Good breeding consists of concealing how much we think of ourselves and how little we think of the other person. --- Mark Twain (1835 - 1910), Notebooks (1935) The phrase "action speaks louder than words," is most easily proven by a swift kick to the genitals. --- Devin J.

"Gentlemen, I will tell you the secret of my success," he cackled. "I have been in the open air day after day for some 75 years now." The celebrants were impressed and asked how he managed to keep up his rigorous fitness regime. "Well, you see my wife and I were married 75 years ago. On our wedding night, we made a solemn pledge. Whenever we had a fight, the one who was proved wrong would go outside and take a walk." _____________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ A friend was in front of me coming out of church one day, and as always the preacher was standing at the door shaking hands as the congregation departed. He grabbed my friend by the hand and pulled him aside. The preacher said to him, "You need to join the Army of the Lord!" My friend replied, "I'm already in the Army of the Lord, Preacher." The preacher questioned, "How come I don't see you except for weddings and Easter?" He whispered back, "I'm in the secret service." ______________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________ If you like the Humor Letter, please vote!

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation says 27-year-old Daylon Delon Gamble was arrested Sunday in Indiana by the US Marshal's Service. Gamble, who was wanted on four charges of murder in the shootings Thursday night in Rockmart, about 45 miles northwest of Atlanta, was taken into custody without incident, according to a GBI news release posted on their Facebook page. Authorities say 48-year-old Helen Rose Mitchell and 19-year-old Jaequnn Davis died at one home, and 24-year-old Arkeyla Perry and 26-year-old Dadrian Cummings died at another home, the AP reports. The GBI says 24-year-old Peerless Brown was injured at the home where Mitchell and Davis were killed. Authorities have not disclosed a motive or Gamble's relationship to the victims, though they say the killings were not random. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that Gamble was paroled from state prison in 2016 after a 2011 conviction for armed robbery and burglary. From: Marilla Re: How do I install new fonts? Dear DearWebby, A friend sent me a bunch of new fonts via Skype. How do I install them, so that all programs can use them? Thanks Marilla Dear Marilla click on Start, Run, and type in there c:\windows\fonts To confuse you, Windows now opens an old style explorer window. Don't let that stop you! Click on File In there you see an option called: Install new fonts When you click that, you get the option to browse to the folder where you keep the stuff you get via Skype. It ignores all other files and just shows you the fonts that you have in that folder. Highlight the ones you want to install and hit OK. That's all there is to it. Have FUN! DearWebby Automatically move ALL your settings and programs. No need to re-install them. The only mover recommended by Intel and Microsoft. After the egg hunt on Easter Sunday, the young farm boy decided to play a prank. He went to the chicken coop and replaced every single egg with a brightly colored one. A few minutes later the rooster walked in saw all the colored eggs, then storms outside and beats the crap out of the peacock. | If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! | |
A little boy was roughhousing with his dog. His mother said to him, "Now, Peter, I know you love Granger, but you're loving him too much. How would you feel if someone huge picked you up and squeezed you so hard you couldn't breathe?" The boy thought a moment and then said, "I guess I'd feel like it was Easter and Aunt Doreen was here!" ___________________________________________________ Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com Thriftyfun.com Buying Headphones When buying headphones, consider how they feel in your ears. If they aren't comfortable, you won't want to use them in the first place. Be sure to ask the store manager if the ear phones can be returned if you try them out and they are too uncomfortable.

Since his operation had been an intestinal one, there was no earthly reason why he should be complaining of a headache. Finally his nurse, fearing that the man might be suffering from some post operation shock, spoke to the doctor about it. "Don't worry about a thing, nurse," the doctor assured her. "He really does have a bump on his head. About halfway through the operation we ran out of anesthetic." ___________________________________________________ Sign in the cafeteria: Shoes are required to eat in the cafeteria.
