A friend sent these and I loved them. Thought I’d share:


Man Kills Self Before Shooting Wife and Daughter

This one I caught in the SGV Tribune the other day and called the Editorial Room and asked who wrote this. It took two or three readings before the editor realized that what he was reading was impossible. They put in a correction the next day.

Typhoon Rips Through Cemetery; Hundreds Dead

Did I read that right?

Have to admit they are good ones, Brenda.

I saw those in a chain email yesterday and they are funny. There is also one about insurance claims doing the rounds as well.

Remember those snipers several years ago (2002?) that were arrested in a rest area.

I remember CNN running that story saying that the suspects were arrested while sleeping in their car.

I thought, really? Isn't more convenient for a person to be awake during the arrest???

Brenda,

Funny lines--thanks for a lift.

Elf, I like your new picture--how old are you there?

President Bush was set to visit Texas last year a few days before Hurricane Ike was due to arrive and the headline on CNN: Bush in Texas; Residents urged to flee.

Funny Brenda, thanks for sharing.

Funny lines Brenda. Thank you for posting them. They gave me a much needed laugh!

Like most of you, I get so many things in my spam file and I delete most of them, but I thought these were cute. Glad y'all enjoyed them too.
