 Oh, what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to believe. --- Laurence J. Peter (1919 - 1988) Political correctness is the coward's substitute for integrity. --- Socratex ______________________________________________________ Thanks to Sandie for this story: After buying her kids a pet hamster, after they promised they would take care of it, mom, as usual, ended up with the responsibility. One evening, exasperated, she asked them, "How many times do you think that hamster would have died if I hadn't looked after it?" After a moment, her five-year-old son replied quizzically, "Uh, once?" ________________________________________________ If you like the Humor Letter, please vote!  ______________________________________________________ Thanks to Dave for this story: Our family owned restaurant is the setting for many of our discussions about how to handle the customer who asks, "What's good tonight?" Obviously, we would never serve anything we didn't think was good. I braced myself one Saturday night when I heard the dreaded question posed to my husband. He calmly replied, "Anything over $13.95." _____________________________________________________   ______________________________________________________ A member of the Senate, known for his hot temper and acid tongue, explodes one day in mid session and begins to shout, "Half of this Senate is made up of cowards and corrupt politicians!" All the other Senators plead to the angry member that he withdraw his statement, or be removed from the remainder of the session. After a long pause, the angry member accepted and said, "Okay, I withdraw what I said. Half of this Senate is NOT made up of cowards and corrupt politicians!" ______________________________________________________   _____________________________________________________

 ___________________________________________________   An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  James Lockhart, 30, Manatee County, Floriduh  Floriduh girl, 2, 'screamed and cried while being raped by dad for dark web video'  A two year-old girl 'screamed and cried' while being raped by her father in an eight minute video he uploaded to the dark web, police say. Horrifying details of the abuse the toddler allegedly suffered at the hands of her father James Lockhart were outlined as it was revealed he faces the death penalty if convicted of the abuse. A criminal complaint seen by WFLA explained: 'The video documents the rape. 'The toddler continues to scream and cry.' According to the Miami Herald, Lockhart, 30, also made posts on securely encrypted web pages detailing his sexual experiences with a young girl and boy, while asking for suggestions of things he could do and promising future updates. Homeland Security officers traced Lockhart to his home through instant messaging service Kik on October 5. They showed the alleged pedophile's wife clips with the little girl's face blurred out. She is said to have instantly recognized her daughter, her husband's hand, their couch and the girl's stuffed animal toy, an indictment claims. Further analysis proved that the hand in the video matched Lockhart's, with handwriting analysis further showing that the father's script matched a handwritten sign seen on-screen. The girl alleged to have been abused and her twin brother were taken into custody on the day of their father's arrest. An indictment seen by the Herald explained that Lockhart was initially investigated by Boston-based agents trying to track down the people behind child abuse clips. The suspect is said to have made other postings under the name HardWood. Manatee County Sheriff's Office say Lockhart is facing numerous charges, including capital sexual battery meaning he could be put to death if convicted.

 After the Great Britain Beer Festival in London, all the brewery presidents decided to go out for a beer. The guy from Corona sat down at the bar and said to the bartender, "Senor, I would like the world's best beer, a Corona." The bartender dusted off a bottle from the shelf and gave it to him. The head of Budweiser said, "I'd like the best beer in the world. Give me 'The King Of Beers', a Budweiser." The bartender gave him one. The Coors chief said, "I'd like the only beer made with Rocky Mountain spring water, give me a Coors." The bartender got it. The Guinness man sat down and said, "Give me a Coke." The bartender was a little taken aback, but gave it to him. The other brewery presidents looked at him and asked, "Why aren't you drinking a Guinness?" The Guinness president replied, "Well, I figured if you guys aren't drinking beer, neither would I."

 The right side of a boat was called the starboard side due to the fact that the astro-navigators used to stand out on a plank (which was on the right side) to get an unobstructed view of the stars. The left side was called the port side, because that was the side that they put toward the dock when they pulled into port. This was so they didn't knock off the starboard.  Actually, it goes back a lot further than that. In the days before personal firearms, ships had a stair going upstairs to where the captain and the officers were. That stair was always on the right side. Access to the stair was through a tunnel from the port side, forcing any pirates or enemies to attack in single file before getting to the stair. Later, when they got canons, those were always on the port side, never on the stair side. The powder was usually stored downstairs on the stair side, because a shot into the powder magazine usually sunk the ship. Good old days!  ___________________________________________________  Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com Thriftyfun.com Buying Big Ticket Items  The poor country pastor was livid when he confronted his wife with the receipt for a $250 dress she had bought. "How could you do this!" he exclaimed. "I don't know," she wailed, "I was standing in the store looking at the dress. Then I found myself trying it on. It was like the Devil was whispering to me, 'Gee, you look great in that dress. You should buy it.'" "Well," the pastor persisted, "You know how to deal with him! Just tell him, "Get behind me, Satan!" "I did," replied his wife, "but then he said "It looks great from back here, too!" 8 Tip provided by Thriftyfun.com  ____________________________________________________

 ___________________________________________________ A protestor said to his girlfriend, "I'm on my way to pick up my unemployment check. Then I've got to go to the university to see what's holding up this month's Federal Education Grant. Meanwhile you can go over to the Free Clinic and check up on your tests. And right after I stop by the Welfare Department to see if they will up our eligibility limit again I'll meet you at the Federal Building for the demonstration against this rotten, oppressive Republican establishment....!" ___________________________________________________ A lecturer teaching medicine was tutoring a class on 'Observation'. He took out a jar of yellow-colored liquid. "This", he explained, "is urine. To be a doctor, you have to be observant to color, smell, sight, and taste." After saying this, he dipped a finger into the jar and put it into his mouth. His class watched on in amazement, most, in disgust. But being the good students that they were, the jar was passed, and one by one, they dipped one finger into the jar and then put it into their mouth. After the last student was done, the lecturer shook his head. "If any of you had been observant, you would have noticed that I put my 2nd finger in to the jar and my 3rd finger into my mouth." ___________________________________________________

 At the airport for a trip, I settled down to wait for the boarding announcement at Gate B35. Then I heard the voice on the public address system saying, "We apologize for the inconvenience, but Delta Flight 570 will board from Gate E41." So my family picked up our luggage and carried it over to Gate E41. Not ten minutes later the public address voice told us that Flight 570 would in fact be boarding from Gate B35. So again we gathered our carry-on luggage and returned to the original gate. Just as we were settling down, the public address voice spoke again: "Thank you for participating in Delta's physical fitness program."
