Today's Bonehead Award: Arkansas City man arrested on two child rapes __________________________________________ A senator is visiting a primary school. In one class, he asks the students if anyone can give him an example of a "tragedy." One little boy stands up and offers that, "If my best friend who lives next door is playing in the street when a car came by and killed him, that would be a tragedy." "No," the Senator says, "That would be an ACCIDENT." A girl raises her hand. "If a school bus carrying fifty children drove off a cliff, killing everyone inside ... that would be a tragedy." "I'm afraid not," explains the Senator. "That is what we would call a GREAT LOSS." The room is silent; none of the other children dare volunteer. "What?" asks the Senator, "Isn't there anyone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?" Finally Little Johnny in the back raises his hand. In a timid voice, he says: "If an airplane carrying a Senator was blown up by a bomb, *that* would be a tragedy." "Marvelous!" the Senator beams. "And can you tell me WHY that would be a tragedy?" "Well," says Johnny, "because it wouldn't be an accident, and it certainly would be no great loss!" __________________________________________ Head rest __________________________________________ A large sinkhole opens up on a remote town. An alarming number of people fall into it and injure themselves and it's difficult to get them all to the small hospital they have. The mayor gathers the city council to figure out a solution. The smartest city councilor suggests they park an ambulance next to the hole to get people to the hospital faster. The rest unanimously agree. However, they only have 2 ambulances and they're needed more in the center of the town to get there quickly. So the mayor gathers the council a second time. The second smartest councilor suggests they close the road between the hole and the hospital so the ambulance can ferry people faster. Everyone nods in deep wisdom. Alas, after a few days it's obviously not really doing much and it just creates more accidents with too many cars on the smaller roads. Finally they gather for a third time to take drastic measures. The third smartest councilor says they need to tear down the hospital and rebuild it next to the hole. Finally the mayor can't take it anymore. He slams his fist on the table and yells: "You idiots! Do you know how much moving the hospital will cost?! There's an obvious and easy solution to this problem! We fill in the hole and then we dig a new one next to the hospital!" ___________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by Bobby Dean Jones, 32, Arkansas City, Kansas Arkansas City man arrested on two child rapes The Arkansas City Police Department arrested an Arkansas City man Tuesday on suspicion of raping two juveniles females who are younger than 14. Bobby Dean Jones, 32, was arrested on suspicion of two felony counts of rape by sexual intercourse with a child younger than 14 years old. He was transported to and booked into the Cowley County Jail in Winfield in lieu of $250,000 bond through Cowley County District Court in Arkansas City. Jones remained in custody at the time of this report. The police departments investigations division began conducting an ongoing sexual abuse investigation Tuesday in response to several incidents reported to have occurred in the previous days. Since then, numerous interviews were conducted with all parties involved and multiple pieces of evidence were collected for forensic examination. Through the course of the investigation, police determined they had sufficient evidence to take Jones into custody as a suspect in the case. DearWebby's Tech Support Pits From: Wendy Re: Can Opne Office read DOC ? Dear Webby, I had Microsoft Office at work, but I am retired now, and Microsoft Office is not in my budget. Can I read stuff written with Microsoft Office WORD, in DOC format, if I download the Open Office? Wendy Dear Wendy Yes, sure. Open office has always been able to read and work on .DOC files, and even save them back as .DOC. Millions of students all over the world have done that for many years, and their teachers or professors never noticed the difference. If it is just for your own use or for printing, you can leave it in ODT (Open Document). Nowadays even Microsoft Office can open .ODT documents. Have FUN! DearWebby

____________________________________________________ _____________________________________________ DEFINITION OF OUTDOOR BARBECUING It's the only type of cooking a "real" man will do When a man volunteers to do such cooking, the following chain of events is put into motion: (1) The woman goes to the store. (2) The woman fixes the salad, vegetables, and dessert. (3) The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray along with the necessary cooking utensils, and takes it to the man, who is lounging beside the grill, drinking a beer. (4) The man places the meat on the grill. (5) The woman goes inside to set the table and check the vegetables. (6) The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is burning. (7) The man takes the meat off the grill and hands it to the woman. (8) The woman prepares the plates and brings them to the table. (9) After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes. (10) The man asks the woman how she enjoyed "her night off." And, upon seeing her annoyed reaction, concludes that there's just no pleasing some women. _____________________________________________ Having arrived at the edge of the river, the fisherman soon realized he had forgotten to bring any bait. Just then he happened to see a little Copperhead snake passing by who had caught a worm. The fisherman snatched up the snake and robbed him of his worm. Feeling sorry for the little snake with no lunch, he_ snatched him up again and poured a little beer down his throat and went about his fishing. An hour or so later the fisherman felt a tug at his pant leg. Looking down, he saw the same snake with three more worms. ____________________________________________ When you want a man to play with you, wear a full-length black nightgown with buttons all over it. Sure it's uncomfortable. But it makes you look just like his remote control. ____________________________________________ | No sermon and not suitable for church, just jokes and fun for grownups.
