Thanks for your votes! ___________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by Kate Lamothe, 23, Pinellas Park, Florida Juul Thief tried to make getaway in Lyft car, then Uber van A California woman whose Instagram page is filled with photos chronicling her world travels was arrested this week for the unglamorous crime of stealing a Juul vaping device from a Florida gas station, a heist from which she first sought to flee in a Lyft car and then an Uber van, police report. According to investigators, Kate Lamothe, 23, asked to purchase a Juul device around 11 PM Tuesday at an Exxon in Pinellas Park (where she was staying in a trailer about three miles from the gas station). Lamothe, who arrived at the Exxon in a Lyft car, allegedly took the $42.79 Juul device from a clerk and bolted from the convenience store. When she attempted to flee in her Lyft, the driver declined the opportunity to be Lamothe's wheelman. Undeterred, Lamothe called for an Uber and began walking away from the Exxon. When cops arrived, they found Lamothe inside an Uber van in a parking lot adjacent to the gas station. Lamothe, who reportedly confessed, was charged with retail theft, a misdemeanor, and booked into the county jail. She was released from custody early Wednesday after her mother posted $150 bond. Lamothe's mug shot would not pass muster on her carefully curated Instagram account, which includes photos of her beach, ski, and European vacations, and a private jet trip to Las Vegas. In addition to an assortment of contemplative poses, Lamothe's page-- which was made private today--also advises visitors to be Humble, it looks good on you. On her page she is made to appear to have the body of a skinny 12 year old and a child like comparatively large face. DearWebby's Tech Support Pits From: Betty Re: Recording off the net Dear Webby, I can record most things off the net, but some courses seem to be using some sort of streaming directly to the speakers, and I can't intercept and record it. I know, it's probably some copy protection, but how am I supposed to study the stuff if I can't listen to it again at a more convenient time? Is there a way around that? Betty Dear Betty I know that problem exists, but it usually is not intended by the cours instructor. Most of the time it's just a "feature" of the seminar software that they use, and they have no clue about how to turn that "feature" off. Put your microphone in front of the speaker and in Settings, Control Panel, Sound, Audio, Sound Recording, Volume, Advanced turn on Microphone Boost. Even though the direct streaming is a bypass and not recordable, you can record the microphone input normally with Audacity or any similar program. Have FUN!

I'm sure you've all heard about the military's plans to use huge ground-based lasers to destroy abandoned satellites in orbit. But have you also noticed that since these plans were made public, CNN hasn't aired a single report accusing the military of sexual harassment? | If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! | |
A man traveling down a country road was forced to stop before a giant puddle covering the entire road. Looking to the side of the road, the man noticed a farmer leaning on a fence. "Think it's safe to cross?" the man asked. "I reckon so," replied the farmer. The car was immediately swallowed by the puddle as the man drove in. In fact, it was so deep that he had to roll his window down to swim out of his car back to the surface. As his head broke the surface the man said to the farmer, "I thought you said I could safely drive through this puddle!" "Well, shoot!" said the farmer, scratching his head. "It only come up chest-high on my little ducks!" ___________________________________________________ Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com Thriftyfun.com Replacing Turkey with Chicken in Recipes Many recipes for chicken work just as well with holiday turkey leftovers. I used a chicken curry recipe for dinner and substituted turkey. The flavor is better if the pieces of turkey are stir fried just enough to brown them.

___________________________________________________ A man stormed into Moishe's Bakery and confronted Moishe. "Do you know what happened to me?" he demanded. "I found a fly in the raisin bread I bought from you yesterday." Moishe gave a palms-up shrug and replied, "Nu, so you'll bring me the fly and I'll give you a raisin." ___________________________________________________ A wife went to the police station with her next-door neighbor to report that her husband was missing. The policeman asked for what they should be looking for. She said, "He's 35 years old, 6 foot 4, has dark eyes, dark wavy hair, an athletic build, weighs 185 pounds, is soft-spoken, and is good to the children." The next-door neighbor protested, "Your husband is 5 foot 4, chubby, bald, has a big mouth, and is mean to your children." The wife replied, "Yes, but who wants HIM back?" ___________________________________________________ An old pastor made it a practice to visit the parish school one day a week. He walked into the 4th grade class, where the children were studying the states, and asked them how many states they could name. They could only come up with about 40 names. He jokingly told them that in his day students knew the names of all the states. One lad snickered, "Yes, but in those days there were only 13." __________________________________________________ | Ophelia Dingbatter's NewsNo sermon and not suitable for church, just jokes and fun for grownups.
