Good morning crew,
Here's one I bet you didn't know. Laughing can kill you.
It's called Fatal Hilarity (I'm not making this stuff up).
It's not very common. One of the more recent cases occurred
in 1975. Alex Mitchell, a 50-year-old bricklayer from King's
Lynn, England, literally died laughing while watching an
episode of The Goodies.
According to his wife, who was a witness, Mitchell was unable
to stop laughing while watching a sketch in the episode 'Kung
Fu Kapers' in which Tim Brooke-Taylor, dressed as a kilted
Scotsman, used a set of bagpipes to defend himself from a
psychopathic black pudding (once again...I'm not kidding).
After twenty-five minutes of continuous laughter Mitchell
finally slumped on the sofa and expired from heart failure.
His widow later sent the Goodies a letter thanking them for
making Mitchell's final moments so pleasant.
At this point I am obligated to point out that neither Clean
Laffs nor Clean Laffs Joe (AKA Cecil Merriweather, AKA Flint
Ironstag) is legally liable for any deaths resulting from
reading this publication.
If you have a heart condition you are recommended to stop
reading now.
Laugh it up,
Joe

Crystal Nail File 2-Pack
The Latest Innovation In Nail Care...
Normal Price: $14.99
DEAL PRICE: $5.99 for two -- Get Two Sets (4 files) $9.98
Crystal Glass nail files are the perfect solution for shaping
both natural and artificial nails. The files are very gentle
on the natural nail and with regular use can help prevent
splitting and peeling and they give a lovely smooth finish.
Extremely hygienic... unlike other nail files, the Crystal
Glass nail file is not porous and cannot absorb water and
create an environment for disease (bacterial or fungal). Plus
they can be disinfected, boiled or sterilized by any known means
or simply washed under hot running water.
Mostly you're going to love how they provide a smoother filing
process. NO MORE JAGGED EDGES...
Great for acrylic nails and in the place of a pumice stone. These
files feature two levels of abrasion.

"We estimate that there are perhaps 20,000 prehistoric
hunter-gatherers frozen up in those glaciers. Now, if they
simply thaw and wander around, it's not a problem, but if
they find a leader - a Captain Caveman, if you will - we'll
be facing an even more serious problem."
--Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, on the dangers of
global warming

way ahead of you." --David Letterman

When I was 28, I was teaching English in a high school where
occasionally the faculty and staff were allowed to dress
down. One of those days I donned a sweatshirt and slacks. A
student came in, and his eyes widened. "Wow!" he exclaimed.
"You should wear clothes like that every day. You look, like,
twenty years younger.

Artifacts are a major portion of an American-Indian reser-
vation's economy. Annually, thousands of tourists visit
reservations and most will not leave without purchasing at
least one memento of the traditional Indian culture.
One enterprising Indian was able to outsell his competitors
in the sale of wooden dolls by selling them at only a
fraction of the cost others had to charge. On examination
of his dolls they found that where traditionally hard wood
was used, this Indian would use cheap pine on which he glued
thin pieces of fine mahogany, thus being able to produce
the dolls at only a fraction of the cost.
While he claimed his dolls were still authentic, his com-
petitors complained that it was only a cheap Sioux Veneer.
