Dumb, Dumber and More Dumber
For a bit of fun enjoy these true takes on people we share the planet with.
Will the Real Dummy Please Stand Up?! AT&T fired President John Walter after nine months, saying he lacked “intellectual leadership”. He received a $26 million severance package. Perhaps it’s not Walter who’s lacking intelligence.
With a Little Help from Our Friends! Police in Oakland, California spent two hours attempting to subdue a gunman who had barricaded himself inside his home. After firing ten tear gas canisters, officers discovered that the man was standing beside them, shouting pleas to come out and give himself up.
What Was Plan B? An Illinois man pretending to have a gun kidnapped a motorist and forced him to drive to two different automated teller machines. The kidnapper then proceeded to withdraw money from his own bank accounts.
These Nitwits Are Teaching Our Children? A 9-year-old boy in Manassas, Virginia received a one-day suspension under his elementary school’s drug policy last week - for Certs! Joey Hoeffer allegedly told a classmate that the mints would make him “jump higher.” AND A student in Belle, West Virginia was suspended for three days for giving a classmate a cough drop. School principal Forest Mann reiterated the school’s “zero-tolerance” policy…not to be confused with the “zero-intelligence” policy.
Some Days, It Just Doesn’t Pay to Gnaw Through the Straps Fire investigators on Maui have determined the cause of a blaze that destroyed a $127,000 home last month - a short in the homeowner’s newly installed fire prevention alarm system. “This is even worse than last year,” said the distraught homeowner, “when someone broke in and stole my new security system…”
For the Main Course A man in Taormina, Italy was hospitalized after swallowing 46 teaspoons, 2 cigarette lighters, and a pair of salad tongs.
The Getaway The man walked in to a Topeka, Kansas Kwik Shop, and asked for all the money in the cash drawer. Apparently, the take was too small, so he tied up the store clerk and worked the counter himself for three hours until police showed up and grabbed him. Have I Got a Deal for You! More than 600 people in Italy wanted to ride in a spaceship badly enough to pay $10,000 apiece for the first tourist flight to Mars. According to the Italian police, the would-be space travelers were told to spend their “next vacation on Mars, amid the splendors of ruined temples and painted deserts. Ride a Martian camel from oasis to oasis and enjoy the incredible Martian sunsets. Explore mysterious canals and marvel at the views. Trips to the moon also available.” Authorities believe that the con men running this scam made off with over six million dollars.
Too Well-Educated In Medford, Oregon, a 27-year-old jobless man with an MBA blamed his college degree for his murder of three people. “There are too many business grads out there,” he said. “If I had chosen another field, all this may not have happened.”
Did I Say That? Police in Los Angeles had good luck with a robbery suspect who just couldn’t control himself during a lineup. When detectives asked each man in the lineup to repeat the words, “Give me all your money or I’ll shoot,” the man shouted, “That’s not what I said!”
Ouch, That Smarts! A bank robber in Virginia Beach got a nasty surprise when a dye pack designed to mark stolen money exploded in his Fruit-of-the-Looms. The robber apparently stuffed the loot down the front of his pants as he was running out the door. “He was seen hopping and jumping around,” said police spokesman Mike Carey, “with an explosion taking place inside his pants.” Police have the man’s charred trousers in custody.
Are We Not Communicating? A man spoke frantically into the phone, “My wife is pregnant and her contractions are only two minutes apart!” “Is this her first child?” the doctor asked. “No, you idiot!” the man shouted. “This is her husband!”
Not the Sharpest Knife in the Drawer! In Modesto, CA, Steven Richard King was arrested for trying to hold up a Bank of America branch without a weapon. King used a thumb and a finger to simulate a gun, but unfortunately, he failed to keep his hand in his pocket.

Hopsakee, tijd voor een raadseltje
van onze goede vriend Einstein nog wel! Volgens hem kon slechts 2% van de bevolking dit oplossen (en ni cheaten, ik heb monitorsoftware in deze mail gezet!):
In a street, there are five houses, each painted a different color.
In each house lives a person of different nationality.
The five homeowners each drink a different kind of beverage, smoke a different brand of cigarette, and keep a different pet.
* The Brit [Englishman] lives in the red house.
* The Swede has a dog.
* The Dane drinks tea.
* The green house is immediately to the left of the white house.
* The owner of the green house drinks coffee.
* The person who smokes Pall Mall has birds.
* In the yellow house, they smoke Dunhill.
* The man living in the middle house drinks milk.
* The Norwegian lives in the first house.
* The man who smokes Blends lives next to the house with cats.
* The horseman lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill.
* The man who smokes Blue Master drinks beer.
* The German smokes Prince.
* The Norwegian lives next door to the blue house.
* The man who smokes Blends has a neighbor who drinks water.
The question is: Who owns the fish?

Waarheid en kindermond en zo
The following were answers provided by 6th graders
during history tests. Watch the spelling! Some of
the best humor is in the misspelling.
1. Ancient Egypt was inhabited by mummies and they all
wrote in hydraulics. They lived in the Sarah Dessert.
The climate of the Sarah is such that all the
inhabitants have to live elsewhere.
2. Moses led the Hebrew slaves to the Red Sea where
they made unleavened bread, which is bread made
without any ingredients. Moses went up on Mount
Cyanide to get the ten commandments. He died before he
ever reached Canada.
3. Solomon had three hundred wives and seven hundred
porcupines.
4. The Greeks were a highly sculptured people, and
without them we wouldn't have history. The Greeks also
had myths. A myth is a female moth.
5. Socrates was a famous Greek teacher who went around
giving people advice. They killed him. Socrates died
from an overdose of wedlock. After his death, his
career suffered a dramatic decline.
6. In the Olympic games, Greeks ran races, jumped,
hurled biscuits, and threw the java.
7. Julius Caesar extinguished himself on the
battlefields of Gaul. The Ides of March murdered him
because they thought he was going to be made king.
Dying, he gasped out: "Tee hee, Brutus."
8. Joan of Arc was burnt to a steak and was canonized
by Bernard Shaw.
9. Queen Elizabeth was the "Virgin Queen." As a queen
she was a success. When she exposed herself before
her troops they all shouted "hurrah."
10. It was an age of great inventions and discoveries.
Gutenberg invented removable type and the Bible.
Another important invention was the circulation of
blood. Sir Walter Raleigh is a historical figure
because he invented cigarettes and started smoking.
11. Sir Francis Drake circumsized the world with a
100-foot clipper.
12. The greatest writer of the Renaissance was William
Shakespeare. He was born in the year 1564, supposedly
on his birthday. He never made much money and is
famous only because of his plays. He wrote tragedies,
comedies, and hysterectomies, all in Islamic
pentameter. Romeo and Juliet are an example of a
heroic couple. Romeo's last wish was to be laid by
Juliet.
13. Writing at the same time as Shakespeare was Miguel
Cervantes. He wrote Donkey Hote. The next great author
was John Milton. Milton wrote paradise Lost. Then his
wife died and he wrote Paradise Regained.
14. Delegates from the original 13 states formed the
Contented Congress. Thomas Jefferson, a Virgin, and
Benjamin Franklin were two singers of the Declaration
of Independence. Franklin discovered electricity by
rubbing two cats backward and declared, "A horse
divided against itself cannot stand." Franklin died
in 1790 and is still dead.
15. Abraham Lincoln became America's greatest
Precedent. Lincoln's mother died in infancy, and he
was born in a log cabin which he built with his own
hands. Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves by signing the
Emasculation Proclamation. On the night of April 14,
1865, Lincoln went to the theater and got shot in his
seat by one of the actors in a moving picture show.
They believe the assinator was John Wilkes Booth, a
supposingly insane actor. This ruined Booth's career.
16. Johann Bach wrote a great many musical
compositions and had a large number of children. In
between he practiced on an old spinster which he kept
up in his attic. Bach died from 1750 to the present.
Bach was the! most famous composer in the world and so
was Handel. Handel was half German, half Italian, and
half English. He was very large.
17. Beethoven wrote music even though he was deaf. He
was so deaf he wrote loud music. He took long walks in
the forest even when everyone was calling for him.
Beethoven expired in 1827 and later died for this.
18. The nineteenth century was a time of a great many
thoughts and inventions. People stopped reproducing by
hand and started reproducing by machine. The invention
of the steamboat caused a network of rivers to spring
up. Cyrus McCormick invented the McCormick raper,
which did the work of a hundred men. Louis Pasteur
discovered a cure for rabbits. Charles Darwin was a
naturalist who wrote the Organ of the Species. Madman
Curie discovered the radio. Karl Marx became one of
the Marx Brothers.
