Singing the National Anthem at the Super Bowl, Christina Aguilera inserted her own version of "O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming.“  Could have been worse.  During rehearsal, she kept singing “On to K-Mart we marched, so valiantly shopping.”  

In honor of the Gipper’s 100th birthday, the Ronald Reagan Library in Simi, CA is offering a cookbook featuring his favorite recipes.  The instructions never include sprinkling, basting or drizzling -- in every recipe, you have to wait for the seasonings to “trickle down.”

Muslim worshipers at Jerusalem’s Rock on the Temple Mount recently thought they saw a UFO land and depart.  Evidence of extraterrestrials included satellite data, scorch marks in the grass and a line of Reese’s Pieces leading to the mother ship.
     
After an investigation in Belfast, 135 patients treated at the School of Dentistry at the Royal Victoria Hospital were misdiagnosed by an oral medicine professor.  People everywhere were shocked.  Who knew there was a school of dentistry anywhere in the UK?

Entomologists from Arizona State University used heavy metal rock to prevent bark beetles from mating and destroying trees.  They first tried the Beatles, but that made them not only mate but destroy the trees while singing “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds.”

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.
