The conviction was later overturned on a legal technicality because the judge had set the fine instead of the jury. _____________________________________________________ Today's Bonehead Award: Valley woman arrested for scamming dozens of families by faking ______________________________________________________ It has yet to be proven that intelligence has any survival value. --- Arthur C. Clarke (1917 - ) _____________________________________________________ A young boy came to Sunday School late. His teacher knew that he was usually very prompt and asked him if anything was wrong. The boy replied no, that he was going fishing but his dad told him that he needed to go to church. The teacher was very impressed and asked the boy if his dad had explained to him why it was more important to go to church than to go fishing? The boy replied, "Yes he did. Dad said he didn't have enough bait for both of us." _____________________________________________________ Sylvia, Edmonton, AB ___________________________________________________ As I walked down the hall in our middle school, I overheard a student make a very insightful comment. I poked my head into the classroom and said, "Your students are certainly very astute!" Then another student turned toward me and said, "No, we're not astute, we're a-stupid!" (yes, this really happened!) ___________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by Kellie Walker, 28, Fresno, California Valley woman arrested for scamming dozens of families by faking cancer for 6 years Kellie Walker was just 22 years old when she allegedly began faking stage 2 Ovarian cancer, preying on the sympathy of her community and her own family to get more than $10,000 for medical bills that didn't exist. 28-year-old Kellie Walker was just 22 years old when she began faking stage two Ovarian cancer for cash, according to investigators. Mariposa County sheriff's detectives arrested the woman on Thursday at the Fresno Yosemite International Airport. In 2014, they say Walker began preying on the sympathy of her community and her own family to get more than $10,000 for medical bills that didn't exist. Friends and family set up a bank account at a local bank branch, and a fundraising dinner was held, where it is believed over 200 guests attended, all in order to help Walker and her family deal with the diagnosis and associated medical expenses. In addition to the bank account and fundraising dinner, a GoFundMe account was created and shared on social media, where funds were also donated. To maintain the charade, Walker allegedly asked close friends and family to drive her and drop her off at medical appointments. She sent 'thank you' emails to many of her donors letting them know she was currently going through chemotherapy treatments and thanking many of them for the funds they donated to help pay her medical expenses. More than 60 people donated money to her, the Mariposa County Sheriff's Office says. It wasn't until last year that a concerned citizen reported the plot to the sheriff's office, when they found out Walker was pregnant. They told investigators Walker had claimed she had reproductive organs removed as a result of her diagnosis. Walker is now at the Mariposa County Adult Detention Facility on several charges, including Grand Theft. DearWebby's Tech Support Pits From: Billie RE: Coron a Virus Testing Dear Webby, This has nothing to do with the web or computers, but you always have an answer for anything. You mentioned something once about a preliminary corona virus test, but I lost that issue. Please tell me again! Billie Dear Billie You may have noticed that at the hospital or medical clinic they point a bule laser thingie at you, and then tell you that you are OK and that they won't have to put you down. Well, the blue laser thingie is justb a no-contact thermometer. The blue dot is just so that they accurately point it at your neck and not at the cute nurse behind you. Well, you COULD buy one of those Chinese thermometers for around $30 (with shipping), or you could use your built in tester, for free. Take the back of a reasonably clean index finger, place it gently under the tip of your nose for ONE second. If the under-side of the tip of your nose feels cool and moist, then you are not infected. If it feels hot and dry, get to the hospital for the official check or referral to a testing station. Hot and dry means you are infected and can pass the virus on, even if you are not coughing, yet. Do me a favor and perform that ONE second test once a day! Have FUN! DearWebby | If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! | If you like my work,
