She answers: "of course I will, I will probably miss you too." ____________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by Brian Stanton, 37, Penitentiary in Atlanta, Georgia, USA Inmate ran drug trafficking ring out of Atlanta prison An inmate at Atlanta's federal penitentiary is accused of being a mastermind of a drug trafficking organization with ties to Mexican drug cartels. Detectives say 37-year-old Brian Stanton, also known as "Lil B," ran the operation from his prison cell at the United States Federal Penitentiary in Atlanta. According to officials, the investigation began in January when authorities intercepted a package shipped from Canada containing around 2,500 Xanax pills. Undercover officers tracked the package to 37-year-old Amber Cayson of Winter Haven, Florida, where they discovered pounds of THC edibles and marijuana, and a pound of methamphetamine. Further investigation brought the deputies to Stanton. Officials say they were able to arrange multiple deliveries containing dozens of pounds of methamphetamine delivered in suitcases from Georgia to Florida. The accused trafficker of the drugs, 43-year-old Jennifer Meers of Stone Mountain, allegedly delivered a suitcase with 26 pounds of methamphetamine to detectives at a hotel in Lakeland, Florida. During an interview, Meers told detectives that Stanton paid her $500 for every kilo of methamphetamine she delivered. After Meers was arrested, Georgia law enforcement searched at least eight locations around the state resulting in the arrest of three people and the seizure of 1,416 pounds of crystalized and liquid methamphetamine. In one of those searches in College Park, Homeland Security agents also discovered an illegal rooster fighting ring. According to investigators, the drug trafficking operation was connected with the Juarez Mexican Cartel, described as "a brutally violent cartel known for its targeted executions and violence." "Some people still call this low-level, non-violent drugs. These drug dealers have blood on their hands. They make money off the misery of others," Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said. "They use violence as a means to enforce their trafficking business. We seized 20 firearms during this investigation, including rifles, shotguns, handguns, and three stolen guns." In total, deputies seized illegal drugs with a street value of over $53 million as well as multiple firearms and vehicles. Stanton, who officials say has a history of being arrested 26 times on charges including trafficking methamphetamine, is now facing additional charges of conspiracy to traffic in methamphetamine, trafficking in methamphetamine, and unlawful use of a two-way communication device. Four other Georgians have been arrested in the investigation. DearWebby's Tech Support Pits FROM: Gypsy RE: Postcards Dear Webby What happened to all the tens of thousands of postcard sites, that you used to host? Gypsy Dear Gypsy The Social Networking sites killed them. It is apparently a lot easier to gossip and have the gossip spread all over, than it is to send a postcard to a speific person. What also hurt was the "Dot Com Bust" in the early 2000s, when the ad companies switched from the "Exposure" model to the "purchased" model. It used to be that people got a few pennies per thousnd exposures of an ad. In the erly 2000s that changed over to only pay if the vistor actually bought something. Famous and very busy sites like AngelWinks, that used to make a respectable income, suddenly were left out in the cold and stopped. There are still a very few postcard sites out there, because their creators just love creating, but I don't see any new ones filling the gap. Have FUN! DearWebby A man took a young woman to an X-rated movie, purchased some refreshments and showed his date to her seat. Soon after the onscreen action started, she put her hand on the man's lap. Looking over at him, she remarked: "I see this is getting you excited. But how come it's so cold?" "Because you are petting my popsicle!" the man replied.... | If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! | If you like my work,

The doctor got rather upset that his word was doubted and yelled: "You just wait until the autopsy, then you will see that I was right." ____________________________________________ On vacation one year Joe went to a resort in Wyoming. As part of the usual activities, a neighboring ranch invited guests from the resort to participate in a cattle drive. After watching 20 make-believe cowpokes whooping and hollering, Joe rode up to the ranch-owner and asked her how many cowboys it normally takes to drive a herd of that size. "One," she replied, "and yappy dog. It's the noise that'll get the cattle to move." ____________________________________________ A nervous young guy was walking up and down the waiting room at the Maternity hospital,and he looked at a cool, and calm older man, who was reading a magazine. The younger man said: "I guess you have been here a few times." "Yes, five times."said the older man. The young man said, "How soon after the baby is born, can you have sex with the Mother? The older guy said,"That depends on whether she's in a public ward or a private ward. ___________________________________________________ | Ophelia Dingbatter's NewsNo sermon and not suitable for church, just jokes and fun for grownups.
