Finally, the waiter came over and asked, "Who should I give the check to?" The Italian guy said, "Give it to me. I'll take care of everything." "Fine," said the waiter. The next day the headlines read: 'Ventriloquist Strangled to Death' ___________________________________________________ One day, an immigrant from Poland entered a New York City Police Precinct to report that his American wife was planning to kill him. The police officer on duty was intrigued by this, and he asked, "How sure are ya that she is gonna kill ya? Did she threaten to kill ya?" "No," replied the nervous immigrant. "Did ya hear her tell someone else that she's gonna kill ya?" "No." "Did someone tell ya that your wife is gonna kill ya?" "No." "Then why in God's name did ya think she's gonna kill ya?" asked the exasperated police officer. "Because I found bottle on dresser and I think she gonna poison me!" He handed the police officer the suspect bottle. The police officer took one look at the label on the bottle and started to laugh out loud. The immigrant became indignant and said, "What's so funny? Can't you see the label on bottle says 'Polish Remover'?" ___________________________________________________ >Reported by Rock An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD and a Darwin Award has been earned by 3 teens Glendale, Arizona, USA Teens arrested for shooting at police officers during their burglary investigation Suspect allegedly said he wanted to murder a police officer' Juveniles shooting at Glendale Policers officers caught on video Using ShotSpotter technology, police were able to determine that the gunshots came from a nearby apartment complex. Officers went to the apartment complex and obtained surveillance video that showed two juveniles, one of which was known to police, fire several shots at the officers. The two juvenile suspects, ages 13 and 14, were taken into custody. During questioning with investigators, the 14-year-old allegedly admitted to taking a gun from his mother's dresser, going outside, and filming the 13-year-old firing at the officers. "The younger boy fired one shot and the older boy took the gun at that point firing several more rounds," police said in a statement. The 13-year-old allegedly admitted to police that he "wanted to murder a police officer." "Its one thing to have this happen, but when you find out later that it's two juveniles, 13 and 14-year-old that were shooting at you for no apparent reason, it's appalling, and in almost 20 years that I've been here, I've never heard of anything like this," said Sgt. Randy Stewart with Glendale Police. Both suspects were booked into jail and are accused of attempted murder, aggravated assault, and unlawful discharge of a firearm. "I think theres a lot of frustration. Again, when you see something like this happen, and its like their lives are the ones that are being targeted for senseless reasons by such young children, and I think theres some frustration level thats involved in that," said Sgt. Stewart. Residents in the area say crime happens with frequency in the area. "Its scary. How do I say it? I have a lot of respect for the police. I really do. I wouldnt recommend anybody to live here, but at times, we don't have a choice," said Kathy Villagomez. ___________________________________________________ A young woman wasn't feeling well, and asked one her co-workers to recommend a physician. "I know a great one in the city, but he is very expensive. Five hundred dollars for the first visit, and one hundred dollars for each one after that." The woman went to the doctor's office and, trying to save a little money, cheerily announced. "I'm back!" Not fooled for a second, the doctor quickly examined her and said, "Very good, just continue the treatment I prescribed on your last visit." ___________________________________________________ If you can spare a coin, please hit paypal with it! ___________________________________________________ "How was your blind date?" a college student asked her 21 year old roommate. "Terrible!" the roommate answered. "He showed up in his 1932 Rolls Royce." "Wow! That's a very expensive classic car. What's so bad about that?" "He is the original owner." ____________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ Teacher: If you had $1.00 and you asked your father for another,how many dollars would you have. Little Johnny: "I would have $1.00!" Teacher: "You don't know your arithmetic." Little Johnny: "You don't know my father!" ____________________________________________________ >From Billie My sex life is so bad ... that when I called one of those phone sex lines, a voice came on and said, "Not tonight.

Dear Webby ___________________________________________________ >From Vinny One evening while I was preparing dinner, my daughter came into the kitchen asking for homework help on her vocabulary words. "Mom," she asked, "what's a quarter horse?" As I thought of a simple explanation, my five-year-old son piped up, "I know! It's the one they have in front of the grocery store." ______________________________________________________ It was graduation day and Mom was trying to take a picture of their son in a cap and gown, posed with his father. "I want a good picture, so try to make this look natural," she said."Junior, put your arm around your dad's shoulder." The father answered, "If you want it to look natural, why not have him put his hand in my wallet?" ______________________________________________________ If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! _____________________________________________________ Police in Los Angeles had good luck with a robbery suspect who just couldn't control himself during a lineup.

________________________________________________ >From Van While on our honeymoon I informed my new husband, Dear, don't expect the first few meals to be great. It takes time to find the right restaurant. __________________________________________ Last month, down on Lake Isabella, located in the high desert, an hour east of Bakersfield, California, some folks, new to boating, were having a problem. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't get their brand new 22 ft. boat going. It was very sluggish in almost every maneuver, no matter how much power was applied. After about an hour of trying to make it go, they putted to a nearby marina, thinking someone there could tell them what was wrong. A thorough topside check revealed everything in perfect working condition. The engine ran fine, the out drive went up and down, and the prop was the correct size and pitch. So, one of the marina guys jumped in the water to check underneath. He came up choking on water, he was laughing so hard. NOW REMEMBER...THIS IS TRUE Under the boat, still strapped securely in place, was the boat trailer! _______________________________________________ | Ophelia Dingbatter's NewsNo sermon and not suitable for church, just jokes and fun for grownups.
