Three stories from the highway:

A Bloomington, IL policeman had a perfect spot to watch for speeders, but wasn't getting many. Then he discovered the problem - a 12-year-old boy was standing up the road with a hand painted sign, which read "RADAR TRAP AHEAD". The officer then found a young accomplice down the road with a sign reading "TIPS" and a bucket full of money. (And we used to just sell lemonade!)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A motorist was mailed a picture of his car speeding through an automated radar post in Peoria, IL. ..... a $40 speeding ticket was included. Being cute, he sent the police department a picture of $40 bill. The police responded with another mailed photo of ...............................handcuffs.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A young woman was pulled over for speeding. An Illinois State Trooper walked to her car window and flipped open his ticket book. She though humor might help the situation so she said,"I bet you are going to sell me a ticket to the State Troopers Ball. He replied, "Illinois State Troopers don't have balls." There was a moment of silence while she smiled, and he realized what he'd just said. He then closed his book, got back in his patrol car and left. She was laughing too hard to start her car!!.

A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales. The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small.

The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale. Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible.

he little girl said, "When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah".

The teacher asked, "What if Jonah went to hell?"

The little girl replied, "Then you ask him".

Kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they drew. She would occasionally walk around to see each child's work.

As she got to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was?

The girl replied, "I'm drawing God."

The teacher paused and said, "But no one knows what God looks like."

Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing, the girl eplied,
"They will in a minute."

Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five and six year olds. After explaining the commandment to "honor" thy Father and thy Mother, she asked, "Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?"

Without missing a beat one little boy (the > oldest of a family) answered,"Thou shall not kill."

Something to laugh about

KIDS IN CHURCH
3-year-old Reese: "Our Father, Who does art in heaven, Harold is His name. Amen."

A little boy was overheard praying: "Lord, if you can't make me a better boy, don't worry about it. I'm having a real good time like I am."

After the christening of his baby brother in church, Jason sobbed all the way home in the back seat of the car. His father asked him three times what was wrong. Finally, the boy replied, "That preacher said he wanted us brought up in a Christian home, and I wanted to stay with you guys."

One particular four-year-old prayed, "And forgive us our trash baskets as we forgive those who put trash in our baskets."

A Sunday school teacher asked her children as they were on the way to church service, "And why is it necessary to be quiet in church?" One bright little girl replied, "Because people are sleeping."

A mother was preparing pancakes for her sons, Kevin 5, and Ryan 3. The boys began to argue over who would get the first pancake. Their mother saw the opportunity for a moral lesson. "If Jesus were sitting here, He would say, 'Let my brother have the first pancake, I can wait.' Kevin turned to his younger brother and said, "Ryan, you be Jesus!"

A father was at the beach with his children when the four-year-old son ran up to him, grabbed his hand, and led him to the shore where a seagull lay dead in the sand. "Daddy, what happened to him?" the son asked. "He died and went to Heaven," the Dad replied. The boy thought a moment and then said, "Did God throw him back down?"

A wife invited some people to dinner. At the table, she turned to their six-year-old daughter and said, "Would you like to say the blessing?" "I wouldn't know what to say," the girl replied. "Just say what you hear Mommy say," the wife answered. The daughter bowed her head and said, "Lord , why on earth did I invite all these people to dinner?"

Colin Powell Redux

Paul Krugman has alerted us to yet another Bush scam. You can read his article on the "Coffee Talk" page and there's a place for your comments. Its time to email our elected officials and the media to let them know we want journalists to be skeptics, not stenographers and we want politicians who are independent thinkers. We can demand it and we should. (Coffee Talk is at http://www.marignyperks.com/)

What's happened to the Republican party?

What is it with these sexually frustrated Republicans? Lets look at the list. Most recently, Senator Craig has been caught looking for sex in a public bathroom.

Then there was Mark Foley of Florida, who quit the House last year after exchanging sexually explicit e-mail messages with under-age male pages, or Jack Abramoff, the lobbyist whose dealings with the old Republican Congress landed him in prison. They are old news, replaced by a fresh crop of scandal-plagued Republicans, men like Senator David Vitter of Louisiana, whose phone number turned up on the list of the so-called D.C. Madam, or Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska and Representative Rick Renzi of Arizona, both caught up in F.B.I. corruption investigations.

Washington does not have a monopoly on the latest trend among Republicans. Just ask Thomas Ravenel, the state treasurer of South Carolina, who had to step down as state chairman of Rudolph W. Giuliani’s presidential campaign after he was indicted on cocaine charges in June.
Or Bob Allen, a state representative in Florida who was jettisoned from the John McCain campaign last month after he was arrested on charges of soliciting sex in a public restroom.

Other than William Jefferson, the Democrats can't compete in the corruption derby. What has happened to the modern Republican party?

Beloved fry cook

A legendary Burger King employee, known across the land for the heroic and selfless deed of randomly inserting a single onion ring among the french fries of unsuspecting customers, is believed to have recently resurfaced in this sleepy Illinois town, sources reported Monday.
"That onion ring was such a pleasant surprise," said Burger King patron Richard Jameson, 37, who claimed that he caught a blue-and-yellow blur out of the corner of his eye, but before he could personally thank the mysterious figure, the "Employees Only" door was already closed. "If you're reading this, good sir, thank you."
While none can predict when or at which Burger King franchise the beloved fry cook will strike next, he will not rest as long as his evil nemesis continues placing shriveled-up, nasty brown fries in people's orders

FDA approves second helpings

WASHINGTON, DC—In a surprising reversal of its longtime single-helping policy, the Food and Drug Administration announced its approval of seconds Tuesday, claiming that an additional plateful of food with every meal can greatly reduce the risk of hunger as well as provide an excellent source of deliciousness.

The damage they've done

What's so familiar? It's not that the headlines remind me of prior administrations. Its that this one is so alarmingly consistent. They are incompetent, dishonest and arrogant. I don't have any hope for change as long as they are in power. Some of the damage is probably permanent. Some can eventually be repaired.

I wonder if the truth about Bobby Jindal will come out. If it does, it won't be good for Jindal.

Eggs on the sidewalk

Somehow, "it's hot" doesn't quite capture it. Only the tourists and the muggers remain on the streets. At night, a hustler languidly leans against a lamp post in the French Quarter. Men in jeans and tee shirts sweat profusely. Women fan themselves to move the hot, damp air around a bit. Air conditioners run constantly, struggling to cool the baking buildings.

When I was a child, growing up in New Orleans, the urban legend was that you could cook an egg on the sidewalk because of the heat. I never hear that anymore and wonder if its just children who spread such stories.
