    Heard about the weatherman who predicted a big snow storm that never materialized? On the next night's news program, the segway to the weather report was a classic. The pretty young female news anchor turned to the weather desk, and asks, "Well, Dick, what happened to that 8 inches you promised me last night?" The entire set howled in laughter, and someone had the sense to break for commercials.

    The Arnold Palmer one is an urban legend that originated with a joke Johnny Carson once made on the "Tonight Show."

    Thanks, I needed a good laugh. Supposed to get my G4 400 I bought on ebay today and I STILL haven't received it. Even worse, I didn't check which version of OSX was on it when I purchased it and I realize its only OSX 10.0. Now I have to go out and spend over $100 on 10.1! OK, now I'm upset again. Say something to make me laugh...............

    I didn't make it up. I picked it up from somewhere. It could be fact, could be fiction. It's funny either way.



    One that happened here... We have a suburb called Whitefish Bay. A news anchor called it "Whitefolks Bay" on the air. No need to explain.
