WHAT A GREAT TIP!
89 year old Walter "Buck" Swords was a "little mean" to Melina Salazar when he ate at the Lubys restaurant in Brownsville, TX, but Melina did her best to put on a smile and tend to the every need of her most loyal and cantankerous customer. It paid off. Mr. Swords left her a $50,000 tip when he passed away. Not only that he left her a car as well.

POLITICIAN DICTIONARY
Ever wonder what oliticians were saying? The Lexicon Dictionary tries to cut through the double-speak with definitions of words and phrases: ie: When a politician talks of "transformation", they actually mean "no change"...... "Let me finish", meanwhile, translates as "I will continue talking so that you cannot ask any more difficult questions"........ According to the dictionary, "legacy" means "the next Government will pick up the bill".

USELESS TRIVIA:

Ever wonder about the origins of the term "Auld Lang Syne?". Essentially, the phrase means "The good old days." The lyrics, as we know them, were penned by Scottish poet Robert Burns in 1788 He apparently drew on older works that used the line "Auld Lang Syne," but the words we sing are his. "Auld Lang Syne" has become the standard song for midnight as the old year dies and the new one is born across the English-speaking world.

In December 1951 Roy Rogers, and his beloved horse, Trigger, appeared on TV for the first time in The Roy Rogers Show. Their famous theme song, "Happy Trails To You," was written by Rogers' wife and co-star, Dale Evans.

Verdi's opera Alda premiered in Egypt in 1871 to celebrate the opening of the Suez Canal. The critically acclaimed story of forbidden love was modernized in 2000, when Elton John wrote the Broadway version!

The Supremes made their debut on The Ed Sullivan Show inDec. 1964. Their many performances on that show would be immortalized in the 2006 film Dreamgirls!

Kwanzaa was celebrated for the first time in the U. S. in 1966. Based on Africa's harvest celebrations, Kwanzaa's name come from the phrase "matunda ya kwanza" which means "first fruits" in Swahili.

Steve Martin and Bonnie Hunt starred as parents of twelve in Cheaper by the Dozen in 2003. Interestingly, neither Martin nor Hunt had any children in real life!

To Kill a Mockingbird came to life on the big screen in 1962 starring Gregory Peck. The character of Dill, the neighbor boy, was based on author Harper Lee's childhood friend, Truman Capote!

What women say And what they MEAN - You've seen them before. Always good to get a refresher course on stereotypes. :)

* ARE YOU WILLING TO: This means you better do it.
* FINE: This is the word women use to end an argument when they feel they are right and you need to shut up. Never use "fine" to describe how a woman looks. This will cause you to have one of "those" arguments.
* FIVE MINUTES: This is half an hour. It is equivalent to the five minutes that your football game is going to last before you take out the trash, so it's an even trade.
* NOTHING: This means "something" and you should be on your toes. "Nothing" is usually used to describe the feeling a woman has of wanting to turn you inside out, upside down, and backwards. "Nothing" usually signifies an argument that will last "Five Minutes" and will end with the word "Fine".
* GO AHEAD (With Raised Eyebrows): This is a dare. One that will result in a woman getting upset over "Nothing" and will end with the word "Fine".
* GO AHEAD (Normal Eyebrows): This means "I give up" or "do what you want because I don't care". You will get a "Raised Eyebrow Go Ahead" in just a few minutes, followed by "Nothing" and "Fine", and she will talk to you in about "Five Minutes" when she cools off.
* LOUD SIGH: This is not actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A "Loud Sigh" means she thinks you are an idiot at that moment, and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here arguing with you over "Nothing".
* SOFT SIGH: Again, not a word, but a non-verbal statement. "Soft Sigh" means that she is content. Your best bet is not to move or breathe, and she will stay content.
* THAT'S OKAY: This is one of the most dangerous statements that a woman can make to a man. "That's Okay" means that she wants to think long and hard before paying you back for whatever it is that you have done. "That's Okay" is often used with the word "Fine" and in conjunction with a "Raised Eyebrow Go Ahead". At some point in the near future, you are going to be in some mighty big trouble.
* PLEASE DO: This is not a statement, it is an offer. A woman is giving you the chance to come up with whatever excuse or reason you have for doing whatever it is that you have done. You have a fair chance with the truth, so be careful and you shouldn't get a "That's Okay".
* THANKS: A woman is thanking you. Do not faint. Just say "you're welcome".
* THANKS A LOT: This is much different than "Thanks". A woman will say "Thanks A Lot" when she is really ticked off at you. It signifies that you have offended her in some callous way, and will be followed by the "Loud Sigh". Be careful not to ask what is wrong after the "Loud Sigh" as she will only tell you "Nothing.

GETTING AROUND THE SMOKING BAN
A German bar owner has got round a smoking ban by cutting holes in the wall so customers can stick their heads out to have a cigarette. Michael Windisch, owner of the Maltermeister Turm bar and restaurant in Goslar, Lower Saxony, cut three holes next to tables in his restaurant after local authorities introduced the ban on smoking in all eating places.

SOME YEAR END THOUGHTS

* Before I criticize a man, I walk a mile in his shoes. That way, if he gets angry, he's a mile away and barefoot.


* When someone hurts me, I know that forgiveness is cheaper than a lawsuit, but not nearly as rewarding.


* Blessed are the flexible, for they can tie themselves in knots.
* I need not suffer in silence while I can still moan, whimper, and complain.
* As I let go of my feelings of guilt, I am in touch with my inner sociopath.


And ESPECIALLY for us in RADIO:
* In some cultures what I do would be considered normal.

USELESS TRIVIA:

NEW YEARS IN OTHER COUNTRIES

In Scotland, the New Year is called Hogmanay. In the villages of Scotland, barrels of tar are set afire and then rolled down the streets. This ritual symbolizes that the old year is burned up and the new one is allowed to enter.

New Year's Day is also the Festival of Saint Basil in Greece. Children leave their shoes by the fireside on New Year's Day with the hope that Saint Basil, who was famous for his kindness, will come and fill their shoes with gifts.

The Jewish New Year is called Rosh Hashanah. It is a holy time when Jews recall the things they have done wrong in the past, and then promise to do better in the future. Special services are held in the synagogues, children are given new clothes and New Year loaves are baked to remind people of harvest time.

Iran's New Year's Day, which is in March, celebrates not only the beginning of the new year according to the solar calendar, but also bahar, "the beginning of spring."

On New Year's Day in Japan, everyone gets dressed in their new clothes and homes are decorated with pine branches and bamboo--symbols of long life.

In European countries such as Italy, Portugal and the Netherlands, families start the New Year by first attending church services. Afterwards, they visit friends and relatives. In Italy, boys and girls receive gifts of money on New Year's Day.

"We were there searching for fingerprints when he showed up," said Det. Daniel Oliveri. The man, who was homeless, admitted his guilt. He also had the bar owner's cell phone. He was charged with burglary, criminal trespass, theft and receiving stolen property.

USELESS TRIVIA:

Per the results of a three-year Christmas study performed by the Center for Lifestyle Management, an average of 10 hours are spent the last week of December arguing and bickering with family members about holiday-related activities.


Postmen in Victorian England were popularly called "robins." This was because their uniforms were red. The British Post Office grew out of the carrying of royal dispatches. Red was considered a royal color, so uniforms and letter-boxes were red. Christmas cards often showed a robin delivering Christmas mail.


Prince Albert, husband of Queen Victoria of England, was credited with introducing the German custom of the Christmas tree into the English home in 1841.


Seventy-five percent of Americans do not believe that public references to the "birth of Christ and Christmas" should be avoided in businesses, schools, and other public venues in order to keep from offending non-Christian Americans during this holiday season.

YOU &*(%$^# !!!!
Allowing staff to swear at work can benefit them and their employers, according to researchers at a British university.Yehuda Baruch, professor of management at the the University of East Anglia's Norwich Business School, and graduate Stuart Jenkins looked at the use of expletives and swearing in the workplace from a management point of view.They identified the relevance and even importance of using non-conventional and sometimes uncivil language at work and how it may have a positive impact.The study found regular use of profanity to express and reinforce solidarity among staff can enable them to express their feelings and develop social relationships.

USELESS TRIVIA:

The ingredients for the perfect snowman, says Chris Danielson, the snow-sculpting chairman of St. Paul Winter Carnival, are snow that's clean and a good density (not too heavy), icy or slushy. The ideal temperature (below freezing) a good location (out of direct sunlight), adequate "people power" (to help build it) and accessories (hat, scarf, coal for eyes and buttons and a carrot for the nose). Average number of snowflakes to build a snowman: 10 billion.

Constructing a snowman can be a good workout. Calories burned per hour in building a snowman. 238.

Jim Sysko, who helped design the world's largest snowman---11 stories tall!--in Bethel, Maine, in 1999 says "A snowman follows the same path as the rest of us, only much faster."

"White Christmas" (1954), starring Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye, was the first movie to be made in Vista Vision, a deep-focus process.

"The Nutcracker" is the name for the ballet performed around Christmas time each year. "The Nutcracker Suite" is the title of the music Tchaikovsky wrote.

"Wassail" comes from the Old Norse "ves heill"--to be of good health. This evolved into the tradition of visiting neighbors on Christmas Eve and drinking to their health.

A Christmas club, a savings account in which a person deposits a fixed amount of money regularly to be used at Christmas for shopping, came about around 1905.

CHRISTMAS SIGNS

Toy Store: "Ho, ho, ho spoken here."

Bridal boutique: "Marry Christmas."

Outside a church: "The original Christmas Club."

At a department store: "Big pre-Christmas sale. Come in and mangle with the crowd."

A Texas jeweler store: "Diamond tiaras -- $70,000. Three for $200,000.

A reducing salon: "24 Shaping Days until Christmas."

In a stationery store: "For the man who has everything... a calendar to remind him when payments are due."

USELESS TRIVIA:

Christmas Traditions. The Christmas Pickle: In Old World Germany, the last decoration placed on the Christmas Tree was always a pickle. It was carefully hidden deep in the boughs of the tree. Legend has it that the observant child who found it on Christmas Day was blessed with a year of good fortune and a special gift.

Christmas Tree. The Christmas tree tradition spread through Europe and was brought to the U. S. by German settlers and by Hessian mercenaries paid to fight in the Revolutionary War. In 1804, U. S. soldiers stationed at Fort Dearborn (now Chicago) hauled trees from surrounding woods to their barracks at Christmas.

Peppermint Pig. A century-old tradition begun in Saratoga Springs, New York, the Peppermint Pig is believed to bring good luck and good health for the coming year. After a holiday meal, the pig is cracked with a tiny hammer and shared among family members.

Roasting Chestnuts. A popular, old-world fall, winter, and Christmas tradition is to serve hot chestnuts to family and friends.

Kevin Soave took home the $500 grand prize for the "danger" warning found on a tractor. Second place was given to Carrianne, Jacob and Robby Turin of Greensburg, Pa., for a label they found on an iron-on T-shirt transfer that warns: "Do not iron while wearing shirt." Richard Goodnow of Lancaster, Mass., earned the $100 third-place prize for a label on a baby stroller featuring a small storage pouch that warns: "Do not put child in bag."

He whacked the robber over the head with a mug used for tips. The thug fled, but what was Dustin thinking?

Everybody wants to be a star. "There are only a few videos like that on YouTube now, so mine's going to be the best," he said. "That'll teach this guy."

Welles fared a bit better, winning one Academy Award out of his four nominations: Best Writing, Original Screenplay, which he shared with co-writer Herman J. Mankiewicz.

Most healthy adults can go without eating anything for a month or longer. But they must drink at least two quarts of water a day.

TV talk show host Jay Leno owns more than 30 classic cars and more than 40 motorcycles. His first automobile was a 1934 Ford V-8 truck which he restored himself at the age of 14.

The second most expensive piece of movie memorabilia in the world is the Oscar Vivien Leigh won for her role in Gone with the Wind. It brought an auction price of $562,500.

David Leggat was locked inside the bathroom at a lawn bowling club near the Scottish city of Aberdeen after the door jammed and the handle on the outside fell off. It was an outside johnrarely used and temperatures hit freezing at night. He was rescued when the cleaner at the club, which is little used in winter, turned up to collect her cleaning equipment.

ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A CHIMP?...................
OK we already know you're not smarter than a 5th grader, but how about a 5 year old chimp?
Japanese researchers pitted young chimps against human adults in tests of short-term memory. And overall, the chimps won. One memory test included three chimps who'd been taught the order of numbers 1 through 9 against a dozen student volunteers. They saw nine numbers displayed on a computer screen. When they touched the first number, the other eight turned into white squares. The test was to touch all these squares in the order of the numbers that used to be there.

HOW QUICK IS SANTA?
An engineering firm has done the math. They figured santa traversing the globe in 48 hours. Here's what they said: "He has 34 microseconds at each stop" to slide down the chimney, drop off the presents, nibble on his cookies and milk and hop back on his sleigh, Larsson said.
Santa's reindeer must travel at a speed of 5,800 kilometers (3,604 miles) per second to make the trip on time. BUT WAIT! Another report circulating on the Internet suggested however that Santa's sleigh, weighed down with presents and travelling at supersonic speed, would encounter such massive air resistance that the entire contraption would burst into flames and be vaporised within 4.26 thousandths of a second.

"At first you might not see very many meteors—but be patient.
