"Entschuldigung, koennen Sie Deutsch sprechen?" he asks. The two Americans just stare at him. "Excusez-moi, parlez vous Francais?" he tries. The two continue to stare. "Parlare Italiano?" No response. "Hablan ustedes Espanol?" Still nothing. The Swiss guy drives off, extremely disgusted. The first American turns to the second and says, "Y'know, maybe we should learn a foreign language." "Why?" says the other. "That guy knew four languages, and it didn't do him any good." _____________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ April teaches at many athletic clubs around town. As such, she gets to work out quite a bit and is in absolutely gorgeous physical shape. She's a beautiful woman to begin with, and so it's not surprising some of the guys who work at these clubs are smitten with her. One young stud didn't have the courage to approach her directly. He instead got another club co-worker to see if April might be "available." The girl came up to April and said, "So, like, do you have a boyfriend?" April said, "I live with someone." The girl nodded her head and without missing a beat said, "Is it, like, serious?" _________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by Micah Fleming, 29, Wichita, Kansas, USA Arrest made in overnight incident in Wichita WPD arrested 29-year-old Micah Fleming of Wichita on three counts of aggravated battery domestic violence (DV), four counts of aggravated assault of a law enforcement officer, one count of battery of a police animal, and a Kansas Department of Corrections (KDOC) absconder warrant. At approximately 11:20 p.m. Saturday, officers were called to a disturbance with a gun at a home in the 9000 block of East Funston. They were advised that Fleming was making threats, damaging property, and was possibly armed with a gun. When officers arrived, they discovered that Fleming did not live at the home and was not only wanted on two previous felony DV cases, but was an absconder through KDOC as well. A WPD negotiator who was on-duty responded and attempted multiple times to communicate with Fleming, but the attempts were fruitless. Fleming pointed a firearm at officers who were outside attempting to communicate with him. After Fleming was arrested, the firearm was determined to be a C02 powered air gun. The WPD Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team and additional negotiators were requested to assist. Additional WPD SWAT negotiators arrived on the scene and tried for several hours to communicate with him, but the attempts were unsuccessful. WPD SWAT and K9 team made entry into the basement located Fleming and arrested him at approximately 5:30 a.m. Fleming sustained minor injuries from a dog bite and a Taser deployment. No officers were injured. The investigation is ongoing, and the case will be presented to the Sedgwick County District Attorneys Office. Additionally, Fleming has previous felony convictions and recently absconded from KDOC parole. "Absconded from parole" means no more bail. DearWebby's Tech Support Pits From: Mary E. RE: Telemarketers Dear Webby, I always run these type of things through the Virus or Urban legends site, but I didn't find this one. Do you know if it's true. I'm afraid to sign on to something that might just put me on more lists! Subject: annoying telemarketers I don't know about you all, but I am appalled about the number of annoying telemarketing calls that I'm getting at home these days. I just found out that the government will be developing a "no call" list this summer. Want to get on it? Go to this website: nocall.doj.state.ca.us Mary E. Dear Mary Your government won't do anything to protect you from telemarketers. Just look at the call display. If it is not a number you recognize, then just ignore it. If it lists a state or town, ignore it. Don't even pick it up, because that shows them that the number is active. Just ignore the skunks. Some of them now fake a number close to yours. When you see that, grab your squeaky duck before you pick uo the phone. If it is a neighbor, no problem, but if it is a teleskunk, then let Squeaky squeak at them, full volume. Remember, YOU are paying the phone bill, not the skunks. You don't owe them anything! Have FUN!

"I'm sure he'll understand when you tell him about all the bargains you found," the hostess replied. "Normally, yes," the lady said. "But he just broke his leg, and he's waiting for me to take him to the hospital to have it set." ____________________________________________ Ophelia Dingbatter's NewsNo sermon and not suitable for church, just jokes and fun for grownups.
