 Today's Bonehead Award: Paedophile, 27, who told schoolgirls he wanted to rape them and get them pregnant has jail sentence extended to five-and-a-half years  _______________________________________________ If you like the Humor Letter, please vote!  _______________________________________________ Sometimes I lie awake at night, and I ask, "Where have I gone wrong?" Then a voice says to me, "This is going to take more than one night." --- Charles M. Schulz (1922 - 2000) _______________________________________________ A friend of mine was visiting a college, which had those security call boxes every few hundred feet. If you were wandering around the campus at night and felt uneasy about somebody following you, for instance, you could hit the button and have a security officer come investigate immediately. One of these phones had a sign that said, "Out of Order." Underneath it someone had scrawled, "Keep Running!" ________________________________________________`   Santorini Akratiri ____________________________________________________

 ___________________________________________________  An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  Abdul Khalid, 27, Manchester, UK  Paedophile, 27, who told schoolgirls he wanted to rape them and get them pregnant has jail sentence extended to five-and-a-half years  Abdul Khalid from Manchester told girl, 12, he wanted 'to do you and your friend' Khalid told another he wanted to meet in a Stretford park and 'touch her all over' Khalid told the girl on Facebook he was going to 'rape' her and get her pregnant He was serving three years for two counts of inciting a child into sexual activity Khalid was jailed for extra 32 months at Manchester Crown Court on Wednesday A convicted paedophile faces a further two-and-a-half years in prison after telling schoolgirls he was going to rape them and get them pregnant. Abdul Khalid, 27, from Manchester, told a 12-year-old he wanted 'to do you and your friends', as well as begging a 15-year-old for sex. Khalid spoke with another girl about how he wanted to meet her in a park in Stretford, and how he would 'touch her all over'. Khalid told the girl in Facebook messages that he was going to 'rape' her and get her pregnant, Manchester's Minshull Street Crown Court heard. Prosecutors said he told another girl he wanted to have sex with her while she wore her school uniform. Police seized his phone, but Khalid refused to tell them the password, adding: 'I will let you hack into it.' Khalid was already serving a three-year jail term imposed in February 2017, for similar offending of two counts of inciting a child into sexual activity. The offences for which he has now appeared in court only came to light after that sentencing, which was passed at Minshull Street Crown Court. They were uncovered while police were examining his phones during a separate investigation, which led to him being sentenced for conspiracy to commit fraud. Now Khalid has pleaded guilty to four counts of attempting to incite a child into sexual activity, and one count of inciting a child into sexual activity. He was only charged with one completed offence of incitement as the authorities were only able to trace the 12-year-old girl. Khalid told the girl in Facebook messages that he was going to 'rape' her and get her pregnant, Manchester's Minshull Street Crown Court (pictured) heard	+2 Khalid told the girl in Facebook messages that he was going to 'rape' her and get her pregnant, Manchester's Minshull Street Crown Court (pictured) heard Khalid was jailed for an additional 32 months at Manchester Crown Court on Wednesday. The criminal has 15 previous convictions, including for drugs and motoring offences. Sentencing, Judge David Stockdale QC said: 'These are very serious sexual offences. There was an element of grooming. 'They are cynical, exploitative offences. You exploited naive, young girls. This was corruption of young girls for your own sexual gratification. 'Your acts were entirely selfish. You had little regard for their welfare.' 
 DearWebby's Tech Support Pits  From: Tamera Re: Excel Fonts  Dear Webby, I realize that with Excel things take a lot longer, and often don't really make sense. Right now I am trying to find a way to change the font to Arial and 10 point, after pasting some numbers from a web page messed it all up. I can't even find the place where you do that! Help! Tamera  Dear Tamera Your name brings back a song I used to really love as a kid. OK, in Excel, at the top click on HOME Next click on and hover over the letter on top of the column, that you want to change. That highlights the column. You can even hold down SHIFT and highlight a whole range of columns. Now look up, just below the HOME tab you will see the name of a font. Click on the little pull-down arrow on it's right. Then go refill your coffee. Excel takes a while for that. When you come back, you will see the whole list of your installed fonts. Select the one you want, and pull down the size number to the one you want. That's it. There is no OK or ACCEPT. Just click on a cell and you will see it has been adjusted. Have FUN! DearWebby

 As a jet was flying over Arizona on a clear day, the copilot was providing his passengers with a running commentary about landmarks over the PA system. "Coming up on the right, you can see the Meteor Crater, which is a major tourist attraction in northern Arizona. It was formed when a lump of nickel and iron, roughly 150 feet in diameter and weighing 300,000 tons, struck the earth 50,000 years ago at about 40,000 miles an hour, scattering white-hot debris for miles in every direction. The hole measures nearly a mile across and is 570 feet deep." The lady sitting next to me exclaimed: "Wow, look! It just missed the highway!"

 Heavy snow had buried my van in our driveway. My husband, Scott, dug around the wheels, rocked the van back and forth and finally pushed me free. I was on the road when I heard an odd noise. I got on my cell and called home. "Thank God you answered," I said when Scott picked up. "There's this alarming sound coming under the van. For a moment I thought I was dragging you down the highway." "And you didn't stop?" -- Paige Fairfield, Toulon, Ill. ___________________________________________________  Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com Thriftyfun.com  Buying Books Discount bookstores and used books stores usually sell books for half off cover price and online retailers can be even cheaper.

 ___________________________________________________ >From Anna A friend and I stayed at a Chicago hotel while attending a convention. Since we weren't used to the big city, we were overly concerned about security. The first night we placed a chair against the door and stacked our luggage on it. To complete the barricade, we put the trash can on top. If an intruder tried to break in, we'd be sure to hear him. Around 1 a.m. there was a knock on the door. "Who is it?" my friend asked nervously. "Honey," a woman on the other side yelled, "you left your key in the door." ___________________________________________________ Two mothers are having a conversation about their children one day. "How do you get your Marvin up so early on school mornings?" asks Joan. "Oh, that's easy," replies Marianne. "I just throw the cat on his bed." "Why does that wake him up?" "He sleeps with the dog!" ___________________________________________________ A woman called the Canon help desk with a problem with her printer. The tech asked her if she was "running it under Windows." The woman responded, "No, my desk is next to the door. But that's a good point. The man sitting in the cubicle next to me is under a window, and his is working fine." __________________________________________________
