The American Heart Association warns that teens should cut down on their salt intake to avoid high blood pressure.  Good luck.  Mention hypertension to the average teen and he’ll say “Oh, are they on tour?”

Again last week, disaster hit the set of Broadway‘s “Spiderman” when a cast member dropped 30 feet into the orchestra pit.  The theater now posts a color-coded threat level warning over the marquee.

A recent survey shows that 36% of children under twelve own a smart phone.  Yesterday, I saw a bumper sticker that said “My Kid’s Smart Phone Made the Honor Roll at St. Patrick’s Elementary.”

Doctors warn that children exposed to incense in the home face a greater risk of asthma.  Makes sense.  The average tech support operator at Microsoft loses 13 workdays a year due to second-hand incense.

Reality chef Juan Carlos Cruz, serving nine years for hiring a hit man to kill his wife, is adapting well to prison life.  Already, he’s authored an inmate cookbook entitled “101 Ways to Prepare Slop.”

BOB HOPE'S 1983 U.S. COLLEGE CAMPUS TOUR: Your Alma Mater Here?


"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. These first-hand recollections summon up the final phase of Hope’s career—and the end of the trail for an entire brand of show business."

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.
