April 9th 2007

Hole in one
A 102-year-old woman became the oldest golfer ever to make a hole-in-one on a regulation course. Unfortunately, it was not the ball that she got in; it was her denture that flew away with the swing.

Corruption
According to this year's world corruption rankings by the nonprofit watchdog group Transparency International, the U.S. is the 20th LEAST corrupt country in the world. The US was at the top of the list but Dick Cheney slipped some money under the table.

Pilot
A Northwest Airlines flight from Las Vegas to Detroit was cancelled after the pilot started cursing on his cell phone and then at passengers. Apparently the pilot woke up from the alcohol buzz and realized he was a pilot for Northwest Airlines.

Beatles
Record label EMI is suing a cleaning company after one of its employees allegedly disposed of $1.37 million worth of rare Beatles' photos. Apparently, the cleaning lady got rid of the only picture where Paul is kissing Yoko and the only picture where Ringo is playing drums in the recording studio.

Wrong one
An Air Force veteran has filed a federal claim after an operation at a Veterans Administration hospital in which a healthy testicle was removed instead of a potentially cancerous one. The doctor apologized and as a nice gesture colored the testicle and gave it back to it’s owner for Easter.

Firefighter
A volunteer firefighter who was found at a park wearing a woman’s wig and a bikini was arrested on charges of indecency. Officials who spotted the firefighter said he seemed to be on duty because he was carrying the hose with him.

A volunteer firefighter who was found at a park wearing a woman’s wig and a bikini was arrested on charges of indecency. There goes the only firefighter that still supports Giuliani.

Easter Hunt
Several Republican presidential candidates celebrated Easter yesterday. This year instead of an egg they decided to hide President Bush.

Immigration
The White House drafted a new immigration reform that would allow illegal immigrant workers to apply for a green card if the pay $10,000 dollars. For that amount I hope the Green card also comes with the Green Jacket from the Augusta Golf Tournament.
