The old man was a witness in a burglary
trial.The defense lawyer asks Sam, "Did you
see my client commit this burglary?"
"Yes," said Sam , "I saw him plainly take the
goods."
The lawyer asks Sam again, "Sam, this
happened at night. Are you sure you saw my
client commit this crime?"
"Yes" says Sam, "I saw him do it."
Then the lawyer asks Sam, "Sam listen, you
are 80 years old and your eyesight probably is
bad. Just how far can you see at night?"
Sam says, "I can see the moon, how far is
that?"

Toad Licker Is Locked Up On Trespass Charge
An Indiana man who was licking a toad while dancing by
himself on an Indiana sidewalk is locked up after
ignoring a trespass warning issued by cops, according to
a police report.
La Porte Police Department officers were called to a bar
early Sunday morning when Richard Mullins, 41, refused
to leave the property after being escorted outside by
security. The barefoot Mullins would not provide
bouncers with ID when he walked into JJ’s Side Out
Bar & Grill, cops reported.
After being steered out of the business--but before police
arrived--Mullins began dancing in the bar’s parking lot.
“The subject then reportedly picked up a toad and was licking
it prior to our arrival,” Officer Vincent Bowman noted.
When questioned by cops, Mullins had a “blank look on his
face but no pupil dilation to suggest he was under the
influence of any drugs.” Officers warned Mullins that if
he returned to the bar’s property he would be arrested.
Mullins seemed to understand the warning, Bowman wrote,
“as when he was dancing he would walk right up to the
property line that we pointed out and then walk back.”
But a few minutes after receiving the trespass warning,
Mullins returned to the bar’s parking lot. When police
subsequently approached Mullins, “he was holding
another toad.”
Charged with misdemeanor trespassing, Mullins was booked
into the La Porte County jail, where he is being held
in advance of a June 30 court appearance.
Since the police report does not identify what kind of
toad Mullins was licking, it is impossible to determine
the amphibian’s potential psychoactive properties or
its toxicity.

There were three men at a bar. One man got
drunk and started a fight with the other two
men. The police came and took the drunk guy
to jail.The next day the man went before the
judge. The judge asked the man,
"Where do you work?
"
The man said, "Here and there."
The judge asked the man, "What do you do for
a living?"
The man said, "This and that."
The judge then said, "Take him away."
The man said, "Wait, judge, when will I get
out?"
The judge said to the man, "Sooner or later..."

The Policeman recently stopped a woman for exceeding
the posted speed limit. He asked the driver her name.
She said, "I'm Mrs. Ladislav Abdulkhashim
Zybkcicraznovskaya from the Republic of
Uzbekistan visiting my daughter in Tallahassee."
The cop put away his summons book and pen,
and said,
"Well... OK... but don't let me catch you speeding again."

Reminds me of my student days. It was common
knowledge there that nobody EVER got arrested while
on Gymnasium Street.

Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com
Current Contest Contender!
I liked the many suggestions for using paper towel and
toilet paper rolls to make fire starters. My problem
was that I didn't have a good way to stuff the rolls
and pour or dip them in wax. Then I remembered my camp
craft class where we made paper baskets (this was a
looong time ago!).
Cut paper towel rolls in thirds. Fold one end and make
a cut about 3/4 inches through both layers. Open the
fold up and fold again so that the cut ends are now
on the edges. Make another cut about 3/4 inches and
open up the fold. Fold the four cut edges so they
cover each other (like a box). The paper roll can
now stand up and be filled with dryer lint, sawdust,
etc. Pour the melted wax into the open end.
I also put these on a styrofoam tray (the kind meat
comes on works well) and set my rolls up one against
the other on the tray so that any wax that seeps
through will pool on the tray and not make a mess
of my work surface.
By Joan C. [1]
When I was living and travelling in the bush in the Yukon,
I used to stuff a small ball of newspaper into one end of
the roll, then fill the roll with crushed tiny, dry twigs
from low on spruce trees, and the mossy "beards", and close
the roll with another golf ball size ball of paper.
When travelling by dogsled I used to put one roll inside my
jacket, so that it was nice and warm and had no frost or
snow powder on it. For lighting, I just pull out one of the
end balls a bit and pull it partially apart, and light that.
If there was no frost or windblown snow on the tiny dry
branches at the bottom of trees and bushes, then of course
I used those and saved the roll starter.
Next time you venture beyond the patio and get to a forest,
collect a gunny-sack full of the tiny, dry branches at the
bottom of the trees. They light faster and burn hotter than
waxed dryer lint or even navel lint.
Have FUN!
