An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD
has been earned by

Darnell Washington,
38,
Houston,
Texas

Dad reappears several days after 
leaving 6 year old son in the car.

Darnell Washington pulled up to an adult bookstore, left the
SUV running, and headed inside. Hours passed, and the man
never came back. Meanwhile, his six-year-old son remained in
the car.

According to Click2Houston, six hours went by, and nobody
returned for the boy. Even worse, he had nothing to eat or
drink.

As ABC13 reports, Diamond Hawkins was working at a tattoo
shop when he finally saw the child sitting alone in the
vehicle:

“He was sitting in the truck and I didn't pay much attention
because we have a business next door that sells cars. I
thought his dad was next door buying a car or something.”

Eventually, the owner of the adult bookstore saw the boy
walking around the parking lot and went in search of his
parents. According to the Houston Chronicle, the owner went
inside the tattoo parlor and asked if the child belonged to
anyone, but nobody knew who he was.

At that point, he and Hawkins knew something was wrong.

According to Click2Houston, Hawkins said the young boy
couldn't provide them with any information:

“He didn’t know where his dad was. He didn’t know where he
lived, or his phone number, or anything. We looked for his
dad and couldn’t find him anywhere, so somebody called the
cops.”

Another tattoo shop employee, John Ridley, made sure the boy
was comfortable while they waited for the police to arrive.
They eventually got the frightened child to talk:

"He was really shy at first. He had a little food and we put
him in front of the TV and he got accustomed to us. He
opened up a bit and told us his name.”

When nobody came to pick the six-year-old boy up from the
police, he was placed with Texas Child Protective Services.
As for Washington, he didn't show back up to the parking lot
for several days.

When he finally did return, Hawkins said Washington appeared
to be more concerned about his vehicle than his son:

“He came in and was asking about his car. Wasn't too
concerned about the kid but said, 'Hey did you have a car
towed, where's my car.'”

Washington admitted to police that he was drinking on the
day he left his child. He said he had “four shots of
whiskey” and “four to five shots of tequila.” He explained
that he passed out behind the store in an alley, woke up,
couldn't find his child, and passed out again.

He eventually found out where the child he left behind was
when he called his own father, who let him know the police
had him.

Mardee Paige was at the tattoo parlor with her best friend
celebrating her 70th birthday when the little boy was
rescued from wandering around the parking lot. Paige said:

“That person in my mind shouldn't have a child. Who knows
what would have happened had somebody not brought him over
here.”

Washington was charged with child endangerment. His court
date set for April 11.

The young boy is now staying with friends.
There was no mention  of a mother in any report. She might
be dead or in jail.

Re: Telemarketers

Dear Webby
I have been told not to be rude to telemarketers, just in
case they are potential clients. I know you have a 
dangerously wicked sense of humor and have had some
good tips about that in the past, but unfortunately I did 
not save them. What do you recommend?
Danielle

Dear Danielle
Just tell the telemarketer that they should be talking to
Farley Marblemouth and to hold on. Then, before they 
can reply to that, put them on hold.

Eventually you'll hear the beeping that indicates a dead
line.

An alternative is to tell them that you, or whoever they
want to talk to are too busy to listen to telemarketers and
that they should send an email. They never do.

If Call Indicator shows the name of a state, it is forged by
a telemarketer. I don't even bother listening to their
crap,
I hit On/Off faster than they can get one word out.

Have FUN!
DearWebby




Redneck Manners

Entertaining in Your Home
a. A centerpiece for the table should never be anything 
  prepared by a taxidermist.
b. Do not allow the dog to eat at the table, even if his
manners   are better than those of your mother-in-law.

Dining Out
a. When decanting wine, make sure that you tilt the paper 
  cup and pour slowly so as not to bruise the bouquet of 
  the wine.
b. If drinking directly from the bottle, always hold it 
  with your fingers covering the label. 

Personal Hygiene
a. While ears need to be cleaned regularly, this is a job 
  that should be done in private using one's own truck keys.
b. Proper use of toiletries can forestall bathing for 
  several days. If you live alone, however, deodorant is 
  a waste of good money.
c. Dirt and grease under the fingernails is a social no-no, 
 as they tend to detract from a woman's jewelry and alter 
  the taste of finger foods. 

Rules of the Road
a. Dim your headlights for approaching vehicles, even if 
  the gun is loaded and the deer is in sight.
b. When approaching a four-way stop, the vehicle with the 
  largest tires always has the right of way.
c. Never tow another car using panty hose and duct tape.
d. When sending your wife down the road with a gas can, 
  it is impolite to ask her to bring back beer.
e. Never relieve yourself from a moving vehicle when you
  are the driver.
f. Do not lay rubber while traveling in a funeral
procession. 

Weddings
a) Ex-mother-in-laws should not be invited to weddings, 
  unless they are the parole officers of the bride or groom.
b) Rifles and handguns are not appropriate wedding gifts.
c) When giving a set of towels, tires, milk-crates or 
  hub-caps as wedding gifts, try to pick the same make
 or color for each piece of the set.
d) If the bride is more than 8 months pregnant, it is better

 to have the wedding after the delivery of the baby, so that
  the bride can fully enjoy and participate in the wedding 
  brawl.

Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com
Grease Stains on Suede Shoes 
By Pamela [1 Comment]
I've had luck with removing light grease stains from suede
with rubber cement. The kind of rubber cement used in school
projects (comes in a brown bottle with it's own brush
inside). Of course, test first on a small spot, like the on
inside lining. Just brush on a small amount, let it sit for
a moment to dry, then rub off the rubber cement with a soft
cloth. When stain is gone and suede is dry, use suede brush
to fluff up the suede again. Good luck!
