I'm glad I read this......

And I thought yesterday was a slow new days!

PARIS — An airline passenger says her Paris-to-Dublin flight was delayed nearly two hours after celebrated French actor Gerard Depardieu urinated on the plane ahead of takeoff... He must be able to pee a long distance.

France's Europe-1 radio aired an interview with the passenger, identified only by her first name Daniele, saying that Depardieu appeared inebriated...really?

Calls for comment from Depardieu's agent went unanswered Wednesday...I wonder why? Isn't this something an agent dreams of?

The actor is also a Paris restaurateur and the owner of a vineyard in Burgundy... Would he like someone doing this, with his wine, in his restaurant?

Just one more "star" with boorish unacceptable public behaviour.

Do you call it soda or pop? This is one of many things that have various regional differences. A good Coney Island Hot Dog or a Corned Beef Sandwich. I'll bet there is lot's of disagreement about where to get the best Pizza. There are also things that are (or were) sold in particular area's of the country. Like, Tastykakes or Sweet Tea.

Andi, our cruising buddy may remember this? We were having lunch on a ship cruising Alaska and our tablemates asked the waiter for Sweet Tea. Now, imagine this if you will, the waiter has lived most of his life in Estonia. To him, Sweet Tea is Iced Tea, with lots of sugar. To me, Sweet Tea is Iced Tea, with lots of sugar. The tablemates, from The South, said Sweet Tea is something different. I remember them telling us but now I am drawing a blank.

This morning I heard a radio ad for McDonald's Sweet Tea. Is nothing sacred? I guess sooner or later everything and anything food related will end up sold at McDonald's. Like coffee products, and Starbucks.

I just read about a new diet "weight loss system" called Sensa. Sensa claims to help users lose significant weight, without changing their existing diet or exercise routine. All dieters have to do is sprinkle scented "Tastants" on their food, and watch the weight fall off.

Look, they claim this magic "sprinkle dust" enhances your sense of smell. This, stimulates your brain into thinking you have ingested more food. So, you eat less and you can "watch the weight fall off."....................What? Do you expect them to say the stuff tastes like crap? There are really only two ways to weigh less, more exercise and less food.

Police in Wisconsin said they are hoping someone will come forward with information about a prosthetic leg that was turned over to an officer by a woman who discovered it Aug. 4.

"The leg is a prosthetic leg with a black shoe on the bottom of the leg," the police report states. The leg has been in the police evidence room for nearly two weeks and no one has come forward to claim it.

"It's certainly a very odd situation," he said. "My understanding is they are pretty expensive.

"It does not appear as though we are doing any follow-up unless someone comes forward (probably on crutches) and reports (the leg) missing."

.......................There was one phone call inquiring about the leg. The person was missing a left and the leg in question is a right.

It just goes to show.....you should always know what leg you stand on!
