French scientists recently determined that champagne should be poured down the side of the glass like beer to preserve its flavor and effervescence.  Watch for a new ad slogan:  “It’s Dom Perignon time!”      

According to a report issued by the U.S. Inspector General, there are now 854,000 employees of the federal government who have been issued a top-secret intelligence clearance.  As for actual intelligence, estimates range between 57 and 73  -- and 24 of those are “iffy.”

A Swedish motorist driving a Mercedes SLS AMG was fined $1 million, believed to be the largest fine ever assessed, for being clocked at 180 miles per hour.  But it gets even worse -- he also owed $127 in unpaid parking tickets.

During the past two years, according to the FAA, the U.S. airline industry has lost 56,000 employees -- 38% were laid off, 27 % retired, and 65% disappeared down the emergency escape chute.

California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has a role in the weekend’s box office winner “The Expendables.”  Not to be confused with the sequel in which he’ll play an over-the-hill super-hero with incontinence issues called “The Depenables.”

WakiLeaks: History Declassified 2000 (Vol. One) is now available on Kindle for $2.99

Compiled from Bob's newsletter "Funnyside Up" published in 2000. This is a yuck and chuckle-filled stroll down memory lane to a time before the Bush administration had inflicted its damage -- a time before the search for WMDs and Osama bin Laden. See what we were laughing at back then, who was in the news and who had yet to enter rehab -- which NFL stars had yet to do time in the Gray Bar Hotel.
