After much discussion, they passed a rule that whenever the preacher's family expanded, so would his paycheck. After 6 children, this started to get expensive and the Congregation decided to hold another meeting to discuss the preacher's salary. There was much yelling and bickering about how much the clergyman's additional children were costing the church. Finally, the Preacher got up and spoke to the crowd, "Children are a gift from God," he said. Silence fell on the congregation. In the back pew, a little old lady stood up and in her frail voice said, "Rain is also a gift from God, but when we get too much of it, we wear rubbers." And the congregation said, "Amen." _____________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ Little Johnny's teacher sent a note home to his Mother saying, "Johnny seems to be a very bright boy, but spends too much of his time thinking about sex and girls."

Thanks for your votes! ______________________________________________________ Reported by the Bausell Sailor An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by Katie Quackenbush, 26, Nashville, Tennessee Porsche Driver Shot Homeless Man in Nashville, who had asked her to move her car. A wanna-be country singer from Texas has been charged with the attempted murder of a homeless Tennessee man who asked her to move her Porsche. Police say 26-year-old Katie Quackenbush shot Gerald Melton, 54, after he complained about loud music and exhaust fumes from the Porsche SUV where she was sitting with a friend while he was trying to sleep on a sidewalk near Nashville's Music Row around 3am on Aug. 26, the AP reports. Police say that after a loud argument, Quackenbush got out of her vehicle with a gun and shot Melton twice in the abdomen before leaving the scene hurriedly without calling authorities. Melton is still in a Nashville hospital with critical injuries. Quackenbush's father, an attorney in Amarillo, of course gives a totally different version of events. Jesse Quackenbush says after Melton screamed threats in the vehicle's window and walked away, his daughter grabbed her gun to escort her friend back to her vehicle. He says when Melton walked toward her again, she closed her eyes and fired two "warning shots" before leaving, unaware she had injured the man. "She didn't try and kill this guy," he says. "She had no intention of killing him. She didn't know that she hit him." WSMV reports that Quackenbush, who was released on $25,000 bond after being charged Monday night, was arrested for assault in Texas in 2013 and again in December last year. She was dark haired at that time. Quackenbush has a 5 year old son. Quackenbush has posted a screechy "song" on YouTube in 2015, but is not known for having actually sold any music. _________________________________ Tech Support Pits From: Linda Re: AVG warning Dear Webby, Yesterday's advice about free AVG has to be taken with a big grain of salt! It too is a Broom Hilda! Unless it is the one and only anti virus program on the machine, it whines and accuses all others of being malware and even sabotages them! AVG Free can only be used, if it is the ONLY anti-virus program on the machine. Linda Dear Linda Yes, you are right. Only use AVG if you can not afford any of the anti malware programs, that are good enough to sell for actual money. Have FUN! DearWebby The teacher told the kids to draw a grassy meadow and a cow eating the grass. By the end of the hour, all the kids had some more or less artistic rendering of that topic, except for Do. Do had a blank page. So the teacher asked, "Where is your grass?" Do answered: "The cow ate it all." Then the teacher asked: "Where is the cow?" Do answered: "When there was no grass left, the cow walked away. | If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! | |

So when an advertising company offered to put my father's business placard in the shopping carts of a supermarket, my dad jumped at the chance. Fully a year went by before we got a call that could be traced to those placards. "Richard Larson, CPA?" the caller asked. "That's right," my father answered. "May I help you?" "Yes," the voice said.
