be "meetings."

messenger, a person on cable TV with a bad hairstyle.
- You should not confuse your career with your life.
- No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously.

individual is crazy.

- The most powerful force in the universe is gossip.

- The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside,
we ALL believe that we are above average drivers.
- The main accomplishment of almost all organized protests is to annoy people who are not in them.

canisters, officers discovered that the man was standing beside them, shouting out to give himself up.

then proceeded to withdraw money from his own bank account.
- Fire investigators on Maui have determined the cause of a blaze that destroyed a $127,000 home last month a short in the homeowner's newly
installed fire prevention alarm system. "This is even worse than last year," said the distraught homeowner, "when someone broke in and stole my new security system..."
- A man walked into a Topeka, Kansas Kwik Shop and asked for all the money in the cash drawer. Apparently, the take was too small so he tied up the
store clerk and worked the counter himself for three hours until police showed up and grabbed him.
- In Ohio, an unidentified man in his late twenties walked into a police station with a 9-inch wire protruding from his forehead and calmly asked
officers to give him an X-ray to help him find his brain, which he claimed had been stolen. Police were shocked to learn that the man had drilled a 6-inch deep hole in his skull with a Black
& Decker power drill and had stuck the wire in to try and find the missing brain.
- Police in Los Angeles had good luck with a robbery suspect who just couldn't control himself during a lineup. When detectives asked each man in

- A bank robber in Virginia Beach got a nasty surprise when a dye pack designed to mark stolen money exploded in his Fruit-of-the-Looms. The robber
apparently stuffed the loot down the front of his pants as he was running out the door. "He was seen hopping and jumping around with an explosion taking place inside his pants," said police
spokesman Mike Carey. Police have the man's charred trousers in custody.
- A man spoke frantically into the phone, "My wife is pregnant and her contractions are only two minutes apart!" "Is this her first child?" the
doctor asked. "No, you idiot!" the man shouted, "this is her husband!"

to simulate a gun but unfortunately he failed to keep his hand in his pocket.
- A nurse was on duty in the emergency department, when a punk rocker entered. This young woman had purple hair styled into a Mohawk, a variety of
tattoos and strange clothing. It was determined that the patient had acute appendicitis and was scheduled for immediate surgery. When she was completely disrobed on the operating table, the
staff found that her pubic hair had been dyed green, and above it was a tattoo reading, "Keep off the grass." After the prep and the surgery, the surgeon added a small note to the dressing
which said, "Sorry, had to mow the lawn."
