Some sun today, but not much. Elaine is ill.
I'll finish the items I had yesterday when I had to interrupt.
03. Criminal Caller? Mistaken Identity?
Myra Marcy Baird, age 64 looks very familiar. She lives in Hampstead, Maryland and works at a Giant.. and maybe there is where I remember her from. Apparently, she got a friend to call in a bomb scare to Carroll County Courts because she did not want to go to a session concerning not paying credit cards. She was arrested by a State Policeman and threatened him supposedly. Also, she told a fellow arrestee that she would have to have the policeman shot by the guy who phoned in the bomb scare. At least, that is what was reported. If true, its another case of not telling a book by its cover.
04. *Garner .. Eric age 43
Since Eric Garner died in a police chokehold, NYPD officers are getting retrained. However, I don't think this is going to appease the public.
05. Beretta is Leaving Maryland
The Beretta Gun Factory had been threatening to move from Prince George's County, Maryland to Tennessee if Maryland imposed any more gun control. Well, Maryland did, and Beretta did.
Vincent DeMarco says that Beretta headquarters are in Italy, where they have strict gun control laws.. why haven't they moved out of there? (Tennessee's cost of living is lots less than Maryland's.. so it surely is a matter of Money.)
06. Hot cars again!
This time, a 67 year old mama's boy left his 98 year old mama alone in his pickup truck for five hours while he gambled away her bank account at a Maryland Casino. He wasn't all bad though.. he left one window cracked a half inch. Luckily, she survived.
07. Baltimore Sun Paper Spelling Check?
The Baltimore Sun must use a different spell check program than I do, because when they wrote an ad for a show featuring Beyoncé, her name does not have the accent as it does in my writings.
08. The Dogfish Inn
Dogfish brewer, Sam Caligione is opening the Dogfish Inn in Delaware and crowds are lining up to reserve stays at the 16 room motel that features Dogfish memorabilia. Good beer!
09. World's Oldest Joke?
Mr. Weems, author of HA!, has found a 2,000 year old joke somewhere in Roman ruins:
Garoulous Barber to Client: How should I cut your hair?
Client: Quietly.
Well, I guess you had to be there.
10. World's Funniest Joke?
Richard Wiseman founded Laughlab to find out which jokes are funniest. As a British scientist, Mr. Wiseman enlisted the help of the British Association for the Advancement of Science in a survey that asked: "Is this joke funny?"
A year and a half and 1 1/2 million responses later, he found the so-called "funniest joke in the world," at least for the Brits:
A German Shepherd went into a telegraph office, took out a blank form, and wrote: "Woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof."
The clerk examined the paper and politely told the dog: "There are only nine words here. You could send another "Woof" for the same price.
"But," the dog replied, "that would make no sense at all."
11. *Religion .. One Liner
Wife to Husband: Who was the first man?
Husband: I thought I was.
12. *Marriage .. One Liner
Wife to husband: If I asked you to jump off of a bridge into icy water, would you?
Husband: Not again.
