Retiree Carl Smith is a golf ace -- in
fact a double ace. He sunk consecutive holes-in-one at a
Charleston, W.Va. golf course this week. He scored his first ace on
the 70-yard 18th hole. After a short snack break, Smith teed it up
again. He watched as his tee shot bounced twice before disappearing
in the cup. But he's not wasting much time celebrating. Smith's in
a weekly bowling league on Wednesdays.
I like the fact that he took a snack break in between, Now thats funny!

An unwelcomed visitor in an Arizona bar caused quite a commotion Tuesday night. According to azfamily.com, a bobcat entered a bar and attacked three people in the town of Cottonwood. The cat's entrance caused bar patrons to flee for safety on top of pool tables and bar stools. Unfortunately, not everyone was able to stay safe, as one man states, quote, "My friend got down with his camera phone and the cat jumped up and hit him in the face." The bobcat eventually left the bar, but was subsequently shot and killed by Cottonwood police. To make matters worse, tests later showed that the wild animal was rabid. Those injured inside the bar are currently undergoing treatment for rabies.

A drive-thru lane at the bank sure is
convenient. Even for a robber. Police in Pharr, Texas, report a man
used the drive-thru lane to stick up the Lone Star National Bank.
Police say the driver slipped a note to a teller, who then handed
over an undetermined amount of cash. Officers aren't revealing what
was in the note. Police say they're reviewing surveillance video
and are searching for the man in the car.
The teller gave the robber the money?
Why didn't the teller just say no..........AND DUCK!
Am I the only one to think of this?

We've all at one time or another been locked
out of our house or car, right? Well, Russia's state-run Vesti-24
television has reported on a lighter moment in yesterday's space
station evacuation as a precaution against the possibility a piece
of space junk might hit it. Apparently the crew members left an
instruction manual behind and commander Mike Fincke had to be told
by Mission Control how to go about getting back into the station.
The space station crew took shelter in a Russian capsule parked at
the outpost.
This is one of my favorite stories we have aired in the past couple of weeks!
Can you imagine, the feeling this guy got when he reached for the latch to get back in and
it didn't work? Then the embarrassment of having to make "the call" back to mission control
to get instructions.
Probably no lonelier feeling....than being locked out of anything......

An angry chimpanzee in a Swedish zoo has helped to prove a scientific theory. According to the U.K.'s "Sky News," Santino the chimp's aggressive behavior toward people proves that apes can plan ahead like humans. Everyday before the zoo opens, Santino begins collecting rocks to toss at people visiting the zoo. The fact that Santino collects the rocks while he is calm, only to throw them hours later after he becomes agitated, cemented the researcher's theory. Swedish PhD student Mathias Osvath explains, quote, "It implies that they have a highly developed consciousness, including lifelike mental simulations of potential events."
There are many days when I come to work, I feel like picking up some rocks, and put them in my pocket for later use. so far I have refrained

a blood alcohol level over the legal limit. He's been charged with

A GREAT IDEA!!!!!
The pizza's on the house -- the firehouse.
A fire truck will be delivering Domino's Pizza in Fonddu Lac, Wis., this Friday.
If the firefighters find a working smoke detector in the home, the pizza will be free.
Firefighters will also install smoke detectors in the homes that don't have them, but
the pizza will be full price. Domino's is donating a percentage of
profits and driver tips to a firefighters' charity.
I would love to see this happen in more places!
Baggy pants aren't just a fashion
statement for one airline passenger. Authorities charge Paul Francis Smith
had nearly four and a-half pounds of cocaine strapped
to his legs under a pair of baggy jogging pants. Smith was busted
at John Wayne Airport in Southern California after being patted
down by a security screener. Authorities say the cocaine is worth
about $60,000. Now, Smith's bail is set at a-half million.
Where has this guy been? After 9-11 you can't even take a bottle of water on a plane.
What makes him think, you can take that amount of cocaine with you!!!!!

Something is bugging Nevada school kids -- the
lack of a state insect. Now, a class of fourth-graders from Las
Vegas is nominating the Vivid Dancer damselfly to be the official
state bug. The kids from Beauty Elementary School write in their
essay that the damselfly contributes to the economy and quality of
life of Nevada. The kids note their favorite bug eats mosquitoes
and other pests. It's a pretty blue bug with transparent silvery
wings. Now, it's up to the state Legislature to make the final
decision on an official bug.
Chasity also mentioned a Student in Missouri is trying to get the
Missouri River recognized as the official state waterway.
I think this is all fine when times are good, however right now I would like
for our government to FOCUS on the 890 gazillion dollar deficit and bail out
plan.
After that is done, then we can focus on things like Making Scott Powell the

Mistake one: Trying rob a convenience store.
Mistake two: Using your cash card during the holdup.
Police in Charleston, W.Va., charge Shawn Thomas Lester told a store clerk
he had a gun and wanted all the money in the register. But officers
say Lester got nervous when a customer walked in. And the clerk
told Lester he had to pay for his soda. According to police, the
would-be bandit handed over his debit card, then signed the receipt
"John Doe." He left without taking any money. Police traced the
cash card to Lester, who's now being charged with armed robbery. He
claims he was only joking.
Really...If you had made the stupid mistakes that this guy did....wouldn't you also you were only joking to cover your tracks?
