Good Morning, Do! Today is Thursday, October 3 By the time you read this, I will be on route to Calgary for injections into my eyeballs. That means there won't be a Humor Letter on Friday, Saturday or Sunday. ____________________________________________________ Today, October 3 in 1941 Adolf Hitler stated in a speech that Russia was "broken" and they "would never rise again." However, the US re-armed Russia with the Lend-Lease program. The debt for that was forgiven when the Soviet Union dissolved and Russia claimed they owed only a part of that.

Thanks for your votes! ___________________________________________________ Reported by Linda An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by DeAngelo Parnell, 17, Mobile, Alabama Alabama teen shot at 9 teenagers DeAngelo Parnell, 17, has been charged with nine counts of attempted murder after an August 30 shooting in a Mobile, Ala., stadium where a high school football game was being played Friday night. Police say nine people were shot, mostly teenagers, at the Pebbles Ladd Stadium as a game between LeFlore and Williamson high schools was ending. Parnell is reported as being a student at LeFlore High School. Mobile Police Chief Lawrence Battiste said the injured are all teenagers ranging from 15 to 18. Among them, at least five suffered critical injuries. One person suffered a seizure. Parnell turned himself in to police early Saturday morning. The game was between Mobile's LeFlore and Williamson high schools. It was the end of the fourth quarter when shots rang out. Police said that based on its investigation, which is in the early stages, it appears that a fight was about to occur when (Parnell) just indiscriminately pulled out a gun and began firing. How the suspect got a gun into the stadium is not clear, but police noted that on Friday night, there were at least six different high school games under way. Battiste said that as early as Monday or Tuesday, we'll discuss with stadium security what do we need to do to move forward. Police have video from security cameras and from people who attended the game and are witnesses. Battiste said investigators are sifting through that evidence. Police said that the shooter, now identified as Parnell by police, shot randomly: It did not appear he had an intended target. Parnell pleaded "Not Guilty" in court. DearWebby's Tech Support Pits From: Hank Re: Sharing a connection I still read your emails first. I am a sharp senior with time on my hands. I was reading about wireless connectins etc. Is it a real crime in all states to pirate connections from a neighbor etc or just something we should protect against. How about if your neighbor invites you to do it? thanks for any response. A cheapskate senior friend of mind was thrilled when the neighbor let him use his connection to save him a few bucks so he could go out to eat every now and then. Hank Dear Hank Same as with electricity, it is not a crime IF you get permission. I actually encourage people to pool their resources and get ONE greased lightning fast connection, and then share it with a long reach router and long reach PC cards. As long as none of the 6 pool members abuses it to haul down lots of movies, it works fine and is a lot cheaper than six low speed accounts. You buy the router and the cards once, and save on the monthly connection fees foreverafter. In a tight cluster like an apartment building even a decent regular router will be enough. Just make sure you exclude download hogs. Have FUN! DearWebby Automatically move ALL your settings and programs. The local sheriff was looking for a deputy, so Gomer went in to try out for the job. "Okay," the sheriff drawled, "Gomer, what is 1 and 1?" "11" he replied. The sheriff thought to himself, "That's not what I meant, but he's right." "What two days of the week start with the letter 'T'?" "Today and tomorrow." The sheriff was again surprised that Gomer supplied a correct answer that he had never thought of himself. "Now Gomer, listen carefully: Who killed Abraham Lincoln?" Gomer looked a little surprised, then thought really hard for a minute and finally admitted, "I don't know." "Well, why don't you go home and work on that one for a while?" So, Gomer wandered over to the barbershop where his pals were waiting to hear the results of the interview. Gomer was exultant. "It went great! First day on the job and I'm already working on a murder case!" | If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! | |

___________________________________________________ A small, uncertain, and nervous witness was being cross-examined. The lawyer thundered, "Have you ever been married ?" "Yes, sir, once" said the witness in a low voice. "Whom did you marry?" "Well, a woman." The lawyer said angrily, "Of course you married a woman ! Did you ever hear of anyone marrying a man ?" "_MY_ mother did." ___________________________________________________ Matt went into Doc Steven's office for his annual checkup, and the Doc asked if there was anything unusual he should know about. That left it pretty wide open, so he told the Doc that he found it real strange how his suit must've shrunk just sittin' in his closet, because it didn't fit when he went to get ready for a wedding recently. The Doc said, "Suits don't shrink just sittin' there. You probably just put on a few pounds, Matt." "That's just it, Doc, I know I haven't gained a single pound since the last time I wore it." "Well, then," said Doc, "You must have a case of Furniture Disease." "What in the world is Furniture Disease?" Matt asked. "Furniture Disease, Matt, is when you reach that stage in life when your chest starts slidin' down into your drawers." ------------- I got that too, and i don't even have a suit. ___________________________________________________ Teacher: Max, use "defeat," "defense" and "detail" in a sentence.
