Hello all Torn Slatterns and Nugget Ranchers


Hard to believe, but it’s been a year since Washington Intern Chandra Levy was reported missing. When asked to comment, all former Congressman Gary Condit would say is; “Do you want fries with that?”

Bill Clinton is looking for an apartment in Manhattan. Clinton is looking to save money. At those Times Square Hotels the twenty bucks-an-hour adds up fast.

Barney Reed Jr., a table tennis player, was suspended for two years for testing positive for anabolic steroids. The steroids weren’t for performance enhancement, the guy just wanted to look buffed for all those table tennis groupies.

On this date on 1945, Adolf Hitler committed suicide along with his wife of one day, Eva Braun. A lot of people don’t know this, but initially, Hitler asked his bodyguards to do it for him.

Topless photos of Anna Kournikova appearing in the June issue of Penthouse magazine are fake, say representatives of the Russian tennis player. So, for now, Anna will only pose as a tennis player.

Over 450 airport workers have been arrested on a sweep of 15 airports. It was wild, the police held a surprise raid, they burst into the airports, shook the airport workers awake, and arrested them.

Burger King has a promotion that, if you cluck like a chicken, you get 50 cents off of their chicken whopper. And in Portland, you get another 50 cents off if you choke on it like a Blazer.

They have discovered that the murder weapon in the Robert Blake case was a vintage World War II hand gun. Police have put out an A.P.B. for Sergeant Schultz.

Two congressional panels on transportation want to arm airline pilots. I think that’s a good idea. But why stop there? They should also give guns to the flight attendants. You’ll see those cell phones off and those trey tables stowed and locked in their full-upright position, I can tell you.


I saw the 500th episode of “Cops.” It was the 2,000th person apprehended and, according to the arrestees, the 2000th innocent victim who didn’t do anything wrong.I love these guys on “Cops” “I didn’t dooooooo nothin’, I shwear. ’” The other person’s lying there all beat-up and bloody.
