Thanks for your votes! ___________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by Kevin Michael, Thomasville, North Carolina Man charged with kidnapping woman for sexual servitude after deputy is hit by SUV A North Carolina man faces new charges of kidnapping and forcible sex offense after deputies responded to a report of a woman being attacked, according to the Davidson County Sheriffs Office. Kevin Michael was initially charged with possession with intent to sell and distribute cocaine, manufacturing in a dwelling or place of business and possession of drug paraphernalia. He is now also charged with first-degree kidnapping and two counts of second-degree forcible sex offense. At about 7:26 a.m. Tuesday deputies responded to 152 Kanoy Road for a disturbance in which a woman was being attacked, the sheriffs office said. Two deputies were on scene when a woman driving a large SUV, which was inside a garage, smashed through the garage door and hit one of the deputies in the parking lot. The deputy was taken to a hospital in serious but stable condition. Another deputy reportedly fired shots when the SUV did not stop. The woman behind the wheel was shot and taken to a hospital. She was alone in the vehicle and is believed to have been the victim trying to flee the scene after calling 911, according to The Dispatch. Michael, who was also at the scene, was arrested. Arrest warrants reveal Michael kidnapped a woman to hold her in sexual servitude against her will. The victim was seriously injured and sexually assaulted. DearWebby's Tech Support Pits From: Amy Re: Printing business cards Dear Webby, With my previous printer I was able to print business cards quite nicely, but with this one, a Laser, they don't come out well at all. What should I do? Amy Dear Amy Lasers depend on the paper to be at a precise distance. Stiff business cards tend to be a slightly different distances, and they don't like wrapping tightly around the hgot fuser roller. Laser printers used to have larger rollers and were able to handle stiffer paper. Modern printers have smaller rollers, especialy the ones, that do double sided printing. Just take your design to Staples. They will print your business cards for under $50 for 250 cards. You do much more damage than that trying to print them with your current printer. The printing there is fast, probably no more than 3 minutes, but expect them to waste half an hour composing an invoice. Fringe benefit is that they separate the cards for you, and neatly put them into a box made for 250 cards. Have FUN! DearWebby Automatically move ALL your settings and programs. Once the club duffer challenged the local golf pro to a match, with a $100 bet on the side. "But," said the duffer, "since you're obviously much better than I, to even it a bit you have to spot me two 'gotchas'." The golf pro didn't know what a 'gotcha' was, but he went along with it. And off they went. Coming back to the 19th hole, the rest of the club members were amazed to see the golf pro paying the duffer $100. "What happened?" asked one of the members. "Well," said the pro, "I was teeing up for the first hole, and as I brought the club down, that jerk stuck his hand between my legs and grabbed my balls... then yelled 'Gotcha!' Have you ever tried to play 18 holes of golf waiting for the second 'gotcha'?" | If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! | |

Your phone's always busy, and I can't get through." Hank finally found the nerve to tell his fiancee that he had to break off their engagement so that he could marry another woman. "Can she cook like I can?" the distraught woman asked. "Not on her best day." Hank replied. "Can she buy you expensive gifts like I do?" she asked. "No, she's broke." "Well then, is it sex?" "Nope,... nobody does it like you, babe." "Then what is it?? What can she do for you that I can't?" "She can sue me for child support!" ___________________________________________________ Three golfers were playing a round with their local pro. After the pro drove right down the middle, the first member stepped up, went through his normal routine and proceeded to duck hook his shot OB. He turned to the pro and asked, "What did I do wrong?" "LOFT!" said the pro. The second guy went through his practice swing, set up and skulled his drive down to the ladies tee. Again , he turned to the pro and asked, "What did I do wrong?" "LOFT!" said the pro. Finally, the third guy takes his turn and hit a screaming boomerang slice into the drink. "What did I do wrong?," he asked. "LOFT!" said the pro. As they proceeded down the fairway, one of the members turned to the pro and said, "Hey, we all hit terrible but different shots off the tee and you said 'LOFT!' for every one. What's loft? "Lack Of Freakin' Talent!" ___________________________________________________ Once, in my younger days, I was traveling across the country when my car broke down. I walked to a nearby farmhouse to ask for shelter for the night and was informed by the old couple that if I wanted a bed I would have to sleep with the baby. Anticipating wet sheets and similar inconveniences, I instead begged them for permission to spend the night in the hayloft. Morning came, and I was just opening my eyes when the barn door opened and a beautiful young woman showed herself. I had never in this life seen anything so beautiful! "Who are you?" I asked. "I'm the baby," she replied. "Who are you?" "Oh, I'm the jackass who spent the night in the barn." __________________________________________________ | Ophelia Dingbatter's NewsNo sermon and not suitable for church, just jokes and fun for grownups.
