Lacking real weapons, the Egyptian rioters are attacking the Army with anything they can lay their hands on -- sticks, bottles, stones.  Yesterday, a corporal was winged by an unemployed belly dancer‘s castanet.

New York City will soon lay off 15,000 teachers.  But they may not be  unemployed for long.  The NFL has announced it will conduct job interviews for qualified tutors to teach the new crop of draft picks how to read.

Animal rights activists threatened to picket a Tucson restaurant owner who announced he would serve lion meat tacos.   The story gets even worse.  Turns out he bought the lion from MGM who had to auction off their mascot to avoid bankruptcy.

A convict serving time in a South Carolina prison had his cell phone confiscated when guards found him using it to update his Facebook page.  Facebook is the last thing you’d think someone in prison would need -- another wall.

Longtime Grand Ol’ Oprey regular Charlie Louvin strummed his final chords at age 83.  In his honor, all the price tags on Minnie Pearl’s hat display were lowered to half-staff.

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.
