However, she really worried her folks because all she ever wrote home about was boys and good times. Her mother decided to have a serious talk with Lucy when she came home for a weekend. The mother started out by saying, "Now, dear, if you are only going to college to find a husband, it certainly will be expensive shopping." "Yes, I know, Mom," said Lucy, "but what a supermarket." ____________________________________________________ An angel appears at a faculty meeting and tells the dean that in return for his unselfish and exemplary behavior, the Lord will reward him with his choice of infinite wealth, infinite wisdom, or infinite beauty. Without hesitating, the dean selects infinite wisdom. "Done!" says the angel, and disappears in a cloud of smoke and a bolt of lightning. Now, all heads turn toward the dean, who sits surrounded by a faint halo of light. At length, one of his colleagues whispers, "Say something." The dean sighs and says, "I should have taken the money." ____________________________________________________ From Linda Fjord In Norway ____________________________________________________ A teacher was giving a lesson on the circulation of the blood. Trying to make the matter clearer, he said: "Now, boys, if I stood on my head the blood, as you know, would run into it, and I would turn red in the face." "Yes, sir," the boys said. "Then why is it that while I am standing upright in the ordinary position the blood doesn't run into my feet?" A little fellow shouted, "'Cause yer feet ain't empty." ____________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by Trey Waters, 29, Phoenix, Arizona, USA Phoenix man arrested for series of armed robberies, shooting two people Police say a man has been arrested following a series of armed robberies that took place across Phoenix in April and May. Trey Waters, 29, is accused of being involved in three robberies that ended with two of the victims being shot in the past month. Both shooting victims are still in the hospital with serious injuries. The incidents happened on April 12, April 25 and May 9. In the first case, Waters allegedly entered a motel room near the I-10 and 51st Avenue while a couple were inside, demanding their property. Waters then pistol-whipped the male victim in the face and shot him in the neck. He then tied the woman up before leaving, police say. Investigators analyzed surveillance footage of the area and noticed a red Chevy Camaro with dark tinted windows and chrome wheels, but only the first letter and last number of the license plate could be read. "Our robbery detective shared that information with patrol, and one of our patrol sergeants actually saw a vehicle matching that description and was able to obtain some license plate information that led us to the suspect in this case," said Phoenix Police Sergeant Ann Justus. Detectives learned the car was registered to a woman who was later identified as Waters' sister. In the second case, he reportedly robbed an ice cream truck driver at gunpoint near South Mountain Avenue and 24th Street. Police believe he struck the driver on the head with a gun before robbing $1,000, a cell phone and a Mexican passport from him. The third incident happened near 40th Street and Southern Avenue last Sunday, where Waters is accused of shooting a cashier at a store three times during an attempted robbery. Waters was taken into custody near Central and Sunland Avenue on May 10 and faces numerous charges of attempted murder, aggravated assault, armed robbery and kidnapping. His bond has been set to $100,000. DearWebby's Tech Support Pits FROM: McCauley RE: Virus Alerts Dear Webby I get asked all the time if some supposed virus warning was serious. A while ago you had a link to the official virus hoax site. Can you please show that link again ? Also, how can one recognize a hoax without checking the official hoax site? Thanks C.McCauley Dear C You don't need to waste time with an official hoax site. If the email claims that Microsoft, AOL, IBM, etc. "announced" about a virus, then it is phony. If the email asks you to forward it to all your contacts, then it is phony. Real threats are caught automatically by MalwareBytes. No email alert is required. It updates on it's own in the background. Have FUN! DearWebby You are 100% Texan if you have ever had this conversation : "You wanna Coke?" "Yeah." "What kind?" "Dr. Pepper." | If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! | If you like my work,
