Phoenix police say they were conducting a drug investigation in the area of 27th Avenue and Bethany Home Road Wednesday based on information that a drug sale was to take place. According to a police report, officers recognized 20-year- old Alexa Magana from a previous traffic stop earlier in June. She told officers during that stop that she didn't have drugs on her then, but she had delivered fentanyl pills for the cartel and recently quit. Magana called an undercover police officer Wednesday and the officer directed her to a fast food restaurant where she was taken into custody. Magana reportedly told police she had a duffel bag in her back seat with 125,000 fentanyl pills in it, along with a spare tire in the trunk that was also carrying fentanyl. Court records indicate police got a search warrant and found a total of about 166,000 fentanyl pills, along with about $2,000 in cash. Magana is facing drug transportation and possession charges. __________________________________________________ In a high school gym class, all the girls are lined up against one wall, and all the boys against the opposite wall.

I can't find it anymore. How do I send a file to my home address or to a friend? Tks Kathy Dear Kathy Yes, I have noticed that too. Just click onto the page and then onto the URL line. It will change to the "Selected" color. CTRL C to copy Jump to your email program and enter the recipient email address, then put a reasonably descriptive phrase into the subject line, tab down to the body, and hit CTRL V to paste the URL. SEND when you or anybody receives that email, it will have that URL in clickable format. Slightly different procedure, but it works well. Have FUN!

The preacher went to the congregation and asked for a raise. After much consideration and discussion, they passed a rule that whenever the preacher's family expanded, so would his paycheck. After 6 children, this started to get expensive and the congregation decided to hold another meeting to discuss the preacher's pay. There was much yelling and bickering about how much the clergy- man's additional children were costing the church. Finally, the preacher got up and spoke to the crowd, "having children is an "act of God!" Silence fell on the congregation. In the back of the room, a little old man stood up and in his frail voice said: "Snow and rain are also acts of God, but when we get too much, we wear rubbers." ____________________________________________ God the Computer Programmer. You know, many important theological questions are answered if we think of God as a Computer Programmer. Q: Does God control everything that happens in my life? A: He could, if he used the debugger, but it's tedious to step through all those variables. Q: Why does God allow evil to happen? A: God thought he eliminated evil in one of the earlier versions. Q: What causes God to intervene in earthly affairs? A: If a critical error occurs, the system pages him automatically and he logs on from home to try to bring it up. Otherwise things can wait until tomorrow. Q: Did God really create the world in seven days? A: He did it in six days and nights while living on cola and candy bars. On the seventh day he went home and found out his girlfriend had left him. Q: How come the Age of Miracles Ended? A: That was the development phase of the project, now we are in the maintenance phase. Q: Who is Satan? A: Satan is a MIS director who takes credit for more powers than he actually possesses, so people who aren't programmers are scared of him. God thinks of him as irritating but irrelevant. __________________________________________________ If you can spare a coin, please hit paypal with it! ___________________________________________________ Paul returned from a doctor's visit one day and told his wife Alma that the doctor said he only had 24 hours to live. Wiping away her tears, he asked her to make love with him. Of course she agreed and they made passionate love. Six hours later, Paul went to her again, and said, "Honey, now I only have 18 hours left to live. Maybe we could make love again?" Alma agrees and again they make love. Later, Paul is getting into bed when he realized he now had only eight hours of life left. He touched Alma's shoulder and said, "Honey? Please? Just one more time before I die." She agreed, then afterward she rolled over and fell asleep. Paul, however, heard the clock ticking in his head, and he tossed and turned until he was down to only four more hours. He tapped his wife on the shoulder to wake her up. "Honey, I only have four hours left. Could we...?" His wife sat up abruptly, turned to him and said, "Listen Paul, I have to get up in the morning! You don't." ____________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ A woman walked up to a little old man rocking in a chair on his porch. "I couldn't help noticing how happy you look," she said. "What's your secret for a long happy life?" "I smoke three packs of cigarettes a day," he said. "I also drink a case of whiskey a week, eat fatty foods, and never exercise." "That's amazing," the woman said. "How old are you?' "Twenty-six!" he said. _____________________________________________________ The efficiency expert concluded his lecture with a note of caution: "I should warn you. . .you may not want to try these techniques at home." "Why not?" asked someone from the back of the audience. "Well, I speak from personal experience," the expert explained. "For years, I watched my wife's routine at breakfast. She made lots of trips to the refrigerator, stove, table and cabinets, often carrying just a single item at a time. "So finally one day I made a suggestion: 'Hon,' I said, 'Why don't you try carrying several things at once?'" The voice from the back persisted, "And didn't that save time?" The expert replied, "Actually, yes. It used to take her 20 minutes to get breakfast ready. Now I do it in seven." ______________________________________________________ If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can!

He knocked. The Innkeeper's wife stuck her head out a window. "Could ye spare some victuals?" he asked. The woman glanced at his shabby clothes and obviously poor condition. "No!" she said rather sternly. "Could I have a pint of ale?" "No!" she said again. "Could I at least sleep in your stable?" "No!" by this time she was fairly shouting. The vagabond said, "Might I please...?" "What now?" the woman interrupted impatiently.
