One born every minute
1. When his 38-caliber revolver failed to fire at its intended victim during a hold-up in Long Beach, California, would be robber James Elliot did
something that can only inspire wonder:He peered down the barrel and tried the trigger again. This time it worked.
2.The chef at a hotel in Switzerland lost a finger in a meat cutting machine and, after a little hopping around, submitted a
claim to his insurance company. The mpany, suspecting negligence, sent out one of its men to have a look for himself. He tried the machine out and
lost a finger.
>The chef's claim was approved.

3. A man who shoveled snow for an hour to clear a space
for his car during a blizzard in Chicago returned with his vehicle to find a woman had taken the space. Understandably,he shot her.

4. After stopping for drinks at an illegal bar, a Zimbabwean bus driver found that the 20 mental patients he was supposed to be transporting from
Harare to Bulawayo had escaped. Not wanting to admit his incompetence, the driver went to a nearby bus-stop and offered everyone waiting there a free
ride.
>He then delivered the passengers to the mental hospital, telling the staff that the patients were very excitable and prone to
>bizarre fantasies. The deception wasn't discovered for 3 days.
>Damn I like that one...
>
>5. An America teenager was in the hospital yesterday recovering
>from serious head wounds received from an oncoming train.
>When asked how he received the injuries, the lad told police that he
>was simply trying to see how close he could get his head to a moving
>train before he was hit.
>
>6. A mother took her daughter to the doctor and asked him to
>give her an examination to determine the cause of her daughters
>swollen abdomen. It only took the doctor about 2 seconds to say
>"Your daughter is pregnant."
>The mother turned red with fury and she argued with the
>doctor that her daughter was a good girl and would never
>compromise her reputation by having sex with a boy.
>The doctor faced the window and silently watched the horizon.
>The mother became enraged and screamed,
>"Quit looking out the window! Aren't you paying attention
>to me?" "Yes, of course I am paying attention ma'am. It's
>just that the last time this happened, a star appeared in the East,
>& three wise men came. I was hoping that they would show up again.
