CAT ORGANIZER

JOKE: Three Catholics were talking

Three Catholic men were talking. The first said, "My son is a priest; when he walks into a room, everyone calls him 'Father'." The man piped in, "My son is a bishop; when he walks into a room, everyone calls him 'Your Grace'." The third man smiled. "My daughter is 6 feet tall with 38D breasts, a 24-inch waist, and 34-inch hips. When she walks into a room, everyone says, 'Oh, my God!' "

Favorite colors test shows CEOs are different; take the test, see what it says about you

Ask CEOs to pick their favorite color and what they select will often be very different than what most people would pick.

When 877 CEOs took an online personality color test, they were three times more likely to favor magenta than the public at large, three times less likely to select red, and 3� times less likely to choose yellow.

This, it turns out, is more than a curiosity. Psychiatry professor Rense Lange, an expert on tests for everyone from students to job hunters to those with early signs of Alzheimer's disease, has been looking hard at color tests and he has reached the conclusion that the results all but prove that CEOs are wired differently.

They are often wired in counterintuitive ways. For example, the color test shows that the typical CEO is more sensitive and private than the typical person and is less likely to be a perfectionist or to be dominant and more likely to be emotionally unstable. CEOs, it turns out, are not as self-assured as the public at large, and they are more cooperative and less forceful than the typical person, says Dewey Sadka, who has spent the last 15 years refining the color test completed by the 877 current and retired CEOs and chairmen. The heavy response from USA TODAY's CEO panel provided a significant database that was then examined against 750,000 others who have taken the online test.

BUS DRIVER IS HIGHEST PAID CITY EMPLOYEE IN MADISON WISCONSIN

Madison's highest paid city government employee last year wasn't the mayor. It wasn't the police chief. It wasn't even the head of Metro Transit.

It was bus driver John E. Nelson.

Nelson earned $159,258 in 2009, including $109,892 in overtime and other pay.

He and his colleague, driver Greg Tatman, who earned $125,598, were among the city's top 20 earners for 2009, city records show.

They're among the seven bus drivers who made more than $100,000 last year thanks to a union contract that lets the most senior drivers who have the highest base salaries get first crack at overtime.

Over all, Madison paid at least 20 employees more than $125,000 in 2009, according to city records.

After Nelson, the top paid employees in 2009 were City Comptroller Dean Brasser, who earned $151,551, and Police Chief Noble Wray, who made $143,585.

Mayor Dave Cieslewicz was paid $112,880. He wasn't among the top 20.

JOKE: "It's written in the Bible."

There once was a priest who had to spend the night in a hotel and offered hat check girl to come up to his room for dinner. After a while he started advancing on her when she stopped him and reminded him he was a holy man.
"It's o.k.," he replied, "It's written in the Bible."

So after a wild night of you-know-what the hat check girl asked to see where in the Bible it says it's okay.

The priest picks up the Bible off the dresser opens to the first page where someone wrote in pencil--"The hat check girl puts out!"
