<tt>1. WILL THE REAL DUMMY PLEASE STAND UP? </tt><tt>> AT&T fired President John Walter after nine months, saying he lacked</tt><tt>> Intellectual leadership. He received a $26 million severance package.</tt><tt>> Perhaps it's not Walter who's lacking intelligence.</tt><tt>></tt><tt>> 2. WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM OUR FRIENDS. Police in Oakland, CA spent two hours</tt><tt>attempting to subdue a gunman who had barricaded himself inside his home. After</tt><tt>firing ten tear gas canisters, officers discovered that the man was standing</tt><tt>beside them in the police line, shouting, 'Please come out and give yourself</tt><tt>up.'</tt><tt>></tt><tt>> 3. WHAT WAS PLAN B??? </tt><tt>> An Illinois man, pretending to have a gun, kidnapped a motorist and forced</tt><tt>him to drive to two different automated teller machines, where in the kidnapper</tt><tt>proceeded to withdraw money from his own bank accounts.</tt><tt>></tt><tt>> 4. THE GETAWAY! A man walked into a Topeka, Kansas Kwik Stop and asked for</tt><tt>all the money in the cash drawer. Apparently, the take was too small, so he tied</tt><tt>up the store clerk and worked the counter himself for three hours until police</tt><tt>showed up and grabbed him.</tt><tt>></tt><tt>> 5. DID I SAY THAT? Police in Los Angeles had good luck with a robbery suspect</tt><tt>who just couldn't control himself during a lineup. When detectives asked each</tt><tt>man in the lineup to repeat the words: 'Give me all your money or I'll shoot',</tt><tt>the man shouted, 'that's not what I said!'</tt><tt>></tt><tt>></tt><tt>> 6. ARE WE COMMUNICATING? A man spoke frantically into the phone: 'My wife is</tt><tt>pregnant and her contractions are only two minutes apart'. 'Is this her first</tt><tt>child?' the Doctor asked. 'No!' the man shouted, 'This is her husband!'</tt><tt>></tt><tt>> 7. NOT THE SHARPEST TOOL IN THE SHED! In Modesto, CA, Steven Richard King was</tt><tt>arrested for trying to hold up a Bank of America branch without a weapon. King</tt><tt>used a thumb and a finger to simulate a gun. Unfortunately, he failed to keep</tt><tt>his hand in his pocket. (hellooooooo)!</tt><tt>></tt><tt>> 8. THE GRAND FINALE!!! </tt><tt>> Last summer, down on Lake Isabella, located in the high desert, an hour east</tt><tt>of Bakersfield, CA, some folks, new to boating, were having a problem. No matter</tt><tt>how hard they tried, they couldn't get their brand new 22 foot boat, going. It</tt><tt>was very sluggish in almost every maneuver, no matter how much power they</tt><tt>applied. After about an hour of trying to make it go, they putted into a nearby</tt><tt>marina, thinking someone there may be able to tell them what was wrong. A</tt><tt>thorough topside check revealed everything in perfect working condition The</tt><tt>engine ran fine, the out-drive went up and down, and the propeller was the</tt><tt>correct size and pitch. So, one of the marina guys jumped in the water to check</tt><tt>underneath. He came up choking on water, he was laughing so hard.</tt><tt>></tt><tt>> NOW REMEMBER...THIS IS TRUE. Under the boat, still strapped securely in place,</tt><tt>was the trailer! </tt><tt>></tt><tt>> HAVE A NICE DAY!</tt>
