Police arrested a man after they mistook his MP3 player for a gun. Oddly, the man was listening to "The Best of .38 Special"
It was actually Nikola Tesla who invented the radio, not Guglielmo Marconi. Marconi, however, is still credited with creating the phrase, "Congratulations, you're the fifth caller."
The Good News: A seventy-one year old laid-off factory worker bought a lottery ticket at a BP gas station and won $250,000. The Bad News: That's how much it cost to fill up the tank of his truck.
The Bing Crosby Joke of The Week
A woman who doesn't know much about fishing goes to a sporting goods store to
buy a rod and reel for her grandson. She grabs one off the rack and asks the
clerk for his opinion. The clerk says, "I'm blind, but if you drop it on the
counter, I can tell you everything you need to know by the sound it makes." So
she does. "That's a six-foot Shakespeare graphite rod with a Zebco 404 reel and
a 10 lb test line," says the clerk, "It's a very good combo, and it's on sale
for only twenty bucks." "It's amazing you can tell all that by the sound it
makes" exclaims the grandma, "I'll take it." She reaches for her credit card and
drops it on the floor. "It's a MasterCard" proclaims the clerk. When she goes
to pick it up, she passes gas. She's embarrassed, but convinces herself that the
blind clerk won't know that she is responsible. "That will be $38.50." says the
clerk. Confused by the new total, she asks, "I thought you said I owed you
$20?" "Yes ma'am, the rod and reel are $20," answers the clerk, "and the duck
call and the catfish bait are an extra $18.50!"
