Inside of a dog it's too dark to read. --- Groucho Marx (1890 - 1977) You need only reflect that one of the best ways to get yourself a reputation as a dangerous citizen these days is to go about repeating the very phrases which our founding fathers used in the struggle for independence. --- Charles Austin Beard (1874 - 1948) ____________________________________________________ An expectant mother was being rushed to the hospital, but didn't quite make it. Assisted by the cab driver, she gave birth to her baby on the hospital lawn. Later, the father received a bill, listing "Delivery Room Fee: $500." He wrote the hospital and reminded them the baby was born on the front lawn. A week passed, and a corrected bill arrived: "Greens Fee: $200." ____________________________________________________ Mom on dragon Owl waking up ____________________________________________________ Thanks to Roland for this one: I was on vacation, playing the slot machines. It was my first time in a casino, and I wasn't sure how the machines operated. "Excuse me." I said to a casino employee. "How does this work?" The worker showed me how to insert a bill, hit the spin button, and operate the release handle. "And where does the money come out?" I asked. He smiled and motioned to a far wall before saying, "Usually at the ATM." ____________________________________________________ Reported by Rock An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by Justin Stricklin, 37, Gainesville, Texas, USA X-Ray Tech Uses Job to Sexually Assault Children = 50 years, no parole. Collin County District Attorney Greg Willis announced that Justin Stricklin, 37, of Gainesville, Texas, was sentenced by a jury to 50 years in prison after that jury found him guilty of Continuous Sexual Abuse of a Child. This predator exploited privacy and safety protocols to do terrible things to innocent children. And now he will spend the next 50 years in prison facing the consequences, said Willis after sentencing. Stricklin had access to the victims through his job as an X- ray technician at Envision Imaging in Allen, Texas. Stricklin sexually abused young children while administering their X- rays in a room away from their parents. One of the children, who was eight years old, immediately out-cried to her mother who reported it to the police. Envision placed Stricklin on administrative leave. Just three months later, while the investigation was still pending, Stricklin was placed back on active status with no restrictions. A few months later, Stricklin sexually abused another victim, who was 11 years old. The child immediately out-cried to her mother, who also reported it to the police. Allen Police Department investigated the case. The children were forensically interviewed at the Childrens Advocacy Center of Collin County and disclosed details about the sexual abuse. Judge Don Adams presided over the jury trial. During the trials punishment phase, prosecutors introduced evidence of another victim Stricklin sexually abused while administering an X-ray when she was 11 years old. The jury assessed punishment at 50 years in prison. By law, a sentence for Continuous Sexual Abuse of a Child is without eligibility for parole. ____________________________________________________ If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! ______________________________________________________ From: Dolores Re: Verify email Dear Webby, I keep getting mails, supposedly from my own email address, That I should click on a link to verify my email address. Sounds phony to me. Is it? Dolores Dear Dolores Yes, it is phony indeed. Whenever you get any mail, that pretends to be from your email address, then you KNOW it is phony. They keep raiding Yahoo and AOL/Verizon and stealing all the email addresses. As you probably know, half or more of the Yahoo and AOL addresses are duds, because people moved up. So the scammers ar trying to eliminate the dead ones from their spam database and send their spam to only those, who show they are alive by clicking on the Verify link. Don't click on it, just delete it. If you have MailWasher, then you can easily make a filter to dump mail, that is pretending to be from you, into hell, automatically, unseen. Have FUN!
