NEW YORK- 'What's happening here?' said a California resident after seeing a group of bankers leaning against a broken-down jalopy, their feet muddied and bare. |
WASHINGTON—The Bush twins spoke in unison and repeatedly beckoned Sasha Obama by chanting the phrases 'come play with us, forever' and 'Daddy's making fajitas.'
~They've also been freaked out by the creaking noises coming from Dick Cheney's coffin as he rises every night to feed...~ David LettermanWASHINGTON—Thousands were left stranded at airports nationwide Tuesday, when the Federal Aviation Administration grounded all commercial flights due to the harsh, discordant squawks emitted by a nearby crow. 'We apologize to all passengers affected by the cancellations, but he sounds really close,' acting FAA administrator Robert Sturgell said at a press conference, adding that the nation's airport security officials have determined that the crow is in either a tree somewhere close by or possibly on a roof. 'Flights across the Eastern Seaboard will resume just as soon as we can shoo it away.' In the wake of these recent air traffic delays, President Obama has earmarked $3 billion from the bailout budget to finance the construction of a national scarecrow.

A new study indicates that an increased level of serotonin—a chemical that can prevent depression in humans—causes locusts to swarm. What do you think?

"And all this time I thought locust plagues were sent by a vengeful and jealous God. Once again I have been delivered from the dark recesses of ignorance. Praise Jesus!"

~Everyone is beautiful if you squint a bit~
Nothing funny about THIS story! I think the thing that bothers me most is the first sentence.
From the Seattle Times online:
A convicted murderer at the Washington state prison complex in Monroe was hospitalized after his second attempt to cut off his penis.
MONROE — A convicted murderer at the Washington state prison complex in Monroe was hospitalized after his second attempt to cut off his penis.
A spokeswoman for the Monroe Correctional Complex, Cathy Kopoian, says the 49-year-old inmate has a history of mental illness and already had amputated much of his genitalia several years ago.
Corrections Department spokesman Chad Lewis identified the inmate as John Forrester.
Forrester apparently used a razor blade to cut off what remained on Thursday. Kopoian tells The Herald in Everett that he was taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle with serious cuts to the groin. His condition was not immediately available Thursday night.
Kopoian says prisoners are permitted basic necessities — including razors — under state law.
Kopoian says Forrester was convicted on July 1, 1977, for aggravated first-degree murder and was sentenced to life without parole.

CARBONDALE, PA—Local throat-clearer Leon Pollack, 32, confirmed with reporters Tuesday that he planned to see the 6:15 p.m. showing of the World War II epic Defiance at the Regal Cinema 16 on East Main Street. 'I'm really looking forward to this movie,' Pollack said while drinking a large glass of whole milk. 'And afterwards, I'm thinking I might—hurrrm…hurrrrrrrm! Excuse me. I'm thinking I might go to the reading room at the library for a couple of hours.' After downloading a new 'La Cucaracha' ring tone for his cell phone, Pollack went to pick up two of his friends, an 87-year-old woman who doesn't follow plotlines well and a colicky 2-month-old.
Two little kids are in a hospital, lying on stretchers next to each other
outside the operating room---the first surgeries of the day.
The first kid leans over and asks, "What are you in here for?" The second kid says,
"I'm in here to get my tonsils out and I'm a little nervous."
The first kid says, "You've got nothing to worry about. I had that done when I was four.
They put you to sleep, and when you wake up they give you lots of Jell-O and Ice Cream.
It's a breeze."
The second kid then asks, "What are you here for?"
The first kid says, "A circumcision."
"Whoa!" the second kid replies. "Good luck buddy!! I had that done when I was born.
Couldn't walk for a year!!"
