MONROE - Columnist Jill Pertler recently won first place in "America's Funniest Humor!" Writing Contest held by HumorPress.com, one of the Internet's highest-ranking humor contest sites.

The winning column, "X marks the spot," has earned prize money and publication in the HumorPress.com online showcase. The column was previously published in newspapers in December 2014 and takes a light-hearted look at the letter X's role in the alphabet.

Pertler writes the syndicated column "Slices of LIfe," published in The Monroe Times on Thursdays.
