Good Morning, !
Today is Friday, July 10
Time to wear a bit of red to show your support for the troops!
By the time you read this, I will be on the way to Calgary
to get injections into my eyeballs.
That means there won't be a Saturday, Sunday or Monday
issue. Tuesday I will be back.

Airman Jones was assigned to the induction center,
where he advised new recruits about their government
benefits, especially their GI insurance. It wasn't long
before Captain Smith noticed that Airman Jones was
having a staggeringly high success-rate, selling
insurance to nearly 100% of the recruits he advised.
Rather than ask about this, the Captain stood in the
back of the room and listened to Jones' sales pitch.
Jones explained the basics of the GI Insurance to the
new recruits, and then said: "If you have GI Insurance
and go into battle and are killed, the government has
to pay $200,000 to your beneficiaries. If you don't have
GI insurance, and you go into battle and get killed, the
government only has to pay a maximum of $6000.
Now," he concluded, "which group do you think they
are going to send into battle first?"

MONEY
It can buy a House
But not a Home
It can buy a Bed
But not Sleep
It can buy a Clock
But not Time
It can buy you a Book
But not Knowledge
It can buy you a Position
But not Respect
It can buy you Medicine
But not Health
It can buy you Blood
But not Life
So you see money isn't everything.
And it often causes pain and suffering.
I tell you this because I am your Friend,
and as your Friend I want to take away
your pain and suffering!
So send me all your money and I will suffer for you!
Cash only please.

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD
has been earned by
Edward Williams,
Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania,
USA
Philadelphia father who 'made up'
home invasion charged in 4-year-old
son's shooting death
The father of a 4-year-old boy who was shot and killed
inside their North Philadelphia home has been charged with
a number of offenses including involuntary manslaughter.
Twenty-eight-year-old Edward Williams was arraigned early
Friday morning.
Along with involuntary manslaughter, the multiple charges
include corruption of minors, endangering the welfare of
children, false report, and possession of instrument of
crime with intent.
His bail was set at $2 million.
Philadelphia police said Williams fabricated a story that
his son was shot during a home invasion at their residence
on the 2100 block of North Lambert Street.
Officers arrived to the home around 1 a.m. Thursday where
they found Williams holding his 3-year-old child.
The 4-year-old son was found in an upstairs bedroom
unconscious and unresponsive.
The child was taken to the hospital where he was
pronounced dead.
In a news conference on Thursday afternoon, police said
Williams "made up" the home invasion story.
They said it appeared the child found the gun in a closet,
was curious, and decided to play with it. They said it
appeared the 4-year-old shot himself with the gun.
According to authorities, Williams was sleeping at this
time.
Police believe the 3-year-old sibling was present at the
time of the shooting because he was the one who alerted
Williams of what happened.
Police said the weapon does not appear to be stolen, but
it wasn't registered to the father.
Police said Williams most likely fabricated the home
invasion story because he had seven prior arrests and
should not have been in possession of the firearm.
The child's mother was at work at the time of the
shooting, police said.
Edward Williams is a felon with many gun related
convictions and is not supposed to have a gun.

"Is there a woman here in need of assistance ?" asked
the medic from the ambulance as he knocked on the
door.
"Yes." replied the man opening the door. "It's my
wife. She has an electric vibrator lodged in her."
"Well, we'll have to transport her to the hospital."
the medic replied. "Those things can be tricky to
remove."
"Never mind." said the husband. "We have an HMO which
