The salesmen shows him a selection, and the man picks out one that he likes. "How much is this one?" he asks the salesman. "Sixty-five dollars." "What?" he says. "I can buy a pair of shoes with that kind of money." "Maybe," says the salesman, "but while shoes around the neck look OK with beach war, they woud clash with that fancy suit." ____________________________________________________ Reported by Rock An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by Guadalupe Gonzalez, 36, San Joaquin, Fresno, California, USA Fresno serial rapist arrested "What this was is a consensual encounter that turned into a horrendous, horrible rape," says Lt. Brandon Purcell with the Fresno County Sheriff's Office. The Fresno County Sheriff's Office says it all started with an online encounter. 36-year-old Guadalupe Gonzalez and a woman agreed to meet at an apartment in San Joaquin with the intention of going on a date. But officials say the night took a turn when Gonzalez took her phone, held her at gunpoint and then forcibly raped her. Investigators say he then ordered her into his two-door tan Chevy Tahoe and drove her to a rural part of Fresno County, where he forcibly raped her again. Gonzales allegedly threw her phone into an orchard and drove away. The woman was able to call a friend to get a ride home and went to the hospital, where authorities were contacted. It wasn't long before investigators say they were able to tie Gonzales to two unsolved rape cases from 2017 and 2019 "He would meet them consensually," Lt. Purcell said. "He would have conversations with them and then the real person that they were meeting with would start to surface. That predator would come out. That rapist would come out. He has shown signs of violence and he is escalating his violence." Now, authorities believe there could be other rape victims assaulted by the same suspect who have yet to come forward. Gonzalez is 5'7", 225 pounds and has tattoos on his arm and hand. "We really want to plead to our victims to please reach out," Lt. Purcell said. "We have people that are going to be understanding of your situation. We need help to make sure this man is put away and doesn't come back onto the streets to victimize any more women." ____________________________________________________ If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! ______________________________________________________ From: Danielle Re: Sort Gmail by size Dear Webby Dr Moe mentioned that he sorts Gmail by size and first gets rid of all the lame blabber. That makes perfect sense to me. I never listen to that anyway, especially since my grand daughter confiscated my speakers a couple of years ago. Truth to tell, I never listened to the blabber anyway. I would still like to get rid of big files innthe mail. Danielle Dear Danielle In Gmail go to the Search Mail bar and click the dropdown arrow to open the filter options.

His mother said to him, "Now, Peter, I know you love Wowser, but you're loving him too much. How would you feel if someone huge picked you up and squeezed you so hard you couldn't breathe?" The boy thought a moment and then said, "I guess I'd feel like it was my birthday and Aunt Doreen was here!" | If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! | If you like my work,

After a while I ducked into the restroom to sprinkle the old porcelain. While I was in there, this big guy came in and said to me, "Hey you! I'm Afghan and I don't like you telling all those Afghani jokes!" So I said, "Well, they're not against you, pal, just against Talibans." "My mother is in Afghanistan!" He screams, and pulls out a razor. For a moment there I was quite concerned. I wasn't sure what he would have done if he had found a place to plug it in!!! ______________________________________________ | Ophelia Dingbatter's NewsNo sermon and not suitable for church, just jokes and fun for grownups.
