___________________________________________________ History: on this day, December 22, in 1941, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill arrived in Washington for a wartime conference with U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt. ____________________________________________________ Bonehead Award: Miami cops arrest jailed suspect accused of fatally shooting sleeping homeless man in the head _____________________________________________________ Q Rational arguments don't usually work on religious people. Otherwise, there wouldn't be religious people. --- Doris Egan The world is round; it has no point. --- Adrienne E. Gusoff ____________________________________________________ A doctor examined a woman, took the husband aside, and said: "I don't like the looks of your wife at all." "Me either doc." said the husband. "But she's a great cook and really good with the kids." __________________________________________________ A husband and wife were at a party chatting with some friends when the subject of marriage counseling came up. "Oh, we'll never need that. My husband and I have a great relationship," the wife explained. "He was a communications major in college and I majored in theater arts. He communicates real well and I act like I'm listening." __________________________________________________ An International Bonehead Award has been earned by Dervens Chery, Miami, Florida, USA Miami cops arrest jailed suspect accused of fatally shooting sleeping homeless man in the head Dervens Chery was in jail on unrelated charges when detectives looked through his belongings and found clothing they say matched what a man could be seen wearing on surveillance video when he shot and killed a homeless man in his sleep at a Miami park in late October. Miami police investigators also say they have the 20-year-old on video with what appears to be a gun in his hand approaching Charles Herman Cole, 68, and shooting him before leaving the scene. On Saturday, police arrested Chery, charging the North Miami man with second-degree murder. Incredible work by our @MiamiPD Homicide Unit detectives - their diligent work and relentless pursuit of the truth resulted in the arrest of this ruthless murderer - your work makes @CityofMiami safer for all! Police Chief Manny Morales tweeted Monday. SO, WHY WAS CHERY ALREADY IN JAIL? Authorities didnt specify why Chery had already been in jail when Miami police took him into custody, but county jail records show he was behind bars on pending charges of third- degree grand theft of a vehicle, burglary of an occupied structure and petit theft. The arresting agency wasnt immediately known, but it wasnt Miami police, spokeswoman Officer Kiara Delva told the Miami Herald. ___________________________________________________ HE Is Mine! ___________________________________________________ While carpenters were working outside the old house a woman had just bought, she busied myself with indoor cleaning. She had just finished washing the floor when one of the workmen asked to use the bathroom. With dismay she looked from his muddy boots to her newly scrubbed floors. "Just a minute," She said, thinking of a quick solution. "I'll put down some newspapers." "That's all right, lady," he responded. "I'm already house trained." ___________________________________________________ If you can spare a coin, PLEASE hit PayPal with it! ___________________________________________________ Nico Trif ______________________________________ Thanks to Rheta for this one: Hi Webby: Heres one for you ok? A puzzled expression ran riot over Joanne's face. "An ID ten T error? What's that ... in case I need to fix it again??" He gave her a grin... ;-) ... "Haven't you ever heard of an ID ten T error before?" "No," replied Joanne. "Write it down," he said, "and I think you'll figure it out." (She wrote...) I D 1 0 T While she did that, he ran away. _______________________________________________ An old Jewish woman has been invited to help screen a movie for the rating it willl carry. The movie is a remake of a Roman Gladiator-type movie. In the middle of the movie is a scene where the Romans are feeding people to the lions. The little old lady hits the buzzer she's been given, which stops the movie. The attendant comes down to her chair and says, "Yes, ma'am?" "This movie should be rated 'R'," she says, "because those Jews are being fed to the lions!" The attendant says, "Ma'am, those are Christians, not Jews." "Oh..... Ok. Well, start the movie up again." A few minutes later she again presses the buzzer. The attendant comes down to her chair. "Yes ma'am?" She points to the screen. "Those lions over there... they're not eating!" __________________________________________________ If you can spare a coin, PLEASE hit PayPal with it! ___________________________________________________ A painter, whitewashing the inner walls of a country outhouse, had the misfortune to fall through the opening and land in the muck at the bottom. He shouted, "Fire! Fire! Fire!" at the top of his lungs. The local fire department responded with alacrity, sirens blaring as they approached the privy. "Where's the fire?" called the chief. "No fire," replied the painter as they pulled him out of the hole. "But if I had yelled about what is down here, would you have rescued me?" _______________________________________________________ _ DearWebby's Tech Support Pits From: Amanda Re: Weather site Dear Webby,20-Jan17L.jpg Do you know a reasonably good, free, weather site? All the ones I tried are either no good, or not free. Amanda Dear Amanda I use the Weather Network You can set various locations as your favorite ones, and see the current weather there, and also 36 hour or 7 day forecasts.

Have FUN DearWebby _____________________________________________________ Joe sets Jim up to go on a blind date with a friend of his. But Jim is a little worried about going out with someone he's never seen before. "What do I do if she's ugly and scary?" says Jim, "I'll be stuck with her all night." "Don't worry," Joe says, "just go up to her door and meet her first. If you like what you see, then everything goes as planned. If you don't just shout 'Aaaaaauuuggghhh!' and fake an asthma attack." So that night, Jim knocks at the girl's door and when she comes out he is awe-struck at how beautiful and sexy she is. He's about to speak when the girl suddenly shouts: ..."Aaaaaauuuggghhh!" ____________________________________________________ Today, December 22 in 1715, James Stuart, the "Old Pretender", landed at Petershead after his exile in France. 1775, A Continental naval fleet was organized in the rebellious American colonies under the command of Ezek Hopkins. 1807, The U.S. Congress passed the Embargo Act, designed to force peace between Britain and France by cutting off all trade with Europe. 1864, During the American Civil War, Union Gen.
