Today's Bonehead Award: Three children were removed from a home after allegations of child abuse. Then, investigators found skeletal remains __________________________________________ ================= Since we use your Humor letter in our English class it is not such a boring and difficult class any more. Before the teacher started printing the Humor Letter every day, English was like a mathematical puzzle with new rules every day. Now it is fun. Thank you very much ======Ricardo====== One day in the Garden of Eden, Eve calls out to God, "Lord, I have a problem!" "What's the problem, Eve?" "Lord, I know you've created me and have provided this beautiful garden and all of these wonderful animals, and that hilarious comedic snake, but I'm just not happy." "Why is that, Eve?" came the reply from above. "Lord, I am lonely. And I'm sick to death of apples." "Well, Eve, in that case, I have a solution. I shall create a man for you." "What's a 'man', Lord?" "This man will be a flawed creature, with many bad traits. He'll lie, cheat, and be vainglorious; all in all, he'll give you a hard time. But, he'll be bigger, faster, and will like to hunt and kill things. He will provide you with companionship and satisfy your desires. Yet, he'll be witless and will revel in childish things like fighting and kicking a ball about. He won't be too smart, so he'll also need your advice to think properly." "Sounds great," says Eve, with an ironically raised eyebrow. "What's the catch, Lord?" "As I said, he'll be proud, arrogant, and self-admiring. . So you'll have to let him believe that I made him first. . So, just remember: it's our secret. Woman to Woman." __________________________________________ Thanks to Jean for sendinbg me this picture: Bearnap-L.jpg ____________________________________________________ If you like the Humor Letter, please vote!

Then, investigators found skeletal remains In the wake of the discovery of skeletal remains inside a west Phoenix house, police have arrested a couple whose three children were taken from that home by the Department of Child Safety amid allegations of child abuse. The father was employed as a teacher's aide at a high school. The parents of the children, identified by police as 56- year-old Rafael Loera and 50-year-old Maribel Loera, have been arrested and face a variety of charges. "Investigators learned that Rafael and Maribel Loera were responsible for the fire and abuse of the young victims," Sgt. Maggie Cox of the Phoenix Police Department said Wednesday afternoon. Earlier in the day Cox outlined the situation, explaining that this started when officers responded to the home near 59th Avenue and Camelback Road on Jan. 20 for a welfare check. An 11-year-old girl called police saying she was home alone. Officers found evidence of child abuse, and the child was taken into DCS custody. Cox said one hour later, the Phoenix Fire Department responded for a call of smoke coming from the house. Firefighters entered the home and found human skeletal remains. Detectives were called to the scene to investigate. The Phoenix Fire Department's investigation task force believes the fire was set intentionally. Police say Rafael Loera has been booked into the Fourth Avenue Jail on suspicion of concealing human body parts, endangerment, child abuse and arson. Maribel Loera faces child abuse charges. During Rafael's hearing, blame of abuse was shifted to his wife. "He is alleged to have done nothing to prevent abuse of the victims," stated the prosecutor. "Although he allegedly admitted that he knew it was happening and admitted that he left the victims in the care of the co- suspect knowing the abuse that was happening. He also admitted to hiding a corpse to hide alleged guilt of him and the co-suspect. He admitted to setting fire yesterday to end his own life and to burn his home down."

____________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ One day, an young lady is walking through a park when she hears a faint "help me, help me". She looks around and follows the quiet voice to a bush near the path. Looking under the bush she spies a little green frog trapped under a log. The girl moves the log and picks up the frog. "Oh, thank you, thank you" says the frog, "Take me home and put me on your pillow and in the morning I'll be a handsome Prince." So the girl takes the frog home and puts him on the pillow and there in the morning is a handsome young guy. Do, do you believe that? Her mother didn't either. ___________________________________________________ The bank robbers arrived just before closing and promptly ordered the few remaining depositors, the tellers, clerks, and guards to disrobe and lie face down on the floor, behind the counter. One woman pulled off her clothes and lay down on the floor facing upwards. "Turn over, Kim," whispered the girl lying beside her. "This is a stick-up, not an office party!" ___________________________________________________ A man was brought to Mercy Hospital, and went in for coronary surgery. The operation went well, and as the groggy man regained consciousness, he was reassured by a Sister of Mercy waiting by his bed. "Mr. Smith, you're going to be just fine," the nun said while patting his hand. "We do have to know, however, how you intend to pay for your stay here. Are you covered by insurance?" "No, I'm not," the man whispered hoarsely. "Can you pay in cash?" "I'm afraid I can't, Sister." "Do you have any close relatives, then?" "Just my sister in New Mexico," replied, "but she's a spinster nun." "Nuns are not spinsters, Mr. Smith," the nun replied. "They are married to God." "Okay," the man said with a smile, "in that case, send the bill to my brother-in-law." __________________________________________________ | No sermon and not suitable for church, just jokes and fun for grownups.
