This girl’s got a website, business cards and tutus appearing like crazy out of her downstairs home workshop. She is taking “Introduction to Entrepreneurship” this semester.

Hokey Pokey AccidentMike had an older lady come into the ER. She had fallen down and needed to be checked out. She was very embarrassed when Mike asked her what had happened. She said she was at the pool getting ready to go in the water to do some group exercise. She was waiting behind someone to get in, when her group started doing the hokey pokey.

Moral of the Story: Poolside may not be the safest place to do the hokey pokey. October 10, 2011
