My favorite line?

"A third, clearly overcome by emotion, held the photo close to her chest -- then ate it."

I saw a report on that last night on the news.
Dang funny.

Sounds like Yeboah is going to be busy for awhile...

For whatever reason, Fridays are the worst day of the week for me. This line really made me laugh...

Reminds me of this story from last year . . .

In 1988, Mkele Mbembe was on holiday in Kenya after graduating
from college. On a hike through the bush, he came across a young
bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air.

The elephant seemed distressed so Mbembe approached it very carefully.

He got down on one knee and inspected the elephant's foot,
and found a large thorn deeply embedded in it.

As carefully and as gently as he could, Mbembe worked the
thorn out with his hunting knife, after which the elephant
gingerly put down its foot.

The elephant turned to face the man and with a rather stern
look on its face, stared at him. For several tense moments Mbembe
stood frozen, thinking of nothing else but being trampled.
Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned and walked away.

Mbembe never forgot that elephant or the events of that day.

Twenty years later he was walking through the London zoo .

As he approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned
and walked over to near where Mbembe and his son Tapu were standing.

The large bull elephant stared at Mbembe and lifted its front foot off
the ground, then put it down. The elephant did that several times then
trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at the man.

Remembering the encounter in 1988, Mbembe couldn't help wondering if
this was the same elephant. Mbembe summoned up
his courage, climbed over the railing and made his way into the
enclosure. He walked right up to the elephant and stared back in wonder.

Suddenly the elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of
Mbembe's legs and swung him wildly back and forth along the railing,
killing him.

Probably wasn't the same elephant.

It's a hot day on the African savanna. Two elephants are down at the watering hole. All of a sudden one of the elephants reaches out with his trunk and snatches a turtle that had been sunning itself on a log. The elephant throws the turtle onto the ground and pounds on it with his trunk. He then picks up the turtle and throws it up against a tree. Finally, he lumbered over to where the turtle was lying, stunned, on the ground and, very precisely, trod upon it.

The second elephant is shocked. "What did you do that for?" he asked.

The first elephant answered, "Two years ago at this waterhole, a turtle nipped me on the trunk. It hurt me so badly that I could hardly eat for a week!"

The second elephant said, "But why take it out on that turtle? He wasn't bothering you, he was just sitting their minding his own business!"

The first elephant explained, "That was the same turtle. I was just getting even."

Astonished, the second elephant exclaims, "The same turtle? How can you be sure?"

The first elephant said, "I have turtle recall."
