The 3,000-passenger Carnival Splendor was towed to Ensanada, Mexico after an engine room fire disabled the kitchen.  The survivors subsisted on what was left of the Midnight Buffet cut into 3,000 pieces and by licking the water slide.

General Motors has retired their beloved Mr. Goodwrench who’s been sent to Miami’s “Easy Living” 'Toon Retirement Village where he’ll join long-term residents the Man From Glad, Mr. Clean, and the Tidy Bowl Man.

Under the TSA’s new guidelines, palm-backward pat-down searches are now allowed on clothed breasts and genitalia.  That’s all male travelers need to hear from a smart-mouth female screener -- a backhanded compliment.
