The act severed the last colonial links with Britain. ____________________________________________________ Silence is one of the hardest arguments to refute. --- Josh Billings (1818 - 1885) ____________________________________________________ Do softly recited his nightly prayers while kneeling down. The mother was kneeling down beside. "Say your prayers louder, Do, I can't hear you," said mother. "But I'm not praying to you." was Do's immediate reply. ____________________________________________________ Robert, age eight, was the son of strict Presbyterian parents. He was very, very good, worked hard at school, did his chores, and was generally helpful and obedient. But one morning, for some reason, he came down to breakfast in a very nasty mood. When his mother served him prunes, he snarled, "I don't want prunes," and he refused to eat them. His parents were aghast, and his father said, "Robert, you know that Lord commanded children to honor and obey their parents, and He will punish those who do not." But Robert still refused and was angrily sent back to bed, and the prunes were put in the refrigerator. A few minutes later, a terrible thunderstorm came up with great roars of thunder and flashes of lightning. "Ah, wonderful," said Robert's mother, "this will teach him a lesson." To their great surprise though, Robert came to the top of the stairs and called down: "Sounds like God doesn't want you to make such a fuss about some silly prunes!" ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ Two men were sitting at a bar recounting their dreams. "I dreamed I was on vacation," one man said fondly. "It was just me and my fishing rod and this big beautiful lake. What a dream." "I had a great dream too," said the other. "I dreamed I was in bed with two beautiful women and having the time of my life." His companion looked over and exhorted, "You dreamed you had two women, and you didn't call me?" "Oh, I did," said the other, "but when I called, you'd gone fishing." ____________________________________________________ Reported by Rock An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by Dominique Rashad Rogers, 26, Winter Haven. Florida, USA Neighbors grab burglary suspect who attacked Winter Haven homeowner, hold him down until police arrive Neighbors rushed to help a Winter Haven homeowner who had been attacked by an alleged burglar, holding down the suspect until police arrived. Winter Haven police said the homeowner was inside his house on Palm Lane around 5:15 p.m. on Tuesday. That's when investigators said 26-year-old Dominique Rashad Rogers walked into the home uninvited and immediately attacked the homeowner, grabbing him by the torso. As the two struggled and fell on the floor, another person inside the home ran to a neighbor's house, frantically yelling for help. RELATED: Hit-and-run driver's sentence includes 50 hours of service at trauma hospital While the neighbor called 911, the homeowner managed to break free from Rogers and went to grab his gun. Rogers ran outside the house, where neighbors grabbed the suspect and held him down until officers arrived. The homeowner suffered minor injuries and was treated by paramedics on scene. No one else was injured during the incident. Police arrested Rogers and charged him with two felonies: burglary with battery, and burglary of an occupied structure. DearWebby's Tech Support Pits From: Rolf Re: Diff between JPG and GIF Dear Webby What is the real difference between JPG and GIF pictures? Rolf Dear Rolf GIF is an older style, not as fine as JPG. However, GIF does have a few features, that are not normally avalable with JPG, for example animations. The major drawback with GIF is that pictures are realtively coarse, and stay coarse even if you later save them in JPG format. A bonus for GIF is that the pictures are stable. They don't deteriorate further, lik JPG pictures do with each saving. If you have to do a lot of editing on the same picture, save it in PNG format, or PSD. Those do not deterirate with each saving. Have FUN! DearWebby A Japanese book publisher created an English edition of their book about sports rules, never running the translation by a native English speaker. After selling about 700,000 copies and getting about that many complaints, they came to understand that the book title ''Love Sports'' was somewhat misleading. The book has now been renamed to ''We Love Sports.'' | If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! | If you like my work,

"Let's see....... I'd break her cane, shoot her guide dog, and call a cab to take her back to the institution she escaped from." ____________________________________________ After a heart-transplant operation, the patient was receiving instructions from his doctor. He was placed on a strict diet, denied alcohol and advised to get at least four hours' sleep a night. Finally, the patient asked: "What about my sex life, Doc? Will it be all right for me to have intercourse?" "Just with your wife," responded the doctor. We don't want you to get too excited for a while." ____________________________________________ A woman goes into a meat market and asks the butcher why his porkchops are 99 cents a pound when the guy across the street is selling his for 89 cents? The butcher says: "Well then, why don't you go over there and buy his?" The lady customer says: "He doesn't have any." The butcher says: "Well thats nothing, when I don't have any, I sell mine for 79 cents." ____________________________________________ | Ophelia Dingbatter's NewsNo sermon and not suitable for church, just jokes and fun for grownups.
