FOOTBALL FANS

Mike, you always say that “Timing” is everything…well, with the UofM/Tennessee game this weekend, I thought this would be funny!
–Brenda Powell

A first grade teacher in Knoxville, Tennessee, explained to her class that she was a Tennessee fan. She asked her students to raise their hands if they, too, were Tennessee fans.

Everyone in the class raised their hand except for one little girl.

The teacher looked at the little girl with surprise and said, “Janie, why didn’t you raise your hand?”

“Because I am not an Tennessee fan,” she replied.

The teacher, still shocked, asked, “Well, if you are not a Tennessee fan, what kind of a fan are you?”

“I’m a Memphis fan,” Janie replied.

The teacher could not believe her ears. “Janie, WHY are you a Memphis fan?”

“Because my mom is a Memphis fan, my dad is a Memphis fan, so I am a Memphis fan also.”

“Well,” said the teacher in an obviously annoyed tone, “that is no reason for you to be a Memphis fan. You don’t have to be just like your parents all the time. What if your mom was a snotty, arrogant jerk and your dad was a snotty, arrogant jerk, what would you be then?”

“Then,” Janie smiled, “We’d be Tennessee fans.”

Harry Hamlin Is ‘Dancing’ No More
“L.A. Law” star Harry Hamlin, and husband of season-two semifinalist Lisa Rinna, was booted off of “Dancing with the Stars” last night.

SIMON COWELL’S MOM HIT BY A CAR (Ghastly!)
‘American Idol’ judge Simon Cowell’s mother was struck by a car. 80 year-old Julie Cowell is suspected to have a broken hip and could face a hip replacement operation following Friday’s accident. Simon went straight to her hospital bedside. Cowell told The London Sun newspaper: “When I heard, I was worried to death. But she is as strong as an ox and her attitude was a bit like, ‘What’s all the fuss about?’ I was obviously relieved she is fine and already planning her 100th birthday party.”

RELATED: SIMON COWELL ON CLAY
Simon Cowell is sharing some of his frustration with Clay Aiken. Clay has recently been in the press talking about using anti-depressants to deal with the fame. Simon said, “Oh give me a break. Let me have a choice, I’m going to work in a coal mine for 14 hours a day or I’m going to be a runner-up on ‘American Idol.’ Give me a break, idiot.”

Women Are Evil By Nature…

A woman went up to the bar in a quiet rural pub…

She gestured to the bartender who approached her immediately.

She seductively signaled that he should bring his face closer to hers.

As he did, she gently caressed his full beard.

“Are you the manager?” she asked, softly stroking his face with both hands.
“Actually, no,” he replied.

“Can you get him for me? I need to speak to him,” she said, running
Her hands beyond his beard and into his hair.

“I’m afraid I can’t,” breathed the bartender. “Is there anything I can do?”

“Yes. I need for you to give him a message,” she continued, running
Her forefinger across the bartender’s lips…

“What should I tell him?” the bartender managed to say.

“Tell him,” she whispered,”There’s no toilet paper, hand soap, or paper towels in the ladies room.”

A priest parked his car illegally, but he was answering a higher calling!!!  Does he get mercy from the law? 
He was answering a higher calling. Rev. Cletus Forson got a call from a parishioner desperate to get the sacrament of the sick administered to his mother. When he got to the Brooklyn hospital, there was nowhere to park. So he pulled up in an ambulance zone, tossed his clergy parking permit on the dashboard and went in. The priest came back and found a $115 ticket on his windshield.  An appeals board says that while he might have been fulfilling a religious obligation, he still broke the law and will still have to pay his parking ticket. On the bright side, people who learned of his plight last month have since donated almost $1,500.

Imagine having a twin sister and never getting to meet her…..until you’re 71 years-old?
A Wisconsin woman has finally met her sister, 71 years after they were born. It took eight years to track her other half down.  The twins (Pat Gudinas and Shirley McGuire)were born to a single woman and they ended up in different foster homes and eventually at St. Joseph Orphanage on Milwaukee’s south side. Pat says they “were kept separated”, “were never in the same room with one another.” Both girls were told while they were growing up that they were adopted and had a twin.  Recently a nun in Chicago who had archival materials from the orphanage provided one gal with the name of the people who adopted her twin. She hired a genealogist to track her down with the help of public records and newspaper obituaries.

Hey parents!  Wanna know if your daughter is going to be a good athlete?  It’s all in the size of her hands!
The length of a girl’s ring finger could be an indicator of her future sporting potential. Researchers (at King’s College London) studied hand measurements of 607 female twins aged 25-79, in comparison to the women’s lifetime sporting achievements.  The findings found that women with ring fingers longer than their index fingers had performed better at running and associated running sports (like soccer and tennis).  In women the ring finger is commonly shorter or the same length as the index finger, while in men the ring finger is generally longer. Docs couldn’t explain the reasons for the new findings.

So, on the Mike and Mandy show….how athletic are Mandy and Rachel?  Let’s look at their hands….

Blonde Parking Space

A blonde was driving down the street in a cold-sweat because she had an important meeting and couldn’t find a parking place.

Looking up toward heaven, she said, “Lord, take pity on me.  If you find me a parking place I will go to Mass every Sunday for the rest of my life and give up dating and tequila.”

Miraculously, a parking place appeared.

She looked up again and said, “Never mind, God,  I found one.”

Get a load of the organization that says skunks make great pest!
People from as far away New Mexico and the Netherlands were in northern Ohio over the weekend, getting up close and personal with skunks. One skunk owner says some folks may not understand, but skunks make great pets and are soft and cuddly. She thinks having a rat or a lizard or a snake is weird.  Polecat enthusiasts gathered in North Ridgeville, about 25 miles southwest of Cleveland, for the sixth annual Skunkfest. The event raises money for Skunk Haven, a nonprofit group that saves and rehabilitates injured skunks. And, pet skunks compete in beauty, personality and costume contests. By the way, they all pass the sniff test, because those domesticated skunks are deodorized.

How can a grandmother give birth to her own grand son?? 
A woman in Southern California recently gave birth to her own grandson. 54-year-old Ruby Tejwani delivered Syrus Sonny Singh, since her daughter suffers from Lupus, so mom volunteered to be a surrogate mother for her daughter. Little Syrus was four weeks early and weighed just five pounds, six ounces.  Doctors say both grandmother and baby are doing well. The new mother says she is thrilled and and wouldn’t have trusted anyone else to carry her child.

Enjoy the irony with the Freak Files this morning:  A Car Designed To Thwart Thefts… Is Stolen!
Dallas police are investigating a glitch that resulted in the loss of one of their “bait” cars. Sometime between Friday and Monday, a car outfitted with cameras, tracking capabilities and a remote engine-kill system designed to catch auto thieves was stolen somewhere in Dallas – police would not say where. They would not identify the make and model of the car, so that if it is recovered, it can remain part of the undercover fleet.  It’s likely that the thieves do not know they have stolen a car that, if police can remotely repair the tracking glitch, auto theft detectives could still possibly locate.

BROTHER NAMES BABIES

A pregnant woman from Virginia was involved in a car accident and, while in the hospital, she fell into a coma.

When she awoke days later, the woman noticed that she was no longer carrying a child, and asked, “Doc, what happened to my baby!”

The doctor replied, “Ma’am, you’ve had twins! You’re the proud mother of a handsome baby boy and a beautiful baby girl. Also, you should know that while you were in a coma, your brother named the children for you.”

“Oh, no!” shrieked the woman. “Not my brother! He’s not really all together, if you know what I mean…he’s kind of a….well….redneck!”

The doctor replied, “Well, ma’am, you may not have anything to worry about…your brother named your daughter Denise.”

“Oh, that’s no so bad,” smiled the woman. Then she asked, “What’s the boy’s name?”

The doctor grinned and said, “Denephew.”

PETA UPSET WITH SIX FLAGS OVER ROACH- EATING PROMOTION
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals wants Six Flags Great America to scrap its Halloween-themed cockroach-eating promotion. A PETA spokeswoman says the bug- eating contest at the amusement park’s FrightFest is “gratuitously cruel.” For their part, amusement park officials are defending their menu choice, insisting that the bugs are nutritious, high in protein and fat free. The promotion offers unlimited line-jumping privileges to anyone who eats a live Madagascar hissing cockroach, which can grow up to three inches long.The contest begins next month.

BASEBALL PLAYER HITS HIS OWN WIFE WITH A FOUL BALL!!!
What are the odds? A baseball player hits his own WIFE with a foul ball? That’s exactly what Jay Gibbons of the Baltimore Orioles did. He hit a foul ball that injured his wife. The scene occurred in the ninth inning of the Baltimore Orioles’ game against Minnesota on Saturday. Gibbons fouled a ball straight back over the screen and into the rib cage of his wife, Laura. He says, “She’s just a little bruised up. She’s going to be OK.” Ironically, long before the matter became personal, Gibbons had asked team officials to do something about making it safer to sit in the seats behind the plate. He contended that the 20-foot screen just doesn’t offer enough protection from hard-hit foul balls.

Freak Accident at a “track and field” event
A SHOCKED athletics judge clutches her leg in agony — moments after a flying JAVELIN veered off course and pierced her foot. Horrified crowds gasped as the spear sailed through the air and impaled unsuspecting Lia Lourenco. Millions more saw the incident on national television while watching a warm-up session at the Trophy Brazil Athletics Championships in Sao Paolo on Sunday. Miss Lourenco was rushed to hospital with the 7ft javelin still attached. But she was recovering last night after a successful op to remove it. An onlooker said: “It was horrible seeing her get speared.”

Dr. Phil Agrees To A $10.8M In ‘Shape Up’ Settlement
TV personality Phil “Dr. Phil” McGraw agreed to a $10.8 million settlement of a class action lawsuit filed by people disappointed in his Shape Up! diet products. An attorney said a fund will be established in which thousands of eligible plaintiffs nationwide can choose from a supply of Nutrilite vitamins with minerals as replacements for the Shape Up! products, or $12.50 in cash.  The settlement costs will be paid for by insurance, meaning McGraw will have no out-of-pocket expenses. Shape Up! products included supplements and meal replacement products, including bars, shakes and ready-to-drink mixes. They’ve since been yanked from store shelves.

No Croc Hunter For Russell Crowe
A story that’s been circulating recently that actor Russell Crowe wants to star in a biopic about his late friend Steve Irwin AKA The Crocodile Hunter is not true. Crowe told the website ComingSoon.net, “There’s no truth to that whatsoever. That’s one of those appalling pieces of trash that come out of the press. While my friend’s body is still warm, I’m being accused of doing commerce over his grave, and it absolutely disgusts me.”  Crowe did add that, “Should there be a movie about Steve? For sure!!! What an incredible and unique life he led.”

Apparently “America’s Got Talent” Is Coming Back For Another Snooze-Filled Season
“America’s Got Talent” will hold auditions in eight cities for its second season, which will include a “boot camp” that gives some contestants the chance to work with experts. NBC said the $1 million-prize contest hosted by Regis Philbin is open to would-be stars in all fields, including music, dance and comedy.  The series is set to return at midseason on NBC, although an air date has yet to be announced. Executive Porducer, Simon Cowell said it would likely be back on in March. (BTW, Memphis in not one of the cities where auditions will be held.)

What’s the dirtiest…grossest thing that touches our lives every day? Its’ something just about every woman carries with her. While we may know what’s inside our purses, do you have any idea what’s on the outside? Health officials with the “Centers for Disease Control and Prevention” put purses to the test…and discovered that they were CRAWLING with bacteria’s like e-coli! Women carry purses everywhere, from the office to public restrooms to the floor of the car. What’s REALLY gross is some women will put their purses on the kitchen counters too….transferring all that gross bacteria to their cooking surfaces. Microbiologists say that nearly all purses are high is harmful kinds of bacteria that can cause eye infections, and serious skin infections! Leather or vinyl purses tended to be cleaner than cloth purses, and lifestyle seemed to play a role. People with kids tended to have dirtier purses than those without, with one exception. The purse of one single woman who frequented nightclubs had one of the worst contaminations of all.

What to do to “clean up” your purse:
Use hooks to hang your purse at home and in restrooms, and don’t put it on your desk, on a restaurant table, or on your kitchen countertop. Experts say you should think of your purse the same way you would a pair of shoes. Cleaning a purse will help, too! Wash cloth purses and use leather cleaner to clean the bottom of leather purses.

CHURCH SQUIRRELS

There were four country churches in a small Texas town…the Presbyterian Church, the Baptist Church, the Methodist Church, and the Catholic Church. Each church was overrun with pesky squirrels.

One day, the Presbyterian Church called a meeting to decide what to do about the squirrels. After much prayer and consideration they determined that the squirrels were predestined to be there and they shouldn’t interfere with God’s divine will.

In the Baptist Church, the deacons met and decided to put a cover on the baptism pool and drown the squirrels in it. But…the squirrels escaped somehow and there were twice as many there the next week.

The Methodist Church got together and decided that they were not in a position to harm any of God’s creations. So, they humanely trapped the squirrels and set them free a few miles outside of town. Three days later, the squirrels were back.

But — The Catholic Church came up with the best and most effective solution. They baptized the squirrels and registered them as members of the church. Now they only see them on Christmas and Easter.

Bounty Hunter Duane”Dog” Chapman Will Do Just About Anything To Stay Out Of Mexico
His lawyer says TV bounty hunter Duane “Dog” Chapman is ready to apologize and take other steps to avoid extradition to Mexico on illegal detention charges. Chapman, his son Leland and an associate on the popular A&E show “Dog The Bounty Hunter” were arrested and jailed last week in Hawaii. The charges against them stem from the capture of Max Factor-heir Andrew Luster in Mexico in 2003. Bounty hunting in Mexico is a crime. (Luster had fled the U.S. during his trial on rape charges. His capture in Mexico by Chapman’s group led to the reality series. Luster is now serving a 124 year prison term.) Chapman’s lawyer says the bounty hunter is willing to apologize, pay a fine, forfeit his Mexican bail and make a charitable contribution, but doesn’t want to go back.

Brad Pitt Denies The Obvious: Starring In ‘MI:4′
Brad Pitt has blown odd tabloid rumours that he’s set to replace Tom Cruise in the struggling Mission: Impossible franchise. Cruise has played agent Ethan Hunt in the action movies, but was fired by Paramount Studios last month after “Mission: Impossible III’s” poor box office takings and his “unacceptable conduct” off screen.  Brad Pitt was named as a potential savior for the fourth installment, but his rep said the report was “totally made up”.

‘Idol’ Will Charge $700K For A 30-Second AD
Fox’s “American Idol” once again takes the top prize as the most expensive show on television. Advertisers will pay a whopping $700,000 per 30-second spot for the Tuesday night edition of the singing show when it starts up again in January.  According to a survey of media buyers conducted by Advertising Age, this is the third year in row that “Idol” tops the charts as the priciest show in TV-land. The show’s big sponsors have been Coke, Ford and Cingular.  The Wednesday-night edition remains the second-most expensive, with prices ranging between $550,000 and $700,000.

Amusement park offers passes to cut to the front of ride lines through October 29th
Why wait in line when you can just eat a cockroach? That’s what Six Flags Great America will be asking thrill seekers during its Halloween-themed FrightFest. The amusement park is daring customers to eat a live Madagascar hissing cockroach in exchange for unlimited line-jumping privileges.  The promotion starts October 7th, but it has some health department officials shaking their heads. Park officials insist it’s safe to eat the crunchy critters, but health officials are cautioning participants that eating live roaches might increase risks of gastrointestinal illness and allergies.  Anyone who chows down the entire 2- to 3-inch horned cockroach gets a pass for four people to cut to the front of ride lines through October 29th.

“Happy” and HIGH Cows Give More Milk
Five farmers (in Romania) are being investigated after police discovered they were feeding cannabis to their cows. The farmers told officers the drug helped the cows produce more milk. The farmers claim they didn’t know they were doing something illegal by growing the drug in their field. One man claimed, “We grew it because the cows seemed to like it, and happy cows give more milk.”

THE FORTUNE TELLER

A woman goes to visit a fortune-teller.

In a dark and hazy room, peering into a crystal ball, the psychic delivered grave news. “There’s no easy way to say this, so I’ll just be blunt.  Prepare yourself to be a widow.  Your husband will die a violent and horrible death this year.”

Visibly shaken, the woman stares at the fortuneteller’s lined face, then at the single flickering candle, then down at her hands.

She took a few deep breaths to compose herself.

She simply had to know.

She met the fortuneteller’s gaze, steadied her voice, and asked her question:

“Will I be found guilty?”

GAS STATION OWNER VOWS TO SELL GAS FOR $1.49 A GALLON!!!
There could be a riot in South Philly today. A gas station operator who is concerned with pollution and high gas prices, says that he’s leaving the retail gasoline business, but wants to end his 23- year business by giving drivers a good deal on gas. So Dave Lalli plans to sell gas at his South Philadelphia Sunoco station for $1.49 a gallon from 5 p.m. Friday until he runs out.  He says, “When they come for the cheap gas, they’ll get some information explaining what we can do as a community.”

Good Samaritans Actually HELP With Car Theft! 
Good Samaritans in Mesa, Arizona pushed and even offered an impromptu driving lesson to a boy who was struggling to drive a car. The only problem was… the 14 year-old was actually stealing the vehicle! Seems the boy stopped in mid-getaway to ask for help, and at least 15 people responded! Amazingly, none of the would-be Good Samaritans realized that the vehicle was stolen or that the boy was underage.  Sgt. Dave Norton of the Phoenix police said, “It’s incredible that an entire neighborhood would participate in this comedy of errors.  His looks and size should have made bells and whistles go off in people’s minds.” But, obviously, they didn’t, leaving police to catch up with the boy after some other folks spotted him driving erratically and called 911. The teen was arrested, given citations, and released into the custody of his grandmother…

Wanna Get Paid Just For ‘Living’?
Almost every Alaskan will be $1,106.96 richer this year, thanks to the state’s oil royalty investment program. Gov. Frank Murkowski announced the amount of the checks… which have historically been anywhere from $331.29 to a record high of $1,963.86 in 2000. Alaskans have been getting checks through this program since 1982.

EVER LOVING HUSBAND

A man, his wife, and his ever-nagging mother in law went on vacation to Jerusalem.

While they were there, the mother-in-law passed away. The undertaker told the husband, “You can have her shipped home for $5,000, or you can bury her here, in the Holy Land, for $150.”

The man thought about it and told him he would just have her shipped home.

The undertaker asked, “Why would you spend $5,000 to ship your mother-in-law home, when it would be wonderful to be buried here and you would spend only $150?”

The man replied, “Long ago a man died here, was buried here, and three days later he rose from the dead. I just can’t take that chance.

It’s Probably Not A Good Idea To Open A Casino Where Gambling Is Illegal.
There’s one thing missing at a new Indian casino in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Unfortunately it’s gambling. It was mistakenly built in an area where gambling is illegal. The $36 million casino and hotel complex opened in June. It has restaurants, a lounge and an indoor pool, overlooking Lake Huron’s Horseshoe Bay. But its 29,000 sq. ft. casino with 800 slot machines and 26 gambling tables hasn’t been able to operate.  The government says part of the casino was built on land where Indian gambling is not allowed. Members of the Tribe of Chippewa Indians are debating who was responsible for the mistake, with the tribe’s current and former chairmen blaming each other.

An adopted woman searches the roots of her family tree and finds out she’s royalty!
A 22 year-old woman who was adopted two days after her first birthday, and grew up the youngest daughter in a close-knit family from Morgantown, W.Va…. decided to unlock the secrets of her past. So Sarah Culberson began searching for her birth parents. She hired a private investigator helped her locate her birth father, along with an unbelievable surprise. Sarah wasn’t an average suburban girl — she was a princess.  Her father was a ruling member of the Mende Tribe in Bumpe, Sierra Leone, living in Africa. By birthright, Sarah was royalty. She could one day be known as paramount chief in a country she’s never seen.

Teen graduates college in 1-year!
An 18 year-old attending the University of Virginia–with a double major just graduated in a single year! True, David Bahn was helped by the fact that the university accepted many of his Advanced Placement credits from high school and that he doubled up on course credits and even took more physics over the summer to finish up his second major…but still. It’s something that most people say they’ve never seen before.  What’s more….the cost of his college education was covered almost entirely by a patchwork of scholarships, and only ran him about $200 total. But wait–he sold back textbooks for more than that, so at this point, he’s technically even running a profit! Look for the little genius to next embark on his graduate studies at UVA…with a research grant, of course…

If you’re walking over a bridge and a $20.00 bill falls out of your hand would jump the rail and retrieve it?
A Florida man was counting his money while walking across the U.S. 41 bridge over the Manatee River when a $20 bill blew out of his hand and flew over the rail. He followed it. And fell 50 feet into the river. Then Mark Giorgio swam about 100 yards to fish the bill from the water. He was fished from the water by a passing Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officer. The man said, “I got my money back, hell yeah. Twenty bucks is a lot of money when you’re broke.”.

Its probably not a good idea to commit crimes in the same town that your dad is Chief of Police in, you think???
A STUPID CRIMINAL out of Allentown, Penn., James Cavallo Jr. is accused of robbing a convenience store in the Moore Township. James may have gotten away with the crime because no one recognized him. The problem is his old man, James Sr., is the town’s police chief and he recognized his son in a surveillance photo. The chief doesn’t want to disown his son for what he’s done, but he still believes he needs to answer for what he’s done. He also refuses to post bail for his boy.

You’ve heard of the Elephant Man, right? Well now there’s the Elephant Woman! Her legs are three times the size of her body!
A (British) woman suffering from an ‘Elephant Man’ condition says she gets taunted in the street by strangers. 31 year-old Mandy Sellars has Proteus Syndrome which has caused her legs to grow to three times the size of her body. Only around 120 people in the world suffer from the incurable disorder. Her top half is a petite size 12 but Mandy has a hard time lifting her legs, which are 35 inches in circumference. She told a British TV morning show, “Adults can be very hurtful. In a restaurant one blurted out ‘look at the size of those feet’. I don’t mind children staring, but adults should know better.”

GOING TO THE BIG CITY

A blonde from Nashville was visiting Memphis one weekend…and while walking along a busy street downtown she sees a sign in a store window which reads, “Suits $5.00 each, Shirts $2.00 each and Trousers $2.50 a pair.”

The blonde says, “Woo Hoo! I could buy a ton of those clothes, take them back with me to Nashville, and sell them to all our friends for a huge profit!! And they say BLONDES are dumb!  Humph!! ”

So, she goes into the store and says, “I’ll take 50 of the suits at $5.00 each, 100 the shirts at $2.00 each, and 50 pairs of pants at $2.50 each.”

The owner of the shop interrupts and says “Um…mam, we’re not a store….we’re dry-cleaners.”
