Thanks for your votes! ___________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by Melinda Duncan, 35, Muncie, Indiana Indiana nurse charged with prescription fraud A nurse in Muncie is facing a slew of charges after police say she got dozens of bottles of painkillers by using fake prescriptions for a full year. Police arrested Melinda Duncan, 35, late last week on felony prescription fraud charges in Muncie. She's still being held without bond at the Delaware County Jail because investigators say she committed the same crime in Madison County. Detectives say she started the fraud at a place she should have been trusted - at her job as a nurse at Urology Associates. They say she has since been fired. Investigators say Duncan would give blank prescription forms to the nurse practitioner to sign, claiming they were for lab orders. They weren't. Investigators say Duncan filled out those bogus prescriptions for painkillers in her name, in her husband's name, and in her daughters' names and took them to various pharmacies and got the drugs. Prosecutors say she had at least 28 fake prescriptions filled in Muncie over a year, plus more than 40 prescriptions filled in Anderson and Pendleton over that same time. Duncan told police she was giving the pills to a Muncie drug dealer as a payoff so he wouldn't hurt her. But they say she also admitted to self-medicating, taking pills herself, saying she "would fail a drug test." Police say a pharmacist in Muncie, suspicious about Duncan's repeated prescriptions, was key to this case. She called Urology Associates, questioning the multiple prescriptions. That's when they realized what was going on and called police. From: Eddie Re:Cleaning out miscellaneous malware Dear DearWebby Time to pick your brain now......

In July, the Indians asked their Chief if the coming winter was going to be cold or not. Not really knowing the answer, the chief replied that the winter will be cold and that the members of the village should collect wood to be prepared.Being a good leader, he then went to a phone booth, called the National Weather Service and asked, "Is this winter to be cold?" The man on the phone responded, "This winter is indeed going to be very cold." So the Chief went back to encourage his people to collect even more wood to be prepared. A week later he called the National Weather Service again, and asked again, "Is it going to be a very cold winter?" "Yes," the man replied, "it's going to be a very cold winter." The Chief went back to his people and ordered them to go out and bring back every scrap of wood they could find. Two weeks later he called the National Weather Service again. "Are you absolutely sure that this winter is going to be very cold?" "Absolutely" the man replies, "the Indians are collecting wood like crazy!" | If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! | |
One day a man called the church office and said, "Can I speak to the head hog at the trough?" The secretary thought she heard what he said, but to be sure, she asked, "I'm sorry, who?" The man said, "Can I speak to the head hog at the trough?" She said, "Well, if you mean the pastor, then you may refer to him as 'Pastor,' or 'Brother,' but you may certainly not refer to him as the 'head hog at the trough'!" The man on the phone said, "Well, I was planning to donate ten thousand dollars to the church's building fund . . ." The secretary quickly responded, "Hang on, I think the old pig just waddled in!" ___________________________________________________ Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com Thriftyfun.com The Sun and Antique Furniture Sunlight makes dark wood lighter and light wood darker.
