Good morning crew,

You ever get that thought in your head that you should really do something, but then you think, 'Nah, that'll never happen,' or 'I'll never need that.'

I had one of those moments when we picked up a new product called the Mighty Jump.

The Mighty Jump is a jump starter that you plug into your car's cigarette lighter. How convenient is that? No jumper cables. No standing outside in freezing weather fiddling around under your hood. And it's so small it will fit in your cup holder.

So we picked this product up a month or two ago and I thought to myself, 'Now THAT'S something I should get.' Mostly because it's ten bucks. I've spent more than ten bucks on a martini, why wouldn't I spend ten bucks (eight bucks with my employee discount) on something that could save my bacon some freezing night when my battery dies.

But I put it off, and put it off, and eventually I said to myself, 'I haven't needed it yet, I'll just save myself the ten bucks.'

I think you can guess what happened. A few nights ago when it got REALLY cold the battery in my truck died outside of the taekwondo school and I had to beg somebody to jump me.

So if you're the kind of person who would rather NOT have to go panhandling for someone to loan you the use of their car battery for a jump, invest ten bucks in a Mighty Jump. You'll be glad you have it when you need it.

A man is sitting in the coach section of a flight from New York to Chicago biting his finger nails and sweating profusely. Noticing his disturbed expression, a flight attendant walks over and says, "Sir, can I get you something from the bar to calm you down?"

The man gives a nod of approval while shaking terribly. She comes back with a drink and he downs it quickly. Ten minutes later, the flight attendant sees the same man shaking and biting his nails. She brings him another drink which he swallows immediately.

A half hour later she returns to see that the man is shaking uncontrollably, and apparently crying. "My goodness," the flight attendant says, "I've never seen someone so afraid to fly."

"I'm not afraid of flying," says the man sobbing loudly, "I'm trying to give up drinking."

Judi and Gayle were at an auto show. There they saw a hot-rod with a jacked up rear end.

"Judi, why is the back end higher than the front?" Gayle asked.

"Don't you know ANYTHING?" Judi sighed exasperated. "If you've got the back up like that, then you're always going downhill!"
