Joke of the Week: Contributed by "B"
A dog is truly man's best friend.
If you don't believe it, just try this experiment :
Put your dog and your wife in the trunk of the car for an hour.
When you open the trunk, see which one is really happy to see you!
Stories you might have missed
1. Rate Your Wife
(A funny glimpse into the past)
2. Black cat causes 72 hour blackout in Albania
(That cat over there better stop it, man. Like every other scene has been cool.)
3. Big hairy pig attracts gawkers in Wisconsin
(This story is not about Gene Simmons from Kiss)
4. Veggie Pride Parade
(All we are saying, is give Peas a chance.)
5. Why do attractive women choose unattractive men?
(You know what's funny about this study? They didn't factor money into the equation.)
Video of the week: Contributed by "R". An inspiring message for people who have failed.

Regarding "Just One Bad Century"
"I listen to you and John every Saturday morning on WLS. I'm usually up and around because of the kids, and it's comforting to hear the both of you on the air together again. Plus, you talk about the Cubs which is a bonus."
--R
"This Week in 1908 is such a great feature. I love it."

"That Jackie Robinson story this week was an eye opener. It's hard to believe that was going on in Chicago just sixty years ago."
