"After you have fitted the customer's glasses," he said, "and he asks you what the charge will be, you say, '$200.' Then see if he winces." "If the customer doesn't wince you say, 'For the frames. The lenses will be another $200.'" "If he still doesn't wince you say firmly, 'Each.'" ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ A plumber attended to a leaking faucet at the neurosurgeon's house. After a two-minute job, he demanded $150. The neurosurgeon exclaimed, "I don't even charge that amount and I am a brain surgeon." The plumber replied, "I agree. You are right! I didn't either, when I was a surgeon. That's why I switched to plumbing." ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ If you like the Dear Webby Daily Humor Letter, please vote for it at the Ezine Finder: Thanks for your votes! ______________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by Cody Dwayne Hynum, 30, Highlands, Texas Texan jailed in Florida after stealing two vehicles and a patrol car A vehicle fire on Interstate 10 in Walton County leads to an unprecedented chain of events including two stolen vehicles and a handcuffed suspect stealing a patrol car. Friday morning at approximately 9:50am Walton County Sheriffs Deputies responded to a vehicle fire near mile marker 85 on I-10. After the fire was extinguished it was discovered the vehicle was stolen out of DeFuniak Springs and was purposely set on fire following the crash. Shortly after, a citizen notices a man sitting in his Jeep attempting to steal it at a home on Bob Sikes Road. The citizen detained the suspect, holding him at gunpoint until deputies arrived. The suspect, identified as Cody Dwayne Hynum, 30, was cuffed and put in the back of a patrol car. Following his arrest it was determined Hynum had also burglarized a carport and stolen a Ford pickup truck, which was disabled in the area. While deputies were working both crime scenes Hynum kicked out the rear drivers side window and, still cuffed, was able to get out of the vehicle and gain access to the drivers seat. The suspect fled the area and driving with his knees and chin drove down Woodyard Road. Hynum then hit a private citizens fence, drove down a driveway and struck a barrier at the end of the driveway. The suspect fled from the patrol vehicle into the woods and was tased and apprehended by deputies after a short foot pursuit. Hynum was charged with escape, two counts of grand theft auto with damages over $1,000, two counts of burglary, larceny over a $1,000, criminal mischief over $1,000, resisting arrest with violence, and fleeing and eluding. He was taken to a local hospital to be evaluated and later booked into the Walton County Jail. Additional charges may be added. ______________________________________________________ Tech Support Pits From: Jae Re: Name in the jokes Dear Webby My name as you know is Jae. I love your humor letter a lot, i subscribed because my dad had been subscribed ages ago and would tell us some of the jokes you had. One day i decided i just had to get in on this and subscribed. I have not been dissapointed yet. I love the pictures that get included and all the jokes are just epic (although we have to agree that the bonehead award winners are the biggest joke of all). One of my favourite things about it is you use my name in it a couple of times so i love that a lot. Sorry for a long email but just wanted to say thank you and to tell you that everyday you bring a smile to a one legged boy who really needs to smile every now and then. Jae Dear Jae Good for you! That shows you are one of the smart ones. Unfortunately about 10 % of the subscribers did not put their first or nickname into the First Name slot, left it blank or put their full name ito it. A joke falls flat if the name is missing, or if the hero in the joke is Mrs Ernerstine Heather Slivowitz-Brownbottom III I use the same code as with the greeting at the top. There is no way to edit that for thousands every day. If your subscription does not have the correct first name or nickname, hit REPLY and type the correct first name or nickname, that you want to see in the Good Morning greeting at the top. I will edit your subscription. No need to unsubscribe and re-subscribe. Have FUN! DearWebby Thanks to Diana for this story: While sports fishing off the Florida coast, a tourist capsized his boat. He could swim, but his fear of alligators kept him clinging to the overturned craft. Spotting an old beachcomber standing on the shore, the tourist shouted, "Are there any gators around here?" "Naw," the man hollered back, "they ain't been around for years!" Feeling safe, the tourist started swimming leisurely toward the shore. About halfway there he asked the guy, "How'd you get rid of the gators?" "We didn't do nothin'," the beachcomber said. "The sharks got 'em." | If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! | |

Thanks to Jimmie for this story: In search of a new shower for our home, my wife and I went to a bathroom-supply store. We discussed our needs with a young saleswoman. Since it was near closing time, we had to curtail our discussion and made plans to come back the next day to make our final decision. Later that evening, my wife and I were at a restaurant, where the same young lady from the bathroom-supply store was now working a shift as a waitress. As she passed our table, she suddenly recognized us and called to me in a loud voice, "HEY! YOU'RE THE MAN WHO NEEDS A SHOWER!" Ophelia Dingbatter's News
