Amusing articles

I got these from a friend in an email a long time ago. I figure it is a good time as any to post these for posterity.

I cannot vouch for the authenticity of any of these stories but since they appear to have been clipped out of real newspapers, they MUST be true ... right?

Here you go:

My family photo?

Not really my family photo - more like my family stick drawing.

20 Puns (plus a bonus)

Like everyone else, I know people who email me dumb jokes, etc. One of my aunts-in-law used to include me on this email list of hers - she regularly emailed completely outrageous things and no one would question the veracity of any of it. Example - she sent an email about how there was some weirdo in Florida who was taping syringes to pump handles at gas stations. These syringes were filled with HIV-infected blood. You see where this one is going? Anyway, it seemed to me that - uhh, why haven't I heard ANY of these outlandish stories on the news? Thanks to ten seconds on snopes.com, I debunked these emails as they'd come in - I'd hit "reply all" and let the 53 people (who she emailed) know that the story was fake, here's the proof that it's fake, etc. After doing that three or four times, I was removed from her email list. I haven't received any emails from her in over six years.

But I still get occasional emails with lame jokes, etc. This one ... this one I thought was amusing in a "audible groan" sort of way. Enjoy ...
