Everyone wins!


Even though the world is full of greed, I just read something that really warmed my heart. A Missouri couple have used their lottery winnings to improve their hometown. Mark and Cindy Hill have spent chunks of their $293 million fortune on the town of Camden Point. They have bought their town a new firehouse and baseball field, plus refurbishing the town’s wastewater system, and topping up the high school scholarship fund. The Hills’ gifts amounted to 25 years of taxpayer receipts for the town.
And that’s not all. The town’s fire chief Walt Stubbs says, “That’s just the kind of people they are. They were that way before the money came.”
Now, that’s my kind of people!!!

Suspected.....and confirmed


Did you hear about the man in Germany who was picked up on a suspected DUI? He didn’t have to take the breathalyzer test because he thought the breathalyzer gadget was his cell phone, and he tried to use it to call his lawyer.

Bet Your Bottom Dollar!

I just read that Mariah Carey slathers her 18 month-old twins’ rear ends with La Mer facial lotion after each diaper change. The lotion retails for $150 per ounce and $1,900 for a large bottle. WOW!!! Those baby bottoms should be insured.

Never too late...

I did read the other day that medical experts tell us that we can enjoy sex way past the age of 90, and my hormones said, “WOW!” But then I heard about a 96-year-old Indian man whose wife bore him a son last month - the second in two years.  And what did the Indian man say? He said, “I think it’s important for a husband and wife to have sex regularly.”  That statement definitely clears up everything!

Ready....aim....


Police in Prince George’s County, Md. are setting up security cameras to monitor their speeding cameras.  Why??? Six of the speeding cameras have been vandalized, burned, and shot by angry motorists. No one has yet figured out how to keep the security cameras from being shot. Any ideas?

Amateur Carjacker

Joshua Adam Carter, 25, of Louisiana tried to hijack an unmarked police car at a traffic light. Inside the car were a state police detective and two U.S. marshals. “He’s not one of your smarter ones,” said a spokesman for the Marshals Office.

One man's trash is another man's treasure

Just found out that an artist from my home state of North Carolina, purchased an abstract painting at a thrift store for $9.99. The painting turned out to be a Vertical Diamond by Ilya Bolotowsky, which Sotheby’s valued at $20,000. Congratulations fellow tarheel!!!
