> A Great Loss
> ------------
> There was a great loss today in the entertainment world. The man
> who wrote the song "Hokey Pokey" died. What was really horrible
> is that they had trouble keeping the body in the casket.
>
> They'd put his left leg in.....well you know the rest.
>
>
>
> Jury Duty
> ---------
> Mrs. Hunter was called to serve for jury duty, but asked to be
> excused because she didn't believe in capital punishment and
> didn't want her personal thoughts to prevent the trial from
> running its proper course. But the public defender liked her
> thoughtfulness, and tried to convince her that she was
> appropriate to serve on the jury.
>
> "Madam," he explained, "This is not a murder trial! It's a
> simple civil lawsuit. A wife is bringing this case against her
> husband because he gambled away the $12,000 he had promised to
> use to remodel the kitchen for her birthday."
>
> "Well, okay," agreed Mrs. Hunter, "I'll serve. I guess I could
> be wrong about capital punishment after all!"
>
>

>
>
> Fine Work
> ---------
> Morris was removing some engine valves from a car on the lift
> when he spotted the famous heart surgeon Dr. Michael DeBakey,
> who was standing off to the side, waiting for the service manager.
> Morris, somewhat of a loud mouth, shouted across the garage,
> " Hey DeBakey...Is dat you ? Come over here a minute."
>
> The famous surgeon, a bit surprised, walked over to where Morris
> was working on a car. Morris in a loud voice, all could hear,
> said argumentatively, " So Mr. fancy doctor, look at this work.
> I also take valves out, grind 'em, put in new parts, and when I
> finish this baby will purr like a kitten. So how come you get
> the big bucks, when you and me are doing basically the same work ? "
>
> DeBakey, very embarrassed, walked away, and said softly, to
> Morris,....."Try doing your work with the engine running. "
