OT...I'm early now...
Sorry, needed a chuckle after this OEM stuff...going out at 6 and my original 5pm was rescheduled for tomorrow, glad I didn't lose that one. They sent conf to wrong e-mail address. Whew...ok - not going to be here on Friday, hubby is turning the big 50...so I'm going to spend the day spoiling him.
Some Olympic humor - actually two for the price of one 
1)
As the population ages, there's been a push for more Olympic games participation from the elderly. In this year's Olympics in Athens, new specially designed competitions have been added, including "The Old Broad Jump," "Bungee Traction" and "The DeCatheter."
2)
Three guys are trying to sneak into the Olympic Village in Athens to scoop souvenirs and autographs.
The first says, "Let's watch the registration table to see if there's a crack in the security system that we can utilize to scam our way in."
Immediately, a burly athlete walks up to the table and states, "Angus MacPherson. Scotland. Shotput." He opens his gym bag to display a shotput to the registration attendant.
The attendant says, "Very good, Mr. MacPherson. Here is you packet of registration materials, complete with hotel keys, passes to all Olympic events, meal tickets, and other information."
HOT DOG! The first guy grabs a small tree sapling, strips off the limbs and roots, walks up the registration table and states: "Chuck Wagon. Canada. Javelin."
The attendant says, "Very good, Mr. Wagon. Here is you packet of registration materials, hotel keys, passes, meal tickets, and so forth. Good luck!"
The second guy grabs a street utility manhole cover, walks up the registration table and states: "Dusty Rhodes. Australia. Discus."
The attendant says, "Terrific, Mr. Rhodes. Here is you packet of registration materials, hotel keys, a full set of passes, and meal tickets. Enjoy yourself."
They scamper in, but suddenly realize the third guy is missing. They groan - OH NO. He's a simpleton from the hills of Vermont. They forgot to make sure he doesn't do something stupid and blow their cover stories.
They spot him walking with a roll of barbed wire under his arm. He walks up the registration table and states: "Foster Bean. Hardwick, Vermont. Fencing."
