 Today's Bonehead Award: Woman arrested after pouring alcohol into mouth of Taco Bell worker at drive-thru  _______________________________________________ If you like the Humor Letter, please vote!  _______________________________________________ A short saying oft contains much wisdom. --- Sophocles (496 BC - 406 BC) _____________________________________________________ An old Wild West fort is about to be attacked. The wily old General sends for his trusty Indian Scout. "Scout, you must use all your thirty years of skills for me and try to estimate the sort of army we are up against here." The trusty Indian Scout lays down and puts his ear to the ground. "Large war party," he says, "maybe three hundred braves, four chiefs, two on black stallions, two on white stallions. Many, many guns! Medicine man also with them." "Good grief!" exclaims the General, "you can tell all of that just by listening to the ground?" "NO," replied the Indian. "I can see under the gate." ______________________________________________________`   _____________________________________________________

Elianna Aguilar-Aguilar, 23, apparently didn't notice the Washington County Sheriff's sergeant behind her in line when she reached through the drive-thru window and gave the worker a swig of alcohol on Saturday.

Is that just an honest mistake, or a problem? Eleanore  Dear Eleanore That is not a mistake at all, but sucker-bait on purpose. Just trash it.

Trash them. Have FUN! DearWebby

 ___________________________________________________ Following some duty overseas, the officers at the Fort were planning a welcome home party and dance for the unit. Being an all male combat force, they decided to request coeds from some of the surrounding colleges to attend. The Captain called Vassar and was assured by the Dean that arrangements could be made to send over a dozen of their most trustworthy students. The Captain hesitated, then said, "Would it also be possible to send a dozen or so of the regular kind ?" ___________________________________________________ A Navy Chief and an Admiral were sitting in the barbershop. They were both just getting finished with their shaves-the barbers were reaching for some after-shave to slap on their faces. The admiral shouted, "Hey, don't put that shit on me! My wife will think I've been in a whorehouse!" The chief turned to his barber and said, "Go ahead and put it on. MY wife doesn't know what the inside of a whorehouse smells like. ___________________________________________________ A big executive boarded a New York to Chicago train. He explained to the conductor, "I'm a heavy sleeper, but I want you to be sure and wake me up at 3:00 am for the stop in Buffalo. Don't care what I say, you just make sure I get off in Buffalo." The next morning the executive woke up in Chicago. He was furious. He found the porter and really gave him an earful before hustling off to purchase a return ticket. After he left, a co-worker said to the porter, "How can you stand there and let that passenger abuse you like that?" "That's nothing," said the porter. "You should have heard the guy kicked out in Buffalo!" __________________________________________________

"Ninteen fifty six," 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 twenty-fourteen now." ___________________________________________________
