Bill Clinton started jogging near his new home in Chappaqua. But on each run, he happened to jog past a hooker standing on the same street corner, day after day. With some apprehension he would brace himself as he approached her for what was most certainly to follow. "Fifty dollars!" she would shout from the curb. "No. Five dollars!" fired back Clinton. This ritual between Bill and the hooker continued for weeks. He'd run by - she'd holler, "Fifty dollars!" - he'd yell back, "Five dollars!" One day however, Hillary decided that she wanted to accompany her husband on his jog. As the jogging couple neared the problematic streetcorner, Bill realized the "pro" would bark her $50 offer and Hillary would wonder what Bill had been really doing on all his past outings. He realized he should have a darn good explanation for the junior Senator. As they jogged into the turn that would take them past the corner, Bill became even more apprehensive than usual. Sure enough, there was the hooker where she always stood. Bill tried to evade the prostitute's eyes as she watched the pair jog past. Then, from the sidewalk, the hooker yelled, "See what you get for five bucks?!"

Techie Names First Son Version 2.0 customwire.ap.org HOLLAND, Mich. (AP) -- Tacking Jr. or II onto a boy's name is too common, a new father decided, so the self-described engineering geek took a software approach to naming his newborn son. Jon Blake Cusack talked his wife, Jamie, into naming their son Jon Blake Cusack 2.0. Version 2.0 was born Tuesday at Holland Community Hospital, and the proud parents took him home Friday. "I wanted to find something different to name him besides Jon Blake," Cusack, who is self-employed with Westshore Design and Cusack Music, told The Holland Sentinel. He said he had the idea for a few months, and spent the better part of that time persuading his wife to go along. Jamie Cusack said she didn't concede until the week before the birth. She said she had "picked out the theme of the baby's room and done other things. I decided to let Jon have this." After 2.0's birth, the Cusacks sent out an electronic birth announcement. "I wrote in the birth announcement e-mail stuff, like there's a lot of features from version 1.0 with additional features from Jamie," Jon Cusack said.
