Today's Jokes by Wendel Potter

________


Laura Ling is paying tribute to Bill Clinton, who helped negotiate the reporter's release from a North Korean prison last year.  She's naming her new baby daughter after the former president.   At first everyone was confused.  They thought Laura was naming the kid Slick because she was born during the oil spill.


Why name the kid after Clinton?  Wasn't handing out cigars tribute enough?


The chief of British Petroleum said today that his company vows to clean up every drop of oil from the spill.  You know BP.  They really mean business.  They've already got a crew from Jiffy Lube on standby.


The British Petroleum CEO said BP plans to return the Gulf Coast to its original state...which I believe is France.


That oil slick is getting closer to Florida's beaches.  But not to worry.  BP has already promised to change the sand every 3 months or 3 million gallons, whichever comes first.


And it's being reported today that tar balls are appearing on Florida's shore.  They don't know yet if the tar balls are coming from the oil spill or from  residents of a nearby retirement community who forgot their Depends.


Robert L. McNeil, the man who, in 1955, introduced Tylenol as an alternative pain reliever, has passed away. According to family,  his epitaph will read:  Bob's not dead, he's just been recalled.


A bad call by an umpire spoiled a perfect game for Detroit Tigers' pitcher Armando Galarraga Wednesday night.  Face it, any time an umpire is involved in a game, it's not going to be perfect.


The LA Lakers dominated the Boston Celtics in the opening game of the NBA finals last night.  Notable Laker fan Jack Nicholson said, "It was like watching the game through rose-colored glasses."


The wife of baseball great Mark McGwire gave birth to triplets.  One more and it would have been a grand slam.
