One ambitious but nervous young man knocked on a door and a sour-faced lady came to the door and asked, "What do you want, Sonny?" "D-d-do you have any beer bottles for the Boy Scouts, M-m-m- ma'am?" he asked. "Look here, young man, do I look like the kind of lady who would drink beer?" replied the lady. "S-s-sorry, Ma'am," was his reply. "W-w-what about vinegar bottles?" ______________________________________________________` _____________________________________________________ If you like the Humor Letter, please vote!

Michael Casey Lewis, 37, of Stuart, Florida, was re-arrested after deputies in the parking lot of the jail he just exited say they saw him pulling on the handles of vehicle doors outside the St. Lucie County lockup, according to a sheriff's statement. reasure Coast Newspapers reported the suspect was originally jailed on allegations of grand theft. The St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office said in its statement that he had "bonded out and was released" when deputies spotted him. The office alleges "he had just burglarized several cars right there at the jail." Authorities said at that point Lewis was "re-booked" into jail and now faces more charges. However, the St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office said, he was released based on bond "AGAIN." From: Carol Re:Gray Squares instead of pictures Dear DearWebby I don't know if this is the proper way to ask a question. I don't seem to be able to see pictures included in most emails. I am able to see the ones in your letter each morning, but in all other emails, all I can see is gray squares where the pictures should be. There are no attachments shown in the headers, either. I have looked in Internet Options but can't see anything that would apply. I also restored my computer to a time 2 weeks back when I was still able to see pictures. Do you know of any setting I may have inadvertently messed up? Carol Dear Carol If you still see my pictures, then your settings are OK. Don't mess with them! I too get occasional mail with gray squares from people who don't know how to embed pictures. Usually they use Incredimail or Outlook Depressed. A red X means there is no picture with THAT name. A gray square means that they have that picture, but didn't embed it properly. Don't be shy! Tell them that they messed up and should read the instructions or write to the maker of whatever they use for email. Have FUN! DearWebby Automatically move ALL your settings and programs.

"I was pressing your suit and I burned a big hole in the seat of your trousers." "Oh, just forget it," consoled her husband. "Remember that I've got an extra pair of pants for that suit." "Yes, I know. And it's lucky you have!" said the woman, drying her eyes. "I was able to use a piece from them to patch the hole!" | If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! | |
Thanks to Roland for this story: John was a salesman's delight when it came to any kind of unusual gimmick. His wife Marsha had long ago given up trying to get him to change. One day John came home with another one of his unusual purchases. It was a robot that John claimed was actually a lie detector. It was about 5:30 that afternoon when Tommy, their 11-year-old son, returned home from school. Tommy was over two hours late. "Where have you been? Why are you over two hours late getting home?" asked John. "Several of us went to the library to work on an extra credit project," said Tommy. The robot then walked around the table and slapped Tommy, knocking him completely out of his chair. "Son," said John, "this robot is a lie detector. Now tell us where you really were after school." "We went to Bobby's house and watched a movie," said Tommy. What did you watch?" asked Marsha. "The Ten Commandments," answered Tommy. The robot went around to Tommy and slapped him again, knocking him off his chair once more. With his lip quivering, Tommy got up from the floor, sat down, and said, "I am sorry I lied. We really watched an R-rated movie." "I am ashamed of you, son," said John. "When I was your age, I never lied to my parents." The robot then walked around to John and delivered a whack that nearly knocked him out of his chair. Marsha doubled over in laughter, almost in tears, and said, "Boy, did you ever ask for that one! You can't be too mad with Tommy. After all, he is your son!" With that the robot immediately walked around to Marsha and knocked her out of her chair. ___________________________________________________ Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com Thriftyfun.com Stay Cool This Summer While Saving Energy If you use air-conditioning, set your thermostat as high as comfortably possible in the summer. The less difference between the indoor and outdoor temperatures, the lower your overall cooling bill will be. Don't set your thermostat at a colder setting at first, it will not cool your home any faster. Thriftyfun.com ____________________________________________________ | | Best of the week.

___________________________________________________ Morris the matchmaker approached a single woman and told her he had a husband for her. "I'm ashamed to bring this up," he said, "but the man wants to be sure you are compatible in bed. He wants, he says, a sample." The woman was shocked. "Such a thing you ask a virtuous woman? Such a crude person would suggest such an immoral thing? He must be a barnyard animal, not a gentleman. " The matchmaker, trying to earn a fee, Morris said, "He's a business man. He buys goods in the market and he sells goods. By him, it's not a big deal... just a sample." She thought a minute. "He's a business man? So tell him I don't give free samples. If he wants, I can give him 50 or 60 references." ___________________________________________________ A young boy of four was going into hospital to have his tonsils removed. He told his playmate I'll be gone for awhile I have to have surgery. On the day he was admitted his mother asked if the doctor would please circumcise the boy, since he's already going to be under anaesthesia. The boy woke up and was very sore "down there" there for several days. About a week later he got to see his playmate again. The playmate informed him that he, too, was also going to have to have his tonsils out. He asked the boy to tell him about the surgery. The little boy replied, "All I can tell you is your tonsils ain't where you think they are." ___________________________________________________ | Ophelia Dingbatter's NewsNo sermon and not suitable for church, just jokes and fun for grownups.
