Yesterday we talked about the hottest trend in jewelry -- divorce rings. I received this email from Michelle:





I'm gonna top your divorce jewelry. Have you heard of Life Gems where they make "A certified, high-quality diamond created from a lock of hair or the cremated ashes of your loved one as a memorial to their unique life."

This is no joke! I've seen it on the news too. They make jewelry from the carbon atoms released when dead bodies are cremated from what I remember.


A little investigation confirmed her creepy findings. Life Gem creates a diamond from hair or ashes. Yikes! Website is here

And the hits just keep on comin'


Remember when postal workers started going crazy on the job, and we called it "going postal?" Well I propose we change the name to "going airline," because it's the airline workers, not the postal workers, who are going crazy.

Example #120 -- a TSA agent dumped her hot coffee all over an American Airlines pilot after he asked her to tone down the profanity.

He was concerned about the nasty language this agent was using with another co-worker in front of passengers.

The screener told him to mind his own business. When the pilot went to get her name, she hurled a hot cup of coffee at him. He wasn't seriously burned, but she is in serious trouble.

Facebook/Phones: Maybe I'm getting old, but cussing in public bothers me a whole lot more now than it ever used to. Feel the same? What bothers you more now than ever?

The wedding went great, except for the arrest...


Yes, alcohol is to blame here. Just thought I'd get that out of the way.

Brook Burke (not the famous one), was arrested during a wedding reception last weekend after she wouldn't stop slow dancing with the groom. Burke, who is married to the groom's brother, started screaming at the bride when she was asked to step aside. She then allegedly pushed a man to the ground who tried to calm her down.

Oh wait, it gets better.

She then pushed the security guard to the ground and beat the "left side of his face several times."

Again, people say she was drunk.

Video report:

I'd like to be a fly on the wall during the next Thanksgiving dinner!

Facebook/Phones: Finish the sentence: They were so drunk at the wedding they ______

You would do the same...wouldn't you?


Russ Berkman was a lucky man -- he had tickets to the Master's golf tournament...until his dog ate them. End of story, right?

Not even close

Russ so desperately wanted to go watch the practice round yesterday that he fed his Swiss mountain dog hydrogen peroxide to induce vomiting. After the pooch puked, Russ fished out the pieces, taped them back together, and took off for Augusta.

Joke of the Day


This man comes through a door to the bar and slipped on a pile of crap, he mumbles and brushes himself off. He orders a drink and sits down.

A few minutes later a younger man walks through the door yelling and screaming, and he slips on the pile of crap.

He gets up and looks around, and then he sits down next to the older guy.
The older man says, "I did that!" The younger man punches the old man and leaves.
