A SPECIAL ALERT
The AFLAC Scam:
There is a new scam going around, and being perpetrated on unsuspecting Americans. The police say that it is being perpetrated by gangs, usually comprised of four members, but what makes it so insidious is that these four “man” gangs are made up of one adult and three youngsters.
Please watch out for this scam. While the three youngster, all appearing sweet an innocent, divert the attention of their intended victim, with a display of friendliness and charm, the adult fourth member sneaks up from behind the victim’s back and expertly rifles through the victims pockets, purse and or bags, carrying off anything of value.
The picture below, which is from a law enforcement surveillance camera, shows one of these gangs in action.
A Poem for Women:
He didn't like the casserole
and he didn't like my cake.
My biscuits were too hard
not like his mother used to make.
I didn't perk the coffee right,
he didn't like the stew,
I didn't mend his socks
the way his mother used to do.
I pondered for an answer
I was looking for a clue.
Then I turned around and smacked him
like his mother used to do.
Ghost Story out of Minnesota
The following story, even though it sounds like something out of an Alfred Hitchcock movie, is true, so don’t beat up on little ol’ me, because I tell them as I hear them.
This happened about a month ago just outside of Willmar , a little town in the back country of Minnesota
An out-of-state traveler was on the side of the road, hitchhiking on a real dark night in the middle of a thunderstorm. Time passed by slowly and no cars had gone by for a couple of hours. The rain was coming down so hard that the man could barely see his hand in front of his face. Then, suddenly, in between bolts of lightening, he saw a car moving slowly, and appearing ghost like in the rain. It slowly and silently crept toward him and stopped.
Wanting a ride real bad, the hitchhiker jumped into the car and closed the door; it was only then that he realized that there was nobody behind the wheel, and no sound coming from the engine could be heard over the rain.
Once again, the car crept slowly forward and the guy became terrified, way too scared to even jump out and running away. Then, to his horror, the hitchhiker noticed that the car was approaching a sharp curve and, still to scared to jump out the guy started to pray and beg for his life; he was sure that the ghost car would plunge off the road and into the lake that was twenty feet below, and he would surely drown.
But just as the car reached the curve, a shadowy figure appeared at the driver’s side window and a hand reached in and took hold of the steering wheel and gently steered the car safely around the bend. Then just as suddenly, the hand disappeared through the window and the hitchhiker was once again alone in the car.
Paralyzed with fear and about to lose all control of his bodily functions, the poor guy watched as the hand appeared every time they reached another curve. Finally, scared near to death, the guy had all he could take and finally jumped out of the car and ran, as fast as his shaking legs would take him, into town, the town of Willmar
Drenched in rain and his own urine, he went into the nearest bar and in a quavering voice, he ordered two double shots of whisky, then told everyone in the bar about the supernatural experience he had just been through. Silence fell over the bar as every body got goose bumps when they realized the poor frightened guy was telling the truth and wasn’t just some poor drunk.
About half an hour later two guys walked into the bar and one said to the other, “Look Ed, there’s that idiot that jumped in our car when we was pushing it in the rain.”
Adopted Twins:
A woman gave birth to identical twin boys, and shortly after, she gave them both up for adoption. One boy went to a family in Egypt Spain
Many years later, Juan sent a picture of himself to his birth mother. Upon receiving the picture, the birth mother told her husband that she wished she had a picture of Ahmal. Her husband responded, “They’re twins, for heavens sake! If you’ve seen Juan you seen Ahmal.”
