His teacher knew that he was usually very prompt and asked him if anything was wrong. The boy replied no, nothing was wrong, that he was going fishing but his dad told him that he needed to go to church. The teacher was very impressed and asked the boy if his dad had explained to him why it was more important to go to church than to go fishing. The boy replied: "Yes he did. Dad said he didn't have enough bait for both of us." ____________________________________________________ A surgeon came to see his patient on the morning after her operation. The young woman asked him, somewhat hesitantly, how long it would be before she could resume her sex life. "I really haven't thought about it," gulped the stunned surgeon. "You're the first patient who's asked me that question after cosmetic surgery on the nose!" ____________________________________________________ Next month! ____________________________________________________ During their silver anniversary, a wife reminded her husband, "Do you remember when you proposed to me, I was so overwhelmed that I didn't talk for an hour?" The hubby replied, "Yes, honey, that was the happiest hour of my life." ____________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by Michael Caleb Reed, 35, Oildale, California, USA Man arrested after SoCal chase is person of interest in homicide The Kern County Sheriffs Office has confirmed a man arrested following a wild chase through Southern California is a person of interest in a deadly Oildale shooting. Michael Caleb Reed, who was recently featured on Golden Empire Most Wanted for a separate incident, was arrested after crashing into a semi-truck at an intersection in Pomona Tuesday night, about 30 miles east of Los Angeles. The California Highway Patrol had told NBC affiliate KNBC that Reed was a murder suspect during the pursuit. The Riverside County Sheriffs Department said it would release more information about the chase. KCSO describes Reed as a subject of interest for the death of 40-year-old Michael Lewis in March, meaning detectives want to speak with him about the case, however there are currently no plans to bring him to Kern County following his arrest. Lewis friends and family had taken to social media to accuse Reed in the slaying, where Lewis was shot at a home on Harrison Drive on March 28. The US Marshals had profiled Reed earlier this month during an installment of Golden Empire Most Wanted and had confirmed to 17 News that he had been arrested in Pomona after the crash. Days before his arrest, Reed commented on the Facebook post about the story to deny the murder accusations before the Kern County Sheriffs Office had publicly identified him as a person of interest. Lewis family started a GoFundMe page asking for donations to help with his funeral costs, which can be found at this link. Reed has a lengthy criminal history and has had past arrests for rape, burglary, possession of a firearm, and DUI. Last year Reed was arrested following a pursuit in Northern California where a Eureka police officer crashed a patrol car and was injured. DearWebby's Tech Support Pits From: Buzzy Re: Chinese spammers Dear Webby BUZZY: You may find this humorous. My users and I were getting bombarded with spam from an open relay in China at IP number 202.96.14.1. I put the following in my spam block and made their spam bounce back at them with this message: "Thank you, fellow freedom fighter, for your message to the FREE Taiwan Initative." Btw., Look who owns that IP number ! China National Nuclear Corporation country: CN admin-c: GW13-AP tech-c: GW13-AP changed: [email protected] 970226 source: APNIC Kinda scary if the network computers of the China National Nuclear Corporation can be taken over and used by 2-bit spammers. ======Tech Support Pits===== Dear Buzzy Thanks for that! Have FUN! DearWebby I was just visiting some friends who have a farm. I was watching this one rooster chasing after this hen, when the friend's wife came out to feed them. The rooster stopped chasing the hen at once and ran over to begin eating. I just stood there thinking to myself, "I hope I never get THAT hungry." | If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! | If you like my work,

_____________________________________________ Poor Ole was having trouble getting his neighbor to keep his chickens fenced in. The neighbor kept telling him the chickens had the right to go where they wanted. But the birds were ruining Ole's prize-winning flowerbeds. Two weeks later, a friend visited Ole and noticed his flowerbeds were doing great. The flowers were even beginning to bloom! The friend asked, "How did you make your neighbor keep his hens in his own yard?" Ole replied, "Easy! One night I hid a dozen eggs under a bush by my flower bed, and the next day I let my neighbor see me gather them. I haven't been bothered since." ____________________________________________ Bob went to a psychiatrist. "Doc," he said, "I've got trouble. Every time I get into bed, I think there's somebody under it. I get under the bed, I think there's somebody on top of it. Top, under, top, under ... you gotta help me, I'm going crazy!" "Just put yourself in my hands for two years," said the shrink. "Come to me three times a week, and I'll cure your fears." "How much do you charge?" "A hundred dollars per visit." "I'll sleep on it," said Bob. Six months later the doctor met Bob on the street. "Why didn't you ever come to see me again?" asked the psychiatrist. "For a hundred buck's a visit? Three times a week for two years ? I may be crazy but I am not stupid. A bartender cured me for ten dollars." "Is that so! And just how, if I may ask?" "He told me to cut the legs off the bed!" ____________________________________________ You're getting old when...
