Happy Birthday today to singer Christy Lane. She's 68. Bob Eubanks, host the TV's The Newlywed Game, and a controversial figure by asking such questions as, "Where's the craziest place you ever made whoopee", is 70 today. It's also Elvis Presley's birthday today. If Elvis was still alive today, he'd 74 years old............................and 400 pounds.Hey, we have a new show coming on Thunder and if you love classic country, you're going to love it! It's the Country Music Greats Radio Show, hosted by Jim Ed Brown of the Grand Ole Opry and it kicks off this Sunday morning at 7.Tomorrow morning, we'll talk about a very unusual lawsuit going on in New York (of course). Four years ago, Dr. Richard Batista gave his ailing wife one of his kidneys. She recovered and soon after that, SHE filed for a divorce. Now, he's suing her for his kidney back. He wants either his kidney back or $1.5 million. A legal expert says he has almost NO chance of winning this case. Personally, I think this guy should be grateful she didn't get his other kidney in the divorce settlement and call it a day. We'll talk about it tomorrow.Finally, I apologize, but we ran of time this morning and I wasn't able to tell you about the woman in Ogden, Utah who got lodged inside a vent at her home (see previous entry). Basically, this 55 year-old woman was vacuuming a large cold air return vent in her house. According to Ogden Fire Deputy Chief Chad Tucker, the woman saw something in the vent and reached in to get it. Unfortunately, she fell in, head first, and got stuck there in that position for more than 24 hours! She was rescued by police and is recovering fine. Police went to the house when the woman's family members called them to say she hadn't answered the phone in more than a day.I know it's awful, but I find myself laughing hysterically every time I read this story."Hi. I can't come to the phone right now. I'm stuck in the vent. Please leave a message and......."
There is something seriously wrong with me.
