Some Interesting Stories

OREOS ON THE INTERSTATE-- Monday morning, 14 tons of double oreos spilled out on I-80 near Morris, Illinois. The cause of the accident is under investigation as detectives wait for the milk truck to show up.


$175 HAMBURGER IN NEW YORK CITY-- All this inflation has hit that American staple, the hamburger. The Wall Street Burger Shoppe is offering a burger and fries for $175. Even with our worthless money, that's a lot of bucks.

It is Kobe beef topped with foie gras, exotic mushrooms, shaved black truffles and with a golden truffle mayonaise (chopped black truffles, truffle oil, and gold flakes). And, it comes with an order of fries!!!

They've sold some of these, but their staple is the $4 Shoppe Burger, a little more within my financial means.


TEACHER DUCT TAPES STUDENTS IN HOTEL ROOM-- A chaperone from Milbury, Ohio, sealed students in their motel rooms with duct tape. The chorus was on a field trip to Chicago. This was to make sure the students remained in their rooms during curfew. They wouldn't be able to put the tape back on if they left and came back to their rooms.

A mother, whose son claims he was worried about being trapped in his room in case of a fire, is irate and thinking about filing a legal suit since the school board backs the teacher.

As a teacher who has taken kids overnight on field trips, their sneaking out at night is a problem. I wish I'd thought of the duct tape. That won't keep someone from getting out the door in case of an emergency. Hey, mama, be careful around that McDonald's coffee.
