One he selected was a young widow, whose husband had died two years ago, according to the index card he had. After knocking at the door, he was greeted by a young lady with a baby in her arms. He said, "I'm sorry, I must have the wrong address, I was looking for the widow Laffitte." "You've found her Father." smiled the lady. "Well, according to the card here, it says your husband died over two years ago." he said glancing at the baby in her arms. "That's correct Father, he surely did... but I didn't." ____________________________________________________ Reported by Rock An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by Alvis Parrish, 54, Jacksonville, Florida, USA Just enough poison Florida woman poisoned boyfriend to 'shut him up,' then called deputies 'so he wouldn't die' A Florida woman told deputies she gave her boyfriend "just enough" poison in his lemonade to shut him up and then called law enforcement "so he wouldn't die," according to a police report. Deputies with the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office said Alvis Parrish, 54, put a psychotic drug in the lemonade of William Carter, with whom she had been living with for nine years, on Dec. 7. She then called authorities. When deputies arrived at her home, she was on the front porch and said she did it because he wouldn't shut up, according to an arrest report. "I gave him just enough to shut him up and called y'all so he wouldn't die," said Parrish, according to the arrest report. A deputy put her in handcuffs and Parrish continued talking. "Do whatever you want. If you don't take me, I will kill him," she said, according to the arrest report. The deputy reported she was speaking with a slur, as if she was intoxicated. Parrish also wrote out what she had done in a notebook, according to the arrest report. A deputy who talked to Carter described him as "extremely lethargic" but had difficulty interviewing him because he kept complaining about how tired he was, the report said. Carter, 61, told the deputy the lemonade tasted funny but he said he did not know why Parrish would give him the drug since he didn't usually take it. A bottle of lemonade deputies found had a powdery substance at the bottom, the report said. Carter at first didn't want to go to a hospital, but he was taken to an emergency room after he collapsed to the floor, saying he was not feeling well. Parrish is facing a charge of poisoning food or water with intent to kill or injure a person. ____________________________________________________ If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! ______________________________________________________ From: Inger Re: Where is Libre Office?

DearWebby Robert wasn't too happy with his doctor's recommendation to cure his constant fatigue. "You want me to give up sex completely, Doc?" he cried. "I'm a young guy. I'm in the prime of my life. How do you expect me to give up sex and quit cold turkey?" "Well," replied the doctor, "you could get married and taper off gradually."

He figures that the driver in the vehicle must be drunk. The preacher decides that he should pass and get on down the road so there will be no chance of being in a possible accident. He starts around the car and hits a slick spot in the road and the car goes off into a deep ravine but lands right side up. The drunk stops and staggers over to the edge of the road and says, "Hey Buddy, are you okay?" The preacher answers back and says, "Yes, thank you, the Lord is riding with me." To which the drunk replies, "Well, you had better let him ride with me before you kill him." ______________________________________________ Two babies in a hospital nursery: "I'm a little girl."

There is terrible turbulence and then the plane goes into a sudden nose dive. The Captain comes on the intercom and says I hate to have to tell you this folks, but we might not walk away from this one. Everyone begins to panic except for the boy who sheepishly turns to the woman and says, I hate to trouble you miss, but we might die and Ive never kissed anyone. The woman is at first taken aback but after a moment realizes she might as well make the kid happy in their final moments. She passionately kisses him. The boy, elated, goes on, Sorry to bother you again after such a lovely kiss, but we might die and Ive never felt a breast. Again the woman is taken aback but decides there is no harm in it and slides his hand under her shirt. After a good long feel, the boy again says youve been so kind already but please, I dont want to die never having made love to a woman. Already committed to helping this boy have new experiences before they die, the woman smiles and begins to undo his belt. Just then the plane levels off. As everyone exits the plane they shake hands with the captain and congratulate him. The woman walks off the plane she says thank you so much for saving us from certain death. The boy says just a LITTLE longer next time dad! ___________________________________________________ Today, December 17, in 1777 To annoy Britain, France recognized American independence. 1791 A traffic regulation in New York City established the first street to go "One Way." 1830 South American patriot Simon Bolivar died in Colombia. 1895 George L.
