Pardon, is that a phone up your ass?

There was a late breaking story last Friday about inmates in a Salvadoran prison who smuggled cell phones, chargers, and extra SIM cards into their cells by hiding them in their bowels (that's rectum for you Sue) to conduct their gang business from behind bars. See full story: http://www.smh.com.au/news/phones--pdas/pass-the-phone-amigo/2006/09/09/1157222362436.html

If you're sitting at your desk right now asking, What the Fuck? -- you're not alone. My good friend Paul asked himself the same thing and came up with these top 10 responses:

10. Actually, this has nothing to do with communication, they just set the phone to vibrate for a cheap thrill.
9. Don't drop the phone has just become the new catch phrase in Mexican prisons.
8. That shit is off the hook!
7. Introducing the new Chocolate from LG.
6. I might lose you, I'm going through a tunnel.
5. Reach out, reach out and touch someone.
4. Motorola just announced that Katie Couric will be endorsing their new colonoscopy camera phone
3. Cingular Wireless, more bars in more places.
2. I just got off the phone with a total asshole.
1. This totally trumps my splinter in the ass story

Disclaimer: While Paul was willing to tempt ridicule by allowing his jokes on the internet, he would like everyone to know that he will not be placing the x-rays taken of the splinter in his ass on the internet.

For all of you who are now intrigued by the splinter story, please leave a comment and maybe we can convince Paul to share with everyone!

"Beyonce, Beyonce!"

Steve Arnos doing his trombone routine is an old school three girls and a boy favorite. This is probably because this is the only other white person that has moves like we do.

Crikey!

Steve Irwin was pronounced dead today after being punctured in the chest by a sting ray. The sting ray, which has a serrated spine that is filled with poison, wounded Irwin while he was approaching it in hopes to capture it on film for his newest project. Doctors said that Irwin most likely died instantly due to the damage done to his heart and not necessarily the poison from the sting ray. John Howard, the Australian prime minister, was quoted saying, "It's a huge loss to Australia. He was a wonderful character. He was a passionate enviornmentalist. He brought joy and entertainment and excitement to millions of people."

The news of Steve Irwin's death is a blow that will be felt all around the world. For years we have all learned as well as laughed with him. May he rest in peace and may we all be thankful for him being such a dedicated conservationist.
