 So, drunks are now referred to as overserved, and, according to Gwyneth Paltrow, a marital breakup is a conscious uncoupling. When will somebody come up with a politically correct term for fat guys?


A 33-year-old man in Tampa was caught on camera flipping off a woman he'd been tailgating on a rain-slicked Florida highway seconds before spinning off the road and into a light pole. Because no one was hurt, I'd like to just express this on behalf of patient drivers everywhere: ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

Reportedly, 5% of Americans suffer from electromagnetic hypersensitivity (which is not nearly as sensational a name as WiFi allergy).

An 18-year-old Georgia man will face legal action of he can't return the $31,000 accidentally deposited into his account via a banking error that had gone undetected for 10 days. The problem is, during those 10 days, the young man spent $25,000 of the money.

Thankfully, no one was fatally injured when a train operator fell asleep and drove a blue line train into Chicago's O'Hare airport. Otherwise, I couldn't tell this joke: What did the escalator say to the luggage carousel? "Excuse me, I have to catch a train."

How come when I hear that a movie, album, restaurant or TV show promoted as "the one everybody's talking about", usually, nobody I know is actually talking about it?

A teenage carjacker in Omaha who was out on bail is back in jail after getting caught trying to steal another car at gunpoint this week. What thwarted his plans? He couldn't drive a stick shift. See? Another reason to keep auto shop courses in the public school curriculum..

And now, a word that may or may not be directed at someone specific: maybe you haven't asked because you're afraid the right answer is no.
