When you go into court you are putting your fate into the
hands of twelve people who weren't smart enough to get out
of jury duty.

Humankind cannot stand very much reality.

Facebook even less. I got blocked again.
FaceCrack "Fact Checker" snivels and whines to tell
you when something is a true fact.
Commies can't handle facts.
Ninety-eight percent of the adults in this country are
decent,
hard-working, honest Americans. It's the other lousy two
percent
that get all the publicity. But then--we elected them.

>From Dorothy
At breakfast one day, I eagerly waited for my husband to
com-
ment on my first attempt at homemade cinnamon rolls.
After several minutes with no reaction, I asked, "If I baked
these commercially, how much do you think I could get for
one of them?"
Without looking up from his paper my husband replied, "About
10 years."
--------
The BEST Cinnamon Buns I ever had were at the "Cinnamon Bun
Strip" (Braeburn Lodge), even better than the ones at
Johnson's Crossing.
There was even a country song called "Cinnamon Bun Strip",
about the rural air strip across the "Mayo Road", now paved
and called the "Dawson Highway". One time in the late 70s my
dad visited from Austria. He didn't believe me when I told
him about Cinnamon Bun Strip and people flying to there,
even when I played him that song on the radio.
So I drove him there. We sat in the restaurant. The air
strip is across the highway and of course we watched it.
Dad still didn't believe me.
Within a minute a small plane landed and a pilot and 3
passengers got out, tied down to some gravel filled 45
gallon drums, and ambled across the highway and came inside
the restaurant.
The proprietor greeted them and asked "Cinnamon Buns, as
usual?" They just laughed and he put 4 large plates on a
tablet and slapped 8" diameter 1 1/2" high cinnamon buns
onto the plates.
In the meantime the waitress had brought our coffee and
cinnamon buns and a big smile, all without asking. She knew
me.
Dad became a believer and he told the story about Cinnamon
Bun Strip and the song about it on the radio to anybody who
would listen, and some who didn't.
The Cinnamon Bun Strip still exists!

tavern.
Says the German: "I'm tired and thirsty, I must have a
glass of beer."
Says the Frenchman: "I'm tired and thristy, I must have a
glass of wine."
Says the Jew: "I'm tired and thirsty, I must have

an international bonehead award

Jeremy Lee Pauley,

PENNSYLVANIA MAN ACCUSED OF BUYING,
SELLING HUMAN SKIN AND ORGANS
Pennsylvania, was arrested on Aug. 18, 2022, for dealing in
the proceeds of unlawful activities, abuse of a corpse, and
two counts of receiving stolen property — crimes police say
are tied to their discovery of three buckets of flesh and
bones in his basement.
Receiving stolen property is a third-degree felony, and each
count carries a sentence of up to seven years behind bars
and a $15,000 fine.
The case seems to have begun on June 14, when Pauley’s wife,
Sarah, tipped off officers about a sale on Facebook
Marketplace involving “possible” human remains, according to
a criminal complaint filed by Shope.
On July 8, Pauley’s wife reported finding three buckets of
remains in the basement. That triggered a raid by East
Pennsboro Police detectives and personnel from Cumberland
Country Forensics and the coroner’s office. They counted a
heart, a kidney, a spleen, some fat, a skull with hair, a
trachea, and a child’s mandible with teeth, plus two livers,
two brains, two lungs, and six pieces of skin stuck to fat.
It was unlawful to own those remains, Shope wrote in the
criminal complaint, but Pauley also possessed a collection
of oddities that included “at least three full human
skeletons, over seven glass jars containing infant human
remains, over five human skulls, and over 50 rib bones” that
apparently arrived legally from museums and medical centers.
Facebook messages, however, allegedly revealed Pauley was
trying to buy more remains from an Arkansas woman, Candace
Scott, including half of a head, a whole head minus the
skull cap, brains with a skull cap, a heart, a liver, a
lung, kidneys, some hands, a female pelvis, and a piece of
skin with nipple.
Authorities said personnel from the FBI, US Postal Service
agents, and Pennsylvania State Police intercepted the
parcels and discovered the remains belonged to the
University of Arkansas.
They had allegedly been diverted from a mortuary to Pauley,
who was “selling those body parts to people for monetary
gain,” according to the complaint.
“This is one of the most bizarre investigations I have
encountered in my 33 years as a prosecutor,” District
Attorney Seán M. McCormack said in a prepared statement.

One day a housework-challenged husband decided to wash
his own sweatshirt.
Seconds after he stepped into the laundry room, he shouted
to
his wife, "What setting do I use on the washing machine?"
"It depends," she replied. "What does it say on your
shirt?"
He yelled back, "Chicago Bears"
Naturally she replied, "Cold water only gentle cycle."

I have a friend who filled his car with gas at a self-
service gas station. After he had paid and driven away, he
realized that he had left the gas cap on top of his car. He
stopped and looked and, sure enough, it was lost.
Well, he thought for a second and realized that other people
must have done the same thing, and that it was worth going
back to look by the side of the road since even if he
couldn't find his own gas cap, he might be able to find one
that fit. Sure enough, he hadn't been searching long when
he found a gas cap. He tried it on, and it went into place
with a satisfying click.
"Great," he thought, "I lost my gas cap, but I found another
one that fits.
And this one's even better because it locks."

A tourist is visiting New York City when his car breaks
down. He jumps out and starts fiddling under the hood.
About five minutes later, he hears some thumping sounds and
looks around to see someone taking stuff out of his trunk.
He runs around and yells, "Hey, bud, this is my car!"
"Okay," the man says, "Yo take the front and I'll take the
back."

Several women, each trying to one-up the other, appeared in
court,
each accusing the others of causing the trouble they were
having
in the apartment building where they lived.
The judge, with Solomon-like wisdom decreed, "Okay, I'm
ready to
hear the evidence...I'll hear the oldest first."
The case was dismissed for lack of testimony.

The shoe dealer was interviewing a potential salesman.
"Suppose," he said, "a lady customer were to remark while
you were trying to fit her, 'Don't you think one of my
feet is bigger than the other?' What would you say?"
"I would say, 'On the contrary, Ma'am, one is smaller
than the other.'"
"The job is yours."
