MEMORIAL DAY

Auckland, New Zealand health officials were called recently when casino employees became the victims of an unexplained flea infestation.  The problem came to light when a croupier manning a craps table noticed the dots on the dice were moving.

Officials in Athens are scrambling to avoid a complete collapse of the Greek economy and the bargain-hunters are lining up.  Economists predict that in the event of bankruptcy, the Olympic Games will have to be sold for ten cents on the gold medal.

Supermodel Estella Warren faces charges in LA of driving under the influence.  According to the arresting officers, she was definitely drunk --  when asked, she couldn’t touch her nose with her eyes closed or walk a straight runway.

Dubbed by most movie critics in need of an AA meeting, “Hangover II,” is being placed firmly on the “don’t bother” list.  There are still plenty of blackouts and blinding headaches, but this time they’re in the audience.  

McDonald’s is reformulating their grilled chicken sandwich after sample tasters reported that it was “too Italian.”  McDonald’s has been careful to avoid acquiring an ethnic identity ever since the disastrous debut of the “McSushi and Seaweed Kabobs.” .

WakiLeaks: History Declassified 2000 (Vol. One) is now available on Kindle for $2.99

Compiled from Bob's newsletter "Funnyside Up" published in 2000.

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.
