If you don't have children, none of this should make sense.
But even the concept of a Saturday night, when you don't have kids, you're like,
Saturday!
And when you're a parent, you're like, who can we pay to come to this house?
Watch this child and your standards drop so dramatically.
Initially, they should have a PhD and then you're like, well, how long were they in jail?
Murder, it wasn't children, right?
Any parent will tell you that, like, having children has enriched their lives.
It's exposed them to things they never thought they'd do.
Like, kids, just, you end up doing things you never thought you'd do.
Like, for me, going outside, you ever go outside with real little kids?
You don't even know what to do with them.
You're like, well, I normally just drink out here.
Who wants to play a game of nap?
Look at what's happened to me here
I can't believe it myself
Suddenly I'm above top of the world
It should have been somebody else
Believe it or not, I'm walking on air
I never thought I'd feel so free
I am the way, all the way, and the prayer
Who could it be?
Believe it or not, it's just me
Remember that TV show, The Greatest American Hero?
You know, you look back at some of those old shows
From the 60s and early 70s, like Here Come The Brides
And The Greatest American Hero, a great theme song from those shows
But they look so corny by today's standards for some reason
Believe it or not, I'm walking on air
I don't think you're either one of those shows as a syndication
Here Come The Brides
And The Greatest American Hero, I don't think so
They're great theme songs, but I can't see them anyway
A show that I never watched in the 1960s was on ABC called The Iron Horse
It was on for one season with Dale Robertson
Remember that show The Iron Horse?
I didn't see it, it was too late
I didn't see it, it was too little at the time
But one of those networks up on the 900s on the cable system
Heroes and icons, something like that
They ran it for a while, then they stopped
I liked it, it was a good show
It was about this rich guy who built a railroad
It was a good show, but can't find it on DVD anywhere
It was never put out on DVD, can't find it on streaming
Can't find it on streaming, can't run it anywhere
Believe it or not, I'm walking on air
I never thought I could feel so free
I'm riding away on a wing and a path
Believe it or not, I'm walking on air
Okay, how'd you do with the snow?
There was nothing on the sidewalks this morning
There was a street
I was ready for, you know, let's start shoveling get the plows out
There was nothing
Where I lived, the sidewalks were, I lived a, you know
Not far from the lake in Racine, but it wasn't, there was nothing there
Nothing on the sidewalks, nothing on the streets
A little bit on the windshields because the rain froze up
But that was it, even coming to the radio station
There's nothing, there's like a dusting on part of the sidewalk
But that's about it, nothing in the parking lots
I'm sure when you go out into the county they got more snow
But I mean, I was ready for run for your lives
It's the end of the world and I didn't get much of that
The forecast coming for a cloudy day with a high-tier 35
Anything out there is probably going to melt
One to two inches of snow possible tonight
Lows around 27 and cloudy tomorrow with a high-tier 33
For the weekend though
Now see, they're predicting three to five inches of snow for the weekend
And I'm a little hesitant to believe all this stuff
But you never know, they could be right
Okay, so we'll see what happens there
Hey, coming up Steve Salvo at seven o'clock this morning
He is, he's with the Firehouse Museum in Racine
There is so many treasures in Racine that people don't know about
Including me, the Firehouse Museum
You probably pass it a million times
And we're going to talk about that with Steve Salvo coming up at seven o'clock this morning
I can't wait because my wife and always looking for things to do
If you don't want to do a long drive in the winter time
Or you don't want to do a long drive in the summertime
This is something you can do and it's writing your neighborhood
And you never knew what was there
What we talking about yesterday
We were talking about the
Clearing farm
Out in the Union Grove
There's another gem people don't even know about
The American pickers knew about it
Because they did their TV show from there
There's so many gems we're going to be talking about here in the morning on WRJN
And you got to take notes
I'll keep reminding you from time to time if I can
See what we got coming at what is today?
Today is Wednesday
And today's Wednesday
Okay, today the badgers men's basketball team takes on Ohio State in Ohio
6.30 p.m. tonight on WRJN radio tomorrow
We have police officers
Archon Christie Wilcox from the Racine Police Department is going to be in studio with us
Talking about winter driving and the lunatics out there
Before I came in this morning I was getting dressed
I turned on the TV for a few minutes
I was watching road rage
No road wars road wars
You can't believe how people drive
Forget the snow on dry pavement
You can't believe how they drive
I had people this morning
I'm going 30 miles an hour coming in the speed limit
And this guy is so close to me
I can't even see his headlights
And then he went off
And he just sped up around me
And just cut right in front of me
Because he felt like it
No signal, no nothing
And he sped off and was in the distance
Probably going about 45-50 miles an hour in a 30 zone
I don't know if he's late for work
I don't know what's going on
But there's no need for that
Just watch that TV show road boards every once in a while
I mean
Somebody was too
Going too fast for a curve to get onto the freeway
She skidded across the grass
Hit a box truck
The box truck hit a divider
A wall and blew up into flames
It's a miracle the guy got out of that box truck
It was an inferno
Because this person was going too fast for the curve
She was also drinking
But way too fast for the curve
All right
So Steve Salvos coming in this morning
He was talking about that
Steve Salvos going to be here from the Racine Firehouse
Gonna find out whether they call it the Racine Bells
Firehouse
We'll get all that information straight now
When Steve gets in here
At 7.06 this morning
It's 6.13 at W R J N radio
Home town radio refreshed
Pacific media station
I'm Don Rosen
Let's talk about this
You know some places finally getting some ice and snow in Wisconsin
Even more annoying
When people get leave their grocery carts
In the middle of a parking lot when there's snow
And yet they keep doing it
People on social media talking about the everyday things that people do
That are super disrespectful to those around them
Here it's just a couple of them
Abandoning stuff in the store in the wrong place or shelf
Have you ever done that?
I
I don't think I've ever done that before
But I see people doing it
It doesn't really bother me that much
But you remember there's a clerk
Somebody in the store has got to go get that item
Find out where it goes
And I remember when I was a kid
My mother's friend who we in food shopping with
I was a little, little tiny kid
She used to open a box as a candy
Take a few pieces, put it back on the shelf
Same thing with grapes in the supermarket
Going through the
produce section
Think a few grapes self and start eating them
I didn't think anything was wrong with it
No, I've never done it
But I remember her doing it
But imagine opening a box of candy
Taking a few pieces out of them, putting it back
I guess she saw nothing wrong with that
How about parents who let their kids run a muck in public places
And don't do anything when a kid makes a nuisance to themselves
We were at this, this is several years ago
My wife and I were at this, the Asian buffet
And a 20 thinner and these kids are running
Up and down screaming
And the parents do nothing about it
It's a restaurant for goodness sake
Control your kids
Or don't bring them
Neighbors who don't respect the quiet hours
Especially after midnight
I am very fortunate
I have great neighbors all around me
They're quiet, they mind their own business
And they don't bother me
Actually, I do have great neighbors
I'm either side of me and across the street
We talk all the time
But the neighbor who lives next to me
She grew up in my house as a matter of fact
And as she lives next door
Just wonderful people
I love my neighbors, neighbors are very good
Across the street, they're all around me
I'm very lucky to get good neighbors
Drivers who just hang out on the left lane
Driving slowly
People who park in designated spaces
That don't pertain to them
The only ones I found are
Obviously the handicapped spots
Senior parking only
And then there's one
I don't know if it's still there
But when I went just to go to Ascension
The drugstore there
There's parking and it says
For drugstore only
And people park there
And go to their doctor's appointment
And it says right on the sign
And the reason I knew that was
All the spaces for the drugstore were taken
There's nobody in there
And I asked the person on the counter
You do anything about that?
No
Because I had to get some
I ran in there really quickly
And I park in the parking garage
Because somebody took those spaces
People just don't care
All right, keep going
People who don't clean up after themselves
In a communal space like the break room
Now I've never had that problem
Because we don't have a break room
So it's a mess
People who tailgate
When you're driving at or above the speed limit
Yeah, we talked about that this morning
That happens
And people who cough or sneeze
In a public place and don't cover their mouths
You know since COVID
I see people covering their mouths more often
I remember at the height of COVID
I was in the supermarket
And you know occasionally you have to cough
To clear your throat and stuff
And I was afraid to do it
People they scatter
Like bunch of cockroaches
They run away from you
Like you've got the plague
And just feel people cough
You know just
Clear their throat or something
And they run
They scatter
Just like that
So those are just a couple of the ones
I took some out but for the most part
Those are the ones that really
I guess annoy me and
It's a 618 at WRJN Radio
Thank you for joining us here this morning
It's always a pleasure to be here

At WRJN Radio
On your Wednesday morning
If you're waking up on the east side
You probably don't have any snow at all
If you're waking up on the west side
You're probably able a little bit this morning
Don't know how much though
Yesterday when I was talking to
Somebody out in Union Grove
I guess we'll hear snow totals
Throughout the day today on the news
Okay, the annual consumer
Electronic show in Las Vegas started
Yesterday it runs through Friday
The media got to preview some of the new gadgets
Now they have a new voice activated
But day
What a bidet is, right?
Works for the Lexus. You really need that
Working with the Lexus
Here's the more LG
Has a brand new see-through television
It's called the OLEDT
T stands for transparent
So when it's off you can see right through it
They claim getting rid of that big black rectangle
Makes the whole room feel bigger
Not in my house because that big black
Rectangles covering up a hole in the wall
No, it's not really but people
People use that to cover up mistakes on the wall
Brand called
SeVVY has a new oven
They claim it's just as fast as a microwave
Two brothers in Switzerland
Came up with a new cat door
Called flappy
It prevents cats from bringing dead mice inside your house
It's outfitted with the artificial intelligence
That can detect a dead animal in your cat's mouth
And won't let them in until they drop it
That's what we're looking for
No cures for cancer at the consumer electronics show
No
Medical devices that can detect
You know a disease or anything
No, but we're going to detect that dead mouse
He's not getting in the house
But what about all these other things
And I'm working on that dead mouse thing right now
And transparent TVs
And bidets that work with artificial intelligence
And Alexa don't have time for that other stuff
A survey found one of five employers say
They've had a recent college graduate
Bring a parent to a job interview
63% of employers say college grads
Come off as entitled sometimes
Do you bring your mother and father to your job interview
Hmm
Unless you know it's for a company
Your mother and father own
That I wouldn't bring
All right, footage of a couple's pop-up waiting
At a coffee shop in Indiana is going viral
Because they didn't ask permission
They showed up a 30-guest
And just started the ceremony
The owners weren't thrilled normally
Charge $500 for private events
People online are debating whether or not
It was a big deal or not. The whole thing was over in 20 minutes
Now two things
First of all, you charge $500 for what?
It's a coffee shop. How many people rent the coffee shop
And the other thing is if they just went in there for 20 minutes
That means they didn't spend any money on food or anything
They just use the coffee shop as a ceremony
And that's kind of not nice
They didn't make money, sir food
Not just the venue for your wedding for free
All right, Broadway musicals
They had a Broadway musical recently
About Neil Diamond's music
They had one about Carol King's music
Who else did they have?
Everyone's in a while they'll do a musical
Based on somebody's music
Now a Broadway musical based on Prince's purple rain is in the works
The original movie came out in 1984
On the Oscar for Best Original Score
I've never seen that movie
And as big a movie fan as I am
I've never seen it
Now when Turner Classic movie runs it
I'll probably watch it
You know, I saw a movie on the TCM recently
Now being a big movie fan
There was a process called a duo vision
They call this is when 3D came out
The cinema scope and all these big processes came out
The head one called duo scope
And basically it was two movies on the screen at one time
They were the same movie
But from different points of view
So you have to watch this movie with two squares on the screen
And I forget the guy who produced it
But he was a big wig in Hollywood
And it's called Wicked Wicked
And it's one of those movies you can read about
But never see until Turner Classic movie ran at the other day
And I taped it
Or I deviarded
And it's there
Two different, two different scenes
Two different points of view on the screen at the same time
And so that's the way you watch the movie
It's called Wicked Wicked in duo vision
All right
Let's see what else is happening around there
Oh, this is an odd but true segment I came across
The first Apple computer went on sale
July of 1976
It cost $666.66
Why? Steve Wozniak picked the price
Because he liked repeating numbers
He had no idea about the satanic implications of 666
And there's a fast food chain
Most southwest grill
I never heard of it
But if you go in there they play music inside their stores
But only by people who are dead
Good news story
A video of a guy returning a stranger's purse
Is making the rounds online
He found the license inside the purse
Went to the woman's house
And the whole exchange was caught on her ring doorbell
Now she wasn't home
But was able to talk to him through the ring speaker
And said she had been crying her eyes out after losing her purse
She offered her money
Even told him to take some cash out of the purse as a reward
He said no, just pay it forward
And he left the purse for her
And that was it
What a good human being
You hear so many stories about bad horrible people out there
And then you get a story like this
Over the weekend Apple usage finally began receiving their piece of the battery gate settlement
And the form of $92 payments
Apple previously admitted to slowing down old iPhones
But they claimed it was meant to deliver a better experience for customers
Nonetheless they had to pay up
An ice cream company
Headed
Excuse me, based in Kansas City had to recall a flavor called chocolate to die for
Because it could literally kill people
The label says
It contains peanuts luckily
Nobody got sick from eating it
This is a big peanut thing
And I understand that people are allergic to peanuts
Their throat shouldn't close up
I understand it
When I went to school
I used to serve peanut butter all the time
There was
It never occurred
I get to anybody that could be peanut
Peanut allergies
You took your whole
You know lunch and then you had a choice of bread and butter
Or you can take the
Peanut butter
Bread instead of bread and butter was peanut butter and bread
You take your choice
It never dawned on anybody
And people could be allergic to this stuff
And if the ropes can close up
No, no, no
I think was ever done about it
Until now they're doing stuff about it
But today cloudy with a height of 35 degrees
Maybe one to two inches of snow possible
Tonight lows around 27
Cloudy tomorrow with a height of 33
Later in the week
We're getting down to single digits
The height for the day will be minus below zero at night
I didn't know that was coming
33 degrees in cloudy now
Coming up tonight

Like in the history of the United States
I think Banna White
Got the best job ever
Is that not the best job
If I'm a woman
I wouldn't want that job
So bad like that's her
That's her job
Like what a country
I turn letters
But only when they go
Okay I'm not the
But like what was the interview
Like to get that job
What was that process
That must have been really tough
They're like all right let's start
Let's start the interview here
Banna White is that right?
Okay all right let's start
All right are you familiar with the alphabet
You are
If something were glowing
Could you tell?
You could while that wraps it up
Wow welcome aboard
It's very impressive
That's very
Oh
All of people stare
As if we were both quite insane
Some never knew
And who's our coming to be the same
That's the way the whole thing started
Before he was part of
Prosperous Stills Nash and Young
Graham Nash was a member of the Hollies there
With bus stop
In 1965 the year something like that
In the sun the ice was melting
No more sheltering

Coming up at 706 this morning
That should be a lot of fun
All right
You like fast food hamburgers
What's the most craveable fast food burger out there
Ranked number one white castle
I love white castle burgers now
I don't go to a white castle to get
Am I used to go to the supermarket
You're in COVID though
They shot up like doubled in price
And I stopped getting them now
They've come down in price since
So I'm going to pick up some more
They're very fat thing though but they're so good
Yeah my dog used to like them
Until they found out you can't give dogs onions
And so I stopped giving it to them
But every time I brought a white castle burger
I watched TV I have pictures of me
With the white castles in the foreground
And I'm getting this
You ever get the stare down from your dog
When you're eating
Laser focused on the food
You can move the food
And once the eyeballs move with the food
Back and forth up and down
They're laser focused on that
And I used to give them a little piece of the bun
But I couldn't give them anything with the onions on
I was told there's no good for dogs
But you don't understand that
You can't reason with an animal
But yeah
I photographed some of my phone of him
Just laser focused on me
So number one is white castle
Then came crystal
Now they don't have crystals around here
Crystals when I was in Atlanta
Live down there they had crystal
Which is identical to white castle
There's no difference
Burger King came in third
What a burger which I don't have around here
Came in fourth and smashed burger
Which they also don't have around here
Came in fifth
And we have in and out burgers around
Somebody said we did
Not like colvers
Colvers is a good burger
God was on his way to a dog show
He found a lost puppy on the side of the road
He picked it up
Get this
It took third place in the rescue dog category
He tracked down the owners later
Got the dog back to them
She's a five year old big old mix
And an award winner
Just happened to be on the side of the road
And now she's an award winner
I hear some good advice tips for you
Change your passwords
Over 30% of people say
They could still log on to an exes
Facebook Netflix or work email
If they wanted to
28% said the same thing about their exes bank account
When I was dating
I never gave a woman
I were dating any passwords
What's so ever
I don't give my wife the passwords
What are you talking about now
She knows the passwords
But she knows where they are
Anyway, so yeah
That's
How does anybody fall for this
You know people are so
Gollible out there
A 65 year old woman in Japan got scammed
Out of $30,000 by a guy
Who claimed he wanted to move there
To be with her
But he was a Russian cosmonaut
On the space station
And he'd money to cover the rocket
Cause to get back to earth
Cause I could people be so stupid
There's celebrity
And she can walk right up to an ask chronograph
They'll happily oblige
On the other hand, there's a list of famous people
Who will not sign autographs
They include William Schatner
It'll happily sign the conventions
We have to pay for it
Steve Martin won't do it
And Ringo star he said he retired
From signing autographs back in 2008
And then he said
I'm going to sign autographs
Or post for a picture
I would take that
I'd love to have a conversation
With Paul McCarty
Yeah, forget the autograph
Cause you'll lose those things
And you know
I have pictures with famous people
That I was with
I don't know where they are
I have a picture with Tony Bennett
I can't find it
You know
You trust your spouse or partner
In a poll 19% said
They wouldn't want their partner to see their internet browsing history
32% don't even know how to delete
All their browsing history
I am told just by watching date line in 2020
You can never delete
Totally everything on your phone
Now you can delete it
So your partner or your spouse
So whatever it couldn't find it
But a forensic specialist
What do they call those people
The technical forensic specialists
Whatever, electronic forensic
They can find out
Because you can never, ever delete
Everything from your phone or computer
Even if you hit
It clear all
It's somewhere in there
And they'll find it now
Your spouse probably couldn't find it
Because it's too complicated
You need a special machinery to do it
But still
Consequences whatsoever
You punch your boss in the face
Survey found 73% of men say no they wouldn't
27% said yes they would
People really want to punch their co-workers though
51% of men said yeah
They want to punch a co-worker
If they can get away with it
That means the majority of men
Want to punch a co-worker in the face
I don't want to punch anybody in the face
I hope nobody wants to punch me in the face
In the face
All right
I'm trying to think if anybody
Would want to punch me in the face here
No, I don't think so
Eddie put sunscreen on your dog during the summer
Well, guess what most of us don't
But we should
Dogs can get sunburned as well
And it can lead to all sorts of issues
Like skin cancer for dogs
The American Kennel Club recommends
A waterproof unscented dog sunscreen
With an SPF of at least 30
I don't know they sell sunscreen for dogs
Guess they do
Odd but true, the three largest employers in the world
The US Department of Defense
The Chinese Military
And Walmart
Odd but true
A new poll on airplane etiquette found
Most people think it's okay to bring
Smelly food on an airplane but nobody wants
To smell your feet
90% said you should never take your shoes off
And socks off on a plane
I know I'm not a big flyer
But I've been on enough airplanes
Nobody's ever done anything like that
I did sit next to somebody
Want to reek from body odor
He uh, he was a uh
I guess a detective in the police department
Because he was talking to me for a while
And it just was horrible
This guy, I don't know if he just had a problem
Or he didn't shower or bathe or whatever
But I sat there for two and a half hours
And I couldn't take the smell
It was so bad
But yeah, he could have just had a problem
But still do something about it
48% of Americans think switching to a healthy lifestyle
Would make them miserable
Yeah, my daughter, he's very healthy food
Now, she's better now than she used to be
When she does bodybuilding shows
And when she gets her body in shape for one of those shows
She's eating food I wouldn't want to be in the same room with
But it's very healthy
And she still eats healthy food
She goes shopping with her husband once a week
They buy all this healthy food
They cook it all at one time
And they put it away and make dinners for the week
But it's really healthy food
They don't need me junk food
There's no you know
Bad food in their house
But I don't think I can live like that
If you sickle working from home
Someone created a website called
Sound of colleagues.com
It recreates the sound of an office
They're rid of that sound from the office
And you don't want to deal with it
Best food places have one job
Providing you with the food you want fast
But if you don't want to get the
But if you don't get the food you want
It's not fast
The fastest chains out there
KFC
Taco Bell
Duncan Donuts
And Carl's Jr., which is also hardies
Chick-fil-A was number one last year
But they would get last this year
Arby's and McDonald's died first
In order of accuracy
Followed by Burger King, Carl's Jr., and Hardies
Chick-fil-A was number one last year
They tied for seventh this year
Wendy's had the worst accuracy rate
What is worth the most common error
Including the wrong beverage
Do you remember McDonald's had this thing years ago
They would put this check sticker on your bag
And they would say
That check sticker meant your order was perfect
And if it wasn't, your order was free
That lasted only a couple of weeks
They would give me way too many free orders
So that went bye-bye
I think Denny's did the same thing
Remember Denny's just put a clock on the table
During certain times of the day
And guaranteed your food in 10 minutes
Or less
Or the meal was free
That lasted only a short time
They were giving away too much free food
I mean, they can't guarantee stuff like that
Anyways, so the check marks are gone
And that clock on the table at Denny's is gone
I'm pretty satisfied with the speed of fast food
I rather than get it right and just take a little more time
I mean, when you think about it
It's really not that long to get food
You want it done right
You know what, done wrong
Alright, from the what were they thinking file
A 27-year-old woman without standing warrants
Eleven of them got arrested
After applying for a security job at a police station
What was she thinking?
A man in the Massachusetts
He pleaded guilty to using printers
And Mr. clean magic erasers
To turn one dollar bills into
Hundred dollar bills
Could that work?
Oh, half an hour once in Chicago
And we went to some bank
Or some government plays down there
And on display they have all this fake money
That they confiscated
And you look at it and say
How can anybody fall for this money
He's not even close
Is George Washington smiling
Abraham Lincoln with a cigar hanging out of his mouth
It was sort of stupid things like that
But who falls for that stuff
I guess if you're really fast about it
I was talking the other day
At church
We were putting out some snack food
For our after church get together
And somebody put out pistachios
And I said oh
I haven't seen red
She had regular pistachios
And I said I haven't seen red pistachios
In a long time and she said
I've never heard of red pistachios
Remember red pistachios
Used to open them up
And then you got the red all over your fingers
Remember that?
Red pistachios basically disappeared in the US
They were imported from the Middle East
Covered imperfections
Because the natural low quality
Will eat a grown in America
And don't need that dye on them
But that's interesting
I can't remember one but I was a kid
Even just an adult, the young adult
They were like everywhere those red pistachios
I don't know how many more
Well it's gonna give you here
Real quickly before we take a break here
What's your earliest memory
Oh I can't do this now
Because I gotta tell you a story to add to it
I'll give you an odd matrudo
Kentucky fried chicken had a sibling restaurant
They wanted to try doing roast beef once
Like Arby's and they called it Kentucky roast beef and ham
That was back in the 1960s
And a short time they were closed down
Couldn't turn to profit
I mean they tried to take on Arby's
You know my daughter found the other days
She's dry, she lives in Florida
Remember the old Arby's logo
That big thing out the restaurant
It was like an old cowboy hat
Even like a ten gallon hat
She found one that still used that
And kind of brought back memories of
Being younger, seeing those big Arby's
Ten gallon hats outside
Coming up in just a few minutes from the
Racine Firehouse Museum
That should be interesting

before the break I was asking you
what your earliest memory
11% of people think they can remember stuff
when they were two years old
a chunk of them say they can recall
taking their first steps
or speaking their first words
I could never have said this
several years ago but I can say it now
I remember being a year old
and I'll tell you how I know this
my brother and I
several years ago went on
like a tour of the old places
back to our home in the Bronx
in New York we just live in the apartment in the Bronx
now I'm just a little kid at the time
we left there when I was a year and a half
and I didn't remember anything about the apartment
other than pictures I've seen
but we looked through the windows
it was a locked door so we just
were able to look through into the lobby of the apartment building
and I saw this black and white mosaic floor
and all of a sudden
a big thing came over me
I remember that floor because we had the same black and white
mosaic floors in the bathroom
in our apartment
and I remember crawling on the floor
looking at that mosaic
the black and white mosaic
tiles on the floor
I was a year old
could have been less than that
because we left there I was a year and a half
but still I remember that floor in the Bronx
wow that's the earliest I can remember
now if you read the biography
the autobiography I wrote in
elementary school I think I was in third grade
second or third yeah third grade
and I still have it I have it in my drawer at home
and it was
it was my autobiography and I said
I started off by saying I remember the doctor
slapping me when I was born
and being in the hospital
the teacher who read that
must have said
what the
who is this kid
that said she must have had a good laugh
because years later I found it
in our house and I brought it out
to dinner table and showed everybody
and they were all laughing
at this biography I have it at home
maybe we should bring it in
and read it all thing
it's really funny
I remember the doctor picking me up
and slapping me when I was born
I can't believe I actually printed that in there
all right
odd but true
20th century Fox scheduled
album of the chipmunks the squeaky
to come out one week after
avatar because they were worried
about the box office

a man's backpack robbed in New York City
and it's notable because he had
$100,000 in cash
in the backpack
the victim says he's a construction worker
who just cast a workman's compensation
settlement check police were investigating
all right so you cast the check
you're taking home $100,000 in cash
what are you going to do with that
what you do is you get a bank check
for the hundred thousand so you can
read a positive somewhere
walks around with a hundred
thousand dollars cash
in their backpack
feeling a little tired at work
are you need a nap
a company in Japan's working on
nap boxes at the office
but you have to sleep standing up
they're shaped like water heaters
with a door on the front
and you can see the shelves inside
to support your knees head and butt
you know what that reminds me of
remember the Seinfeld episode
with George builds us a little
like sleeping nook
at the office where it works
for the New York Yankees
remember that
this whole thing was shelves under his desk
and a alarm clock a blanket
there stored away
so we can take a nap
during the daytime when he's supposed
to add a warm up
like a
taut
