After one old boar after another kept turning their snouts up at her, Wilma the Pig had a makeover -- and it turned her into a star.

She found a mate, had eight piglets and made a guest appearance on a television chat show in the UK hosted by Sharon Osbourne, the wife of rock star Ozzy.

There is a factory in Northern Minnesota which makes the "Tickle Me Elmo" toys.

The toy laughs when you tickle it under the arms.

Well, Lena is hired at The Tickle Me Elmo factory and she reports for her first day promptly at 8:00 AM. The next day at 8:45 AM there is a knock at the Personnel Manager's door. The Foreman throws open the door and begins to rant about the new employee. He complains that she is incredibly slow and the whole line is backing up, putting the entire production line behind schedule. The Personnel Manager decides he should see this for himself, so the 2 men march down to the factory floor.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. -- The American Trucking Associations (ATA) will once again roll out its “phone home” campaign to help America’s truck drivers celebrate National Truck Driver Appreciation Week (NTDAW) August 20-26. ATA and its state affiliates will mark the celebration by handing out free 60-minute telephone calling cards to truck drivers at local weigh stations, rest stops, and travel plazas all across the country.

See? Even industry insiders don't get it. Show me a trucker who doesn't have a cell phone and I'll show you a trucker who left his cell phone in the truck. What truckers don't have is home time, layover pay, detention pay, adequate legal protection ... I could go on and on, but others before me have, and nobody listened to them either.

BELGRADE, Serbia -- Doctors can't believe he ate the whole thing -- and then some.

Surgeons in western Serbia have removed nails, a knife, a pen, a screw, a spoon, and a clothespin from a young man's stomach.

One of the docs said the surgeons were astonished.

"We have seen people swallow various things, but never this many,'' said Dr. Maja Gulan, who helped perform the operation Monday in Uzice, 70 miles southwest of Belgrade.

Dear Wife:

I'm writing you this letter to tell you that I'm leaving you for good. I've been a good man to you for seven years and I have nothing to show for it. These last two weeks have been hell.

Your boss called to tell me that you had quit your job today and that was the last straw. Last week, you came home and didn't even notice that I had gotten a new hair cut, cooked your favorite meal and even wore a brand new pair of silk boxers. You came home and ate in two minutes, and went straight to sleep after watching all of your soaps.
