The father listened to the dog and the violin as long as he could. Then he jumped up, and yelled above the noise, "For Pete's sake, can't you play something the dog doesn't know?!" ____________________________________________________ Reported by Rock An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by Carolina Vizcarra, 33, Miami, Florida, USA Police arrest mother for abandoning toddler at Miami hospital Authorities in South Florida say they have arrested a mother accused of abandoning her young daughter at a hospital, leaving the little girl with a stranger. Miami police said 33-year-old Carolina Vizcarra left the toddler, who appears to be about 2 years old, with a man at Mercy Hospital on Tuesday. She told the man she had to go to the restroom, but never came back for the child. "She hands off the child to this unknown man," spokeswoman Kaina Fallat told news outlets. "Luckily he was a police officer and what was going through his mind was, he went into police mode." Fallat said the officer immediately called for help when he realized the woman wasn't returning for her. The Florida Department of Children and Families took custody of the girl, Fallat said. Police posted the child's image on social media to ask for the public's help to locate her parents. Detectives arrested Vizcarra Wednesday morning. WSVN reports that after being taken into custody, Vizcarra told police, "Its not like I just left her. Its a hospital, and I was worried for her. I was thinking about sleeping on the streets but not her." "We want to know what her mental state was," Fallat said. "We want to know what she was thinking when she was handing off her child to this unknown man." Floridas Safe Harbor law protects parents who leave children in a designated safe space, but only if theyre babies up to seven days old. Vizcarra is charged with child abandonment and is expected to appear in court later Wednesday afternoon. Her bond has been set at $5,000. ____________________________________________________ If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! ______________________________________________________ From: Glenda Re: Beetle Dear Webby, Where is Beetle Baily nowadays?

I got out and had the donkey stick its head under the bumper and lift the truck.A passing farmer asked, "Hey, that's a pretty clever trick. How did you teach your donkey to lift the truck?" I replied, "Its a simple matter of the breed; this is a jack ass!" ______________________________________________ Also from the news: Christina Coles, 21, of the UK has been given the right to sue for damages claiming that a car accident she was involved in had made her pregnant. How could this be? She says the crash made her forget to take her birth control pill. She originally wanted to sue for $750,000 but the court cut it down to about $185,000, claiming the accident was partly her fault.

The company psychiatrist was interviewing Nancy. As she sat in the chair, the psychiatrist asked a series of questions to determine if she was emotionally suitable for the company. Things were not not going well for Nancy. The psychiatrist decided to try a new approach, to give Nancy one last chance. He asked, "if you could have a conversation with someone, living or dead, who would it be?" Nancy quickly responded, "the living one." ___________________________________________________ | Today, October 15, in 1815 Napoleon Bonaparte began his exile on the remote island of St. Helena in the Atlantic Ocean. 1860 Grace Bedell, 11 years old, wrote a letter to presidential candidate Abraham Lincoln.
