THE CAR VENGEANCE LIVES ON!

  THE CAR: VENGEANCE LIVES ON! When the members, of shop class, were sent to the junkyard, to look for a car, to re-build, from the ground, up, no one had any idea what they would be in for. After all, the frame, body, and passenger compartment, were in pretty good shape. The only part that needed much work was the engine. When made the workers complain was the fact that, when they went to pull the engine, it seems that the drive shaft was jammed, so tightly, into both the transmission, and the axel, that the axel had to be removed, with a torch, and plenty of lubricant. The shaft then had to be power-wrenched from the transmission, as if the two had been welded together. Even with the crunched hood removed, it would take a full two weeks just to separate the transmission from the engine. The amount of work, involved, lead some to wonder HOW the car had gotten into this condition. There were plenty...

THE HEADLESS HORSEMAN ANOTHER STORY

  THE HEADLESS HORSEMAN ? With Halloween a mere thirty days away, costume stores were stocking up on every style of costume, while was available. It would seem that, even in the 21 st century, the headless horseman, of Sleepy Hollow, remained a favorite. Sure, many costumes were homemade, while others were store-bought. The one thing, every store, in the area, was certain of and that was that ALL swords were made of plastic. This way, no accidental be-headings could occur. A few, county-wide horse-stables even groomed the holiday favorite, pitch-black horses, all of which were available for a rental fee. As far as we were able to track, the first evidence, of a new, local, version, of the headless rider, began when a group of drunken teenagers decided to “make fun” of the legend. This by building a model of the rider, and placing it onto a scare-crow post. Now, while some people, in the general are...

THE SUPERIORITY MYSTERY

  THE SUPERIORITY MYSTERY It was an odd one. That is for sure. The first crime, of which I was acused, happened while I was in another city, speaking about an un-popular topic, and asking each side about the others point of view. The police did not find it difficult to locate me since I was at the head of the table, acting as moderator, and helping the attendees understand the content. When the police asked how long I had been present no one could answer except to say that I had been present since the discussion started. The problem the police had was that some 50 people were present. All agreed that the only time I had left the room was to use the mens rooms. During the time, of the second crime, of which I was accused, I was in another discussion. This one, about how to prevent flood water from washing away towns. I was awaiting my turn, to discuss my own suggestion, while the attendees boo’ed ideas like pu...
