1. WILL THE REAL DUMMY PLEASE STAND UP? AT&T fired President John
Walter after nine months, saying he lacked intellectual leadership. He
received a $26 million severance package. Perhaps it's not Walter who's
lacking intelligence.
2. WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM OUR FRIENDS: Police in Oakland,
California spent two hours attempting to subdue a gunman who had
barricaded himself inside his home. After firing ten tear gas canisters,
officers discovered that the man was standing beside them in the police
line, shouting, "Please come out and give yourself up."
3. WHAT WAS PLAN B??? An Illinois man, pretending to have a gun,
kidnaped a motorist and forced him to drive to two different automated
teller machines, wherein the kidnapper proceeded to withdraw money from
his own bank accounts.
4. THE GETAWAY! A man walked into a Topeka, Kansas Kwik Stop, and
asked for all the money in the cash drawer. Apparently, the take was too
small, so he tied up the store clerk and worked the counter himself for
three hours until police showed up and grabbed him.
5. DID I SAY THAT??? Police in Los Angeles had good luck with a
robbery suspect who just couldn't control himself during a lineup. When
detectives asked each man in the lineup to repeat the words: "Give me all
your money or I'll shoot," the man shouted, "That's not what I said!"
6. ARE WE COMMUNICATING?? A man spoke frantically into the phone,
"My wife is pregnant and her contractions are only two minutes apart!"
"Is this
her first child?" the doctor asked. "No!" the man shouted, "This is her
husband!"
7. NOT THE SHARPEST TOOL IN THE SHED!! In Modesto, California,
Steven Richard King was arrested for trying to hold up a Bank of America
branch without a weapon. King used a thumb and a finger to simulate a
gun, but unfortunately, he failed to keep his hand in his
pocket.(hellllllooooooo!)
8. :D THE GRAND FINALE (I LOVE THIS ONE!!!) Last summer, down on Lake
Isabella, located in the high desert, an hour east of Bakersfield,
California, some folks, new to boating, were having a problem. No matter
how hard they tried, they couldn't get their brand new 22 ft boat going.
It was very sluggish in almost every maneuver, no matter how much power
was applied. After about an hour of trying to make it go, they putted to
a nearby marina, thinking someone there could tell them what was wrong. A
thorough topside check revealed everything in perfect working condition.
The engine ran fine, the out drive went up and down, and the propeller
was the correct size and pitch. So, one of the marina guys jumped in the
water to check underneath. He came up choking on water, he was laughing
so hard.NOW REMEMBER... THIS IS TRUE ... Under the boat, still strapped
securely in place, was the trailer. :D
