Silliness

Woo Hoo, it's Friday.

For my work, I drive around town a lot and see a lot of unusual things.

Today I saw something so funny to me I almost fell out of my truck.

I stopped for a jogger that crossed the road in front of me and as he ran by I observed he was wearing a large blue turban.

The turban wasn't any big deal, but what cracked me up was the sweat band he had tied around his turban. Now that was funny, but maybe you had to be there to appreciate the humor.



You know a lot is made about Las Vegas and "What happens here stays here," but we take a back seat to New York.

NYC Unveils Official New Condom

NEW YORK - The official New York City condom has a different look and a sexy new slogan: New Yorkers are being encouraged to "get some" on Valentine's Day.

Street teams will be handing out the free condoms at busy hubs around the city on Thursday, including Times Square, Wall Street and near City Hall.

And an ad campaign on television, radio and subways and buses will soon begin, featuring the catch phrase.

"We want to give away as many condoms as people will use because we're trying to make New York City an even safer place to have sex, and this is a powerful way to do it," said Monica Sweeney, the Health Department's assistant commissioner for HIV prevention and control.

The city has made free condoms available for years, but last year revamped the package with a distinct look to encourage usage. Since then the city has been giving away 3 million condoms a month on average, up from 1.5 million a month before the redesign.

The design introduced last year was a black wrapper stamped with the letters "NYC CONDOM" in the same font and bright colors used on city subway maps and signs.

The new design unveiled Wednesday features the letters "NYC" in black, inside three adjoining white circles. Underneath the "NYC" is the word "CONDOM," with each letter in a different color. The wrapper is still black and the condom inside, from the Lifestyles brand, is the same.

Designer Yves Behar, founder of the San Francisco-based agency fuseproject, created the wrapper's new look, which he said he wanted to be friendly and unintimidating.

The city said new condom dispensers, also designed by Behar, will be available for establishments that wish to distribute the condoms. Currently about 900 establishments - some restaurants, bars and salons but mostly nonprofit groups - offer the condoms, Sweeney said.


The city has been giving away 3 million condoms a month. It's obvious their slogan "get some" must be working. They are getting busy as well!!!

Talk about a friendly city, sounds like a great place to visit!!!!



Speaking of friendly people, Bridgeport, Michigan, has a police department that likes to keep people off the streets.

Police Post Callers Get Exciting Message

BRIDGEPORT, Michigan - People calling a Michigan state police post got an unexpected pitch for phone sex. Calls to the Bridgeport post's main number were met Wednesday morning with a recorded message saying, "Indulge yourself with the most exciting conversation imaginable."

That was followed by a telephone number for a phone sex line.

The mix-up was an "internal issue that has nothing to do with the phone company" and an investigation is underway.

"Indulge yourself with the most exciting conversation imaginable." Wow after one call says it all you can head off to New York!!!


However if you do the above and get caught, head on down to Charleston, W.Va.

Radio Station Giving Away Free Divorce

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - A Charleston radio station is observing Valentine's Day with a reminder that Cupid sometimes misses his mark.

WKLC-FM, better known as Rock 105, is giving away a free divorce.

Valentine's Day isn't all hearts and flowers, says WKLC Program Director Jay Nunley. There is a darker side, he said, "where maybe you despise your spouse and resent the entire day."

Through 4 p.m. on Thursday, Valentine's Day, applications for the free divorce will be accepted on the classic rock station's Web site, www.wklc.com. The winning name will be drawn at 5 p.m.

Nunley cautions that this is a real divorce and people shouldn't enter if they aren't serious. Also, people expecting a long, drawn-out legal battle should hire a lawyer because the Rock 105 contest is for a relatively uncomplicated divorce.

Charleston attorney Rusty Webb will handle the actual filing.

"Sure we can give away concert tickets, and we do," said Nunley. "That's going to make you happy for a little while. This is the chance to make someone happy for the rest of their life."


I doubt they will get too many entries from men unless the men only want the clothes on their back because there is no such thing as an uncomplicated divorce.
