Octopus Armpits?

Big News

The good news is eight workers at a Nebraska meatpacking plant on Wednesday claimed the biggest lottery jackpot in U.S. history — $365 million. The bad news is they still can't afford health care.

Thrilling Thursday

On February 23rd in 1985 Indiana basketball coach Bobby Knight threw a metal folding chair across the court during a game. He was so ashamed, to punish himself he's still wearing the same sweater.

On February 23rd in 1505 Christopher Columbus was granted a license to ride a mule in Spain. First, of course, he had to complete a course in mule education for his beginner's license, so he could ride a mule when accompanied by a licensed mule rider. Until he passed his mule test.
- Then he could solo and go cruisin' any time he wanted.
- Ever try to parallel park a mule?

The annual Cowtown Marathon is this weekend at the stockyards in Fort Worth. Thousands of sweaty Texans will run the stockyard course, amid thousands of cows, goats, sheep, and pigs. Even those who don't attend can face Fort Worth and experience the aroma.
- As the runners huff and puff and sweat through the stockyards, it's truly a unique sight -- to see a goat holding its nose.

Dumb Thought of the Day

Be thankful you're not an octopus. Think how much you'd spend on deodorant with eight armpits.
- Or is it seven armpits?
- I was never that good at underwater anatomy.

Et al.

I believe the health care system should be reformed and that the doctors should only collect if they cure the patients.

In the words of my favorite politician, I know you believe you understood what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize what you heard is not what I meant.
