Good Morning, Do! Today is Sunday, June 2 Got an obvious scam attempt today. A George Scott in an expensive politician's suit, claiming to be an Agent at Federal Government Grant attempted to become a friend. HA! Govmint grants are disbursed by Obama appointees, and they know that I don't like them. Since I don't fall for the silly climate hoax, they don't like me either. So George Scott obviously is a phony scammer. I did not bother deleting his friend request. I reported him to FB. Less than a minute later, THEY dumped him. _____________________________________________________ Today, June 2 in 1998 Voters in California passed Proposition 227.

 Today's Bonehead Award: Arrested for robbing Walmart three times in a row  ________________________________________________ If you like the Humor Letter, please vote!  ______________________________________________________ Today's public figures can no longer write their own speeches or books, and there is some evidence that they can't read them either. --- Gore Vidal (1925 - ) _____________________________________________________   ______________________________________________________ At the next table at the restaurant today I overheard a young woman who was talking with an older woman, apparently her mother. "I haven't slept in three days," she complained. "The baby is teething and he's up all night crying." "Why don't you just wet a finger with some brandy or a sweet liqeur and rub it on his gums. That will numb them up and put him right to sleep." answered mom. "I can't give the baby alcohol! Lord knows what that will do to him." "Well, it never hurt you any." The look on her face was priceless. ______________________________________________________`   My Saskatoon berries just love the high CO2 forest fire smoke.

 ___________________________________________________    An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  Matthew Brown, 34, Atlanta, Michigan  Arrested for robbing Walmart three times in a row  
 A northern Michigan man is accused of robbing a Walmart store in Alpena three times in one night, stealing $6,000 worth of merchandise, Michigan State Police said Tuesday. Matthew Brown, 34, of Atlanta was charged Wednesday, May 22, in an Alpena district court with first-degree retail fraud. Atlanta is about 220 miles north of Detroit and located in Montmorency County. A judge set his bond at $10,000 and scheduled his next court appearance for Monday. If convicted of the charge, a felony, he faces up to five years in prison. Police said Brown first entered the Walmart at about 1:30 a.m. on March 22 and stole some electronic items. He dragged the items to his car, parked in the store's lot, loaded them in and drove away. But police say that wasn't the end of it. Brown allegedly returned to the store 20 minutes later, took more electronic items, put them in a shopping cart to make things easier and left without paying. Again, he loaded the items in his car and drove away, according to authorities. And Brown wasn't finished. "Brazenly, the subject returned to the store a third time" and took more merchandise without paying for it, officials said in a statement. Officials said items Brown allegedly took include three 50-65- inch TVs, a drone, an AT&T cellphone, a computer building kit, a flashlight, a Schwinn bicycle, a HP Pavilion Desktop computer, a PS4 racing wheel and a Western Digital 6TB hard drive. Troopers reviewed the store's security system footage and interviewed witnesses. They identified Brown as the suspect. Police visited Brown at his home in Montmorency County and found much of the stolen property. They also found items from the store in Brown's Saturn Vue. Troopers later arrested Brown at the Montmorency County Jail, where he was detained for unrelated charges. His next court appearance in scheduled in June, Michigan State Police said.

 One of my first assignments on a summer job at an auto-body shop was a car needing a new fender and some door repairs. I spent hours doing a perfect job, but when the owner came to pick it up, he wasn't pleased. "What's wrong?" I asked. Pointing to the side of the car, he complained about the paint not matching, uneven gaps between panels, and a host of other nitpicking little problems. He demanded an explanation and that it be re-done. "The repairs were to the other side," I noted. "You smashed in the passenger side, not the driver side. This side I only washed."

 Three preachers decided to have a joint revival meeting. After the revival had concluded, the three pastors were discussing the results with one another. The Methodist minister said, "The revival worked out great for us! We gained four new families." The Baptist preacher said, "We did better than that! We gained six new families." The Presbyterian pastor said, "Well, we did even better than that! We got rid of our ten biggest trouble makers!" ___________________________________________________  Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com Thriftyfun.com Buying Clothing In The Off Season I buy my clothes the opposite of the season.

 ___________________________________________________ The teacher asked little Johnny if he knows his numbers. He said, "Yes, I do. My father taught me." "Good. What comes after three?" asked the teacher. "Four," says little Johnny. "What comes after six?" "Seven." "Very good," says the teacher. "Your dad did a good job. What comes after ten?" Little Johnny smiles and says, "A jack." ___________________________________________________ A perfectionist teacher demands the very best of all of her pupils. So it is only to be expected that she would get furious when one little fellow hands in a sloppily done homework paper. "This is the worst essay it has been my misfortune to read," the woman says through clenched teeth. "It has so many mistakes. I can't understand how one person could have made all these mistakes." "It wasn't just one person," the boy replies defensively. "My mom helped me." ___________________________________________________
