If It Doesn't Fit, You Must Acquit

Join me tomorrow morning for coffee. I'll tell you about the 22-year old man in the DC neighborhood of Columbia Heights who stole several hundred dollars during an armed robbery. Unfortunately for him, during the robbery, one of his thumbs was chopped off by one of the victims (using the robber's own machete). About 2 hours later, DC Police were alerted that a 9-fingered man showed up at the hospital. The police themselves brought the severed thumb to the hospital. Doctors said it fit like a puzzle piece. I'm curious as to how he escaped from the scene of the crime. We know he couldn't have hitchhiked.

I'll also tell you how dogs are now being trained to check men for prostate cancer. NO, I swear to you, I'm not making this up and it conjures up quite a visual, doesn't it?

If you missed this morning, you missed our Quote Quiz. Who said,
"Through humor, you can soften some of the worst blows that life delivers. And once you find laughter, no matter how painful your situation might be, you can survive it".
It was comedian/actor Bill Cosby.
We'll play again tomorrow.

Also, this morning, I told you how to tell if you're dead. Well, Britain's Academy of Medical Royal Colleges issued tips for their doctors to tell when a patient is dead because apparently there have been cases during which doctors THOUGHT their patient was dead, but was actually in hypothermia or a drug-induced coma. So, here's what they came up with. This is Britain's Academy of Medical Royal College's definition of death: The irreversible loss of the capacity for consciousness with irreversible loss of the capacity to breathe. If a patient has those 2 things, he's either dead OR listening to Barry manilow on his iPod.

On the Watson the Wonder Dog neutering countdown, 6 days to go. I suspect after that, his bark will have a higher pitch to it.

Sarah Palin comes to Fredericksburg on Monday. You betcha!!!!!
