WATCH YOUR HEAD…TROUT ARE FALLING
It’s raining trout in Colorado. The state Division of Wildlife is stocking hundreds of lakes with 325,000 trout dropped from airplanes. The planes get within 125 feet of the lake surface before releasing the fish so they don’t dry out before they hit the water.  The fish are dropped from a hopper mounted on the plane’s

HOLY WATER BANNED FROM AIRPORTS

Earlier this week, a group of Catholic pilgrims, who’d just filled up bottles of holy water at the Our Lady of Lourdes Cathedral in France, tried to get on a plane to Rome.  And they were all told they couldn’t bring more than three ounces of holy water onboard.  These people were the first people to fly on a new airline, called Mistral Air, which was built to fly people to and from different Catholic pilgrimage destinations. Mistral Air is going to start regular service next year…and to make sure this doesn’t happen again, they’re going to pre-bottle holy water for their fliers, and have it waiting for them on their seats when they board the planes.

AN ELEPHANT BREAKS INTO A CIRCUS

There’s a 26-year-old wild bull elephant in Raniganj, in eastern India, who is a PLAYA!!!  On Wednesday, said wild bull elephant SMASHED through the tin walls of a circus that was in Raniganj…so he could get into the stable where the circus kept their trained, tamed performance elephants.  Once he was inside, he managed to quickly SEDUCE a female elephant, named Savitri.  . . AND get her to RUN AWAY with him.  They left the circus together, and, according to people who saw them, they were, quote, “much in love.”  There are only two problems.  One:  Losing an elephant costs the circus owner a lot…Savitri is worth an estimated $9,700.  And two:  Apparently, Savitri was very close with another female elephant in the circus…and since she ditched her friend to run off with a guy, that other female elephant has been moping and refusing to perform.

DAVID BECKHAM WILL BE ON THE BENCH AGAIN: 
The DAVID BECKHAM Experiment continues to be an ABJECT FAILURE.  Beckham…still recovering from an ankle injury…sprained his KNEE 33 minutes into a match for the L.A. Galaxy yesterday.  He’s out for another six weeks.  And Galaxy lost 4 to 3, if you care.  The earliest Beckham could return is mid-October.  By that time, the Galaxy will only have THREE games left in the regular season.  With their record at 3-10-5, there’s not much hope of making the playoffs.

THE WWE SUSPENDS 10 WRESTLERS
The WWE announced yesterday that it had suspended 10 wrestlers for violating the company’s “wellness policy”…a.k.a. its DRUG policy.  The WWE said it handed out the suspensions based on independent information received by the District Attorney’s office in Albany, New York.  It’s not clear what the Albany connection is, but the suspended wrestlers apparently showed up on a list of clients of Signature Pharmacy in Orlando, Florida.  Signature had been busted in February for distributing steroids and other prescription drugs illegally.  We have a list of 15 supposed clients of Signature on the WWE roster…10 of which MAY be the ones suspended.  They include:  Randy Orton, Edge, Batista, Booker T, Mr. Kennedy, Umaga, Chavo Guerrero, John Morrison, Chris Masters, Shane Helms, Charlie Haas, William Regal, Santino Marella, Simon Dean, Funaki.

A MAN IN GERMANY WINS A FREAKY LAWSUIT
Several months ago, a man in Koblenz, in western Germany…whose name hasn’t been released…was having brain surgery at a hospital.  The doctors had to SAW OFF the top of the guy’s head, and put it in cold storage while they operated on his brain.  BUT…it turned out their refrigerator was BROKEN…so the top of the guy’s head and his skull just sat there, for hours, at room temperature.  That KILLED them…and the doctors ended up having to give the guy a new, plastic, prosthetic top of the head.  From that day on, the guy started having terrible headaches…he had trouble with balance…and, for some reason, he says he was, quote, “unduly sensitive to the weather.”  So he sued the hospital for $27,300.  This week, he WON his lawsuit…but the court found that the brain surgery, NOT the fake plastic skull, was the reason for his problems…so they knocked the money down to only $4,100.

OLD WOMAN SMOKES
An iron-lunged South London woman has celebrated her 100th birthday by lighting up her 170,000th cigarette from a candle on her birthday cake. The 100-year-old started smoking only days after the First World War broke out in June 1914 when she was just seven-years-old – and has gone through five a day ever since.  She has no intention of quitting, “I have smoked ever since infant school and I have never thought about quitting. There were not all the health warnings like there are today when I started. It was the done thing.”Smoking granny

THE WEIRDEST, FREAKIEST FUNERAL YOU’VE EVER HEARD OF IN YOUR LIFE!
Freaky Funeral:  For most of his adult life, Britain’s Leslie Wright was a delivery courier. So when he passed away recently at the ripe old age of 71, his loved ones wanted to make sure he remained a courier even in the afterlife. So, they shipped his body to his funeral in a coffin-shaped cardboard box inside his old delivery van. The box was marked just like a packing crate, stamped “fragile,” “this way up” and “handle with care.” Inside was Leslie, dressed in his work uniform of burgundy pants and jacket with a white T-shirt. When the box arrived at the crematorium, his family even got the funeral director to sign a form, in duplicate, accepting delivery of the remains. And the address on the box? “Cloud 9, Peace and Quiet Road, Heaven, Near Scotland.”

WEIRD DUI:
A little over a week ago, 55-year-old Edwin Marzinske of Abbotsford, Wisconsin, was out having a few drinks with his friend, 43-year-old Harvey Miller… who doesn’t have any legs.  When it was time to go home… somehow, these two guys thought THIS would be a good idea.  They piled into Edwin’s 1985 Chevrolet truck… Edwin was in the driver’s seat, working the pedals… and Harvey SAT ON HIS LAP, handling the steering.  Believe it or not, they were SWERVING and driving erratically…and a cop ended up pulling them over.  And, since they were both participating in the driving… BOTH guys got hit with DUIs.  In their drunken logic, they thought they’d found a legal loophole:  Since NEITHER of them was totally operating the vehicle… they thought they’d both be immune to DUIs. Even though Harvey has NO LEGS… this was his THIRD drunk driving offense.  It was Edwin’s second.

AD CAMPAIGN INADVERTENTLY PROMOTES VIOLENT STREET GANGS!

It was a bad week last week for the state of Virginia.  Part of their “Live Passionately” ad campaign included a logo with a pair of human hands using thumbs and forefingers to form a heart shape.  Sounds innocent enough, but it happens to be the gang sign of Chicago’s notorious Gangster Disciples!!!  Certainly the state didn’t mean to promote one of America’s most violent street gangs.  “Obviously, this is disappointing, said Alisa Bailey of the state tourism office.

APPARENTLY, OWEN WILSON *DID* TRY TO COMMIT SUICIDE:
It looks like OWEN WILSON did try to kill himself.  On their log for Sunday, Santa Monica Police have the call listed as a, quote, “suicide attempt”.  We still don’t know WHY Owen wanted to take his own life, but the “New York Post” claims he did it right after, quote, “a vicious quarrel with an unidentified friend.”  Meanwhile, a so-called “source” told the “Post” that Owen’s troubles really had nothing to do with ex-girlfriend KATE HUDSON and her new boyfriend, DAX SHEPARD, being seen publicly making out over the weekend.

GROWING UP AND USING “BIG PEOPLE WORDS”

A class of kindergartners was trying very hard to become accustomed to the first grade.

The biggest hurdle they faced was that the teacher insisted on  “NO baby talk!”

“You need to use ‘Big People’ words,” she was always reminding them.

She asked Chris what he had done over the weekend.

“I went to visit my Nana.”

“No, you went to visit your GRANDMOTHER. Use ‘Big people’ words!”

She then asked Mitchell what he had done.

Mitchell said, “I took a ride on a choo-choo.”

To which the teacher replied, “No, you took a ride on a TRAIN. You must remember to use ‘Big People’ words.”

She then asked little Alex what he had done.

“I read a book,” he replied.

That’s WONDERFUL!” the teacher said. “What book did you read?”

Alex thought real hard about it, then puffed out his little chest with great pride, and said, “Winnie the CRAP.”

OWEN WILSON ISSUED A STATEMENT YESTERDAY
OWEN WILSON issued a statement yesterday that, predictably, tells us NOTHING about what happened on Sunday.  He said, quote, “I respectfully ask that the media allow me to receive care and heal in private during this difficult time.”  Both the “Star” and the “National Enquirer” claim Owen tried to kill himself by cutting his wrists and taking some pills. Yesterday, “Extra” took a “slight” leap in logic and tried to connect Owen’s alleged depression to the end of his relationship with KATE HUDSON.  They said that all of this happened, quote, “just hours after [Kate] and her reported new boyfriend, comedian DAX SHEPARD, were spotted kissing at a grocery store in nearby Pacific Palisades.”

Anyone who watches the VH1 reality show “Hogan Knows Best” knows that NICK HOGAN is a serious speed demon.  In fact Nick has been popped for speeding FOUR TIMES since last September.  His most recent bust came just over two weeks ago, on August 10th, when he was clocked doing 85 in a 45 miles per hour CONSTRUCTION ZONE…at 10:30 A.M., while workers were on the job.

THE TEXAS STATE FAIR ONCE AGAIN EXPANDS OUR MINDS AS TO WHAT KINDS OF FOOD YOU CAN DEEP FRY:
If there’s one state’s fair that is always on the cutting edge of deep frying…it’s Texas’. And this year is NO EXCEPTION. The Texas State Fair is the birthplace of the corn dog (–in 1942). Last year, the fair’s annual Big Tex Choice Awards cooking contest introduced us to DEEP FRIED COKE and PRALINES. And this year, all seven award finalists are deep fried…#1.)

Last year, the people of Texas…God bless ‘em…spent more than $26 MILLION on food and rides at the State Fair; on October 7th alone, they spent $2.5 MILLION at the State Fair…just on food.

STUPID CRIMINALS!!!
“Let’s see. Weapon? Check. Ski mask? Check. Lucky underpants? Check. Angry tough guy face? Check. Well looks like I’m all set for that bank robbery. According to the Associated Press, a bank robber fled the scene of a robbery in Michigan because he didn’t bring a bag to carry the money. The suspect entered the bank wearing a disguise and handed the teller a cardboard note that instructed her to give him all the money. It should be noted the note was written in crayon. The robber told the teller to hurry up and when the teller asked if he had a bag to put the money in, he got flustered and took off without the loot. Apparently, he had a hard time deciding between paper and plastic.

THE DENVER BRONCOS’ TRAVIS HENRY SAYS HIS $25 MILLION CONTRACT ISN’T ENOUGH TO PAY HIS NINE BABY MAMAS:
According to a report in the “Atlanta Journal-Constitution”, Travis Henry has NINE children with NINE different baby mamas in Florida, North Carolina, Tennessee and Georgia!!! He pays child support to seven of them. Oh, by the way…he’s only 28 years old. He has a $25 MILLION contract…but, apparently, because of his ridiculous spending, he’s having trouble paying all of his child support on time. One example: Earlier this year, Henry got a $1 MILLION bonus…but even though he was behind on child support, he bought a new Mercedes and a bunch of gold jewelry. This week, a judge in Atlanta decided that Henry couldn’t be trusted with his money…so he’s requiring Henry to put at least $250,000 in a child support trust fund by the spring. BTW, Henry’s lawyer says, “he’s a really committed father.”

RECYCLED PARROT

A woman went to a pet shop and immediately spotted a large, beautiful parrot.  There was a sign on the cage that said $50.00.

“Why so little?” she asked the pet store owner.

The owner looked at her and said, “Look, I should tell you first that this bird used to live in a house of ill repute…and sometimes it says some pretty vulgar stuff.”

The woman thought about this, but decided she had to have the bird anyway.

She took it home and hung the bird’s cage up in her living room and waited for it to say something.

The bird looked around the room, then at her, and said,  “New house, new madam.”

The woman was a bit shocked at the implication, but then thought “that’s really not so bad.”

When her two teenage daughters returned from school, the bird saw them and said,
“New house, new madam, new girls.”

The girls and the woman were a bit offended but then began to laugh about the situation considering how and where the parrot had been raised.

Moments later, the woman’s husband, Keith, came home from work.

The bird looked at him and said, “Hi Keith.”

In 1969, 21-year-old Mike Flynt was a linebacker on the football team at Sul Ross State University in western Texas.  Before his senior year in 1971, he was kicked off the team for getting into a fight.  Now, he’s 59.  And, a few months ago, he was sitting around with his friends from the team, talking about their biggest regrets.  Mike said his was getting thrown off the team.  One of his friends said that if it bothered him that much, he should do something about it.  So…Mike did.  With one year of athletic eligibility left, he RE-ENROLLED at Sul Ross…and went out for the football team.  And here’s the amazing part:  Yesterday, his coach announced that he was good enough to MAKE THE TEAM.  He may even play in their opening game, on September 1st, against Texas Lutheran.  He’s in incredible shape…he’s eight years older than his new coach…and he’s got two kids who are older than any of his teammates.  The coach hasn’t said what position Mike will play on the team.

A GUY WINS $150,000 FOR HIS BOSS MAKING RACIAL SLURS. 

On Tuesday, 48-year-old Mark Pasternak of Buffalo, New York, got a $150,000 judgment in federal court, as he successfully sued his former company and boss for racial discrimination.  The twist?  Mark is WHITE.  Back in 1999, he worked for the New York State Office of Children and Family Services.  He says he was having huge trouble at work because his boss, Tommy Baines, who is black, called him things like “cracker”, “polack” and “stupid white boy”.  Eventually, he was dismissed from his job.  So he sued for racial discrimination.  It’s VERY rare that white people win reverse racism cases…most of them are settled or dismissed before they go to trial…and, if they DO go to trial, the settlements aren’t usually as high as $150,000.  Baines never denied making the comments.
