Thanks for your votes! ___________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by Mario Pieda, 36, Elgin, Illinois Elgin man faces minimum 42-year prison term after skipping rape trial An Elgin man who was a no-show for his trial this week faces a minimum 42-year prison term after a jury convicted him of sexually assaulting a girl he knew. A Kane County jury Thursday convicted Mario Pieda, 36, of the 0-100 block of South DuBois Avenue, of seven counts of predatory criminal sexual assault of a child under 13 and two counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse, according to prosecutors. During the four-day trial, prosecutors presented evidence that Pieda sexually assaulted the victim multiple times in 2016. She eventually told her parents, and her father filed a police report. Judge Charles Petersen set Pieda's next court appearance for March 26 for motions, sentencing and forfeiture of bail. Pieda, who had been free on $20,000 bail, last appeared in court in September 2019 and was absent last week during the final conference before his trial. "I'm proud of this victim for showing the strength to tell her story at her abuser's trial," State's Attorney Joe McMahon said. "Her courage towers over that of Mr. Pieda, who fled like a coward instead owning up to his selfish crimes." Pieda faces a top punishment of 210 years. He must serve 85% of any sentence and must register as a sex offender for life. An arrest warrant has been issued for Pieda. DearWebby's Tech Support Pits From: Bob Re: Laptop batteries Dear Webby, Is it still important to run laptop batteries totally down, or is that an old myth? Bob Dear Bob That is an old myth. With today's batteries that is no longer required. However, keep in mind that laptop batteries do not last forever. After about 5 years they suddenly die, no matter what you have been doing.

He instructed her to get undressed and lie down on the examining table. She did so.... The doctor put on rubber gloves and began to massage her "private parts." After a couple of minutes he asked, "How does that feel?" "Wonderful," she replied, "but the discharge is from my ear." | If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! | |

___________________________________________________ There was once a great actor, who had a problem. He could no longer remember his lines. Finally after many years he finds a theatre where they are prepared to give him a chance to shine again. The director says, "This is the most important part, and it has only one line, you must walk on to the stage carrying a rose, you must hold the rose with just one finger and your thumb to your nose, sniff the rose deeply and then say the line 'Ah, the sweet aroma of my mistress.'" The actor is thrilled. All day long before the play he's practicing his line over and over again. Finally the time came. The curtain went up, the actor walked onto the stage, and with great passion delivered the line; "Ah, the sweet aroma of my mistress". The theatre erupted, the audience was screaming with laughter and the director was steaming! "You bloody fool!" he cried, "You have ruined me!" The actor was bewildered, "What happened, did I forget my line?" He asked. "No!" the director screamed, "You forgot the bloody rose!" ___________________________________________________ A wife is sitting in the living room watching TV, when all of a sudden she hears her husband in the bedroom, swearing up a storm. He is using every bad word in the book. The wife runs into the bedroom to see what is going on. She finds her husband just sitting on the bed. She asks her husband, "honey, what happened? Did you fall down and get hurt or something?" The husband looks up and replies, "no, I'm fine. I'm just practicing." The wife gets a real confused look on her face, and said, "practicing? Practicing for what?" Then the husband says, "golf season starts tomorrow!" ___________________________________________________ A funeral service was held for a woman who has passed away. At the end of the service, the pallbearers were carrying the casket out when they accidentally bumped into a wall, jarring the casket. Suddenly, they heard a faint moan. When they opened the casket they found that the woman was actually alive. She lived for 10 more years and then finally died. A ceremony was again held and at the end of the service the pallbearers were again carrying out the casket. As they were walking, the husband was heard to cry out, "Watch out for the damn wall!!!". __________________________________________________ | Ophelia Dingbatter's NewsNo sermon and not suitable for church, just jokes and fun for grownups.
