The doctor examined him and said, "You're in remarkably good condition for a man of 85. Why are you here?" Sam replied, "My friend Max says he has sex twice a week. I can't do that." The doctor shrugged. "Yes you can. You can certainly SAY you have sex as many times a week as you like." ___________________________________________________ If you can spare a coin, PLEASE hit PayPal with it! ___________________________________________________ One afternoon, two doctors from India were having an animated discussion. "I say it's spelled 'W-H-O-O-M'," said the first Indian doctor. "No, it is 'W-H-O-M-B'," said the other Indian doctor. An American nurse passing by said, "Excuse me, you are both wrong. It is spelled 'W-O-M-B'." "Thank you nurse," said one of the doctors, "but we prefer to settle this argument ourselves. Besides, we don't think you are in a position to describe the sound of an elephant passing wind under water." ____________________________________________________   ___________________________________________________ Thousands of UK men are getting the brush-off when women they are interested in hand them their phone number as 01279 633 452 which when called tells the hapless Romeos, "The person you are calling was obviously not interested.

"I dreamed I was on vacation," one man said fondly. "It was just me and my fishing rod and this big beautiful lake. What a dream." "I had a great dream too," said the other. "I dreamed I was in bed with two beautiful women and having the time of my life." His companion looked over and exhorted, "You dreamed you had two beautiful women, and you didn't call me?" "Oh, I did," said the other, "but when I called, your wife said you'd gone fishing." ___________________________________________________ Reported by Rock An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  Vincent Jean, 56, Elizabeth, N.J., USA  NJ man ran over woman twice in horrific road rage incident  Horrific road rage attack A motorist is charged with attempted murder for repeatedly driving over a woman after a fender bender. Video from a home security camera shows a car driving onto a sidewalk and then across a lawn as the victim tried to run away. A New Jersey man faces multiple charges after he allegedly ran over a woman, repeatedly, when she attempted to take pictures of his vehicle following a collision. According to the Union County Prosecutor's Office, Vincent Jean, 56, of Elizabeth, was driving a Mitsubishi SUV on Tuesday at about 8:30 a.m. when it collided with a 23-year- old woman's vehicle in the area of Salem Avenue and Aberdeen Road in Elizabeth. Witnesses told prosecutors that Jean attempted to flee the scene and the woman, who was standing on the sidewalk, began taking photos of his car in order to be able to identify him to the police. That's when Jean drove directly at the woman who ran onto a lawn. Jean then drove onto the lawn and struck the woman, backed up, and ran over her a second time, said prosecutors. The Union County Prosecutor's Office says Vincent Jean, of Elizabeth, drove over a woman twice before fleeing following a collision. Police responded to a 911 call about the injured woman and found her lying on the lawn with severe injuries. Jean fled the scene but was found sitting in his car parked on Jefferson Avenue. The SUV was visibly damaged, added police. The victim was rushed to University Hospital in critical condition. Her family issued the following statement Thursday: "The family would like to express its gratitude for the expedient response to this incident by the Union County Prosecutor's Office, the Elizabeth Police Department, EMS workers as well as Elizabeth Mayor, Chris Bollwage. We also want to thank the citizens of Elizabeth for their aid and support, especially the school bus driver who intervened and the neighbor who provided the security camera footage of this horrific crime. "We want to be clear that this was not the result of any domestic dispute. This man was a complete stranger who committed a heinous act of road rage and attempted to kill our daughter simply because she was trying to get necessary information to lawfully report an accident while he was fleeing the scene. Although we are heartbroken and deeply saddened by what happened, we are thankful that our daughter is alive. We are now focused on her care and recovery and will rely on the law enforcement professionals and the court system to dispense justice. We appreciate the outpouring of love and support but we ask that you respect our family's privacy during this time." Jean was charged with first-degree attempted murder, second-degree aggravated assault, third-degree aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, third-degree assault by auto, third-degree leaving the scene of a motor vehicle accident with serious bodily injury, third-degree endangering an injured victim and third-degree possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose. He is held at the Union County jail pending a court appearance. He won't be driving again in the foreseeable future, and he can write off that car.  ____________________________________________________ If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! ______________________________________________________  DearWebby's Tech Support Pits From: Neil Re: How to Search Text in Multiple Word Files Dear Webby You CAN do it with some tools!

 A large crowd gathered at an accident on Main street. A newspaper reporter, anxious to get his story, could not get near the car. Being a clever sort, he started shouting loudly, "Let me through! Let me through! I am the son of the victim." The crowd parted and made way for him. Lying in front of the car, was a dead monkey. ___________________________________________________
