Today's Bonehead Award:
Man accused of fatally shooting
Fresno father, injuring wife and
son, will stand trial

In dire need of a beauty make-over, Nancy went to her
salon with a fashion magazine photo of a gorgeous, young,
lustrous haired model.
She showed the stylist the trendy new cut she wanted and
settled into the chair as he began humming a catchy tune
and got to work on her thin, graying hair.
Nancy was delighted by his cheerful attitude until she
recognized the melody. It was the theme from "Mission
Impossible."

A well-stacked young advertising secretary wore tight
knit dresses that showed off her figure, especially when
she walked. Her young, aggressive boss motioned her into
his office one afternoon and closed the door. Pointing to
her tightly covered derriere, he asked, "Is that for
sale?"
"Of course not!" she snapped angrily, blushing furiously.
Unchanged, he replied quietly, "Then, I suggest you quit
advertising it!"

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD
has been earned by
Man accused of fatally shooting
Fresno father, injuring wife and
son, will stand trial
Lavale Vean Jr.,
23,
Maadera,
California
A Madera man accused of shooting three members of a
northwest Fresno family and killing one of them will go
to trial, a Fresno County Superior Court judge ruled
Thursday.
Lavale Vean Jr., 23, is charged with one count of murder
and two counts of attempted murder in the Oct. 2, 2017
shooting that killed 52-year-old Roberto Ramos and
wounded his wife, Irma, 52, and son, Jacob, 20.
Although the shooting initially appeared random,
detectives soon discovered Vean and Jacob Ramos shared a
violent past.
The two men had known each other for several years,
having first met at the Madera County Juvenile Boot Camp.
After serving their sentences, the two men did a few drug
deals together, said Vincent Miranda, a Fresno detective.
In 2015, Vean was supposed to buy some cocaine from
Ramos, but the deal fell apart. Ramos accused Vean of
paying him with phony money and Ramos vowed to get even,
Miranda said.
Ramos set up a fake drug deal in Madera to try and lure
Vean into a trap. It worked, with Ramos and a friend
beating up Vean, stripping his clothes off and kicking
him in the face several times, Miranda testified.
Miranda and prosecutor Ryan Wells believe Vean was
looking for revenge the day he came to the Ramos’ home in
the 5000 block of West Fir Avenue.
When Miranda interviewed Vean, he asked the detective if
he was aware of what was done to him in Madera.
“He (Vean) was upset because he felt justice had not been
served in the case,” Miranda said.
Vean and an unidentified shooter allegedly approached the
house, with one of the shooters taking aim at Jacob Ramos
and his mother, who were sitting inside the garage.
Another shooter went after Roberto Ramos, who was taking
the garbage out, Miranda said.
Multiple shots were fired. Fresno Police crime scene
technician Gina Cavazos testified to collecting 16 bullet
casings; 10 were .40 caliber and six were 9 mm.
Miranda said police have not made any more arrests in the
shooting.
Vean’s attorney Lourdes Espinosa said her client doesn’t
know who the other shooter is. She said Vean’s memory is
faulty because of the head trauma he suffered from the
2015 beating.
Vean was arrested for the Ramos murder on Feb. 10, 2018
at a Motel 6 in Childress, Texas.
Vean will be arraigned on Feb. 28. If convicted on all
charges, he faces up to 108 years in prison.

Re: Online paying
Dear Webby
How safe is online paying of bills, like the phone bill
or Internet bill?
Thanks
Mary
Dear Mary
That is quite safe.
For other purchases, just use common sense.
Is it a respectable company and cclose enough,
so that you can visit them with a rolling pin?
With distant companies I check to see if they
accept PayPal. If they don't, then use extra caution.
If they accept PayPal.then PayPal will fight
for you, if there is a problem.
Have FUN!

They call a bride's new husband a groom. A groom is
also a term applied to a fellow who works in a stable.
Does this mean a marriage should automatically be
very stable. 0r is it that they expect you to have to
yell so much you'll be a little horse?

Melvin Horowitz was feeling ill at work, and left after
lunch to go home. He
walked into the house and found his wife Fanny in the
arms of another man.
He started to yell at the interloper, "What right have
you got to be making
love to my wife?"
The man answered calmly, "You may as well know that I am
in love with Fanny,
and I would like to marry her. I understand you're a
gambler. Why don't you be a good sport and sit down and
play a game of gin rummy with me? If I lose, I'll never
see her again; if you lose, you must agree to divorce
her.... Okay?"
"Okay," replied Horowitz, "but just to make it a little
more interesting, why don't we also play for a dollar a
point?"

In a Catholic elementary school, children were asked
questions about the Old and New Testaments. Among their
responses were these quotes, offered here exactly as they
were originally written and spelled:
In the first book of the bible, Guinessis, God got tired
of creating the world, so he took the Sabbath off.
Adam and Eve were created from an apple tree.
Noah's wife was called Joan of Ark. Noah built an ark,
which the animals come on to in pears.
Lot's wife was a pillar of salt by day, but a ball of
fire by night.
Samson was a strongman who let himself be led astray by a
Jezebel like Delilah.
Samson slayed the Philistines with the axe of the
Apostles.
