The CIA didn’t want to have to schlep bin Laden’s body all the way back to the states, so they gave him a one-way ticket to Davy Jones’ Locker.  If they thought he was hard to find, wait until they try to get the EPA to issue them a permit to pollute the Mediterranean.

Talk about hiding in plain sight.  Turns out Osama owned a rent-controlled flat in Greenwich Village, was on the short list to replace Regis, and recently completed a stint as a floor manager for Charlie Sheen.

Everyone was caught by surprise by the news of bin Laden’s sudden demise at the hands of Navy Seals.  It took Letterman over an hour to place an ad in the new York Times  announcing open auditions to replace him.

Two LAPD traffic control officers have been put on administrative leave for appearing, in uniform, in a porn film.  Actually, their faces weren’t identifiable, but a city Health Department doctor recognized them from their pre-employment physicals.

According to the latest actuarial statistics, there are now 72,000 centenarians alive in the U.S., a number expected to increase seven-fold by 2030.  The down side is there will be only two programs on TV by then -- reruns of “Murder She Wrote” and “Lawrence Welk.”

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.
