Donald C. Milligan Jr., 36, on probation after a drug conviction, was required to report for random drug tests. Knowing that he would fail the test when he was called in, he rigged up a plastic bottle filled with a friend's urine, attached it with a tube to a plastic penis painted with makeup to match his skin, and reported to his Cleveland, Ohio, probation officer. But the probation officer, "trained to observe the sights and sounds of urination," quickly discovered the ploy and demanded a real sample. It showed positive for cocaine and opiates. Even if the officer had been fooled, though, Milligan would have lost out: the friend's urine tested positive for cocaine and opiates too. (Cleveland Plain Dealer) ...Warning: any "really good idea" you get while high probably isn't.

Thank you, Kath and Elsie.

* My Most Embarrassing Moment * =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= This story happened to a friend of our families and we have laughed about it many, many, times over the years. Since the person it happened to would literally die if she knew I was doing this, I am changing her name to Sue. She had never water skied and my dad was trying to teach her how. I'd guess that there were about 8 attempts where she was dragged in the water, then lost hold of the rope without ever coming up on top of the water. Finally, when she did get on top of the water she was too scared to stand up. So, she rode for about 3 or 4 minutes squatting on the skies before she fell back into the water. She didn't want to try again so she got into the boat. As soon as she got in the boat she told my dad she needed to go to the bathroom. Dad told her it was a good ways to get where there was a bathroom and suggested she get back in the water and go. She blushed and said that she had to poop. So, dad told her OK and that he would head to the nearest dock. He then proceeded to pull in the ski rope. Before he got the rope in, Sue just completely lost all control and pooped all over the boat. Evidentially, while she was being pulled squatting across the lake, she was getting a very effective enema. Our family has dubbed her the SUPER POOPER! Yesterday, I had all of my family over for a cook out and we got to talking about the large number of people my dad has taught to water-ski over the years and all I had to say was, "and then there was Sue!" and we all cracked up. She would kill us all if she know that we are still laughing after all this time. Name withheld

Guess we're not the ONLY ones fed up with California?? ha ha January 2000 Love my new job here in Silicon Valley. My salary is 30% higher! I have stock options! The temperature outside is 65F in winter! California is the best place on earth!!! Sure glad I moved out here. February Still looking for an apartment. Freeways everywhere to take you places. Love California! March Found a 1-bedroom apartment for $1900/mo. California is a bit more expensive than I thought. April Gas hit $2.29/gal. Somebody stole the gas from my car. That sucks.... May A small earthquake! And this is what everyone was so worried about? Almost didn't feel it. June A forest fire and a mud slide near LA. Who cares, that is far away from me! July A big earthquake... Spent 4 hours in my bathtub. Boy, that was scary. Glad we didn't have no stinking earthquakes where I grew up. August Drought! They turn on the water once a day. This sucks big time! Somebody stole the water from my car's radiator. Why did I come to California? September Decided to buy a house. Found a 2-bedroom fixer-upper for $800K. Borrowed against my stock options for down payment. Freeway traffic is worse. Today it took nearly two hours to get to and from work...each way. October My startup fired 90% of the work force, including me. The stock lost 98% of its value. My options are underwater. November Had to sell my house. Couldn't make the payments. Found a studio apartment for $2300/mo. The traffic is unbearable December Problems with electricity. They turn the electricity off several times a day. It's called "rolling blackouts." Somebody stole my car battery...what do I do now? January 2001 I'm typing this, stuck in an elevator, in complete darkness. The battery of my laptop is dying. Silicon Valley is no more. Angry hordes of former dot-commers are looting in the dark. It was fun while it lasted. I'm coming back home tomorrow.

BEING IN PRISON ~VS~ BEING A HOUSEWIFE In prison you get three square meals a day. At home, you cook three square meals a day and try to get your kids to eat it. In prison you get an hour each day in the yard to exercise and mingle. At home you get to clean the yard up so you can mow it so your kids can spread more toys all over it so that you can go out and clean it again because little Jr. can't sleep without his latest lego creation. In prison you get to watch TV, cable even. At home you get to listen to your children fight over the remote control and get treated to hours and hours of mindless cartoons thanks to cable. In prison you can read whatever you want and attend college for free. At home you get to read weekly readers starring Dick, Jane, and Spot and worry about how to send Jr. to college and still be able to eat for the next twenty years. In prison all your medical care is free. At home you have to pawn your mother's silver and fill out trillions of papers for insurance and hope the doctor will see you before you die. In prison, if you have visitors, all you do is go to a room, sit, talk and then say good-bye when you are ready or your time is up. At home you get to clean for days advance and then cook and clean up after your guests and hope that they will one day leave. In prison you can spend your free time writing letters or just hang out in your own space all day. At home you get to clean your space and everyone else's space, too, and what the heck is free time again? In prison you get your own personal toilet. At home you have to physically hold the bathroom door shut in order to keep from having someone standing over you demanding to know how long till you're done so you can do something for them. In prison the prison laundry takes care of all your dirty clothes. At home you get to take care of them yourself, plus everybody else's, and get yelled at because somebody's favorite shirt isn't clean. In prison they take you everywhere you need to go. At home you take everybody else where they need to go. In prison the guards transport all your personal effects for you and make sure nothing is missing. At home you have to lug around everybody else's stuff in your purse and then wonder who went in it and took your last dollar. In prison there are no screaming or whining children or spouses asking you to do something else for them, or screaming at you because you didn't. At home............ stop me when I get to the downside of jail, will ya?

Hello and Welcome to Folklore Unicorn~! :-) Kath

I am feeling alot better today. Just trying to find out why the insurance adjuster has not been to see the car yet. I called the company that we bought the insurance from and they got ahold of the main company. They say they are "verifying our coverage". Just how long should that take? I called them Monday and they called me back on Tuesday for more details....no word since then. I have called the main company myself twice today and just got voicemail. Now they are closed till Monday. Meanwhile, I have to try to find a way to work for Monday and Tuesday. The other nurse who lives near here doesn't allways work the same schedule as I do and is off Monday, can give me a ride on Tuesday though. I guess I will have to use my parent's car on Monday.
