KEEP MOVING

Griffin
DOESN’T ANYONE TAKE A PULSE ANYMORE?
Betty Schmidt,
54, tucked her 89-year old aunt into bed one night. Eighteen months later, she
still hadn’t noticed that auntie had not moved. Neighbors became curious about
the unusual odor and called police, who found a skeleton in the bed. Shocked?
Rookie. A year later, the same cops were summoned to the street by the same nosy
neighbors. This time they discovered the decomposed body of a man sitting on a
couch. Seems Brad Horton, the man’s son, was concerned about being evicted if
his dad moved to the cemetery. Betty and Brad are rooming together at a psychiatric
center near you. And in the understatement of the year - neighbors described both
as rather peculiar.
BRILLIANT & STUPID AT THE SAME TIME ;-)
Josh Wellington,
a 19-year-old computer whiz, was arrested last summer and summoned to appear at
a hearing to answer a drunk driving charge. Wellington showed up early for his
hearing in his best suit, hoping to impress the judge. In fact, he was so early;
he found an unmanned computer and hacked into the court’s database. Wellington
deleted his file from the computer's hard drive and inserted a winking smiley
face. The judge was not amused, handing down a 90-day sentence, $1,425 in fines
and a six-month suspension of his license.

ODD JOBS
Last year,
Paul Simon quit the marina business to maintain outdoor toilets. According to
Simon, portable outdoor toilets are a growth industry at parks, construction sites
and county fairs. It’s a dirty business, but not if you do it right, according
to Simon, who had no comment on the whereabouts of Garfunkel. In other news…
