Somebody forgot the corkscrew and for several days we had to live on nothing but food and water. --- W. C.

He delivered the pizza to his trailer. After giving it to him, Mr. Smith asked: "What is the usual tip?" "Well," replied the youth, "this is my first trip here, but the other guys say if I get a quarter out of you, I'll be doing great." "Is that so?" snorted Mr. Smith. "Well, just to show them how wrong they are, here's five dollars." "Thanks," replied the youth, "I'll put this in my school fund." "What are you studying in school?" asked Larry. The lad smiled and said: "Applied psychology." ______________________________________________________` Green School Bus by John Deere _____________________________________________________ If you like the Humor Letter, please vote! Thanks for your votes! ___________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by Robert Kinser, 37, Lincoln, Nebraska Dope flown by drone onto prison A former inmate of a Nebraska prison was arrested yesterday for allegedly using a drone to deliver marijuana and tobacco to the lockup in Lincoln, a smuggling bid that failed when the $1300 quadcopter crashed. Investigators charged Robert Kinser, 37, with possession of marijuana with intent to deliver, a felony, in connection with a plot to introduce contraband into the Lincoln Correctional Center, which houses about 500 male prisoners. According to an arrest warrant, an inmate on a work detail last year found a downed DJI Phantom 4 drone on prison property. Two plastic pouches holding pot, tobacco, and rolling papers were attached to the crashed unmanned aerial vehicle. The warrant does not address for whom the contraband was intended. The drone, investigators determined, was outfitted with an after- market release mechanism which allowed for remotely activating the deployment of the drone's payload. Additionally, the drone's navigation lights were covered with black tape. A subsequent Nebraska State Patrol examination of the drone's memory card yielded video clips and still images, some of which were shot at a demolition site where Kinser worked as a foreman. Extracted GPS data showed that the drone was flown above or in the vicinity of the prison on two days. Questioned about the recovered images, Kinser acknowledged piloting the drone over the work site. However, when asked about another photo that was taken over the Lincoln prison's grounds, Kinser denied responsibility for that drone image. Pictured in the above mug shot, Kinser denied trying to fly contraband beyond the prison's walls. He also claimed not to have lost control or crashed the drone near the prison. Asked about the quadcopter's remote drop mechanism, Kinser said it was for fishing with the drone. Kinser spent about nine years incarcerated in the Lincoln prison. Convicted of methamphetamine distribution, assault on a peace officer, and weapons possession, Kinser was released from custody in December 2010. The arrest warrant notes that Kinser has tattoos indicating ties to white supremacist views and northern European heathenism symbolism. Kinser told an investigator that he sold the Phantom 4 drone via Craigslist within a week or two of purchasing it. He said that the buyer gave him $800 in a Walmart parking lot for the drone and all of its accessories. But Kinser was unable to provide proof of the Craigslist ad or any of the text messages he claimed to have exchanged with the buyer. A subpoena to Craigslist returned no drone ads connected to Kinser's email address. A police examination of Kinser's phone revealed an application that was used to fly the DJI drone. Flight data stored on the app showed that the drone had been flown above and near the Lincoln prison on multiple days. If convicted of the new felony drug charge, Kinser faces a maximum 20-year prison sentence. DearWebby's Tech Support Pits From: Theresa Re: Alternative to W10 Dear Webby Is there ANY alternative to W10 ? Everything takes so much longer and is really klutzy on W10. You mentioned a Classic version once, or ten times, but I was too snooty and thought I would not need it. Well, I have a new machine now, and it is handicapped with W10. Tossing it out through the window is not an option. They would just get me another W10 machine. Theresa Dear Theresa Go to http://www.classicshell.net/ Microsoft will still count you as a W10 user, but just like the Millions of Classic Shell users, you actually get your cozy W7 user interface.

"Well, let's see," replied the student. "It's Wednesday afternoon.

___________________________________________________ >From PS It was a hectic day of running errands with my wife and son. As if the stress weren't enough, four-year-old Christopher insisted on asking questions about everything, told me how to drive better, and sang every song he knew. Finally, fed up with the incessant chatter, I made him an offer: "Christopher, if you'll be quiet for just a few minutes, I'll give you a quarter." It worked. But when we stopped for lunch, I unknowingly began to harp on him. "Christopher, sit up straight ... don't spill your drink ... don't talk with your mouth full." Finally he said seriously, "Dad, if you'll be quiet for just a few minutes, I'll give you a quarter." ___________________________________________________ Hailey, 4, heard a thunderstorm rumbling overhead and asked her parents and grandparents to listen to it. After the thunder stopped, Hailey told everyone to be quiet for a minute and she began to pray and asked God to stop the thunder and lightning. Immediately after she said "Amen," another clap of thunder was heard. Hailey looked up towards heaven and said, "You're not listening!" ___________________________________________________ | Ophelia Dingbatter's NewsNo sermon and not suitable for church, just jokes and fun for grownups.

Thanks to Sandie for this story: A priest was being honored at his retirement dinner after 25 years in the parish. A leading local politician and member of the congregation was chosen to make the presentation and give a little speech at the dinner. He was delayed, so the priest decided to say his own few words while they waited. "I got my first impression of the parish from the first confession I heard here. I thought I had been assigned to a terrible place. The very first person who entered my confessional told me he had stolen a television set and, when questioned by the police, was able to lie his way out of it. He had stolen money from his parents, embezzled from his employer, had an affair with his boss' wife and taken illegal drugs. I was appalled, but as the days went on, I knew that my people were not all like that and I had, indeed, come to a fine parish full of good and loving people." Just as the priest finished his talk, the politician arrived full of apologies for being late. He immediately began to make the presentation and gave his talk. "I'll never forget the first day our parish priest arrived," said the politician. "In fact, I had the honor of being the first person to go to him for confession." ___________________________________________________ | Today, June 10 in 1776 The Continental Congress appointed a committee to write a Declaration of Independence. 1793 The Jardin des Plantes zoo opened in Paris.
