It is the first practical helicopter, but for political reasons saw no action in WWII. ____________________________________________________ The direct use of force is such a poor solution to any problem, it is generally employed only by small children and large nations. --- David Friedman ____________________________________________________ While on maternity leave, a woman from our office brought in her new bundle of joy. She also had her seven-year- old son with her. Everyone gathered around the baby, and the little boy asked, "Mommy, can I have some money to buy a soda?" "What do you say?" she asked. Respectfully, the boy replied, "You're thin and beautiful." The woman reached in her purse and gave her son the money. ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ As the coals from our barbecue burned down, our hosts passed out marshmallows and long roasting forks. Just then, two fire trucks roared by, sirens blaring, lights flashing. They stopped at a house right down the block. All twelve of us raced out of the back yard, down the street, where we found the owners of the blazing house standing by helplessly. They glared at us with looks of disgust. Suddenly, we realized that we were all still holding our roasting forks with marshmallows on them.... ____________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by Othal Wallace, 29, Daytona Beach, Florida, USA Manhunt Underway for 'Coward' Who Shot Police Officer in Head - Huge Reward Offered A multi-agency manhunt is underway for the suspected shooter of a Daytona Beach police officer. The officer's body-cam recorded the attempted murder. The suspect, 29-year-old Othal Wallace, is believed to have shot a 26-year-old officer with the Daytona Beach Police Department in the head Wednesday night, WKMG-TV reported. Wallace is considered armed and dangerous and officials say he is driving a gray 2016 Honda HRV with California license plate number 7TNX532. The police department confirmed that a manhunt was underway at around 11 p.m. Wednesday, and U.S. marshals joined the search Thursday morning, according to Daytona Beach Police Chief Jakari Young. So Im grateful for every agency thats responded over here tonight to help us as theyre committed to staying out here until we get this coward in custody. The police department is offering a $100,000 reward for anyone who can help authorities locate the man who shot one of our officers in the head, according to a statement. The police officer, a three-year veteran of the department, is in critical condition, ABC News reported. The police department released body camera footage of the incident in which a police officer approached the suspect who was sitting in a parked car. The officer was responding to a suspicious incident and asked if the suspect lived at the property. Whats going on? Whats going on now? Dont do this. Why are you asking me if I live here? the suspect said. According to ABC, the police officer asked again if the suspect lived there and there was a short struggle before the officer was shot. Dearwebby's Tech Support Pits from: Russ RE: Bulk Re-size pictures Dear Webby Thanks for the all the great humor and especially the technical information over the years. Youre still the best. Do you know of some trick or piece of software that would help me save my precious photos but reduce them down in size, halving them would be a good start, smaller even better. These blasted phones are creating larger and larger photos. I have my camera on the smallest setting which is 6MP. This creates photos in the 2-3MB range when a 400K photo would do nicely in most circumstances. Im running out of backup space on my laptop and do not want to jump through any more hoops. I know theres software that will do what I want one at a time but Id like to do it a directory/folder at a time! Help if you can. Thanks for listening. At least Im getting it off my chest. Russ Wisconsin Dear Russ It CAN be done with just Windows alone, but: 1) it is a silly rigamarole 2) sooner or later you will wish you had not done that. The procedure is at Bulk Resize What I would recommend instead is that you get one or more camera chips. WISH has 128 GIGAbyte camera chips for $5.78 That is probably a lot bigger than your hard disk. Pretty well all the stores, that once upon a time, used to sell camera film, now sell camera chips. And of course all computer and office supply stores. Then just get a zip lock baggie, attach it to the monitor or the wall, and put the chip in there. Of course, any convenient safe storage place will do fine. You can even be a big spender, and get two chips, and put one into your bank deposit box. To load it, stick the chip into a chip slot on the computer or into a $9 chip reader, then use SEARCH EVERYTHING, search for pictures, CTRL A to select all, and drag them to the chip. No need to trash them down to smaller size, or do anything, that you WILL regret. Have FUN! DearWebby A minister, a priest and a rabbi went for a hike one day. It was very hot. They were sweating and exhausted when they came upon a small lake. Since it was fairly secluded, they took off all their clothes and jumped in the water. Feeling refreshed, the trio decided to pick a few berries while enjoying their "freedom." As they were crossing an open area, who should come along but a group of ladies from town. Unable to get to their clothes in time, the minister and the priest covered their privates and the rabbi covered his face while they ran for cover. After the ladies had left and the men got their clothes back on, the minister and the priest asked the rabbi why he covered his face rather than his privates. The rabbi replied, "I don't know about you, but in MY congregation, its my face they would recognize." | If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! | If you like my work,

_____________________________________________ The manager of a large office noticed a new man one day and told him to come into his office. "What is your name?" was the first thing the manager asked the new guy. "John," the new guy replied. The manager scowled, "Look... I don't know what kind of a mamby-pamby place you worked at before, but I don't call anyone by their first name. It breeds familiarity and that leads to a breakdown in authority. I refer to my employees by their last name only... Smith, Jones, Baker... that's all. I am to be referred to only as Mr. Robertson. Now that we got that straight, what is your last name?" The new guy sighed, "Darling. My name is John Darling." ___________________________________________ The rules at a particular university were such that if the professor was not present in the classroom by 15 minutes past the hour, the class was considered a "walk" and the students were free to leave -- with no penalties for missing a class. The rooms were equipped with the type of wall clocks which "jumped" ahead each minute, in a very noticeable fashion. As it were, these clocks were not of the most sophisticated construction. Some enterprising student discovered that if one were to hit the clock with chalkboard erasers, it would cause the clock to "jump" ahead 1 minute. So, it became almost daily practice for these students to take target practice at the clock (this particular professor was not the most punctual, and the students considered him severely "absent-minded"). A few well- aimed erasers, and lo, 15 minutes were passed, and class dismissed itself. Well, when the day for the next exam rolled around, the professor strolled into the room, passed out the exams, and told the class, "You have one hour to complete the examination". The professor then proceeded to collect the erasers from around the room, gleefully took aim at the clock. When he had successfully "jumped" the clock forward one hour, he ended the class and collected the exam papers. ____________________________________________ This quiz has been around since we were kids. Remember the answers? 1. If a plane crashed on the border of the USA and Canada, where should the survivors be buried? 2. How many species of each animal did Moses take aboard the ark? 3.

If a south bound electric train is traveling at a rate of 66 miles per hour and the wind is blowing to the north at 35 miles per hour, which way will the smoke blow? 10. On which side of a chicken are the most feathers? ANSWERS: 1. You don't bury survivors. 2. Moses didn't have an Ark, Noah did. 3. All twelve of them. 4. Half way, then he is walking out of the woods. 5. Nothing, a coin could not be dated BC. 6. One (spiraling) on each side. 7. The camp must be at the north pole, therefore the bear is white. 8.
