It was his technique for putting sound on motion picture film. ____________________________________________________ The farther behind I leave the past, the closer I am to forging my own character. --- Isabelle Eberhardt ____________________________________________________ Two priests were riding very fast on a motorcycle. They were stopped promptly by a policeman, who said, "What do you think you are doing? You were going mighty fast there, Father." The priest says, "We were just taking the bike for a spin...see how it runs." The policeman shakes his head. "Im going to have to give you a ticket. Driving like that isn't safe. What if you have an accident?" The priests say, "Don't worry, my son. Jesus is with us." The policeman says, "In that case, I have to book you. Three on a motorcycle falls under reckless driving." ____________________________________________________ A girl walked up to the information desk in a hospital and asked to see the "upturn". "I think you mean the 'intern', don't you?" asked the nurse on duty. "Whatever," said the girl. "I want to have a contamination.'" "You mean 'examination,'" the nurse corrected her. "Whatever, I want to go to the 'fraternity ward,' anyway." "I'm sure you mean the maternity ward." To which the girl replied: "Upturn, intern; contamination, examination, fraternity, maternity.... what's the difference? All I know is I haven't demonstrated in two months, and I think I'm stagnant." ____________________________________________________ See the bees! ___________________________________________________ A Catholic priest, a Protestant minister, and a Jewish rabbi were discussing when life begins. "Life begins," said the priest, "at the moment of fertilization. That is when God instills the spark of life into the fetus." "We believe," said the minister, "that life begins at birth, because that is when the baby becomes an individual and is capable of making its own decisions and must learn about sin." "You've both got it wrong," said the rabbi. "Life begins when the children have graduated from college and moved out of the house." __________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by Ali Elmezayen, 45, Hawthprne, California. USA California man who killed sons in insurance scheme jailed for 200+ years A California man was sentenced to more than 200 years in prison on Thursday after drowning his two autistic sons by driving his car off a pier in order to collect on life insurance policies he had taken out on them. Ali Elmezayen, 45, drove the family's Honda sedan -- with his ex-wife and two sons inside -- off a wharf in San Pedro, south of Los Angeles, on April 9, 2015. His sons, aged eight and 13, drowned but his ex-wife, Raba Diab, was saved by a fisherman who threw her a flotation device. Elmezayen escaped through an open driver's side window and swam to a ladder on the dock. Following the deaths of his sons, Elmezayen, an Egyptian national, collected more than $260,000 on insurance policies from two companies. Authorities said Elmezayen transferred most of the money to Egypt and about $80,000 was seized from his US account. Elmezayen was convicted in October 2019 of federal charges of mail and wire fraud, identity theft and money laundering. US District Judge John Walter sentenced him to 212 years in prison and denounced what he called the "vicious and callous nature of his crimes." "He is the ultimate phony and a skillful liar," Walter said. "The only regret that the defendant has is that he got caught." Elmezayen still faces state charges for the murder of his two sons and attempted murder of his ex-wife. DearWebby's Tech Support Pits From:Wendy Re: Wired mouse or wireless? Dear Webby My ancient mouse is due to be retired. I want one of the modern 5 or 7 button mice, that you have beenrecommending since the 90s. The question I have is should I get a wired or a wireless mouse? I am, unfortunately, handicapped with W10. Wendy Dear Wendy A wireless mouse is 3 - 4 times as expensive, not because of manufacturing cost, but because of demand. They can get away with charging more. They work exactly the same, though W10 does have some problems with wireless mice. Unless your desk is a chaotic mess, I would recommend that you save $75 and get the wired version. They both work the same. I use a wireless on the right machine and a wired one on the left machine. With W10 you are better off getting a Microsoft mouse, not the Logitech. W10 seems to be sabotaging the Logitech wireless mouse. On W7 it makes no difference and you can use either one. Have FUN! DearWebby A man in a hurry taking his 8-year-old son to school, made a turn at a red light where it was prohibited. "Uh-oh, I just made an illegal turn!" the man said. "Aw, Dad, it's okay" the son said. " The police car right behind us did the same thing." | If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! | If you like my work,

_____________________________________________ "How was your blind date?" a college student asked her roommate. "Terrible!" the roommate answered. "He showed up in his 1932 Rolls Royce." "Wow! That's a very expensive car. What's so bad about that?" "He was the original owner." ____________________________________________ A lovely young girl was employed by a clothing firm in New York. She and her widowed mother shared the same ambition... ...her marriage to a wealthy man. One day she returned from work, eyes red from crying. As soon as she entered the apartment she called, "MAMA, I'm pregnant! Don't get excited. The father is my boss." She began to sob uncontrollably while her mother tried to console her. The next morning, the mother charged into the office of the boss. "YOU," she shouted, "You brought shame upon my daughter and upon my house! I will NEVER forgive you and I will make you regret it for the rest of your miserable life ! ...... "and on and on she ranted and screamed. The elegantly attired man, handsome and unmarried and in his mid thirties, held up his hand: "Please take a seat, Mrs. Horowitz. I'm making all the arrangements. Your daughter Sharon will have the best doctor money can buy before the baby is born. She'll be in the best hospita. And afterward, I am arranging for a trust fund for her and the baby where she will receive a check for twenty five hundred dollars a week for life." The mother was taken aback and thought for a moment. "Tell me," she said, "God forbid, Sharon should have a miscarriage, will you give her another chance?" ____________________________________________ Company Excercise Program: This company claims not to need any further exercise programs because their empoyees already are jumping to conclusions, beating around the bush, running down the boss, going around in circles, dragging their feet, dodging responsibility, passing the buck, climbing the ladder, wading through paperwork, pulling strings, throwing their weight around, stretching the truth, bending the rules, and pushing their luck by bouncing checks in the cafeteria! ____________________________________________ | Ophelia Dingbatter's NewsNo sermon and not suitable for church, just jokes and fun for grownups.
