So I was driving down a fairly major road in Anchorage, when I Observe a little vehicle seemingly having some issues, the vehicle is failing to maintain their lane of travel ( weaves in and out of its own lane), and is doing well under the posted speed limit. I watch the vehicle for a few blocks and think that it may be an impaired driver, and then call the Local PO-PO. They get all of the information that can be had, make / model - Plate - description of driver (all I could see was the top of a head cresting over the top of the drivers seat - the hair looked like that of a female), and with in minutes an officer pulls in behind the suspected vehicle and goes into affect. The car pulls to the left and pulls a u-turn into a parking lot. Then I see it, the driver is more than likely someone's grandmother. She advised the officer that she does not like to drive in bad weather and is trying to take it easy. Nuff said 10-8.
Now I can see this conversation around the dinner table:
"Mom, how was your day?"
"Fine Fine, met a nice man on the road after he pulled me over for DUI. Some other jerk on the road thought that I had been hitting the egg nog a little soon and called the Fuzz on me."
"Wa Wa What!"
And the conversation continues with what ever else you think could go on.
Ever notice how people who drive faster than you are jerks & people who drive slower than you are idiots? - TV

FBI / CIA E-Mail Scam
IF it says it's from the US Central Intelligence Agency or Federal Bureau of Investigation, avoid it like the plague.
An e-mail is going around, claiming to be from the CIA or FBI. And if you open it using Windows, you'll be in big trouble. It's being called the worst computer worm of the year, The Washington Post reported, and lots of people are falling for it.
The bogus e-mail claims the government has discovered you visiting 'illegal' websites and asks you to open an attachment to answer some official questions.
If you do, the worm gets in and your computer gets infected. It can disable security and firewall programs and automatically send similar e-mails to contacts in your address book.
It can also keep you from getting to computer security sites that might help fix the problem, and may even open your computer to intruders who can steal your personal data. The e-mail even includes an authentic phone number for the FBI or CIA. And that has kept government switchboard operators busy in the US.
The worm - named Sober X - has spread so fast that the CIA and the FBI have put warnings on their websites saying they did not send out the e-mail and urging people not to open the attachment. In Europe, the Austrian investigation agency is looking at a flurry of similar bogus e-mails sent in its name. 'This particular virus is a mass-mailer worm and is the largest one we have seen this year,' said a senior official at Symantec, which sells the Norton AntiVirus software. 'It's as bad as it gets. With this particular type of virus on your system, there is a high probability that your personal information will be stolen.'
A virus-research manager at McAfee said his company, which also makes anti-virus software, had logged more than 73,000 consumer computers reporting detection since the worm was discovered Monday. British e-mail security company MessageLabs said it has intercepted more than 2.7 million copies of Sober X and its variants, noting that 'the size of the attack indicates that this is a major offensive'.

Urban Legends :-)
I do truly like a good Urban Legend, Here are some that I have recently run or re-run across:
A student at an elementary school found a gopher snooping around near the janitor's shed. The kid carefully picked it up and brought it to the janitor. The janitor decided to kill the gopher so that it wouldn't be digging up the grounds. He took it into a room where the cleaning supplies were kept and sprayed a strong floor cleaning solvent on the gopher. Three cans were used on the animal, but he was still very much alive wasn't allowed on campus, so storage rooms were the only places he could sneak one. So very annoyed and tired, the janitor lit up a cigarette. This, of course, caused an explosion and the janitor was the center of it. He was badly injured from both the explosion and inhaling the floor cleaner gopher was found clinging to the wall unharmed.
-----------------------
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha - Deep Breath - ha ha ha ha ha ha... Go Gophers.!. People if their is cause to place an animal to sleep DO NOT BE CRUEL, take them to an animal center or hospital. Or Else......

Swimming in New Orleans -
*******
After hurricane Katrina caused levees to break in New Orleans, the city was exposed to waters inhabited by saltwater crocodiles. As people swam for land and cover during the days waiting to be rescued, some were dragged under by crocs that where too large and lethargic to go after their normal prey. The usual prey was being snatched by the more youthful crocs. Instead of competing with the young crocodiles, the bigger ones prefer the slow swimming of a human. Only the bigger ones have proven to be dangerous. The smaller ones do, however, go after house pets and small children.

Found this one a few years ago, and it has umm uhhh come back around.?.

Years ago while lying in my hammock I noticed my dog dragging something under the fence. Upon inspection, to my dismay, I realized it was the next door neighbor's 10 year old daughter's rabbit.For years I had watched her come home from school and head straight out to it's cage, free it and play with it in the yard. I knew today would be no different and fearing for our dog, I had to think fast.The rabbit was dirty, so I washed it off with the hose, combed it with the dog brush and blew it dry with the leaf blower. Upon finishing its grooming I jumped the fence and replaced it back in its cage hoping its death would be written off as "natural causes". Back to the hammock.Within the hour the neighbors Volvo pulled in as usual and out popped the little girl, and as usual she headed straight for the cage. Only this time she stopped about six feet away and screamed: "DDDDAAAADDDDYYYY!"Her father panic stricken stood looking at the cage. Being the good neighbor that I am I rushed to fence and asked if there was anything I could do.Her father less than calmly blurted, "What kind of sick bastard would dig up a little girl's dead rabbit and put it back in it's cage?"

Hunting Story
*****
Some guys had heard of a good hunting spot, but needed the permission of the owner of the property. One of them went up to the farmer's house to ask if they could hunt on his land. The farmer agreed and told him that while he was out there, could he shoot the bull in the pasture for him. The hunter agreed. He decided to play a little joke on his friends and when he got in the car he told them the farmer had said no, so they were going to have to teach him a lesson. He pulled up to the field where the cows were, got his rifle and killed the bull, and said "That'll teach him." His friends jumped out of the car laughing, grabbed their guns and shot several cows before the dismayed joker could stop them.As they paid the farmer for all the cows they'd killed, he told them that if they wanted to do some more hunting, he had some pigs out back that were a lot cheaper than cows.

A women who had been in south America had been stung in her breast by a tropical insect. When she got home a few weeks later she started having breast pains. She went to her docter who said it was problably a rash and gave her a cream. A week later the women came back complaining that the pain had only gotten worse and that the cream had done nothing. The doctor recommended her one of his friends who was a specialist in breast cancer to see if he could help but unfortunately he was on vacation for two weeks. The pains got so bad the lady bandaged her breast. She waited the 2 weeks for the doctor to come back and went to see him. When she told the doctor the problem he told her to take the bandages off her breast. When she did to their amazement were about 9 holes in her nipple area in each a larva crawling inside. Apparently the insect had laid its eggs in her breast and they had hatched and began to feed off the fat and even milk tubes in the women's breast. The doctor immediately had her taken into surgery were they removed the larva. They found that the holes in her breast were up to 5cm deep.

Not the right Dog
*****
A young lady was invited to visit a very rich old lady's house one day for tea. She nervously rang the bell and the butler showed her in. Right away she noticed a large dirty mutt chewing the furniture enthusiastically. As she had her tea and was shown around the house by the old woman, she couldn't believe they let the dog behave the way it did. The dog chewed at the furniture, ripped the curtains and relieved himself on the carpet. The young girl didn't say anything of course, assuming that besides being rich, perhaps the old lady was also eccentric. As the woman walked her to the door she said: "I hope you'll come back again sometime, but next time PLEASE leave your dog at home."
--------------------------
Be carefully what you bring home!
*****
A rich old woman was visiting Mexico when a small ugly dog approached her on the sidewalk. She couldn't resist his sad eyes, so she took him back to her hotel and fed and bathed him.For the remainder of the trip the lady and her dog were inseparable. When the time came to return home, she smuggled the small dog over the border so she could keep him.Within a few days he got sick and she immediately rushed him to the vet, but there was nothing that could be done, he died in the office. After she stopped crying, the grief-stricken woman asked the vet what kind of dog he had been. The shocked vet looked at her and said: "Lady, that's no dog, it's a Mexican Sewer Rat!"
