As the bartender gives her the drink she says, "I'm on the cruise to celebrate my 80th birthday and it's today." The bartender says "Well, since it's your birthday, I'll buy you a drink. In fact, this one is on me." As Ethel finishes her drink, the woman to her right says, "I would like to buy you a drink, too." Ethel says, "Thank you. Bartender, I want a scotch with two drops of water. "Coming up," says the bartender. As she finishes her drink, the man to her left says, "I would like to buy you one, too." Again Ethel says, "Thank you. Bartender, I would like another scotch with two drops of water." "Comin' right up," the bartender says. As he gives her the drink he says, "Ma'am, I'm dying of curiosity. Why the Scotch with only two drops of water?" Ethel replied, "Sonny, when you're my age, you learn how to hold your liquor. Water, however, is a whole other issue." ____________________________________________________ A local minister had all of his remaining teeth pulled and new dentures made a few weeks ago. The first Sunday after that, his sermon lasted 10 minutes. The second Sunday, he preached only 20 minutes. But, on the third Sunday he preached for an hour and a half. I asked him about this. He then told me "Well, that first Sunday, my gums were so sore it hurt to talk. The second Sunday, my dentures were still hurting a lot. But the third Sunday, I accidentally grabbed my wife's dentures and I couldn't stop talking!" ___________________________________________________ If you can spare a coin, PLEASE hit PayPal with it! ___________________________________________________ A psychologist is a man who watches everyone else when a beautiful girl enters the room.

Panama City Police say in late January, they responded to the UPS store on 23rd Street. Employees reported three large boxes smelled like marijuana. Police say a K9 also alerted to the presence of marijuana. The departments Street Crimes Unit began investigating the next day. They say during the investigation, they stopped a passenger van witnesses said tried to pick up the large boxes from the day before. Officers say during the stop, they could smell marijuana. Officers say the driver of the van gave them a fake Pennsylvania drivers license. During a probable cause search of the van, they say they found four more boxes in the back seat with marijuana in a similar manner. Yunqing Wang is charged with trafficking in marijuana, possessing a counterfeit drivers license, providing a false ID to a law enforcement officer, and possession of narcotic equipment.(Bay County Sheriff's Office) The driver was identified as Yunqing Wang, 31. They say in total, seven large packages were sent to Wang, with more than 190 pounds of marijuana inside. He is charged with trafficking in marijuana, possessing a counterfeit drivers license, providing a false ID to a law enforcement officer, and possession of narcotic equipment. Investigators said with the number of dispensaries in the area, it creates a unique problem. Obviously the people that go out and obtain Marijuana the legal way, we want to support their right and encourage them to do it the legal way. At the same time, individuals that are out here selling marijuana at the street level, majority of the time those individuals are armed. That leads to violent encounters. Those are the individuals were targeting and trying to take off the street, Panama City Police Corporal Kristian Shaw said. ____________________________________________________ If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! ______________________________________________________ DearWebby's Tech Support Pits From: Me RE: Dihydrogen Monoxide Dear Webby April Fools joke!

She was so striking that the man could not take his eyes away from her. The young woman noticed his overly-attentive stare and walked directly toward him. Before he could offer his apologies for being so rude, the young woman said to him, "I'll do anything, absolutely anything, that you want me to do, no matter how kinky, for $100 on one condition." Flabbergasted, the man asked what the condition was. The young woman replied, "You have to tell me what you want me to do in just three words." The man considered her proposition for a moment, withdrew his wallet from his pocket and slowly counted out five $20 bills, which he pressed into the young woman's hand. He looked deeply into her eyes and slowly, meaningfully said, "Paint my house." ------------- If she is THAT cute, then I would offer her the same deal!

Dad answered, "Mommy is at a Tupperware party." This explanation satisfied for only a moment. Puzzled, Do asked, "What's a Tupperware party, Dad?" Do's father had always given honest answers, so he figured a simple explanation would be the best approach. "Well," he said, "at a Tupperware party, a bunch of ladies sit around, all talk at the same time and sell plastic bowls to each other." Do burst into laughter. "Come on, Dad," said. "I'm not THAT silly. Mom always says that Tupperware is the cheapest at Walmart! What are they really doing?" ___________________________________________________ Today, April 2, in 1513, Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de Leon sighted Florida.
