Today's Bonehead Award: Des Moines Woman Charged With Attempted Murder in two Intentional Hit and Runs __________________________________________ If you like the Humor Letter, please vote! _______________________________________________ I have left orders to be awakened at any time in case of national emergency, even if I'm in a cabinet meeting. --- Ronald Reagan (1911 - 2004) _______________________________________________ A young woman, a military dependant, came into the dental clinic with a problem tooth. She had several children and appeared to be quite ready to give birth to another one at almost any moment. It was necessary to use X-rays to locate the source of her problem, so she was conducted to the dental unit with an X-ray machine, and her husband followed. The X-ray technician was lining up the cone of the machine preparatory to making the first exposure, when he noticed that the young woman's husband was standing beyond her, but in a position where he would receive some radiation after it passed through her teeth. Being well trained, the technician stopped and asked the fellow to move to a safer position. "Sir, please step over there. Too much of this radiation will make you sterile." A broad smile appeared on the young woman's face, he eyes grew wide with excitement, and she clapped her hands while saying, "Joe, come here, hold my hand!" ________________________________________________` ____________________________________________________ If you like the Humor Letter, please vote! Thanks for your votes! ___________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by Nicole Poole, 42, Des Moines, Iowa Des Moines Woman Charged With Attempted Murder in two Intentional Hit and Runs A Des Moines woman who police say intentionally ran down a teen because of her race is now charged with attempted murder for hitting a 12-year-old boy with her vehicle earlier that day. Police say 42-year-old Nicole Poole intentionally hit a boy with her SUV about an hour before she allegedly hit a 14-year- old girl at Indian Hills Junior High. The first hit and run happened at 3:54 p.m. in the 6000 block of Creston Avenue on Dec. 9. Witnesses reportedly saw an SUV accelerate, leave the roadway and hit the boy as he walked on the sidewalk at an apartment complex property. The SUV then fled the scene. Police said the child's injuries were minor. About an hour later, police say Poole intentionally struck and seriously injured a 14-year-old girl near Indian Hills Junior High. Clive police said that Poole admitted to targeting the girl because she was "Mexican." Des Moines police have confirmed the 12-year-old boy was also a minority, saying he is black. Poole was later arrested when she went to a West Des Moines gas station 15 minutes after the second hit and run and allegedly started yelling racist comments toward a cashier. She has been charged with a hate crime for this incident. Abdul Jalali, the store clerk who experienced the incident, told Channel 13 that Poole attempted to steal a bottle of liquor from his arms and that she also started throwing merchandise on the floor and throughout the store. He says the incident lasted between 35-45 minutes before police arrived. Clive police say Poole admitted to smoking methamphetamine earlier in the day of the incidents. Poole faces attempted murder charges in both hit-and-run crashes. "The hateful motivation seems so apparent to all of us. When we go to charge these crimes, I think law enforcement in the neighborhoods want to send a very strong message that if you commit a crime that's motivated like this, we are going to hit you with the most serious charge we can because we want the consequences to be severe, and that's the attempted murder here," said Des Moines Police Sgt. Paul Parizek. DearWebby's Tech Support Pits From: Ron Re: get rid of duplicates Dear Webby, I have been enjoying your letter since 1998 and have collected quite a file of your tips you have given in the letter. Well I need help again I have Windows Media Player and in the music library I seem to end up with a great many duplicates. It is a real pain to go through and delete them one by one. Is there a way remove duplicates easier. As always thanks for your input. RON Dear Ron I usually use SEARCH to find for example all wmv files. Next I sort the search results by name, and dump obvious duplicates. Then I sort them by size and dump the rest of the duplicates. There are programs available to do that for you, but personally, I don't trust them and prefer to do it manually. Have FUN! DearWebby Automatically move ALL your settings and programs. One evening a preschooler, Krystal, and her parents were sitting on the couch chatting. Krystal asked, " Daddy, are you the boss of the house?" Her father proudly replied, "Yes, I am the boss of the house." But Krystal quickly burst his bubble when she added, "Did Mommy tell you that you can play boss tonight, Daddy?" | If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! | |
The night before her wedding, Wendy talked with her mother. "Mom," she said, "I want you to teach me how to make my new husband happy." The mother took a deep breath and began, "When two people love, honor, and respect each other, love can be a very beautiful thing..." "I know all about sex, mother," Wendy interrupted. "I want you to teach me how to make a decent lasagna." ___________________________________________________ Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com Thriftyfun.com Gutter Cleaning Tips A small garden shovel works well for scooping debris out of gutters. Make your own gutter shovel with a 1 liter plastic pop bottle. Cut off the bottom of the bottle and half of the cylinder to make a scoop. If your gutters sag, the water will not flow properly. Remove all debris and re-attach gutters. Use a hose with a pressure nozzle to clean out clogged spouts. Use a plumber's snake for stubborn clogs. Patch leaks with outdoor caulk.

___________________________________________________ In the beginning, God created the earth and rested. Then God created Man and rested. Then God created Woman. Since then, neither God nor Man has rested. ___________________________________________________ My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE - "If you're going to kill each other, do it outside - I just finished cleaning!" ___________________________________________________ >From Alice My kindergarten-aged daughter suddenly announced just before school that she needed to take a clean tee shirt to class. She told us the teacher was going to iron an anti-drug message on it. My wife frantically swept through my daughter's room, finding nothing usable but one tee shirt that already had something printed on one side. She sent it off to school with my daughter. That afternoon, my daughter returned and happily showed off her shirt. On one side it said, "Families are Forever." And on the other, "Be Smart, Don't Start." __________________________________________________ | Ophelia Dingbatter's NewsNo sermon and not suitable for church, just jokes and fun for grownups.
