Today's Bonehead Award: 19-year-old Belleville man was sentenced to seven years + for armed carjacking. __________________________________________ Two elderly, excited Southern women were sitting together in the front pew of church listening to a fiery preacher. When this preacher condemned the sin of stealing, these two ladies cried out at the tops of their lungs, "AMEN, BROTHER!" When the preacher condemned the sin of lust, they yelled again, "PREACH IT, REVEREND!" And when the preacher condemned the sin of lying, they jumped to their feet and screamed, "RIGHT ON, BROTHER! TELL IT LIKE IT IS...AMEN!" But when the preacher condemned the sin of gossip, the two got very quiet, and one turned to the other and said, "He's quit preaching and now he's meddlin'." __________________________________________ Thanks to Barb for sendinbg me this picture: Doorway To Heaven ____________________________________________________ If you like the Humor Letter, please vote!

A 19-year-old Belleville man was sentenced to seven years Wednesday for armed carjacking. According to court documents, the crime occurred at approximately 4:30 p.m. on May 31, 2018, at the BP station in the 1400 block of Chouteau Avenue. The victim was sitting in his 2003 Trailblazer when two men approached, pointed a revolver at him, and ordered him out of the vehicle. The suspects took the victims cellphone and drove off in the Trailblazer. Later that evening, East St. Louis police observed the stolen Trailblazer and attempted to stop it. The two men in the vehicle led police on a high-speed pursuit from East St. Louis and into St. Louis. They also rammed a police car during the pursuit, which ended after the Trailblazer crashed near Jennings Station Road in north St. Louis County. Both men attempted then flee on foot but were eventually apprehended by police. They were identified as Timothy Blassingame and Andre King. Blassingame was 17 years old at the time he committed these crimes. He pleaded guilty in July 2018 to one count of carjacking and another count of brandishing a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence. Blassingames sentence was ordered to be served consecutively to any sentence imposed in the Southern District of Illinois. Those proceedings, which charged Blassingame and King with interstate transportation of a stolen vehicle and armed robbery, remain ongoing.

Are you having troubles with your wife?" The man said, "We had a fight, and she told me that she wasn't going to speak to me for a month." The bartender said, "That should make you happy." The man said, "No, the month is up today!" | If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! | |
___________________________________________________ When I went to get my driver's license renewed, our local motor-vehicle bureau was packed. The line inched along for almost an hour until the man ahead of me finally got his license. He inspected his photo for a moment and commented to the clerk, "I was standing in line so long, I ended up looking pretty grouchy in this picture." The woman beside him peered over his shoulder, then reassured him, "It's okay. That's how you're going to look when the cops pull you over anyway." Thriftyfun.com also has a newsletter.

The manager greeted him with a warm handshake and a smile, gave him a broom and said, "Your first job will be to sweep out the store." "But I'm a college graduate!" the young man replied indignantly. "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know that," said the manager. "Here, give me the broom, I'll show you how." ___________________________________________________ Dinnny O'Brian, a fine Catholic lad, was out looking for trouble. He tripped people on the street...threw bricks through windows....smacked folks on the top of the head and whatnot until a passing cop stopped him. "What's going on here!" bellowed the officer. "It's like this officer.", winked Dinny. "I am on my way over to the church to go to confession...and I'm a little short of material." ___________________________________________________ A guy, who had been lost and walking in the desert for about two weeks, finally finds the home of a missionary. Tired and weak, he crawls up to the house and collapses on the doorstep. The missionary finds him and nurses him back to health. Feeling better, the man asks the missionary for directions to the nearest town. On his way out the back door, he sees this horse. He goes back into the house and asks the missionary, "Could I borrow your horse and give it back when I reach the town?" The missionary says, "Sure, but there is a special thing about this horse. You have to say 'Thank God' to make it go and 'Amen' to make it stop." Not paying much attention, the man says, "Sure, okay." He gets on the horse and says, "Thank God," and the horse starts walking. Then he says, "Thank God, thank God," and the horse starts trotting. Feeling really brave, the man says, "Thank God, thank God, thank God, thank God, thank God," and the horse just takes off. Pretty soon he sees this cliff coming up and he's doing everything he can to make the horse stop. "Whoa, stop, hold on!" Finally he remembers, "Amen!!" The horse stops four inches from the cliff. The man leans back in the saddle and says, "Thank God!" __________________________________________________ | No sermon and not suitable for church, just jokes and fun for grownups.
