Published 12:00 am Thursday, September 30, 2004

I wuz readin' a bed time story to muh kids the other day from a book I bought last week and it has muh favorite fairy tale, Snow White.

But this book wuz a little different. In one chapter, the Seven Dwarfs are trapped down in a mine shaft and there's a cave in. Snow White rushes to the entrance and yells, "Can anyone hear me?"

A voice yells back, "The Bengals are good enough to win the Super Bowl."

Snow White breathes a sigh of relief. "Well, at least Dopey's still alive."

Problem of the Week:

Question: You're trapped in a cave with a mean grizzly bear, an angry rattlesnake and a Michigan fan. All you have is a gun and two bullets. What do you do?

Answer: You shoot the Michigan fan. Twice.
