  5. What's a 'T' among friends? LOL

    STOUGHTON, Wis. (AP) -- A painter working on a Wisconsin water tower left behind one big typo. The mistake had Stoughton (STOH'-tuhn) residents scratching their heads. The new paint job had the town's name without the second T. It was spelled "S-T-O-U-G-H-O-N," rather than...

  17. A funny from today's e-mail

    IDIOT SIGHTING: We had to have the garage door repaired. The Sears repairman told us that one of our problems was that we did not have a 'large enough motor' on the opener. I thought for a minute, and said that we had the largest one Sears made at that time, a 1/2 horsepower. He shook his...
