Put them in a coffee can and bury them to a depth of one foot. Leave them there all summer. When you dig them up and open the can, the odor is so bad that it will actually cause birds to fall from the sky. Cook birds at 400 degrees for half an hour. Sincerely, Ethel. ================= ____________________________________________________ Reported by Rock An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by Albert Gonzales, 36, Merced, California, USA California shoplifter gets jailed for assaulting Dollar store manager A man was arrested after authorities say he assaulted a store manager during a failed shoplifting attempt on Tuesday in Merced. Around 4:00 p.m., police say a store manager at the Dollar Tree on Olive Avenue caught Albert Gonzales, 36, trying to steal items and attempted to detain him. In an effort to get away with the stolen goods, officials say Gonzales assaulted the manager and ran out of the store. The manager didnt receive any significant injuries during the assault. A short time later, officers found Gonzales nearby on Devonwood Drive and placed him under arrest. Gonzales was arrested for strong-arm robbery and booked into the Merced County Jail. He will get his Christmas dinner in jail, with everybody laughing at him for trying a strong-arm robbery at the dollar store. California is now finally allowed to crack down on store robberies. Merced belongs to Fresno, where 1 in 25 get to be a victim of violent crime. Some people are getting tired of that. ____________________________________________________ If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! ______________________________________________________ From: Janice Re: Cheaper Glasses Dear Webby Just an added note on cheap glasses.

When he got home, he couldn't tell his wife that he had spoken on sex, so he said he had discussed horseback riding with the members. A few days later, she ran into some men at the shopping center and they complimented her on the speech her husband had made. She said, "Yes, I heard. I was surprised about the subject matter, as he's only tried it twice. The first time he got so sore he could hardly walk for a week, and the second time he fell off." ______________________________________________ DUMBWAITER: Waiter who asks if the kids would care to order dessert AMNESIA: Condition that enables a woman who has changed 600 diapers to make love again.
