Fuming, she asked the class, "Who is responsible for this atrocity?!" The class clown won tremendous prestige among his peers by answering, "I don't know for sure, but it's probably something hereditary." ____________________________________________________ Trudy Marie Northern Saw Whet owl ____________________________________________________ "Do you believe in life after death?" the boss asked one of his employees.

Police found the boy dead on Christmas Day and said his injuries appeared "inconsistent" with her story. The Gwinnett County Police Department said Oluwadamilola Imafiabor faces second-degree murder and second-degree cruelty to children for failing to seek medical attention. Police went to 231 Seasons Parkway in Norcross on Dec. 25 and found the child's body. Imafiabor told police the boy was run over by a truck while playing outside on Dec. 24. She told police the child appeared to be fine at first but died during the night. Police said an autopsy determined the child's injuries did not match the woman's statements to police. Police ask anyone with more information to contact GCPD detectives ____________________________________________________ If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! ______________________________________________________ From: Ariel Re: Open or Libre Office Dear Webby Which one is better, Open Office or Libre Office? Ariel Dear Ariel Both LibreOffice and OpenOffice have six different kinds of documents you can create: A text document, a spreadsheet, a presentation, a drawing, a formula, or a database. Both office suites offer document templates, but LibreOffice provides more built-in, ready-to-use templates than OpenOffice. If you get comfortable with one, then you can easily use the other one too. I have never used their templates, so for me they are practically the same. What is better LibreOffice or OpenOffice? Although both LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice can open and edit native Microsoft formats DOCX and XLSX, only LibreOffice is able to save TO those formats. If you're going to be sharing documents with people using Microsoft Office, LibreOffice might therefore be the better choice. That is important for students because most teachers have been bribed to demand Microsoft Office produced homework. Industry and commerce is the opposite. If you have 500 or 5000 employees, would you pay big money for Microsoft Office or would you tell them to download and use Libre or Open? Personally, I use Libre. Have FUN!

He remarked that he had been compelled to give up skiing, a sport he had enjoyed for many years. "Afraid of injuries?" I asked. "Well, now I am," he responded. "Before I could drag a cast into work and still do my job, but now I'd be messing up my golf game." ______________________________________________ This drunk gets on a bus and asks the driver how long the trip is between Limerick and Cork. "About two hours," says the conductor. "OK," says the drunk "then how long is the trip between Cork and Limerick?" The irate driver says to the drunk "It's still about two hours. Why'd you think there'd be a difference?" "Well," says the drunk, "It's only a week between Christmas and New Year, but it's sure a lot longer between New Year and Christmas!" ______________________________________________ Ophelia Dingbatter's NewsNo sermon and not suitable for church, just jokes and fun for grownups.

Oldest Employee: "Fire me, buster, and I'll hit you with an age discrimination suit so fast it'll make your head spin." ...To which they all turn to look at the helpless young, white, male employee, who thinks a moment, then responds: "I think I might be gay..."
