JOKE: A woman was at the hairdresser
A woman was at her hairdresser's getting her hair styled for a trip to Rome with her husband.. She mentioned the trip to the hairdresser, who responded:
" Rome ? Why would anyone want to go there? It's crowded and dirty... You're crazy to go to Rome . So, how are you getting there?"
"We're taking Continental," was the reply. "We got a great rate!"
"Continental?" exclaimed the hairdresser. " That's a terrible airline. Their planes are old, their flight attendants are ugly, and they're always late. So, where are you staying in Rome ?"
"We'll be at this exclusive little place over on Rome's Tiber River called Teste."
"Don't go any further. I know that place. Everybody thinks it's gonna be something special and exclusive, but it's really a dump."
"We're going to go to see the Vatican and maybe get to see the Pope."
"That's rich," laughed the hairdresser. You and a million other people trying to see him. He'll look the size of an ant.
Boy, good luck on this lousy trip of yours. You're going to need it."
A month later, the woman again came in for a hairdo. The hairdresser asked her about her trip to Rome .
"It was wonderful," explained the woman, "not only were we on time in one of Continental's brand new planes, but it was overbooked, and they bumped us up to first class. The food and wine were wonderful, and I had a handsome 28-year-old steward who waited on me hand and foot.
And the hotel was great! They'd just finished a $5 million remodeling job, and now it's a jewel, the finest hotel in the city. They, too, were overbooked, so they apologized and gave us their owner's suite at no extra charge!"
"Well," muttered the hairdresser, "that's all well and good, but I know you didn't get to see the Pope."
"Actually, we were quite lucky, because as we toured the Vatican, a Swiss Guard tapped me on the shoulder, and explained that the Pope likes to meet some of the visitors, and if I'd be so kind as to step into his private room and wait, the Pope would personally greet me.
Sure enough, five minutes later, the Pope walked through the door and shook my hand! I knelt down and he spoke a few words to me."
"Oh, really! What'd he say ?"
He said: "Who fucked up your hair?"
Cat's incredible journey.. 2,000 miles to find owners
A cat reportedly trekked 2,000 miles to find his owners after they moved house without him.
Ravila Hairova, 52, thought her grey cat Karim would find the change too upsetting so she asked neighbors to take him in.
She even left his favorite chair, cushion and food bowls behind in Gulistan, Uzbekistan, so he would feel at home.
But two years later she found her bedraggled, starving pet waiting on her doorstep at her new home in Liska, Russia.
"I knew he had disappeared from my neighbors' home a few days after we left which was very sad but we never heard another word about him," she said.
"Then I was walking along the road and I saw this cat which seemed to be waiting for me. When I got closer I saw it was Karim - thin, and in very poor condition but it was him.
"He is very happy now and so are we. I've no idea how he found us but I'm very glad he did."
Ravila's husband Lev Kondratyev, 46, said: "He looks like he used up all of his nine lives to get to us - but it's definitely him.
"There are certain marks on his body including a scar on his tail when it was caught in the door that show us he is 100 per cent our Karim - and he obviously recognized us as well."
MOOSE ON THE LOOSE AT THE BEACH
It was a perfect day for a dip Friday at Long Sands Beach in York, Maine - and that was true for both man ... and moose.
A female moose surprised surfers and sunbathers on Friday morning by swimming through the waves, startling beachgoers when it rose up out of the water.
The moose then jogged down the beach and headed back inland - it was last seen heading toward Shore Rd. in York. Moose are not an uncommon sight, even in Southern Maine - but it is rare to see one at one of southern Maine's more popular beaches.
DOH: 6-Year-Old Ohio Girl on Homeland Security's 'No Fly' List
WESTLAKE, Ohio - Alyssa Thomas, 6, is a little girl who is already under the spotlight of the federal government. Her family recently discovered that Alyssa is on the "no fly" list maintained by U.S. Homeland Security.
"We were, like, puzzled," said Dr. Santhosh Thomas. "I'm like, well, she's kinda six-years-old and this is not something that should be typical."
Dr. Thomas and his wife were made aware of the listing during a recent trip from Cleveland to Minneapolis. The ticket agent at the Continental counter at Hopkins Airport notified the family. "They said, well, she's on the list. We're like, okay, what's the story? What do we have to do to get off the list? This isn't exactly the list we want to be on," said Dr. Thomas.
The Federal Bureau of Investigations in Cleveland will confirm that a list exists, but for national security reasons, no one will discuss who is on the list or why.
The Thomas family was allowed to make their trip but they were told to contact Homeland Security to clear-up the matter. Alyssa just received a letter from the government, notifying the six-year-old that nothing will be changed and they won't confirm nor deny any information they have about her or someone else with the same name.
"She's been flying since she was two-months old, so that has not been an issue," said Alyssa's dad. "In fact, we had traveled to Mexico in February and there were no issues at that time."
According to the Transportation Security Administration, Alyssa never had any problems before because the Secure Flight Program just began in June for all domestic flights. A spokesperson will only say, "the watch lists are an important layer of security to prevent individuals with known or suspected ties to terrorism from flying."
Right now, Alyssa has other priorities. "My Barbies, my magic mirror and jumping on my bed!" But her name will likely stay on the list and as for the next time she flies, the FBI says they'll rely on the common sense of the security agents.
"She may have threatened her sister, but I don't think that constitutes Homeland Security triggers," said Dr. Thomas.
The Thomas family can still fly, but the check-in process will likely take much longer. They plan on making another appeal to U.S. Homeland Security.
King of the swimmers: How orangutan Suryia loves a summer dip
When people talk about getting an all-over tan for summer, they're not usually talking about getting an all-over orangutan.
But 30-year-old Moksha Bybee has the most unusual of swimming partners - a seven-year-old urangutan who clings to her as she dives beneath the surface.
The jungle-dwelling creatures are not known for their love of the water, but Suryia appears to have permanently swapped tree trunks for swimming trunks.
Last one in's a chimp: Suryia, a seven-year-old urangutan, has taken a shine to diving into a pool with bikini-clad trainer Moksha Bybee at at Myrtle Beach Safari in South Carolina
Smiles all round: Moksha and Suryia smile for the underwater camera, and Suryia even manages a wave
And Mrs Bybee says it's virtually impossible to keep Suryia from the pool on a nice day.
The two make an unusual sight as they lark about at the Myrtle Beach Safari park in South Carolina.
Mrs Bybee said that Suryia spent only three weeks learning how to swim and now can't get enough of his new skill.
Staff introduced Suryia to their 67ft pool after they noticed he had an unusual love for splashing around in the bath.
Woohoo! With his hair streaming back as Moksha swims through the water, Suryia certainly looks like he's having a whale of a time in the safari park pool
Swimming buddies: Moksha says Suryia only took three weeks to learn how to swim, and can now paddle up to 20ft unaided - having come up with a unique 'Borneo Crawl'
She said: 'Suryia's learning curve has been incredible. His favourite thing is to dive into the water on my back. 'When I surface he pulls at me almost to say, "Again, again".'
And he's not just a dab hand at diving - Suryia is able to swim up to 20 feet unaided using his rudimentary 'Borneo crawl'.
Staff at the park believe that the plucky seven-year-old is the world's first aquatic orangutan.
Jacuzzi anyone? Staff at the Myrtle Beach Safari believe that Suryia might be the world's first aquatic orangutan. If nothing else, he's been working on his poolside manner
