Hey everyone; welcome back for another commute with the boys from Cross the Line Designs. Today was a big day in the news, which means we had A LOT to keep us busy on the ride in to work today. I'm very excited to have you along so I can share .... because there's a lot, let's get right to it.
I can't describe for you how excited I was when I saw the first story. I really found out "What A Girl Wants" when I read the story on People Magazine's site about Christina Aguilera, her "Nasty Naughty Boy" husband Jordan Bratman and their Sundays ... or should I say their .... Naked Sundays!!! That's right folks, it seems Christina and that "Dirrty" bastard (who she obviously thinks is "The Right Man") get "Stripped" down to just their birthday suits every Sunday and do everything around the house naked. Now that definitely has to be a "Beautiful" scene. I have to stop thinking about this now or I want be able to finish this post.
In other news, about someone who lost more than their clothing, Reuters has reported of a man in Germany who discovered why some chocolate bars are referred to as "finger bars." There was a bump in the dude's Italian chocolate bar which turned out not to be a nut ... it was the tip (or former tip) of a person's finger, complete with finger nail still attached (I think they're more valuable if still in the complete set like that). Mmmmm .... good ... talk about chewy nougat. The Police wouldn't name the brand, but I'm thinking ... as always ... are there any Mafia organizations in the chocolate bar business in Italy?
Now, I wrote awhile ago about a toilet that I got excited about, in "There's Something Fishy About This Toilet," that features a built in aquarium, so you never have to do your business alone anymore. Well you can flush my exitement about that down the toilet now, because a new system's out ... and what a system it is. Roto-Rooter has created a restroom, which they're giving away in an online sweepstake, equipped with a laptop, flat-screen TV, an iPod and speakers, an Xbox, a refrigerator filled with drinks and snacks and an exercise bike. As if it wasn't hard enough to get some time in your washroom now, when you need it. I guess people are getting through the newspapers and magazines they read in there and need something to occupy them for a little longer. I'll be right back ... I suddenly need to use the washroom. Sorry I took so long, I couldn't find the remote for the toilet.
Ok, I'm going to end with the story of a guy who had an equally stupid (I mean heartwarming) idea. A passenger of a taxi driver in New York City forgot a bag containing 31 diamond rings in the cab when she got out. Despite only receiving a 30 cent tip on an $11 fare the honest cab driver decided to track the passenger down to ensure she received her bag. The unbelievable part is, he knew about the new toilet from Roto-Rooter ... and so coulda had one. According to a report from the Associated Press, when questioned about it the cabbie, very respectably indicated "I enjoy my life. I'm satisfied. I'm not going to take someone else's money or property to make me rich. I don't want it that way." Thumbs up to you my friend; I hope people learn from you.
Alright, that's all for today; I'll be by again tomorrow to pick you up. In the meantime, keep your eyes on the road ... and don't give people the finger.
