All the news unfit to print all the time.

The average cost of rehabilitating a seal after the Exxon
Valdez oil spill in Alaska was $80,000.  At a special ceremony,
hosted by K8DX (the project manager) two of the most expensively
saved animals were released back into the wild amid cheers and
applause from onlookers.  A minute later they were both eaten by
a killer whale.

When K3UA was a psychology student at Penn State he rented out
his spare room to a carpenter in order to nag him constantly to
complete his doctorial thesis on human behavior. After weeks of
needling, the carpender snapped and beat K3UA repeatedly with an
vibroflex bug, after getting out of the hospital Phil changed his
major to electrical engineering.

After the 1998 CQ WW K3LR made an attempt on the world HyGain
flagpole/tower -sitting record and its $100,000 prize money.
Suffering from the flu he came down eight hours after breaking
the 300 day record, his sponsor HyGain meanwhile had sold out
to MFJ, who then went bankrupt. His wife had left him and when he
defaulted on the mortgage while sitting on the tower the mortgage
company sold his house W3LPL.

Mrs. K8AZ came home to find Tom in the kitchen, shaking
frantically with what looked like a wire running from his waist
towards the electric kettle.  Intending to jolt him away from the
deadly current she whacked him with a handy plank of wood by the
back door, breaking his  arm in two places.  Till that moment 
Tom had been happily listening to pileup tapes on his Walkman.

Two animal rights protesters our own K8CX & ND8L were protesting
at the cruelty of sending pigs to a slaughterhouse in North Carolina.
Suddenly the pigs, all two thousand of them, escaped through a broken
fence and stampeded, trampling our two North Coast brothers, their
injurys were not considered life threatening.

And finally,

W3GH didn't pay enough postage on a letter bomb he sent G3SXW
for refusing to qsl a 160 meter ZD7 operation, it came back with
"return to sender" stamped on it.  Thinking it was a qsl from the
resent T31 operation, he opened it and was blown to bits.

Well folks, see you all at the club meeting on friday night.
