Thank goodness mid-term elections are almost over – I’m getting sick of my mailbox being stuffed with campaign ads.

1. On a Chinese university that is requiring law and business students to take golf lessons to prepare them for a business world where deals are made on the golf course:
“This class comes right after the ever popular 'You Can't Get Pregnant in the Mouth' class."

2. On a drunk Norwegian who surprised prison guards by breaking into their northern Norway jail:
“He was probably looking for a ‘captive cell-ibration.’”

3. On the family of the military soldier, whose picture is used in those “How about a nice cup of shut the f*ck up” pictures, being upset by this:
“May I be the first to tell this family to please have a nice cup of ‘shut the f*ck up.’”

4. On four Italians who have constructed what they believe is the world's first full-sized chocolate igloo:
“Somewhere in the world, Michael Jackson read this story, and immediately became happy that he is not the only one.”

5. On a new study that reports most parents are underestimating what it will cost to put their kids through college, AND how much financial support they will be eligible for:
“However, these same parents knew the exact street value of their children. ”

6. On Wesley Snipes being indicted for tax fraud:
“Guess we may have to put Major League 4 on hold.”

7. On a childcare expert who claims that parents should not call their youngsters 'naughty' because it damages their self-confidence:
“As long as we are still allowed to call them annoying little sh*ts.”

8. On Ali Jones, a rapper in music star Nelly's St. Lunatics group, who was allegedly tasered 46 times in Hazelwood, Mo. by an area police officer:
“The good news is that the stuttering will help his rap career.”
