Thanks to a friend for forwarding this quick comedy clip!

I just want to take a moment to invite you to join me at the International Podcasting Expo, April 21 - 23, 2006. It's online, in a Virtual Expo Center (very cool - I'll be sending out a brochure so you can see what it's like), so everyone in the world with an internet connection can attend.

I'm looking for international podcasting hosts to participate and lead some seminars and conferences, so if you know of someone who would be interested, please send them on!

GOOD: In Richardson, a Texas State Trooper was running radar. He had a perfect spot to watch for speeders, but he wasn't getting many. Then he discovered the problem. A 2-year-old boy was standing up the road with a hand-painted sign that read "RADAR TRAP AHEAD!" The officer then found the boy's young accomplice down the road with a sign reading, "TIPS" and a bucket full of money. (And we used to just sell lemonade!)

BETTER: A motorist was mailed a picture of his car speeding through an automated radar post in Plano, Texas. A $40 speeding ticket was included.

Being cute, he sent the police department a picture of $40. The police responded through the mail with a photo of handcuffs.

BEST: A young woman was pulled over for speeding. As the Texas State Trooper walked to her car window, flipping open his ticket book, she said, "I'll bet you are going to sell me a ticket to the Texas State Police Ball" He replied, "Texas State Troopers don't have balls." There was a moment of silence while she smiled and he realized what he'd just said. He then closed his book, got back in his patrol car and left. She was laughing too hard to start her car.

"No one needs a smile as much as a person who fails to give one."
