After explaining the commandment to "honour thy father and thy mother," she asked "Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?" Without missing a beat, one little boy answered, "Thou shall not kill." ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ How childproof is your house ? Dutch armored personell carriers are not childproof and apparently can be destroyed instantly if a kid uses a fire extinguisher against them. Makes me wonder what good their fire extinguisher is, if it does that much more damage to a $115,000 engine than an engine fire would do. Smart people put out engine fires safely with a bucket of sand or the sand from the bag that you have in the trunk for extra winter traction. ____________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by Justin Tyran Roberts, 39, Columbus, Georgia USA rac Multi-state shooting spree was ended, suspect was targeting White men A Black man accused of wounding five people during three separate shootings in Georgia and Alabama told police he was targeting White men and the attacks were racially motivated, according to a recent report. Justin Tyran Roberts, the accused shooter, told police that White men had picked on him and wronged him for all his life, Columbus, Ga. Police Det. Brandon Lockhart testified during a preliminary hearing on Monday, according to the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer. "Basically, he explained throughout his life, specifically white males had taken from him, and also what he described as military-looking white males had taken from him," Lockhart reportedly testified. Lockhart later testified that Roberts said, "I had to have him," about one of the shooting victims. Police have accused Roberts of shooting five people in three separate assaults in Columbus, Georgia and Phenix City, Alabama. All victims are expected to recover, Columbus Police Chief Freddie Blackmon said Sunday. The chief added that police found no evidence that Roberts knew any of his victims. Police said one person was hurt in a shooting Friday night at a hotel in Phenix City. Less than two hours later Friday, three people were shot in Columbus. A fifth person was shot Saturday afternoon. Roberts was ultimately charged with aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, theft by receiving stolen property, referring to the gun, police said. Phenix City and Columbus sit on opposite sides on the Alabama- Georgia border. The 39-year-old appeared in court Monday in Columbus for a preliminary hearing in one of those incidents where a man was shot in the back as he was getting into his vehicle. Roberts also claimed that such men were "shooting at him in a wooded area with a slingshot," and the wounds had infected his skin, Lockhart testified. But he said police saw no injuries to substantiate that. Public defender Robin King requested a mental health evaluation for Roberts, saying the man was suffering from delusions. "The officers testimony has demonstrated that Mr. Roberts is having delusions and a disconnect from reality," King told the judge. Judge Julius Hunter found probable cause to send Roberts case to Muscogee Superior Court. dearwebby's tech support pits from: Judy RE: Opening strange emails Dear Webby, Ever since I've been getting your Humor letters, I never open an e-mail unless I know for certain who it is from. My hope is that by not opening it at all, I don't run into a problem and so far it seems to work. It also seems to me this has been a piece of advice you've mentioned fairly often in your humor letters. Thank you for consistantly trying to keep us safe. Between that and the fun stuff you send us, we are ready to go for the day ahead. Thanks again, Judy Dear Judy Good for YOU! Have FUN! DearWebby The Sunday school lesson for the day was about Noah's Ark, so the teacher decided to get her small pupils involved by playing a game in which they identified animals. "I'm going to describe something to you. Let's see if you can guess what it is. First: I'm furry with a bushy tail and I like to climb trees." The children looked at her blankly. "I also like to eat nuts, especially acorns." No response. This wasn't going well at all! Finally a kid volunteered: "Well, I know the answer has to be Jesus -- but it sure sounds like a squirrel to me!" | If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! | If you like my work,

_____________________________________________ During a phone conversation, my nephew mentioned that he was taking a psychology course at university. "Oh, great," I said, "Now you'll be analyzing everyone in the family." "No, no," he replied. "I don't take abnormal psychology until next semester." ___________________________________________ Four old timers were playing their weekly game of golf, and one remarked how for Christmas this year he'd love to wake up on Fathers Day morning, roll out of bed and without an argument go directly to the golf course, meet his buddies and play a round. His buddies all chimed in and said, "Let's do it! We'll make it a priority, figure out a way and meet here early on Fathers Day morning." Months later, that special morning arrives, and there they are on the links. The first guy says, "Boy, this game cost me a fortune! I bought my wife such a diamond ring that she can't take her eyes off it." Number 2 guy says, "I spent a ton too. My wife is at home planning the cruise I gave her. She was up to her eyeballs in brochures." Number 3 guy says " Well, my wife is at home admiring her new car, reading the manual." They all turn to the last guy in the group and he is staring at them like they have lost their minds. "I can't believe you all went to such expense for this golf game. I patted my wife on the butt and said, 'Well babe, is it sex or golf?' and she said, 'Take your sweater, looks like it might be windy out there'." ____________________________________________ Mike: Why don't you play golf with Bob any more? Joe: Would you play with someone who curses after each shot, cheats in the bunkers and enters false scores on his card? Mike: No! Joe: Neither will Bob. ___________________________________________________ | Ophelia Dingbatter's NewsNo sermon and not suitable for church, just jokes and fun for grownups.
