This one happened to my aunt.  She was asked to bring a urine sample
to the obstetrician and she couldn't find the container, so she
used a wine bottle.  She went into a store on the way to the Dr. and
the car window was broken and the bottle stolen.

Here's an UL...at least I've been told my everyone I tell my story to
that its an UL (and I don't recall seeing it in the enormously-huge
FAQ)

My father told me about a colleague who was writing a book. The editor
of the book was very PC and decided that the professor couldn't use
the word "black" when referring to African-Americans. So the editor
simply used a "search-and-replace" command to search for every "black"
reference and replace it with "African-American."

Unfortunately, this resulted in "blacktop" (as in asphalt) becoming
"African-Americantop", a "black-and-white issue" becoming an
"African-American-and-white issue", etc.

Needless to say, the professor was rather upset.

But as I say, every time I tell this story, people throw "UL" in my
face. I admit it has a lot of UL tendencies....

Anyone else heard this one before?

Can happen, and *did* happen to the wife of a friend of mine (WOAF?)!

Third delivery; nervous parents and mom-in-law kept calling doctor
about progressing labor. Doc says not to worry, still *very* early
in labor, also *very* late at night; get some sleep, come to hospital
in the morning, and we'll check her out... Around 5 AM, she's all
the more convinced something's about to happen, so they start getting
ready to go. Grandma takes Mom into the bathrooom for a last potty
break; *SPLOOSH!!*; alarums and excursions!; Dad runs in, Mom is
looking between her legs into the bowl; he reaches in and grabs
daughter out of her first (cold!!) bath... All OK, but Doc got
*royally* chewed out, needless to say.

The trick now is to avoid letting ANY other kids, particularly
her siblings, hear the story! Can you imagine the hazing?
(Probably save the story for an x-teenth birthday...)

    In October in Los Angeles, an 18-year-old gang member who was
    leaning out a car window (probably to position himself for a
    drive-by shooting, police said) was killed when his driver drove
    too close to a parked car, sending his head through the rear

Well people, I would like to revisit the story where a woman
(or anyone) lifts a heavy car off of a trapped child.  The
story illustrates various points such as the power of the mind,
what the body is capable of under great stress, etc., etc.  An
example is the following post from another newsgroup (not in the
alt sewer):

to stop her station wagon when it rolled down a  mildly sloped drivewy
towards her child, then called for help while holding the car in place.
She ended up in the hospital for a bit, probably with back problems.

Since I could, when training for cross country, lift the rear wheels of
a small or medium sized car off the ground for a few seconds, I assume
that it is possible for most people if adrenalinized.  It is mostly leg
and lower back strength.

I did a search on a database of several US newspapers with national

Has anyone got anymore information on this one ??

--

There was quite a good story in the paper today, a possible UL. It
told of two TV news casters in Zimbabwe who were disciplined for
bursting out in laughter after reading a story about a woman who gave 
birth on a train. The baby was born in the toilet on the train,
literally 'in the toilet' and was flushed through to the track below. 
The train was halted and the baby was found fortunately alive.

This was in the Argus (Cape Town Paper Daily) on 28th December
(today). The newsreader bit might be true but the baby falling from
a train got me wondering. Why on earth would a woman give birth into
a toilet? Still it could happen......

I take it that everyone is familiar with the 'forbidden' sign - the round red
one with diagonal red stripe with a picture of the 'forbidden activity' in the
centre. 

Well in good old Holland they have a round red sign with a picture of a dog 
pooping in the middle, with NO diagonal red stripe !! Yes thats right 
folks, if your dog want a poop then this is the place to drag it. Unfortunately
the sign I have a photo of is right next to a childrens playground !

I believe.  We are dating ourselves here.  There used to be many scholl 
yard rumors about kids that ate fizzies and exploded their stomaches and 
similar.  Never stopped any of us from chewing on 'em tho'.
Now we have Poprocks and other sorts of candies for exloding stomache 
rumors.

Fizzies.  They don't make fun food like that anymore.

Pope Charles   SubGenius Pope Of Houston    Fizzies, "Bobs" favorite if 
you dissolve 'em in gin.
