When the owner returned to drive home, the attendant told him, "I've got bad news and good news. The bad news is that your car fell to the street from the fifth floor." With pain and disbelief in his voice, the owner asked, "What’s the good news?" The attendant said, "Well, according to our calculations it got over 100 miles to the gallon on the way down!" DRIVE ME CRAZY When trouble arises and things look bad, there is always one individual who perceives a solution and is willing to take command... ...Very often, that individual is crazy. COMMON THREAD The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are better drivers than everyone else on the road.

TWO-THIRDS OF THE PEOPLE ON EARTH HAVE NEVER SEEN SNOW RHEOTORICAL QUESTIONS A five year old girl was at the pediatrician for a check up. As the doctor looked down her ears with an otoscope, he asked, "Do you think I'll find a Bumblebee in here?" The little girl was silent. Next, the doctor took a tongue depressor and looked down her throat. He asked, "Do you think I'll find a Unicorn down here?" Again, the little girl said nothing. HOW OLD WOULD YOU BE IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW HOW OLD YOU ARE? Then the doctor put a stethoscope to her chest. As he listened to her heart beat, he asked, "Do you think I'll hear Elephant in here?" "Oh, my gosh!" the little girl finally exclaimed, "you really don’t know anything about medicine, do you?" YOU WANNA BET?

SOME PEOPLE ARE ABSURDLY HAPPY, COMPLETELY FEARLESS, AND CONSTANTLY IN TROUBLE ARE ORGANIZED PEOPLE THAT WAY BECAUSE THEY ARE JUST TOO LAZY TO LOOK FOR THINGS? THE BIBLE WAS FIRST PRINTED IN 1454 AD BY JOHANNES GUTENBERG THE OLDER I GET, THERE ARE FEWER AND FEWER THINGS THAT SEEM WORTH WAITING IN LINE FOR ALBERT EINSTEIN WAS OFFERED THE ROLE OF ISRAEL’S SECOND PRESIDENT IN 1952. HE DECLINED LEONARDO DA VINCI COULD, AT THE SAME TIME, DRAW A PICTURE WITH ONE HAND WHILE WRITING A LETTER WITH THE OTHER * It was 20th-century British journalist, travel writer and literary critic Dame Rebecca West who made the following sage observation: "I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is: I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat." * The infamous Ouija board may be surrounded by controversy, but the origin of its name is not mysterious; the creators simply combined the French word for "yes" -- "oui" -- with the German affirmative -- "ja." I WENT TO SAN FRANCISCO. I FOUND SOMEONE'S HEART. NOW WHAT? * Everybody is afraid of something, right? And whatever the fear, there's doubtless a name for it. For example, erythrophones are afraid of blushing, peccatophobes are afraid of sinning, and aichmophobes are afraid of needles. If you're afraid of going insane, you're lyssophobic; if it's disease that frightens you, you're nosophobic; cremnophobia is a fear or precipices. There's even a word to describe the fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth: arachibutyrophobia. And finally, you may at this point be suffering from sesquipedalophobia -- the fear of long words. * Located in the Sierras at 8,000 feet above sea level, the town of Bodie was once the second-biggest city in California. These days, it's deserted for most of the year, but every summer more than 200,000 people travel to the upper altitudes just to see the slowly decaying town, hoping to catch a glimpse of one of the ghosts that reputedly inhabit every crumbling building that remains. * Alcoholic beverages are pretty widespread across cultures. There's even a recipe for Eskimo wine: "Put a seagull in a bottle. Fill with water. Let it ferment in the sun." Thought for the Day: "We're in the same tent as the clowns and the freaks -- that's show business." -- Edward R. Murrow (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.
