POLICE ARE SCRAMBLING!!!

WHO POACHED HUMPTY?!?!
PETERBOROUGH – All the king's horses and all the king's men have been scrambling to crack the case of the missing eggman, and now the Peterborough Players are asking the public to help return Humpty Dumpty to his favorite wall.
The Players' Humpty Dumpty costume, designed and made by hand for the theater company's 2007 production of "Alice's Adventure in Wonderland," was last seen walking away with the Cheshire Cat on May 16, during Peterborough's Children and the Arts Festival parade.
Lisa Murray, spokeswoman for Peterborough Players, said the theater company breaks out many of its costumes, including Humpty, during the annual arts festival and allows children to try them on.
The costumes were then supposed to be worn by actors in the parade, but Murray said it appears someone outside the company got their hands on the eggman.
"I saw him walking away with the Cheshire Cat when the parade ended," Murray said.
She assumed that Humpty and his pal were just caught up in the post-parade chaos. However, when Humpty missed his cue for a performance scheduled at noon, Murray knew some bad eggs might have hatched a plot to beat it out of town with the costume.
The police were called in to crack the case, and were able to track down the Cheshire Cat costume, returned by a 15-year-old teenager from Temple, Murray said.
"He was rather sheepish," Murray said.

But when the trail to Humpty Dumpty turned cold, the directors of Peterborough Players started to worry that the eggman's goose was cooked.
"We'd really just like to get the costume back," Murray said.
The company has declared that no one will fry for absconding with the costume.
"We won't prosecute or press charges," she said. "We'll even arrange for a drop-off at an undisclosed location and offer amnesty in exchange for Humpty's return."
Since Humpty's great fall, Peterborough Players have been hard at work preparing for their production of "I Remember Mama," which premiers this weekend.
Anyone with information about Humpty Dumpty is asked to contact Lisa Murray at lmurray@peterboroughplayers.org.

I had to add this video from SNL...enjoy

Amish Gangster - (thanks Molly)

LITTLE VALLEY, N.Y. (AP) - It's not what you would call a
high-speed chase. Deputies in western New York report they were
trying to stop a young man in Amish country in a horse and buggy.
Authorities say Jonas Hershberger headed across fields and into the
woods in the town of Napoli. According to deputies, the
20-year-old eventually ditched the buggy and made a run for it. He
was busted at a nearby home. Hershberger now faces a number of
charges, including reckless endangerment. His bail has been set at
$250.

My questions….
How reckless can you get with a horse and buggy?!?!
What were they trying to pull him over for? An out of date inspection on his buggy? Failing to pick up after his horse? Not using a turn signal? OH! I know – the caution triangle they have to put on the back of the buggy must have fallen off...GANGSTAH BIZNITCH!!! WORD TO JEBADIAH!!!

The reason why the economy is in the crapper!!!


Hey guys it's Fronk and I know I'm going to sound old when I say this...but it's the twenty somethings that don't have basic math skillis that are messing up the economy!!! Case in point... I went out ot a local eatery this past weekend (one of those movie & pub places) and I ordered a bowl of clam chowder to enjoy during the movie. When the bill came it read in big bold black magic marker "$4.30", so I gave the waitress a $20 and off she went. A few minutes later she returns with my change of $6. As you are thinking now so was I $6 is not the correct change, so I called her back and asked her to explain. She then points to other side of the bill to show me her math. Let's just forget about the $0.30 you will soon find out that was too much to handle for her...se shows me her math work "20-4=6". So I asked her "What's 20 minus 6?" her response "4", I then asked "Well, what's 10 minus 4?". All I got was a blank look for about 10 seconds and then she says "I'll have to get my manager" as she scurried away. Five minutes go by and the manager returns with the other $10 and his sincere apologies. He shouldn't have been sorry...WE SHOULD ALL FEEL SORRY...THAT'S OUR FUTURE!!!!
