Now what should he do? His mother had an idea: "Why don't you send her flowers, and on the card invite her to your apartment for a home- cooked meal?" He thought this was a great strategy, and a week later, the woman came to dinner. His mother called the next day to see how things had gone. "I was totally humiliated," he moaned. "She insisted on washing the dishes." "What's wrong with that?" asked his mother. "We hadn't started eating yet." ------------------- How to intimidate the poor guy, and guarantee that there won't be another invitation! ______________________________________________________ ____________________________________ If you like the Humor Letter, please vote!

Briefly. A drunken driver was arrested after fleeing the scene of a crash, then doing doughnuts in the road past deputies, the Manatee County Sheriff's Office said. According to the Sheriff's Office, Scott Rapson, 21, of Palmetto fled the scene of a crash on State Road 62 on Tuesday night following a domestic incident. When deputies arrived in the 31000 block of S.R. 62, they found Rapson driving his vehicle in circles, or doughnuts, in the roadway. Rapson raced back and forth past deputies and made it clear he was not going to stop. A pursuit ensued and Rapson hit three sets of stop sticks, which punctured his tires, before the vehicle stopped in a grassy ditch area. Rapson was arrested and no injuries were reported. Rapson had a blood alcohol level of 0.1 percent. A driver is considered intoxicated in Florida with a level of 0.08 percent or higher. _________________________________ Tech Support Pits From: Clint Re: How safe are CDs for back-up Dear Webby, How safe are CD's to use for back-ups?

Leroy answered the door and was handed a paper which the deliverer said was a subpoena. Leroy showed it to Tyrone and asked him if he knew what it was. Tyrone in his pompous lack of knowledge said, "Dis here is a subpeena." "Wut is a sub-peena?" Leroy asked. "Well," said Tyrone, "dat's law talk. Yo wife is suing you for deevorce. We know dat 'sub' means 'unda' and 'peena' is Latin for 'penis', so -- 'subpeena' means unda the penis which means she done got you by da balls." | If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! | |
Thanks to Dave for this story: One evening, two girlfriends and I went to a nightclub, only to find the place packed with young people. At 40, we felt old, but before we could make a dignified exit, a tall, handsome man approached us. "Perhaps we were being a little hasty in leaving," I thought. Then with a big smile, the man extended his hand to one of my friends and said, "Hello. Remember me? You taught me in third grade." ____________________________________________________ Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com Kitchen Time Saver Cook Two Casseroles Kitchen Time Saver - Serving Ice Cream at Parties If you are serving cake or pie with ice cream, save time by preparing the ice cream scoops before the party. Just scoop ice cream into large muffin tins with cupcake liners. Then cover them plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn and put them in the freezer until needed. Tip provided by Thriftyfun.com font> ____________________________________________________ This allegedly true story provides an amusing example of lateral thinking and initiative, and staff training (or lack of) at the workplace. While transporting some unfortunate mental patients from one secure place to another, the newly appointed bus driver stopped at a roadside restaurant for natural break. On his return to the bus, all twenty patients were gone. Being a resourceful fellow and fearing the consequences of his negligence, he drove to the next bus stop, where he claimed to be a replacement for the usual service. Allowing twenty people aboard, the driver made straight for his destination, where he warned staff at the gates that the 'patients' were deluded and extremely volatile. The angry 'patients' were duly removed, sedated and incarcerated, and remained in detention for three days, until staff were able to check the records and confirm their true identities. The actual patients were never found. | | Wish I owned one of these beautiful jewel encrusted books! |
In an interview this week Paris Hilton said she never discussed sex with her parents. She said she was too shy to ask them about it. In fact, everything she knows about sex she learned from watching her own videos. --- Jay Leno ___________________________________________________ | Ophelia Dingbatter's NewsNo sermon and not suitable for church, just jokes and fun for grownups.
