Today's Bonehead Award: Police make arrest in hit-and-run crash that killed man in wheelchair __________________________________________ A chief and an admiral were sitting in the barber shop. They were both just getting finished with their shaves-- the barbers were reaching for some aftershave to slap on their faces. The admiral shouted, "Hey, don't put that stuff on me! My wife will think I've been in a whorehouse!" The chief turned to his barber and said, "Go ahead and put it on. My wife doesn't know what the inside of a horehouse smells like." __________________________________________ Thanks to Barb for sending me this picture: Smog Over Almaty, Kazakhstan __________________________________________ My boss wanted a "Clean Desk" policy, so he sent a memo saying that any paperwork left on desks would be removed at night and we would have to fill out a form to get it back. So we left all our trash paper on our desks every night. In a week, the boss had an office full of trash, nobody filled out a retrieval form, and we never heard about the policy again. ___________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by Raul Morales, 39, Fresno, California Police make arrest in hit-and-run crash that killed man in wheelchair Fresno police Wednesday reported the arrest of Raul Morales, 38, in connection with a fatal hit-and-run Friday in which a Fresno man in a wheelchair was killed. The arrest took place shortly after 7 p.m. Tuesday night, according to Lt. Mark Hudson. Morales faces charges of felony hit-and-run and vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence. Ronnie Rodriguez, 53, was killed about 6:15 p.m. Friday when he was struck by a four-wheel drive pickup truck on North Brawley Avenue, south of West Weldon Avenue. Acting on a tip, police found the suspect vehicle, a white, extended cab Chevrolet, in the 2000 block of North Hanover Avenue. Detectives observed that Morales was making repairs on the vehicle and took him into custody. DearWebby's Tech Support Pits From: Hermon Re: W7 support mayhem Dear Webby My computer when crazy after I received the notice that Win7 would no longer be supported. Did all win 7 machines do this. My computer became much slower hunting for a program after I clicked on an icon. Chrome completely quit. I donât like windows 10, so donât tell me to get a new machine. Whatâs going on? Hermon in Kentucky Dear Hermon They did screw aound and did do some sabotage, but not the same for everybody. My W7 machine still works fine. Re "no longer supported hoax": They did did not support it before either. Did you ever get any usable and useful support from them? Didn't think so. Nobody else did either. Be careful, though, with all kinds of wacky stuff pretending to be from Microsoft, but actually just a virus from a scammer. Run a good anti-virus program like MallwareBytes or McAfee, and most definitely refuse any "alert" that asks you to download anything. Have FUN!

An anthropologist was assigned to Borneo, where he found a guide with a canoe to take him up the river to the remote site he where he would make his collections. At noon on the second day of travel up the river they began to hear drums. "What are those drums?" asked the anthropologist, knowing he was in cannibal country. The guide turned to him and said "No worry. Drums OK, but very bad when they stop. "They both went ghostly pale when the drums suddenly stopped. The guide crouched in the belly of the canoe and covered his ears. "Do as I do! Very important!" intoned the guide with great urgency. "Why? What does this mean?" asked the panicked anthropologist. "Drums stop! Next come violin solo!" | If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! | |

"Oh Marie," she said to her maid, "I have reason to suspect that my husband is having an affair with his secretary." "I don't believe it for one minute." Marie snapped.

The last two years it was my duty and pleasure to print it and put it up every morning. Because nobody had read the boss's announcements re the long weekend, I was told today that in future all of his announcements be put "right beside the DearWebby Humor Letter, which seems to be the only part of the bulletin board anybody reads". ========= Millie F.======= ____________________________________________ | No sermon and not suitable for church, just jokes and fun for grownups.
