4. THE GETAWAY!

and grabbed him.
5. DID I SAY THAT???
Police in Los Angeles had good luck with a robbery suspect who just couldn't

8. THE GRAND FINALE (I LOVE THIS ONE!!!)
Last summer, down on Lake Isabella, located in the high desert, an hour east
of Bakersfield, Cal. some folks, new to boating, were having a problem. No
matter how hard they tried, they couldn't get their brand new 22 ft boat
going. It was very sluggish in almost every maneuver, no matter how much
power was applied. After about an hour of trying to make it go, they putted
to a nearby marina, thinking someone there could tell them what was wrong. A
thorough top side check revealed everything in perfect working condition.
The engine ran fine, the out drive went up and down, and the propeller was
the correct size and pitch. So, one of the marina guys jumped in the water
to check underneath. He came up choking on water, he was laughing so hard.
NOW REMEMBER... THIS IS TRUE . Under the boat, still
strapped securely in place, was the trailer.
