Today's Bonehead Award: Mexican in Ohio jail ran narcotics ring _______________________________________________ If you like the Humor Letter, please vote! _______________________________________________ There is nothing new under the sun but there are lots of old things we don't know. --- Ambrose Bierce (1842 - 1914), _______________________________________________ >From Maryann To prepare for my daughter's First Communion, I called he church in the town where we used to live to get a copy of her baptismal certificate. We lived there for only a short while, so I didn't know the clergy well. When the secretary asked me the name of the father, I told her that I couldn't remember. After a brief silence, she said, "Ma'am, I'm talking about the name of the baby's father." ________________________________________________` Thanks to Trish for this picture: Mandarin Duck ____________________________________________________ If you like the Humor Letter, please vote! Thanks for your votes! ___________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by Jose Lozano-Leon, 41, Northeast Ohio Correctional Center Youngstown, Ohio Mexican in Ohio jail ran narcotics ring An imprisoned illegal immigrant used a smuggled cellphone to run a drug trafficking operation that distributed fentanyl, cocaine, methamphetamine, and marijuana smuggled into the U.S. from Mexico, federal prosecutors allege. Jose Lozano-Leon, 41, was one of 10 defendants named in a 17- count felony indictment filed yesterday in U.S. District Court in Cleveland. Lozano-Leon, a Mexican national, is identified as the head of the drug trafficking organization. Lozano-Leon has been locked up in the privately-owned Northeast Ohio Correctional Center in Youngstown since late last year, when he pleaded guilty to illegally reentering the U.S.. Lozano-Leon was convicted in 2008 for conspiracy to distribute heroin. After serving a federal prison sentence, he was deported to Mexico. Almost immediately upon being locked up in 2018, Lozano-Leon obtained a cellphone and continued operating the drug ring he allegedly headed while on the street. Lozano-Leon, the indictment alleges, used the contraband phone to send texts and make calls to coconspirators. Remarkably, Lozano-Leon even used his phone to exchange texts with an associate who was being held at a federal prison in Michigan (and who also secured a cellphone). As charged in the indictment, Lozano-Leon arranged for narcotics purchases, courier pickups, and money transfers while incarcerated. In texts and calls, Lozano-Leon had $25,000 sent to Phoenix for the purchase of fentanyl and $7500 mailed to Washington State for the a pot buy. In a May phone call, Lozano-Leon asked an associate how long it would take to sell cocaine that cost him $33,000 per kilo. In another conversation, he assured a cohort that the drug ring could sell 100 pounds of marijuana every two weeks. Investigators charge that Lozano-Leon's organization specialized in fake Oxycodone pills that actually contained heroin and fentanyl. Lozano-Leon referred to the counterfeit blue painkillers as Skittles, texting that his people were traveling to New York City to pick up 4000 pills. During an April 26 conversation, Lozano-Leon spoke to an associate about how strong he wanted fentanyl pills to be. On a scale of one to 10, Lozano-Leon replied that he desired pills that were an eight or nine, since he wanted to avoid customer overdoses. In an April 13 phone call with an associate who was preparing to travel to deliver money for a drug purchase, Lozano-Leon stressed the importance of making a good impression with the supplier, according to the indictment. Referring to the seller, Lozano-Leon texted, THEY GOT ALL THE OTHER WORK. FIRST IMPRESSIONS R VERY IMPORTANT SO THEY CAN TRUST US AND SEND US THE WHITE CHINESE BITCHES. Lozano-Leon, investigators allege, was referring to heroin and cocaine when he referred to white Chinese bitches. The takedown of Lozano-Leon's trafficking organization was aided by a confidential source who appears to have been flipped by Drug Enforcement Administration agents. In Mexico drug dealers are housed in special prisons way out in the desert, where there are no cell-phone towers. If they have to be in town for court appearances, the jails use electronics to jam cell phone frequencies. In the US that tchnology does not exist yet. Btw., Lozano-Leon got his cellphone delivered by drone. DearWebby's Tech Support Pits From: Cheryl Re: Fake mail from my address? Dear Webby, My email address is being used by spammers - I get junk in my inbox with my address as sender!! My spam seems to have doubled in quantity also. Has my computer been hijacked? Is it safe to use for banking etc ? I have an up to date virus protection from Trend Micro, use spybot search and destroy and Crap Cleaner regularly. Cheryl Dear Cheryl Not yours, but the computer of one of your friends or relatives is infected, and is sending spam to you with your address forged in as both the sender and recipient. In addition to that, the machine of that silly ninny has also fed your address to the master computers of that botnet, and you are getting spam from various zombie computers on that botnet. I have written about this a number of times. The solution is to use MailWasher and make a filter, that has your address both in the FROM and the TO field, but does not have "Cheryl" in the FROM field, and to flush any mail that it catches, into the trash, unseen. With MailWasher it is childishly easy to make filters like that. Because I have used the same addresses for about 25 years, and have them showing on many web sites, I get around 5000 mails per day. Thanks to MailWasher I only see the 100 - 200 that I actually need to see and answer. Have FUN! DearWebby Automatically move ALL your settings and programs. >From Mathilda My boyfriend and I were lunching at a sidewalk cafe in Huntington Beach, CA. Our waitress looked like a real surfer girl: athletic with a great tan and blond hair. Mulling over the menu, my guy asked her if the roast beef was rare. The waitress gave us a long blank look, and then replied, "Well, no. We have it, like, just about every day." | If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! | |
Sitting through fire safety and prevention programs can make anyone nod off. So the instructor tried to lighten the mood by going around the room asking where all the guests were from. "Burnt Mattress, Arkansas," called out the friend sitting next to me. "Burnt Mattress!" said the instructor, suppressing a laugh. "I've heard some unusual town names before, but never that one. Where's it located?" My friend shot back, "Right above Hot Springs." ___________________________________________________ Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com Thriftyfun.com font color="#009990"> Cellphone To Make Shopping Easier Before you go shopping, write down the numbers of other stores that carry the products you are interesting in purchasing.

___________________________________________________ "That was nice of you to set up a blind date for your ex- boyfriend." "I know, but I don't hold any grudges." "I'm surprised he trusted you enough to agree to go out with her." "Well, I had to swear to him she's Jennifer Lopez's double." "Wow! Is that true?" "I wouldn't lie. She's twice her weight and twice her age." ___________________________________________________ Thanks to Carter for this story: Morris and Max both 89 yrs. old meet every morning in the park. Morris shows up just as Max is finishing his 4 mile run. Morris asks him. "What's your secret? I have to sit after walking half a block!" Max says, "I eat dark rye bread three times a day, I feel great, I can run and am still dating lots of women." Morris stops at the bakery on the way home and says, "You have any dark rye bread?" The lady at the counter says, "Yes." Morris says "Give me four loaves." The lady says, "Four loaves, it'll get hard." Morris says, "Why does everyone know about this stuff but me!" ___________________________________________________ Thanks to Cookie for this story: Two Irish friends leave the pub. One says to other, 'I can't be bothered to walk all the way home' 'I know, me too but we've no money for a cab and we've missed the last bus home.' 'We could steal a bus from the depot.' replies his mate. They arrive at the bus depot and one goes in to get a bus while the other keeps a look-out. After shuffling around for ages, the lookout shouts, 'What the are you doing? Have you not found one yet?' 'I can't find a No. 91. Some Mick must have stolen it.' 'Oh Jeysus, ye tick sod, just take the No. 14 and we'll walk from the roundabout. __________________________________________________ | Ophelia Dingbatter's NewsNo sermon and not suitable for church, just jokes and fun for grownups.
