1. We used to have a Michael Jourdan and a Cindy Crawford.
They shared an office. Their out of office messages were pretty funny. "You have reached Michael Jourdan in the _______ office. I'm not able to take your call right now. If your need is urgent, please call Cindy Crawford at extension ____."

13. There was a little girl named Tina Turner that my
brother went to school with for a while. She was a white girl with blonde hair and blue eyes.

I also knew a Chuck Jones in high school. He is probably the biggest dork I have ever met.

He's the Faculty Advisor to the West Chester University College Democrats, which I was President of last year. And now he's running for Mayor of town. He didn't drink the Kool-Aid in the jungle.
