Northern California man suspected of driving under the influence spat at police officers when he was being taken into custody Monday evening, according to the Elk Grove Police Department. Investigators say they found 54-year-old John Chandler off Elk Grove Boulevard near Black Swan Drive behind the wheel with the engine running. Chandler showed signs of impairment, police said. As officers took Chandler into custody, officials say he resisted and even tried to spit on officers. Chandler's booking photo shows him bloodied and wide-eyed with his tongue sticking out. KTXL later learned Chandler is a teacher at Martin Luther King, Jr. K-8 School in Sacramento's Pocket neighborhood. Sacramento City Unified School District spokesman Alex Barrios confirmed Chandler's employment at the school: Personnel matters are confidential. We are not at liberty to discuss them publicly. However, the district is treating this situation with the seriousness it deserves. We are listening and sympathetic to the concerns of parents and are working to address those concerns. Chandler was booked into the Sacramento County Main Jail From: Marnie Re: Upside down monitor Dear Webby My daughter and her girlfriend were goofing around on my computer and now the display is upside down. Of course they claim "they didn't do anything", and claim they have no idea why it happened. I use two monitors, and both are affected. Help! Please!

"He comes in the house with muddy feet," she said, "tracks across my clean floors, barks at nothing, growls at his food and makes himself comfortable on my best furniture." | If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! | |
An aspiring young actor asked a young lady's father if he could have his daughter's hand in marriage. The father said, "I would never let my daughter marry an actor." The actor said, "Sir, I think you may change your mind if you see me perform. Won't you at least come and see the play?" So the father went to see the play, and the next day he called the actor, "You were right. I did change my mind. Go ahead and marry my daughter. You're no actor. Don't give up your day job just yet!" ___________________________________________________ Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com Thriftyfun.com Keep Pen Ink From Leaking in Your Purse One easy way to prevent pen ink from leaking in your purse or briefcase is to store your pens in a plastic travel toothbrush holder.

Half the money paid the team's expenses and the other half went to the winning ticket holder. One day they held the drawing just as I was stepping up to bat. The home plate umpire pulled the winning ticket, and then turned to me. "Could you read me the number?" he asked. "My vision's not too good." ___________________________________________________ | Ophelia Dingbatter's NewsNo sermon and not suitable for church, just jokes and fun for grownups.

Three aspiring psychiatrists were attending their first class on emotional extremes. "Just to establish some parameters," said the professor to the student from Arkansas, "What is the opposite of joy?" "Sadness," said the student. "And the opposite of depression?" he asked of the young lady from Oklahoma. "Elation," she said. "And you sir," he said to the young man from Texas, "How about the opposite of woe?" The Texan replied, "Sir, I believe that would be giddy up." ___________________________________________________ | Today May 12 in 1588 King Henry III fled Paris after Henry of Guise triumphantly entered the city. 1780 Charleston, South Carolina fell to British forces. 1847 William Clayton invented the odometer. 1870 Manitoba entered the Confederation as a Canadian province. 1881 Tunisia, in North Africa became a French protectorate. 1885 In the Battle of Batoche, French Canadians rebelled against the Canadian government. 1888 Charles Sherrill of the Yale track team became the first runner to use the crouching start for a fast break in a foot race. 1926 The airship Norge became the first vessel to fly over the North Pole. 1926 In Britain, a general strike by trade unions ended.
