Today is for you Mr. or Mrs. Smith! It's National Smith Day marking the birth of Captain John Smith in 1580. There are supposedly 2.4 million Smiths in North America. Today is also Schoolhouse Rock Day celebrating the premiere of the ABC-TV classic on this day in 1973 (Here's my favorite). One more -- it's Wheel of Fortune Day marking the debut of the game show hosted by Chuck Woolery on this day in 1973. Yep, Pat and Vanna didn't take over until 1981.

Tease (for Facebook/Twitter/Show)
It sounds like the set up for a joke: Why did the wife call the SWAT team on her husband... punchline: Because of his butt! Let's sort it all out here (your blog address)

Butt Dial Gone Way Wrong
We've all been butt dialed, right? That's where you get a phone call from someone's cell phone that is stuck in their pocket or purse, which accidentally dialed your number. Do you listen in?
A woman in Winnetka, Illinois, panicked the other night when she got a butt dial call from her husband's phone. She listened in and THOUGHT she heard the word "gun" several times during a muffled conversation. Her husband is an administrative employee at the school district, so she immediately called police to inform them of a hostage situation. The SWAT team raced to the scene -- 30 of them. It didn't take long to determine there was nothing going on. In fact, the husband wasn't even there -- he was driving home at the time talking out loud to himself. Police interviewed both the man and woman and decided to not press charges.
What's the craziest thing you ever heard during a butt-dialed phone call?

Awk-waaard
Get this -- TMZ reports that until Tuesday, Christina Aguilera's ex-hubby, Jordan Bratman, continued to live under the same roof as his ex-wife. Worse -- her new boyfriend moved in, as well. That's right, Christina, Jordan and new boyfriend Matt Rutler were all living together in Christina's (incredibly large) home. A source reports that things were "getting really awkward." Jordan had enough and moved out Tuesday.
Can anyone relate, or even TOP that crazy living situation?

Two winning tickets split the Mega Millions jackpot the other night. One ticket was sold in Idaho, the other in Washington State. The winners will split $380 million! Is that the biggest jackpot ever? It's close, but it's not #1. Here are the top three (before the latest winners):
#3) $340 million (Powerball) in 2005. It went to one family who spread the wealth 9 ways.
#2) $365 million (Powerball) in 2006. Eight players at a ConAgra Foods plant in Lincoln, Neb pitched in to buy the winning ticket. After the lump sum payout, each employee got $15.5 million.
#1) $390 million (Mega Millions) in 2007. This is still the largest jackpot ever and it went to a couple in New Jersey who "retired immediately," and a truck driver in Georgia.

Joke of the Day
Little eight-year-old Nancy was in the garden filling in a hole when her neighbor peered over the fence. Interested in what the youngster was doing, he asked: "What are you doing there, Nancy?"
"My goldfish died," Nancy sobbed. "And I've just buried him."
The obnoxious neighbor laughed and said condescendingly: "That's a really big hole for a little goldfish, don't you think?"
Nancy patted down the last heap of earth with her shovel and replied: "That's because he's inside your cat."
