| Good Morning, Do! Today is Sunday, August 21, 2022 Thank you, Richard!! ___________________________________________________ History on this day, August 21, in 1997.

It was the largest food recall in U.S. history. ____________________________________________________ International Bonehead Award Set Car On Fire, Shot At Owner When She Walked Outside To Investigate, _________________________________________________ There are several good protections against temptations, but the surest is cowardice. --- Mark Twain (1835 - 1910) If there were no God, there would be no Atheists. --- G. K. Chesterton (1874 - 1936) Aristotle was famous for knowing everything. He taught that the brain exists merely to cool the blood and is not involved in the process of thinking. This is true only of certain persons. --- Will Cuppy __________________________________________________ A sweet young lady thought she might have some fun with a stiff-looking military man at a cocktail party, so she walked over and asked him when was the last time he had had sex. "19 56," was his immediate reply. "No wonder you look so uptight!" she exclaimed. "Honey, you need to get out more." "I'm not sure I understand you," he answered, glancing at his watch. "It's only 20 14 now." __________________________________________________ You Might be a Demo if: You feel Fidelity means not cheating on your mistress. You cry every May 4th over the four people killed at Kent State, but have never been to the Vietnam Memorial, You think those stupid ribbons actually accomplish something, You think a mother has a right to kill an innocent 5 month fetus because her pregnancy would interfere with her career, but feel we shouldn't put to death the man who raped and murdered 14 women, You feel that being convicted of treason is an infringement on your first amendment rights, You honestly feel that alcoholics deserve social security disability benefits, You outwardly said "I would have voted for Elizabeth Dole" knowing darn well you wouldn't have because she is a Republican, You think it is ok for a Democrat President to commit perjury on his sex life, but criticize Dan Quayle for spelling potato/potatoe wrong, You stood on a soapbox demanding that Anita Hill be heard, but want Paula Jones' accusations to be swept under the rug, You think the guy who drops out of High School and builds your jeep deserves more money than the doctor who went to college for 10 years and saves your kids life, You sang along to "Give Peace a Chance" during the Gulf War, You've filed for unemployment within two weeks of getting out of high school. ___________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ Reported by Rock An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by Herbert Rembert, Delray Beach, Florida, USA.

GMAIL IS FULL Dear Webby, My Gmail is full and locked! Probably all that electioneering crap with videos with political know-it-alls blatering about their politicians, which I never watch anyway. How do I dump enough of that crap without losing good stuff? Leona Dear Leona There is a top secret, "undocumented" trick: size They don't want the unwashed masses and real workers to know about that, they want you to buy extra space, so they reserve that for the tens of thousands of college kids employed by Google. Well, rather than pay back the money borowed during seven years of beer and dope at college, one of them told the secret to her mother. Go up to the search bar, and type: size:10MB That will list all the stuff that is over 10 MB in size. Click the select-all square at the left top, then hit DELETE. They are gone. Well, almost. Gmail does not let go of political crap THAT easily! That stuff has just been moved to TRASH. Select TRASH on the left, and there, on top of all that, you have the option to dump all the trash. Also dump all the spam. Now scoot all the way down and see the size number. 1.7 GB used out of the allowed 15 GB Yee-Haaaw! That deserves a GOOD coffee! HaveFUN! DearWebby _____________________________________________________ >From Connie A woman in our diet club was lamenting that she had gained weight. She'd made her family's favorite cake over the weekend, she reported, and they'd eaten half of it at dinner. Her husband teased her and said she would never be able to stay away from the other half until dinner the next night. The next day, she said, she kept staring at the other half, until finally she cut a thin slice for herself. One slice led to another, and soon the whole cake was gone. The woman went on to tell us how upset she was with her lack of willpower, and how she knew her husband would rub it in. Everyone commiserated, until someone asked what her husband said when he found out. She smiled. "He never found out. I made another cake and ate half!" ___________________________________________________ The following were answers provided by 6th graders during a history test. Watch the spelling! Some of the best humor is in the misspelling. 1. Ancient Egypt was inhabited by mummies and they all wrote in hydraulics. They lived in the Sarah Dessert. The climate of the Sarah is such that all the inhabitants have to live elsewhere. 2. Moses led the Hebrew slaves to the Red Sea where they made unleavened bread, which is bread made without any ingredients . Moses went up on Mount Cyanide to get the ten commandments. He died before he ever reached Canada. 3. Solomon had three hundred wives and seven hundred porcupines. 4. The Greeks were a highly sculptured people, and without them we wouldn't have history. The Greeks also had myths. A myth is a lesbian moth. 5. Socrates was a famous Greek teacher who went around giving people advice. They killed him. Socrates died from an overdose of wedlock. After his death, his career suffered a dramatic decline. 6. In the Olympic games, Greeks ran races, jumped, hurled biscuits, and threw the java. 7. Julius Caesar extinguished himself on the battlefields of Gaul. The Ides of March murdered him because they thought he was going to be made king. Dying, he gasped out: "Tee hee, Brutus." 8. Joan of Arc was burnt to a steak and was canonized by Bernard Shaw. 9. Queen Elizabeth was the "Virgin Queen." As a queen she was a success. When she exposed herself before her troops they all shouted "Hurrah". 10. It was an age of great inventions and discoveries. Gutenberg invented removable type and the Bible. Another important invention was the circulation of blood. Sir Walter Raleigh is a historical figure because he invented cigarettes and started smoking. 11. Sir Francis Drake circumsized the world with a 100- foot clipper. 12. The greatest writer of the Renaissance was William Shakespeare. He was born in the year 1564, supposedly on his birthday. He never made much money and is famous only because of his plays. He wrote tragedies, comedies, and hysterectomies, all in Islamic pentameter. Romeo and Juliet are an example of a heroic couple. Romeo's last wish was to be laid by Juliet. 13. Writing at the same time as Shakespeare was Miguel Cervantes. He wrote Donkey Hote. The next great author was John Milton. Milton wrote Paradise Lost. Then his wife died and he wrote Paradise Regained. _____________________________________________ If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can!
