Pirates, Republicans, Etc.
Big News
"Pirates of the Caribbean" raked in $258 million in its first 10 days, as much as Halliburton made in Iraq in two whole weeks.
- When they heard, Republicans started talking about ditching politics and becoming pirates in the Caribbean.
July 17th
Happy birthday Monday to actor David Hasselhoff. He was the big star on Baywatch that nobody ever noticed.
- He’d stay in the water so much he got dishpan dimples.
- That’s the sad part of being an old lifeguard—wrinkled muscles.
On July 17th in 1995 Forbes magazine announced that Microsoft's Bill Gates was the richest man in the world and worth $12.9-billion. Now he's worth five or ten times that much and probably wonders how he ever made it on a measly $12-billion.
- Just think how many lottery tickets this guy can buy.
Cheyenne Frontier Days are this week in Wyoming. It's the world's largest outdoor rodeo. Actually, outdoor rodeos are a lot easier -- you don't have to paper train the bulls.
Spain gave Florida to the U.S. on July 17th in 1821. And aren't we glad? Can you imagine what one of those conquistador helmets would do to Mickey Mouse's ears?
- And who'd want all those bull fighters flying in every year for spring training?

Shallow Thoughts
I hate a bloody movie that has more brains spilled in front of the camera than were used behind the camera.
The worst part of any aerobics class is waiting for the ambulance.
There are two kinds of diets: those I try and those that work.
I've seen many things in my time, many many things. But you know what I've never seen? Ever? I have never seen ... K.D. Lang's legs.
