Can you spare a nickle?

If anyone out there has a 1913 Liberty Head nickel, I need one for my collection.

If you have one and will part with it, I can pay $100.00.

Bear strolls into McDonald's drive-through in NJ

SOUTH BRUNSWICK, N.J. - The morning rush hour finds plenty of people in the drive-through lane at the McDonald's on busy Route 1 in South Brunswick. On Wednesday, a small bear also strolled through the lane.

Police say they got three calls from motorists about 9 a.m. about the bear, which appears to be headed north in woods along the highway.

The bear appears to be young and may have been the same animal spotted a day earlier near the Route 27 boundary with Franklin Township.

Police say bears are unusual but nor rare in the central New Jersey township.

Bears have fallen on hard times as well - not as many kids are eating porridge these days.



Is there something in the water in New Jersey?

First a bear, now this.

Ex-parking meter worker charged with stealing $30K

NEWARK, N.J. - New Jersey prosecutors say a former city worker whose job involved emptying parking meters stole more than $30,000 in coins from the machines. That equals a stack of quarters about 700 feet high.

An indictment handed up Wednesday against Rodney Dennis charges him with official misconduct and theft.

Authorities say the 52-year-old was supposed to deposit the coins in an Irvington police department account after removing them from the meters. He's accused of putting them in his own bank account instead during most of 2006.

Officials say a bank investigator became suspicious and alerted police. Dennis was fired in February.

OK. That must be a city with no budget issues since they didn't discover the missing money until the bank alerted the police.


Boy some kids are hard to explain.

The other day I was talking to a friend of mine and he was really distraught.

He told me his daughter refused to go to school.

When he asked her why, she said the kids make fun of her, the teachers hate her, and she has way too much work.

I said that didn't sound good at all and asked what he said to his daughter.

He said, "I told her she didn't have a choice, she had to go to school since she was the principal."


The best sermons are lived, not preached.

Have you noticed the catchy phrases churches are putting on their signs nowadays?

I saw an unusual one the other day, it said, " We love hurting people."

I bet they are lined up outside on Sunday morning to get inside that church.


Birthday planning:

The wife, Vicki, has a birthday coming up soon and I figure I ought to take her to a real expensive place for her birthday.

I have looked around and given a lot of thought as to a real expensive place to take her and have found it.

I am taking her to the gas station.
