lasted six hours. That's when they said 28-year-old Jessica Smith, from Boston, Massachusetts, drove past several marked Pinellas sheriff patrol units in a golf cart. As Smith approached the home where the armed standoff was happening, deputies said she ignored their commands to leave the scene. Smith then refused to get out of the golf cart, so deputies took her out and handcuffed her. According to the affidavit, Smith had "a distinct odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from her person, and she was completely nude." "The defendant's actions and inability to follow directions put multiple deputies at risk for potentially getting shot at," investigators said in the affidavit. Deputies arrested Smith and charged her for resisting an officer without violence.  ____________________________________________________ If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! ______________________________________________________  From: Glenda Re: Toner Dear Webby, There must be hundreds of toner dealers out there. Which ones can be trusted? Glenda  Dear Glenda There are actually only a handful of real toner dealers, if even that. There are hundreds of order processors, but the toner seems to be shipped from the same national warehouses for all of them. Just pick the cheapest for your area. Keep in mind that most printers now use a sleazy counter and pretend to be out of toner, after you have printed a certain number of pages. With many of them you can find online instructions for resetting the counter. For example, if you have never printed anything yellow, or anything in any -color, just black, and the printer claims to be out of yellow, then it is obviously just the sleazy counter. Search on the net for how to reset the counter on that particular printer. Have FUN! DearWebby

 A young minister sitting down to dinner was about to say Grace when he opened the casserole dish that his thrifty bride had prepared from all of the refrigerator leftovers. "I don't know," he said dubiously, "but it seems to me that I've blessed all this stuff already." ____________________________________________ An old lady had always wanted to travel abroad. Now that she was getting on in years, she thought she would really like to do so before she died. But until now, she'd never even been out of the country. So she began by going in person to the Passport Office and asking how long it would take to have one issued. "You must take the loyalty oath first," responded the passport clerk. "Raise your right hand, please." The old gal raised her right hand. "Do you swear to defend the Constitution of the United States against all its enemies, domestic or foreign?" was the first question. The little old lady's face paled and her voice trembled as she asked in a small voice: "Uhhh... all by myself? Well, I suppose somebody is going to have to start doing that." ____________________________________________ Tammy and Ann were sitting in church during a rather lengthy sermon. Finally, Tammy turned to Ann and said, "You know, I've been sitting here so long, my butt fell asleep!" Ann turned to her and said, "I know! I heard it snoring!" ______________________________________________
