Ten minutes later, MY sister arrived by train from Sacramento to manage our household over the weekend. On Sundays this procedure worked in reverse with my sister departing by train ten minutes before my wife arrived. One evening after my sister left and while I awaited my wife's arrival, a porter sauntered over. "Mister," he said, "you are sure some man! But one of these days you are goin' to get caught!" ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ >From Justin Back in my day, they hadn't invented electricity yet. We had to watch television by candlelight. ____________________________________________________ Reported by Rock An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by Wendy Wein, 52, Michigan, USA Woman faces prison after trying to hire an assassin to kill her ex-husband through fake 'Rent-a-Hitman' website A Michigan woman offered a fake hitman-for-hire website $5,000 to kill her ex-husband, per CNN. The owner of 'Rent-A-Hitman' turned over her information to the police, who arrested her last year. Wendy Wein pleaded guilty to a charge of solicitation for murder last month. She faces 9 years in prison. A Michigan woman wanted her ex-husband dead so she offered to pay a hitman-for-hire website $5,000 to have him killed, according to CNN. Wendy Wein, 52, found Rent-A-Hitman online, CNN reported, and she believed that it was a website that could be used to help find an assassin. She filled out a form in July 2020, expressing her wishes to have her ex killed, and later provided them with his address, place of work, and schedule, per CNN. The only problem was that the website exists solely to dupe people looking to solicit murders. Wendy Wein thought she was planning the murder with Guido Fanelli who said he was the chief consultant for Rent-A- Hitman but this was actually the fictional alter-ego of Bob Innes. Innes, who lives in California, started the website for an internet security business but it eventually morphed into an online trap for those looking to solicit murders, according to CNN. Now, Innes sifts through requests and hands over serious inquiries to law enforcement. Innes told CNN that he gives people 24 hours to "cool off" before calling the police. A day later, Wein said she still wanted to hire a killer, CNN reported. She later handed over a down payment of $200 to cover out-of-state travel, per Michigan Live.

For example "...has updated his profile" What is the story? Yana Dear Yana The same as their phony fact checkers, that only check if your post might annoy fanatic Democrats, with total disregard to actual facts, those phony friend requests are just Facebook insiders trying to con you. Most of them try to con youto go to a "Whatsapp" link. That too is Facebook, but could also be a virus link. If there is no filled out profile, no common friends, no realistic page, then it is phony. Just REMOVE. Treat it like spam. Don't tell them that you exist by telling them off. Just remove. Have FUN! DearWebby A doctor at an (insane) asylum decided to take his inmates to a baseball game. For weeks in advance, he coached his patients to respond to his commands. When the day of the game arrived, everything seemed to be going well. As the national anthem started, the doctor yelled, "Up nuts!" And the inmates complied by standing up. After the anthem he yelled, "Down nuts!" And they all sat. After a home run he yelled, "Cheer nuts!" And they all broke into applause and cheers. Thinking things were going very well, he decided to go get a beer and a hot dog, leaving his assistant in charge. When he returned there was a riot in progress. Finding his assistant, he asked what happened. The assistant replied, "Well...everything was fine until some guy walked by and yelled, "PEANUTS!" | If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! | If you like my work,

_____________________________________________ One of the teachers had a kindergartner come up to her and said that he found a frog. The teacher asked if the frog was alive or dead. The student said it was dead. The teacher asked how he knew. The boy said, "I pissed in its ear." The teacher said, "You WHAT?" He said, "You know, I went to his ear and said, 'PSST!,' and it didn't move. So, it must be dead." ______________________________________________ A drunk stumbles along a baptismal service on Sunday afternoon down by the river. He proceeds to walk down into the water and stand next to the Preacher. The minister turns and notices the old drunk and says, "Mister, Are you ready to find Jesus?" The drunk looks back and says, "Yess, Preacher..Ah guess so." The minister then dunks the fellow under the water and pulls him right back up. "Have you found Jesus?" the preacher asked. "Nooo, I didn't!" said the drunk. The preacher then dunks him under for quite a bit longer, brings him up and says, "Now, brother, have you found Jesus?" "Noooo, I did not Reverend." The preacher in disgust holds the man under for at least a minute this time, brings him out of the water and says in a harsh tone, "My Good man, have you found Jesus yet?" The ole drunk wipes his eyes and says to the preacher... "Are you sure this is where he fell in?" ______________________________________________ | Ophelia Dingbatter's NewsNo sermon and not suitable for church, just jokes and fun for grownups.
