A family in England was too poor to have their loved one buried. So, when the undertaker found out, he left the body in the back of an old abandoned hearse. Everything was fine until warm weather set in and the body started to smell. The neighbors complained and the authorities investigated.

The undertaker was arrested.

For about the past year, we have been getting calls from people looking for Gordon Wilcox.  Since Lowell has two exchanges that are very similar, I initially assumed that the callers had miss dialed using the wrong exchange.  But, after further investigation, I discovered that Gordon Wilcox does not live in the Lowell area.  Or, at least he is not listed in the phone book.

Recently, I got a call from a church wanting to notify Gordon of a special service that they were hold in honor of his parents.  They claim to have gotten our number from the internet.  We told them that we would notify Gordon the next time we see him.

Apparently, Mr Wilcox has given out our number as his own.  I wonder if he knows Wep Swift?

Once a month, a vendor comes in around noon and does a product presentation. And, as a part of their presentation, the vendor provides lunch.

Well, 45 minutes into a very boring Power Point presentation, lunch arrived. It was pizza and it smelled really good. We all thought that we would be eating soon but instead, the presentation continued. Finally, after another 30 minutes had passed, the sales staff cut in on the presenter and told him that enough was enough.

It was bad enough that the presentation was boring and we were hungry, we also had to endure the smell of hot pizza turning cold.

Parents in Britain are up set over a kiddie show. It seems that the person who hosts the show is a young woman who is missing part of her right arm. The parents seem to think that she is scaring the children and want her removed from the show.

Of course, no one is making the children watch the program and the parents certainly can change the station. But, apparently that hasn’t occurred to them.

If she had been cast as a female pirate with a hook on her hand, it probably would have been OK with the parents.

A 10 year old Saudi Arabia girl recently married a 47 year old man. It seems that the father of the girl owed the man some money so to settle the debt, he gave the man his daughter. And while the mother protested, she had no legal recourse.

It seems to me that this is just legal child molestation but unfortunately, it goes on a lot over there.
