    A Woman in a Hot Air Balloon

    A woman in a hot air balloon realizes she’s lost. When she lowers her altitude, she spots a man in a boat below and shouts to him:

    “Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don’t know where I am.”

    The man consults his portable GPS and replies, “You’re in a hot air balloon, approximately [...]

    art alexakis saved my life

    Well, at least my craptastic week.

    The Parrot

    A young man named John received a parrot as a gift. The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary. Every word out of the bird’s mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with profanity.

    John tried and tried to change the bird’s attitude by consistently sayingonly polite words, playing soft music and anything else he could think of to “clean up” the bird’s [...]

    There is a letter to the editor in the Columbian this morning that deserves some clarification and further discussion. The letter is entitled, “Obey law and use a leash” and concerns leashing your dog:

    While walking along the busy river walk by Interstate 5 Bridge, I saw three dogs being walked by their owners, and none were on leashes. All were [...]
