 Congressmen who willfully take actions during wartime that damage the morale and undermine the military are saboteurs and should be arrested, exiled or hanged. --- Abraham Lincoln When men are pure, laws are useless; when men are corrupt, laws are broken. --- Benjamin Disraeli (1804 - 1881) ______________________________________________________ Driving home from church one Sunday, the father turned the radio to a country and western station. "How can you stand that stuff?" complained his 16-year-old son. "It's all about lonesome cowboys, gunfights, bar rooms and broken hearts." Knowing his son preferred more modern music, the dad asked, "Well, what's your music about?" "That's the beauty of it," the son said. "You just don't know!" ________________________________________________ If you like the Humor Letter, please vote!  ______________________________________________________ My friend Don, a minor-league umpire, is used to being heckled by fans. But imagine his surprise when he was rushing to umpire an exhibition game at Coors Field in Denver. After a long search for a place to change clothes, Don finally located a room with a neatly lettered sign: "Dressing Room, Umpires Only." As he was about to go in, however, he inspected the sign more closely. Below the printed legend was the same message... written in Braille. _____________________________________________________   ______________________________________________________ >From GCF We took the family to one of those restaurants where the walls are plastered with movie memorabilia. I went to see the hostess about reserving a table. When I returned, I found my 11-year-old daughter staring at a poster of Superman standing in a phone booth. She looked puzzled. "Doesn't she know who Superman is?" I whispered to my husband. "Worse," he replied, "she doesn't know what a phone both is." ______________________________________________________   Lynx kitten ventured onto Tim's porch in Alaska _____________________________________________________

 ___________________________________________________ Reported by the Bausell Sailor:  An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  Jaqueline Ades, 33. Phoenix, Arizona  Serious Bimbo Malfunction allegedly sent 159K texts after single date, threatened to 'make sushi' of man's kidneys  A woman accused of bombarding a man with 65,000 text messages after a single date is now believed to have sent more than twice that amount. According to court documents obtained by the Arizona Republic, then 31-year-old Jaqueline Ades, of Phoenix, sent the victim more than 159,000 texts many of them threatening over a 10-month period starting in July, 2017. I'd wear ur fascia n the top of ur skull n ur hands n feet, one of the alleged texts read. Another read, I'd make sushi outta ur kidneys n chopsticks outta ur hand bones, according to police. Ades told investigators they met on a site called Luxy, which advertises that it can connect users with verified millionaires. In July 2017, Ades was found parked outside of the victim's Paradise Valley home, police said. Officers found Ades still outside the victim's home when they arrived and told her to leave, officials said. Shortly after, the man started to receive threatening text messages from the suspect. Police received a similar report in December from the same residence, but officers were unable to locate her. On April 8, the victim called a detective a third time, saying he was out of the country, but saw Ades in his home while checking his home surveillance video. When officers arrived at the home, the woman was taking a bath, police said. Body camera video obtained in a public records request by the Arizona Republic allegedly shows her telling an officer, I guess that I made up a whole scenario in my head where I live here, so I came here and pretended that's what was happening. A large butcher knife was discovered on the passenger's seat of her car, court paperwork said. She was taken into custody and charged with trespassing. Police noted in her arrest record that she showed signs of mental illness. After Ades was released from jail, she allegedly started sending more threatening text messages to the victim some of the messages alluded that harm may come to him, according to KNXV. Less than three weeks later, the victim called authorities to report receiving multiple threatening text messages from her, court documents said. The man also explained that they met on a dating website, and after one date Ades began stalking and harassing him. The victim said that she sent about 500 text messages to him a day, court documents said. In one of Ades' messages, she allegedly stated, Don't ever try to leave me I'll kill you I don't wanna be a murderer. She also said that she wanted to wear his body parts and bathe in his blood, court paperwork said. Ades is being held without bond at the Maricopa County Jail after pleading not guilty to charges of stalking and criminal trespassing. Her trial is due to begin in early February.  
 From: Michael e: Reset Toner status  Dear DearWebby, One more thing you might want to tell your readers about laser printers: About a year and a half ago, my Brother printer complained that I needed to replace the black toner. I googled for how to reset the message without replacing the cartridge, and found a page that showed exactly how to do it. I have printed many hundreds of pages since then, without replacing the black toner. I have no idea how much longer this empty toner will last, but I'm not going to replace it until it is actually out. The process to reset the toner empty indicator varies between printers, and is not possible with some, but for any that do allow it, I highly recommend trying it. Aloha, -mkr  Dear Michael Yes, some printers like those from Brother, count the pages and when you have printed enough to theoretically deplete the toner, they whine about it, If you just print orders or receipts, that use very little toner, the container may still be half full. They don't weigh the toner container, just use the counter. It is sort of similar to the orange idiot light in a car telling you to go to service after a certain number of miles. With some printers, like the ones from DELL, you have to take the chip from the toner container and replace it. Companies that sell toner refills, sell those chips for around $10. It is definitely worth googling about toner for your particular printer, before you spend money. Have FUN! DearWebby

 A man is waiting in line for a hit movie. Behind him are two women. The usher comes along and says that he has two seats together. Seeing the problem, the usher says to the man. "Let them go first. You wouldn't want to separate a woman from her mother, would you?" The man says, "No, sir. I did that once, and I've been sorry ever since."

 ___________________________________________________ >From Nan I REALIZED the impact of computers on my young son one evening when there was a dramatic sunset. Pointing to the western sky, David said, "I wish we could click and save that!" ___________________________________________________ We had just finished eating a beautiful dinner that my mother had prepared for our 28-member family. As I glanced up at the chandelier over the table, I was mesmerized by the creative handiwork a spider had woven around the prisms and light bulbs. "Don't look up there!" my mother screamed. "It's the one thing I was too tired to clean!" "Don't look where?" my brother asked. "There!" my mother pointed. "It's my own personal web site!" ___________________________________________________

 >From Chuck WHILE I WAS SERVING as a chief master sergeant at Barksdale Air Force Base in Bossier City, La., my son and namesake was also serving there. His two-month-old son, whose name was the same as ours, was receiving medical treatments at the base hospital. I went on sick call one morning, and as the doctor reviewed my file, he looked at me in disbelief. "Are you Curtis E. Chaffin?" he asked. When I answered yes, he told me, "It says here that you turn blue when you cry." ___________________________________________________
