But first I'm gonna have to travel to the top two corners of the map so it won't fall down. --- Mitch Hedberg (1968 - 2005) ____________________________________________________ A man is strolling past the mental hospital and suddenly remembers an important meeting. Unfortunately, his watch has stopped, and he cannot tell if he is late or not. Then, he notices a patient similarly strolling about within the hospital fence. Calling out to the patient, the man says, "Pardon me, sir, but do you have the time?" The patient calls back, "One moment!" and throws himself upon the ground, pulling out a short stick as he does. He pushes the stick into the ground, and, pulling out a carpenter's level, assures himself that the stick is vertical. With a compass, the patient locates north and with a steel ruler, measures the precise length of the shadow cast by the stick. Withdrawing a slide rule from his pocket, the patient calculates rapidly, then swiftly packs up all his tools and turns back to the pedestrian, saying, "It is now precisely 3:29 pm, provided today is August 16th, which I believe it is." The man can't help but be impressed by this demonstration, and sets his watch accordingly. Before he leaves, he says to the patient, "That was really quite remarkable, but tell me, what do you do on a cloudy day, or at night, when the stick casts no shadow?" The patient shrugs and says, "I suppose I'd just look at my watch." ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ It was a man's 80th birthday and his friends wanted to get him a special gift. Since he was a widower of many years, and after some discussion, they decide to have a hooker come to his house that night and give him the time of his life. Later that evening as the old man was getting ready for bed he hears the doorbell ring. He opens the door and sees a hooker standing there in a sexy outfit. She says to the senior: "Hi there, I'm here to give you super sex!" The old man thinks for a moment... then says: "I'll take the soup". ____________________________________________________ Reported by Rock An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by James Herbert Brick, 61, Asheville, North Carolina, USA Kidnapping and child pornography charges after a teenage girl's emergency hand signals learned from TikTok helped lead to arrest. A North Carolina man is facing kidnapping and child pornography charges after a teenage girl in his vehicle began making emergency hand gestures learned from TikTok helped lead to his arrest. Laurel County sheriff's deputies on Nov. 4 arrested James Herbert Brick, 61, after receiving a 911 call about a young, female passenger in a silver Toyota who "appeared to be in distress" making hand gestures known on the social media app to represent "violence at home I need help domestic violence," according to authorities. One such video with more than 20,000 views posted to TikTok, a short-form video-sharing app popular among teenagers, demonstrates how those in need of help can communicate that they are in distress without saying anything using hand gestures. When authorities located the vehicle, they conducted a traffic stop and questioned Brick and the 16-year-old passenger in his car. "It was learned through investigation that the female passenger was a reported missing juvenile reported by her parents on Tuesday morning missing from Asheville, North Carolina," the Laurel Sheriff's Office said in a Facebook post. "A check through NCIC confirmed that she was a reported missing person." The missing teen told investigators that she and Brick had traveled through North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky and Ohio after her family reported her missing. When Brick's relatives in Ohio realized the 16-year-old in his custody was underaged and had been reported missing, Brick left the state and headed back toward North Carolina. While they drove between states, the juvenile victim began making emergency hand gestures she learned on TikTok to other motorists in an effort to get their attention to call authorities. Investigators also discovered a phone in Brick's possession "that allegedly portrayed a juvenile female in a sexual manner." ____________________________________________________ If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! ______________________________________________________ From: Rona I forgot what I was going to ask, but it is urgent.

_____________________________________________ A young woman buys a mirror at an antique shop and hangs it on her bathroom door. One evening, while getting undressed, she playfully says, "Mirror, mirror, on my door, make my bust-line forty-four." Instantly, there is a brilliant flash of light, and her breasts grow to enormous proportions. Excitedly, she runs to tell her husband what happened, and in minutes they both return. This time the husband crossed his fingers and says, "Mirror, mirror on the door, make my penis touch the floor." Again, there is a bright flash and... both his legs fall off. ______________________________________________ When Sam returned to the house one evening, his wife Sarah announced that the new cleaning woman they had hired had stolen two towels. "Yeah," said Sam rather disinterested, and reclining on the sofa, "that wasn't very nice of her to do." "It certainly wasn't," Sarah said. "And they were two of the best towels we had... the ones we got from the Hilton Hotel while we were on our honeymoon." ______________________________________________ | Ophelia Dingbatter's NewsNo sermon and not suitable for church, just jokes and fun for grownups.
