___________________________________________________ History: on this day, January 16, in 1988, Jimmy "The Greek" Snyder was fired as a CBS sports commentator one day after telling a TV station in Washington, DC, that, during the era of slavery, blacks had been bred to produce stronger offspring. While true, that was not politically correct according to people, who wanted his job. ____________________________________________________ Bonehead Award: Illegal Immigrant arrested for attempted murder _____________________________________________________ Q In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. --- George Orwell (1903 - 1950) ____________________________________________________ >From Robin Send me as much as you have time to write, please! I have a lot of fun reading and sharing with my friends. I especially had fun with the joke about the 85 year old lady holding up her fist etc......close enough. Great. Thanks a bunch! Robin __________________________________________________ A golf pro was helping this attractive young woman with her swing when his zipper got caught in the rhinestones on the back of her skirt. Needless to say this was embarrassing to both of them since their relationship had been purely platonic, up to that point anyway. They decided to walk together in this lock-step back to the clubhouse where certainly a pair of needle-nosed pliers would fix the problem. Just as they turned the corner to the clubhouse a German Shepherd ran up and threw a bucket of water on them. __________________________________________________ Reported by Rock An International Bonehead Award has been earned by Jesus Alonso Molina Ayala, 21, Boca Raton, Florida, USA Illegal Immigrant arrested for attempted murder A man who crossed the U.S./Mexican Border as a child allegedly stabbed and attempted to kill an Autistic Boca Raton man Wednesday evening. Jesus Alonso Molina Ayala, 21, was arrested and booked into jail early Thursday morning, according to the Boca Raton Police Department. He is known as Alonso. Alonso was allegedly seen stabbing an autistic man who lives in the home where he was staying in the 1400 block of NE 15th Terrace. Alonso came to the United States as a minor approximately six years ago after he crossed the U.S. Mexican border, stated the arrest report obtained by BocaNewsNow.com. Alonso, according to the report, was staying with a family in Boca Raton after having problems with his own family in Atlanta, Georgia. The report says the family in Boca Raton Wednesday night threatened to send Alonso back to Honduras due to his alleged behavioral issues, drug use, and gang affiliation. After being told he would be sent to Honduras, Alonso seemed surprised and mumbled, who said Im going back to Honduras? (The female homeowner) then heard (an Autistic family member) start screaming he is killing me! She looked into the living room and observed Alonso standing behind the family member who was sitting on the couch. Alonso was actively stabbing (the family member) with a large kitchen knife that had a black handle and silver blade. According to police, the victims injuries included a large sharp force wound to the upper left chest area that required sutures to close, a second sharp force wound near the left nipple and a defensive wound to his right middle finger. Alonso fled the home but was almost immediately taken into custody by Boca Raton Police. He is now charged with attempted murder. ___________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ Just think, if it weren't for women, men would go through life thinking they had no faults at all. ___________________________________________________ If you can spare a coin, PLEASE hit PayPal with it! ___________________________________________________ Philipine Pitta _______________________________________________ Re marriage: "My mother says to look for a man who is kind.

Have FUN DearWebby _____________________________________________________ An RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) officer stopped to help a stranded rider standing beside a stalled motorcycle in the Rockies just a bit west of here. It was quite cold for riding a bike at speed, and the rider was heavily dressed in a full face helmet, balaclava and snowmobile suit. In a shivering voice, the rider told the Mountie that the carburetor was frozen. "Well, pee on it," the Mountie said. "Can't," replied the rider. The helpful Mountie took out his own equipment and liberally hosed down the carburetor, and the bike soon fired up. A few days later, the local department received a thank you note from a father, grateful for the roadside assistance his young daughter had received from the RCMP. ____________________________________________________ Today, January 16 in 1547, Ivan the Terrible was crowned Czar of Russia. 1572, The Duke of Norfolk was tried for treason for complicity in the Ridolfi plot to restore Catholicism in England.
