Today's Bonehead Award: Minnesota man arrested for 28th DWI __________________________________________ A mother and her daughter were shopping in a mall one day when the mother spied an expensive fur coat. She tried it on and stood in front of the mirror admiring the look and stroking the fur. "This year, I think I'll get myself a birthday present," she said. "But mom," her daughter protested, "some helpless, poor creature has to suffer so that you can have this." "Don't worry, honey. Your father won't get the VISA bill for a couple of weeks." __________________________________________ Thanks to Jean for sending this picture: __________________________________________ A minister had his remaining teeth pulled and new dentures made. His usual sermon lasts about half an hour or a little more, but the first Sunday after his dental work he preaches only five minutes. The second Sunday, he is good for 15 minutes. But on the third Sunday he gets going and doesn't stop for an hour and a half. "What's going on, Reverend?" a member of the congregation asked. "The first Sunday, my gums were so sore it hurt to talk. The second Sunday, my dentures were hurting a lot. The third Sunday, I accidentally grabbed my wife's dentures as I was heading out the door and I simply could not stop talking." ___________________________________________________ Reported by Mark An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by Danny Lee Bettcher, 64, New York Mills, Minnesota Western Minnesota man arrested for 28th DWI A 64-year-old western Minnesota man has been caught for the 28th time driving while intoxicated, according to prosecutors, adding to what likely is a record that state authorities have long attributed to him. Danny Lee Bettcher, of New York Mills, was charged in Otter Tail County District Court last week with felony-level drunken driving and refusing to submit to a preliminary breath test. Bettcher, who had a valid yet restricted driver's license at the time of his arrest, remains jailed in lieu of $100,000 bail ahead of a court appearance. Assistant County Attorney Jacob Thomason said Tuesday that if convicted this time around, the maximum sentence is seven years, with the first two-thirds spent in prison and the balance on supervised release. Bettcher would then serve another five years on probation. Bettcher's criminal history already includes spending four years in prison for a prior drunken driving offense, and he's been ordered to treatment at least a dozen times. While appearing in an Otter Tail courtroom in 2010 for his 27th arrest, a record for a Minnesotan at the time, the on- and-off construction worker and handyman said, "I drink to get drunk." Bettcher's 28th arrest came Thursday soon after he left the VFW in New York Mills, where he had been drinking. He's also been caught driving drunk in Nebraska and North Dakota. According to the criminal complaint: An off-duty sheriff's deputy was in the VFW and saw Bettcher drinking. Bettcher's reputation for driving drunk is "well known to the law enforcement community," read the charging document, which listed numerous aliases for the defendant. The deputy alerted authorities that Bettcher was leaving the VFW in a car. Bettcher ignored a stop sign and drove about 10 to 15 miles per hour on Hwy. 10 and was swerving. He made it another 200 yards before police pulled him over. Bettcher's eyes were bloodshot and watery. A beer can was spotted behind the passenger seat. The officer asked for Bettcher's driver's license. He produced a health identification card. The officer located Bettcher's license and noted that it restricted him from drinking and driving. Bettcher refused to conduct a field sobriety test and had to put his hands on the squad car to steady himself. "I am way over," he said. "Take me to jail." State Department of Public Safety spokeswoman Megan Leonard confirmed that Bettcher had a valid driver's license at the time of his arrest, and that it included "a restriction that any use of alcohol or drugs invalidates the license." As of Tuesday, a move to revoke his license is pending.

____________________________________________________ Consider the scoutmaster and his wife driving along a rural highway only to find the road blocked by a herd of cows which had escaped through a broken fence. The scoutmaster tries honking his horn to scare the cattle from the pavement, but to no avail. The horn is dead. He gets out of the car, lifts the hood, and sees the problem -- a loose wire. He hooks it up again and gets back in the car. His wife asks him if he had any luck. "Yep," he replies. "Beep repaired." | | Baxter Black's poetry. LOL! |

Wondering what to do, she turns to her supervisor. "Just use copy machine paper," her boss says. With that, the intern takes her last remaining blank piece of paper, puts it on the photocopier -- then proceeds to make five blank copies. ____________________________________________ Consider the three friends who die in a car crash and are met at the Pearly Gates with the same question: "When you're lying in your casket, and friends and family are mourning over you, what would you like to hear them say about you?" The first guy immediately responds, "I would like to hear them say that I was one of the great doctors of my time and a great family man." The second guy says, "I would like to hear that I was a wonderful husband and school teacher who made a huge difference in the children of tomorrow." The last guy thinks for a moment, and then replies, "I guess I'd like to hear them say, 'Look, he's moving!'"
