For the first time, the Army is designing uniforms specifically for women.  Now our fashion savvy GI Jane will feel equally stylish on KP or shopping in the PX, or handcuffed to an MP after going AWOL with PMS.

November will see the debut of the new ABC series “Skating With the Stars.”  It’s a lot like “Dancing With the Stars.”  In the opener, Tonya Harding does the cha-cha on Nancy Kerrigan’s shins with a tire iron.

The Vatican newspaper has announced that the Simpsons are secret Catholics.  They say Homer claimed they were “Presbylutherans” after Father Sacristy banished Bart from the altar boy program for answering in Klingon instead of Latin.

Travel agents in London are booking passengers for a 7-night all-naked cruise.  They’ll sail on the maiden voyage of Cunard’s latest luxury liner, the HMS Princess Fergie wearing see-thru life jackets.

China recently staged war games in the Pacific targeting remote islands with their long-range missiles.  The Pentagon says not to worry, but a deckhand on a passing trawler swears he heard shouts of  “Tora! Tora! Tora!”

"Having spent twenty years writing for the indefatigable Bob Hope, and traveling all over the world, Bob Mills is well qualified to salute the famous corps of gag men who kept the comedian knee-deep in jokes.

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.
