8. They begin the evening news with 'Good Evening,' then proceed to tell you why it isn't.

9. To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism. To steal from many is research.

Presidents' Day

COFFEE HURTS
I was eating lunch yesterday with my young daughter and while looking over the school calendar I told her she had off for President's Day.
She is a smart kid. So, I asked "What does President's Day mean?"

I was waiting for something about Washington or Lincoln etc.
... She replied, "President's Day is when President Obama steps out of the
White House, and if he sees his shadow we have one more year of
unemployment."

You know, it hurts when hot coffee spurts out your nose...
