"I'm not free. I'm four!" ____________________________________________________ Reported by Rock An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by Frank Szakacs, Sarasota, Florida, USA Convicted sex offender rapes disabled woman in Sarasota parking lot A convicted sex offender is accused of raping a non-verbal woman with autism in a Sarasota parking lot while her mother was inside a store, according to the Sarasota County Sheriffs Office. It happened in the 1800 block of Stickney Point Road around 7 p.m. on Tuesday. The victim's mother told deputies she went inside a store while her 21-year-old daughter, who has developmental disabilities and the capacities of a six or seven-year-old child, waited in the passenger seat of the vehicle. When the mother exited the store 10 minutes later, she said she found the suspect, later identified as 61-year-old Frank Szakacs, inside her vehicle and on top of her daughter. Detectives say a friend of Szakacs witnessed the incident and told them that he is a registered sex offender. Szakacs was located in a wooded area near the parking lot where the incident occurred, taken into custody and charged with sexual assault and kidnapping. Szakacs has ten prior arrests in Sarasota County for crimes including sex offender violation, battery, and DUI. He was originally convicted in 1996 of Gross Sexual Imposition in Cuyahoga, Ohio. He then failed to meet sex offender registration requirements in 2019 in Sarasota and was sentenced to three years in prison. He was released on November 30, 2021, and registered as a transient living in Venice and more recently, as a transient living along Ashton Road in Sarasota. Szakacs has been in prison several times, including in 1987 for robbery and 2016 for his fourth or subsequent DUI conviction. In total, Szakacs has 29 prior charges and four convictions, according to SCSO. The investigation is ongoing and additional charges are pending. ____________________________________________________ If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! ______________________________________________________ From: Lambo Re: Sharp long distance pictures Dear Webby, OK, I made a sand pillow for my camera, but long distance pictures are still fuzzy. What next? Lambo Dear Lambo If the lense of your camera is small, if you run it on automatic setings, it will keep the shutter open longer to allow enough light to come in. Turn the automatic settings off and try to set the picture for dark and romantic. Lightening it later is easy. Have FUN! DearWebby It's forty below zero one winter night in Alaska. Pat is drinking at his local saloon and the bartender says to him, "You owe me quite a bit on your tab." "Sorry," says Pat, "I'm flat broke this week." "That's okay," says the bartender. "I'll just write your name and the amount you owe me right here on the wall." And Pat pleads, "I don't want any of my friends to see that." "They won't," says the bartender. "I'll just hang your parka over it until it's paid." | If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! | If you like my work,

When he scattered some change on the ground, it seemed to work fine. Then, even when he wasn't near the coins, the thing kept going off. Over and over, he adjusted and re-adjusted with no luck. After watching him for a while, Sue said, "I think I know what's wrong." "I know what I'm doing!" he snapped back. After 20 minutes, he finally turned to her. "Okay, what's wrong?" Sue said, "You're standing over the buried oil tank." ______________________________________________ | Ophelia Dingbatter's NewsNo sermon and not suitable for church, just jokes and fun for grownups.

In the good old days Back in the 1970s we didn't have the space shuttle buzzing around within rifle range of the mountains to get all excited about. We had to settle for men walking on the crummy old moon. In my day, we didn't have virtual reality. If a one-eyed, razorback barbarian warrior was chasing you with an axe, you just had to hope your axe was better than his. In my day you couldn't take basket weaving or acting instead of math. And that was before they invented calculators! If you couldn't calculate the trajectory of an intercontinental missile, well, then you just repeated Grade 6 until you could. In my day, we didn't have school buses. We had to hitch a ride on a dinosaur or walk to school 5 Miles, and it was all uphill. Both ways! ___________________________________________________ | Today, January 17, in 1377 The Papal See was transferred from Avignon in France back to Rome. 1562 French Protestants were recognized under the Edict of St. Germain. 1773 Captain Cook's Resolution became the first ship to cross the Antarctic Circle. 1852 The independence of the Transvaal Boers was recognized by Britain. 1871 Andrew S.
