I Used to have a Handle on Reality, But It Broke!

We Apologize for the Mistake!
  • IMPORTANT NOTICE: If you are one of hundreds of parachuting enthusiasts who bought our "Easy Sky Diving" book, please make the following correction on page 8, line 7, the words "state zip code" should have read "pull rip cord."
  • We apologize to Hertburn Frye, who has joined the staff of McDonalds as an "executive consultant", not as an "expensive consultant" as previously reported.
  • Last week's announcements indicated that Ed Rumson hosted a "crap shooting" party. It should have been a "trap shooting" party.
  • Our article about Jewish burial customs had an error: Mourner's clothing is "rent" that is torn, not "rented" as was previously reported.
  • Our previous article about the Deep Realization Professional Development program should have said it is an "experiential program", not an "experimental program", and the program includes "meditation", not "medication."
  • The spokesman for the Alamo Club was quoted as saying, "We're not AA. We are a social outlet where people can come, have coffee, shoot people, and visit with friends." The quote should have read, "... where people can come, have coffee, and shoot pool."
  • A photo caption in Wednesday's paper identified Roland Langford of Hampton as Chairman of the "Collusion for Justice." There is no such organization. Langford is Chairman of the "Coalition for Justice"

Solution for Airport Scanners

Develop a booth that people can step into that will NOT X-ray them, but will detonate any explosive device they may have hidden on or in their body. The explosion is contained within the sealed booth.

This would also solve the problem of accusations about profiling. There would be no need for profiling and the device would eliminate long and expensive trials.

Imagine you're in the airport terminal and you hear a muffled explosion. Shortly afterward an announcement comes over the PA system,
"Attention standby passengers, an additional seat is now available on flight number..."

Auto Accident Bloopers
  • Coming home, I drove into the wrong house and collided with a tree I didn't have.
  • An invisible car came out of nowhere, struck my car, and vanished.
  • In an attempt to kill a fly, I drove into a telephone pole.
  • The telephone pole was approaching fast. I was attempting to swerve out of its way when I struck my front end.
  • The guy was all over the road. I had to swerve a number of times before I hit him.
  • To avoid hitting the bumper of the car in front, I struck a pedestrian.
  • I was sure the old fellow would never make it to the other side of the road when I struck him.
  • The pedestrian had no idea which direction to run, so I ran over him.
  • I had been driving for about 40 years, when I fell asleep at the wheel and had an accident.
  • The other man changed his mind, and I had to run into him.
  • The accident was entirely due to the road bending.
  • My car was legally parked as I backed into the other vehicle.
  • I pulled away from the side of the road, glanced at my mother-in-law and headed over the embankment.
