..everyone is nuts in this world. 1. US has Jello and mud wrestling. Sans tops. 2. French grow pears in bottles for brandy usage. 3. US still has hanging...great for 'rubber neckers'. Makes it a 'long, drawn-out process'. 4. US blue collar take their Friday paychecks to the local CASH FOR CHECKS place, pay 10% or more for the privilege. Or even worse, take personal checks in ahead of time, postdate them, and pay an effective annual rate approximating 228%. (wife sees what is left over from the bar tab.) 5.

New Jersey issued a citation to a fellow for killing a rat in his garden with a baseball bat..cruelty to animals...(due to press and resultant public outcry, he got off) 7. 98% of the population believes the millennium begins Jan. 1, 2000, or doesn't care, they will celebrate anyway. 8.
