But the initials really have been changed to stand for "What would Jesus drive?". One theory is that Jesus would tool around in an old Plymouth because the Bible says, "God drove Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden in a Fury". But in Psalm 83, the Almighty clearly owns a Pontiac and a Geo. The passage urges the Jesus to "pursue your enemies with your Tempest and terrify them with your Storm". God himself obviously favors Dodge pickup trucks, because Moses' followers are warned not to go up a mountain "until the Ram's horn sounds a long blast". Some scholars insist that Jesus drove a Honda but didn't like to talk about it. As proof, they cite a verse in St. John's gospel where Christ tells the crowd, "For I did not speak of my own Accord..." Meanwhile, Moses rode an old British motorcycle, as evidenced by a Bible passage declaring that "the roar of Moses' Triumph is heard in the hills". Joshua also rode a Triumph but seems to have had a bad muffler: "Joshua's Triumph was heard throughout the land". And, following Jesus' lead, the Apostles car pooled in a Honda... "The Apostles were in one Accord".

 Shakey went to a psychiatrist. "Doc," he said, "I've got trouble. Every time I get into bed, I think there's somebody under it. I get under the bed, I think there's somebody on top of it. Top, under, top, under ... you gotta help me, I'm going crazy!" "Just put yourself in my hands for two years," said the shrink. "Come to me three times a week, and I'll cure your fears." "How much do you charge?" "A hundred dollars per visit." "I'll sleep on it," said Shakey. Six months later the doctor met Shakey on the street. "Why didn't you ever come to see me again?" asked the psychiatrist. "For a hundred buck's a visit? A bartender cured me for ten dollars." "Is that so! How?" "He told me to cut the legs off the bed! Nobody under there now!" ______________________________________________________ Two guys were out walking their dogs, when one dog wanders off to pee against the wall. Like dogs do, it raised it's leg and started to do his thing. The second dog then goes up and starts to go exactly where the other dog did. But instead of raising his leg, he stood up on his hind legs, put both paws on the wall and relieved himself. One guy says to the other, "Wow, how did you teach him that?" The second man replies, "I didn't teach him. He's done it ever since a fence, that he was trying to dig under, fell on him when he tried to mark it as HIS !" ______________________________________________________ Thanks to Lillemor for this picture from Sweden:   ______________________________________________________

 ______________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  Maya Madry, 22, St Petersburg, Florida  Uber driver bitten and attacked by knife-wielding passenger in St. Petersburg  While picking up a passenger, an Uber driver was bitten and his car was damaged - all without leaving the pick-up location. Maya Madry was arrested this week by the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office for a June incident involving an Uber driver. Apparently they waited for rabies reports. The driver was dispatched to her St. Petersburg home on June 24 at 10:42 a.m. Madry and the driver ended up in a "verbal dispute," according to an arrest affidavit. The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office says the Uber driver was called to the residence to pick up Madry. When he got there, Madry was not ready to go, so he left. Shortly after she called him and asked him to come back, he did. He told her to not request an Uber unless she is ready. That's when she got angry with him and there was an argument. The driver asked Madry to leave his vehicle, but before she stepped out, she grabbed, scratched, and bit his arm. She exited the vehicle and hit the driver's window with a 10-inch long kitchen knife and stabbed a tire. She flattened that tire and attempted to flatten the other three but was unsuccessful. The victim's injuries were treated. Madry left the scene after the incident. Police arrested her on Sunday, July 10. She was charged with aggravated assault, simple battery and criminal mischief.  ______________________________________________________  Tech Support Pits From: Helen RE: Windows Explorer list Dear Webby, can you tell me how to stop lists in Windows Explorer from coming up with large icons?

DearWebby  _____________________________________________________   ___________________________________________________ A young man was serving for the first time as usher at a large and fashionable church and his self-consciousness amounted to a bad case of stage fright. As a result of his nervousness some mistakes were made. Among others, a wealthy old lady marched down the aisle unaccompanied and seated herself inadvertently one row in front of her usual position. The perspiring young usher tiptoed up to her and whispered hoarsely, "Mardon me, padam, you are occupewing the wrong pie. May I sew you to another sheet?" ______________________________________________________ If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can!     ______________________________________________________  Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com Homemade Aloe Vera Juice  Hey, I just got this from another website. Thought you'd like it! Cut off 8-10cm from a leaf, then slice the cutting lengthwise. Scoop out the gel found in the centre, taking great care not to pick up any of the yellowish layer next to the outer skin which is bitter and has powerful laxative effects. Whisk one to 2 teaspoons of the fresh gel into 1 cup of fresh cold water or vegetable juice and take daily or several times a week for intestinal health.  ______________________________________________________
