Good Morning, Do! Today is Sunday, June 27 Strawberry bFull Moon is still visible! Gorgeous! ___________________________________________________ If you can spare a coin, PLEASE hit PayPal with it! ___________________________________________________ Chandler Police arrest man for luring undercover detective posing as teen ___________________________________________________ Today, June 27 in 1954 The world's first atomic power station opened at Obninsk, near Moscow. ____________________________________________________ A good listener is not only popular everywhere, but after a while he gets to know something. --- Wilson Mizner (1876 - 1933) ____________________________________________________ Jill: I just don't understand the attraction golf has for men. Mary: TELL me about it! I went golfing with my ex one time, and he told me I asked too many questions! Jill: Well, I'm sure you were just trying to understand the game. What questions did you ask? Mary: I thought I asked legitimate questions..like, "Why did you hit the ball into that lake?" ____________________________________________________ Iceland ____________________________________________________ As an instructor in driver education at the local area High School, I've learned that even the brightest students can become flustered behind the wheel. One day I had three beginners in the car, each scheduled to drive for 30 minutes. When the first student had completed his time, I asked him to change places with one of the others. Gripping the wheel tightly and staring straight ahead, he asked in a shaky voice, "Should I stop the car first?" ----------- Sure is different from when I was a young driver. In those days the old Pick-Ups that youngsters drove, all had a step on the outside of the pick-up box. Especially on Cannonball ralleys or the Alcan 2000 Mile races where we carried a couple of drums of fuel on the back, the spare driver used to climb outside and into the box, siphon gas from a drum into the tank, then climb back into the cab on the drivers side and take over as the driver slid over to the passenger side. That was no big deal then, however, with todays slower but much more crowded traffic I would not recommend stunts like that. Also, standing at the tailgate for getting rid of used coffee into the big dust cloud that you trail when driving a gravel road at 70 miles per hour, was OK then. Doing the same today on a paved freeway would probably get you arrested in most states. ____________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by Charles Ammon Shumway, 32, Mesa, Arizona, USA Chandler Police arrest man for luring undercover detective posing as teen Chandler police have arrested a mesa man who is accused of trying to lure a person he believes to be a 15-year-old girl for sex. According to court documents, 32-year-old charles ammon shumway was arrested at a home near 35th avenue and bell road on june 21. An investigation into shumway began on june 20, when a detective working undercover and posing as a 15-year-old girl online had a conversation with shumway. Investigators say the two exchanged a series of explicit text messages that included a nude photo shumway sent of himself to the undercover detective. The two agreed to meet up, where shumway was arrested. According to court documents, shumway is a repeat offender. He is accused of a count of luring minors for sexual exploitation, which is a felony. DearWebby's tech support pits from: Wendy re: Lost icons in W10 dear webby i'm using windows 10 on my laptop (for my sins!) earlier this week windows did an update and now i've lost all my settings on the left side of my screen there's nothing there, nada, zilch! So, my question is: what can I do to get my settings back? If I have to take it somewhere to get someone to fix it, well, i'll have to do that but i'd like to know if i can do it myself. All my programs were listed on the left side of my screen. Operative word being "were" and now are no longer. Thanks for all the technical help, thanks for all the jokes as both make my morning much more enjoyable. Cheers, wendy lord, put your arm around my shoulders, and your hand over my mouth! dear wendy it is crap like that , which got me to buy a refurb w7 machine. On w7 that does not happen. 2 things im thinking of, either its in tablet mode: settings - system - tablet mode - toggle it off, see if your icons come back. Or, if you right click on the desktop, click view and then make sure show desktop icons is checked off. Let me know if that has helped. Have FUN! DearWebby It was Palm Sunday and, because of strep throat, Sue's four-year-old son had to stay home from church with a baby-sitter. When the family returned home carrying palm branches, he asked what they were for. "People held them over Jesus' head as he walked by," his mother explained. "Wouldn't you know it," the boy fumed. "The one Sunday I didn't go, He showed up!" | If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! | If you like my work,

_____________________________________________ >From Sarah When we were looking to buy property I had this over zealous realtor show us what can only be described as a totally worn- out old farm. I mean the land had just been worked to death. The weeds were hardly even growing. The smiling super salesman said, "Now really, all this land needs is a little water, a nice cool breeze and some good people." I replied, "Yeah, I agree, but couldn't the same be said of Hell?" ___________________________________________ A moment or two after a highway accident, an old Jewish man came up to a woman lying by the roadside. "Have the police come yet?" the man asked. "No," the woman moaned. "Has the ambulance been here yet?" "No," the injured woman repeated. "How about the insurance company?" "No." "Lissen," the Jewish man said, bending down. "Do you mind if I lay down next to you?" ____________________________________________ A couple were vacationing in Yosemite. The wife expressed her concern about camping because of bears and said she would feel more comfortable in a motel. The husband said that he'd like to camp and to calm her concerns, they'd talk to the park ranger to see what the likelihood of a bear encounter would be. The ranger told them, "Well, we haven't seen any grizzlies in this area so far this year, or black bears, for that matter." The wife shrieked, "There's TWO types of bears out here? How can you tell the difference? Which one is more dangerous?" The ranger replied, "Well, that's easy, see, if the bear chases you up the tree and it comes up after you, it's a BLACK bear. If it SHAKES the tree until you fall out, it's a grizzly." The motel room was quite nice. ___________________________________________________ | Ophelia Dingbatter's NewsNo sermon and not suitable for church, just jokes and fun for grownups.
