The man entered the florist shop and ordered a bouquet
of flowers to be delivered to his wife. When asked what he
wanted on the card, he replied that no card was necessary
as she'd know who they came from.

Shortly after the flowers were delivered, the florist
received a phone call from the wife asking who had sent the
flowers. The florist told her that the sender requested no
card be included.

"Please, I've GOT to know WHO sent these flowers
BEFORE my husband comes home for lunch!"

A southern woman was rushing to get ready for church.
She ran frantically throughout her house, tore through her
closet, threw her clothes over her head and ran out the
door to her car. When she arrived at the church, she saw a
man coming towards her. "Tell me," she panted in her
southern drawl, "is mass out?"
"Nope," the man replied, but yer hat's on crooked."

Arrest made in murder of 6-year-old
Nyiah Courtney; father indicted in
narcotics conspiracy

Authorities have made an arrest and announced charges in
the murder of a 6-year-old girl who was gunned down earlier
this month in Southeast D.C. in a killing that sent
shockwaves through the community.

Contee said police arrested 22-year-old Marktwan Hargraves
of Waldorf and charged him with Second Degree Murder while
Armed. He was arrested inside of a Southeast D.C.
apartment. Contee added that Hargraves was "no stranger to
the criminal justice system."

Contee also announced that the work of the city’s Violence
Reduction Unit – which focuses on high impact areas of
violence in the District – led to the arrests of 16
individuals who are in custody and face charges of
narcotics conspiracy in federal U.S. District Court. Contee
said the unit recovered over a dozen firearms, cocaine,
heroin and other drugs as part of its operation and said
more arrests are expected in the area near where Courtney
was murdered.

Contee also confirmed at the press conference that
Courtney’s father was one of those indicted in the
operation. "We want to make it very clear – you may not
always see it. But the investigations are happening and we
believe this will make our community safer," said D.C.
Mayor Muriel Bowser.

A very zealous soul-winning young preacher recently came
upon a farmer working in his field. Being concerned about
the farmer's soul the preacher asked the man, "Are you
laboring in the vineyard of the Lord my good man?"

Not even looking at the preacher and continuing his work
the farmer replied, "Naw, these are soybeans."

"You don't understand," said the preacher. "Are you a
Christian?"

With the same amount of interest as his previous answer the
farmer said, "Nope my name is Jones. You must be lookin
for Jim Christian. He lives a mile south of here."

The young determined preacher tried again asking the
farmer, "Are you lost?"

"Naw! I've lived here all my life," answered the farmer.

"Are you prepared for the resurrection?" the frustrated
preacher asked.

This caught the farmer's attention and he asked, "When's it
gonna be?"

Thinking he had accomplished something the young preacher
replied, "It could be today, tomorrow, or the next day."

Taking a handkerchief from his back pocket and wiping his
brow, the farmer remarked, "Well, don't mention it to my
wife. She don't get out much and she'll wanna go all three
days."

A film crew was on location deep in the desert. One day an
old Indian went up to the director and said, "Tomorrow
rain."
The next day it rained. A week later, the Indian went up to
the director and said, "Tomorrow storm."
The next day there was a hailstorm. "This Indian is
incredible," said the director. He told his secretary to
hire the Indian to predict the weather for the remaining of
the shoot. However, after several successful predictions,
the old Indian didn't show up for two weeks.

Finally the director sent for him. "I have to shoot a big
scene tomorrow," said the director, "and I'm depending on
you. What will the weather be like?"

The Indian shrugged his shoulders. "Don't know," he said.
"My TV got repossessed."
