Barack Obama required twelve stitches on his lip after being injured while playing pick-up basketball with friends.  The  Secret Service agent closest to him resigned in disgrace, charged with refusing to take an elbow for the president.

Three teenage boys from  an island off the coast of New Zealand were adrift in a rowboat for six weeks, surviving on nothing but one raw fish, a seagull and rainwater.  Out of habit, Carnival Cruise Lines sent them a check for $5000 and an apology.

Responding to the public’s accusations of unnecessary groping by their employees, the TSA issued a warning to all male travelers to report any agent who asks you to turn your head and cough.      

The FDA has banned all ingredients in artificial marijuana, warning users that the substances can cause nausea, dizziness, death and worse, an insatiable desire to wear polyester.

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.
