Today's Bonehead Award: Nurse jailed for second time for posing as man to trick women into sending nude pics ! ! ! ! _______________________________________________ If you like the Humor Letter, please vote! _______________________________________________ Genius might be described as a supreme capacity for getting its possessors into trouble of all kinds. --- Samuel Butler (1835 - 1902) hmmm. I must be a genius! _____________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ Waiting for our aerobics class to begin, several of us were standing around in our leotards chatting about fitness and diets. One woman said that her brother-in-law had quit smoking, gone on a diet and lost weight all at the same time. Thinking to myself that no human being could possibly do this without acquiring at least one other undesirable habit for compensation, I jokingly asked her, "What did he start doing instead of these things?" After a slight pause, she smiled and said, "Well, I don't really know. I'll have to ask him when he gets out of jail." ______________________________________________________` _____________________________________________________ If you like the Humor Letter, please vote! Thanks for your votes! ___________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by Adele Rennie, Kilmarnock, Ayrshire, Britain Nurse jailed for second time for posing as man to trick women into sending nude pics A former nurse who posed as a man online to con women into sending her naked pictures, has been jailed for repeating the same offence, just months after being released. Adele Rennie, 28, targeted three more victims and used voice- altering software in order to sound like a man in the so-called 'catfish' scam. Rennie, of Kilmarnock, Ayrshire, admitted posing as men named Dan, Daniel, Max and Jack during an 18-day period in which she duped victims into sending her personal information and pictures by social media apps such as Tinder and Instagram. She also tricked one of the women, a single mother, into sending a video after she posed as a lawyer. Rennie admitted the crimes, which caused her victims 'fear and alarm', at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court earlier this month. Adele Rennie sent photos of salesman Craig Dunne to pose as a male doctor. All the offences were carried out in January, only three months after she was freed from jail after serving ten months of a 22- month sentence for an identical scam. Yesterday, Rennie returned to court and was jailed for three years. The court heard how the nurse targeted a young mother by posing online as a 31-year-old lawyer named Dan from Troon, Ayrshire. After chatting online, they arranged to meet, but 'Dan' cancelled, saying she had 'too much baggage'. 'He' then sent her a video of Dean Castle Country Park in Kilmarnock, Ayrshire, where she had been, a picture of the brand of tea she liked and hinted that 'he' knew her postcode. She feared she was being stalked. One of Rennie's victims, Abbie Draper Ruaraidh Ferguson, prosecuting, said: 'Her fear grew so much, that she did not feel safe in her own home and went to stay with family members. 'She told police officers she had no intention of returning to her home, until the person responsible was caught.' After detectives played her an audio clip of Rennie's disguised voice from her 2017 prosecution, she confirmed it sounded like 'Dan'. Rennie also posed as an advocate from Troon, in a bid to trick another woman and again as a criminal lawyer to dupe a third victim. The former nurse initially claimed she was a victim of conspiracy between her previous victims, but later pled guilty to computer misuse offences causing fear and alarm to her victims in January. Jailing Rennie, Sheriff Liz McFarlane told her: 'You have behaved in a cold and calculated way to humiliate, hurt and harass people who have done nothing to deserve it.' In 2017, when she adopted the persona of a doctor, she was jailed for 22 months and placed on the sex offenders' register for ten years after duping ten victims with the same scam.

Two men at a bar had been enjoying a few drinks for the past couple of hours and were pretty drunk when one of them notices a beautiful woman sitting in the corner. One says to the other, "Jeez, I'd really like to dance with that girl." The other man replies, "Well go ahead and ask her, don't be a chicken." The man approaches the lovely woman and says, "Excuse me. Would you be so kind as to dance with me?" Seeing the man is totally drunk the woman says, "I'm sorry. Right now I'm concentrating on matrimony and I'd rather sit than dance." So the man humbly returns to his friend. "So what did she say?" asks the friend. The drunk responded, "She said she's constipated on macaroni and would rather sh*t in her pants." ___________________________________________________ Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com Thriftyfun.com Small Handy Tool Box Put together a small tool box for making minor repairs around the house.

___________________________________________________ One evening, I went with my parents to a fancy restaurant. Dad was about halfway through his meal when he took a hard look at the potato, called the waitress over and said, "This potato is bad!" To my utter amazement, the waitress at this "5-Star" place, picked the potato up, smacked it, put it back on the plate, then told my Dad, "If that potato causes any more trouble, just let me know." ___________________________________________________ When asked for her occupation, a woman charged with a traffic violation said she was a schoolteacher. The judge rose from the bench. "Madam, I have waited years for a schoolteacher to appear before this court," he smiled with delight. "Now sit down at that table and write: 'I will not pass through a red light' five hundred times!" ___________________________________________________ | Ophelia Dingbatter's NewsNo sermon and not suitable for church, just jokes and fun for grownups.

A man was driving recklessly down the interstate one day and his girlfriend in the passenger seat was getting very upset. When the man finally realized that she was not happy with his driving and said, "Baby I'm sorry for driving so recklessly; I should be more careful when I have precious cargo!" The girlfriend looked at him and said, "Oh, that's so sweet baby!" "Yeah, those golf clubs in the trunk cost a mint!" He is walking with a limp these days. And alone. ___________________________________________________ | Today, June 21 in 1404 Owain Glyndwr established a Welsh Parliament at Machynlleth and was crowned Prince of Wales. 1834 Cyrus McCormick patented the first practical mechanical reaper for farming.
