"BE NICE TO JOE SINDELAR DAY" COMPLETE FAILURE 

    Morrisonites claimed they would rather get hit by the Mir space station than to have to be nice to Joe Sindelar, even for one hour! Even Joe's wife, who first requested the "Be nice to Joe Sindelar Day" said she couldn't do it either.  "I tried to ignore him but it didn't work." 
SECRET DEAL GETS AMERICANS HOME FROM CHINA 
Most Americans THINK that they know the reason the Chinese released the 24 Americans that crashed landed in China after being struck by a Chinese pilot, i.e., President Bush said he was sorry.  That was not the REAL reason The Chronicle has discovered. Secret negotiations reveal that the President threaten to send JOE SINDELAR to China if the "detainees" were not released. The Chinese responded with an immediate release of the crew of  24. 
    J & J DOES SPEEDY REPAIR!
  As rare as Ronnie Leigh "fixing a flat the same day it comes in" is a speedy repair at J & J Auto. THE CHRONICLE offers no definite reason for that; it could be their popularity or the fact that Crazy Jeff's broken engines block the entrance. Nevertheless, Clarance Benes got a speedy repair on his pickup when he told Jeff he needed his truck for a return trip to Kentucky. "Let's fix this so we can get him out of the state!" Jeff told crazy Jeff.
JOE FAILS INTELLIGENCE TEST FOR SUMMER JOB
  Joe Sindelar was hoping to make a little extra money this summer as a crash dummy for Ford Motor Company.  Ford officials looked at him and replied, "Although, we are likely to have some openings, our crash dummies are more highly qualified than you appear to be." However, they agreed to allow him to take an intelligence test designed especially for this job.  He failed miserably although he claims he never took it, the results would be the same. Here are some of the questions... (answers below...)
1. Do people in Great Britain observe the Fourth of July?
2. If you take two apples out of a basket of 13 and someone adds 3 apples to the basket, how many apples do you have?
SCIENCE FAIR BIG SUCCESS AT MORRISON SCHOOL
Science teachers Stacy Vincent and Randy Shiever did a great job in preparing practically the whole school in a Science Fair that occupied the old and New gyms.  Exhibits were many and varied and some very unusual research questions were being addressed.  For example, one exhibit explored this question, "How many Joe Sindelars would it take to screw in a light bulb?"  Another was "How long would it take Joe Sindelar to find a corner in the White House's Oval office?"
My personal favorite was the comparison study. It asked the question, "If you took Joe Sindelar's brain and laid it on the edge of a razor blade, what would that be similar to? The answer? A bb rolling down the middle of a 8 lane super highway.

 (answers for intelligence test: 1. yes 2. you still have two
