weird news for june 2010

Yes, my friends.... it's the middle of June, in the year 2010.

 Did ya ever think you'd ever get this far?

 When I was 16, I figured I'd burn out long before I was thirty.

 Now, I'm .....  well, over 40, anyhow.... (ahem )
.............. and I'm still alive and kickin.

 Just where the hell did I go wrong?






 Hey!!

 I've got some interesting news items for ya this month.




 More fun than a barrel of rotten cabbage.....

 The North Koreans may be a threat to the stability of Southeast Asia--
maybe the whole world - for that matter, but they have figured out a very
logical way of doing away with incompetent government officials.

 Last year, the North Korean government, under a program spearheaded
by Finance Minister Pak Nam-gi, devalued their currency - reducing it by
99% of it's face value. That meant the average 100 wan note went from
being worth 100 -- to being worth 1.

Yow.

"Drastic times require drastic measures", he advised.

It didn't work, though.

Worse yet, not considered was the fact that same reduction in value
would happen to the 'Great Leader's' holdings as well.

And he wasn't happy about it.

Pak Nam-gi was executed ( shot by firing squad ) in March.

Now, let's see... who's in charge of cleaning up this damn oil spill, anyhow????

Hey - what an oxymoron !!!

An illiterate crook broke into a drugstore in Landisville, New Jersey in April looking to score some hillbilly heroin (Oxycontin) ---

--- instead of getting high, he just ended up with a bad case of dry mouth
and an inability to pee --

He had stolen Oxybutynin (for overactive bladder) instead.

Police arrested him anyhow.

Betty Lou Lynn, who played Thelma Lou on the Andy Griffith Show,
was tired of getting mugged in her native Los Angeles, so two years ago,
she moved to Mount Airy, North Carolina - the town Andy said he
based the fictional town of Mayberry on.

Nice little town, Mt Airy.

In April, she was mugged again, this time in downtown Mt Airy.

She has since decided to return to L.A.

Happy Endings?

David Lee Roth's marriage to Jo Ann Fonzone is ending -
Fonzone has filed for divorce in Allentown, Pennsylvania.

You say you didnt even hear about Ole Diamond Dave getting married?

Neither did Diamond Dave.

Apparently, Fonzone, an attorney, has a history of filing frivolous lawsuits, and she has no evidence to show she even KNOWS him, never mind ever being married to DLR.

Job with benefits

The drivers and bottlers of Carlsberg beer in Copenhaven are getting their job benefits reduced - by two beers.

It has been the custom of the Carlsberg plant there to provide up to three free beers for employees during their work shifts, but recent cutbacks have forced them to reduce that number to one - and that during lunch,

Free beer at work....

I can see how that would make the workday go down much smoother.

The city with a heart.

The city of Hudson, New York has a spanking new water fountain for the disabled- as per an agreement with the Feds who sued under the Americans with Disabilities Act.

The real kicker is that the fountain has been installed on the second floor of the county courthouse, which is accessible only by stairs.
