Tip Your Newspaper Delivery Guy

Not that I'm a big fan of giving people extra money to do their jobs, but I appended a 25% tip for my newspaper delivery service (not a small amount when you consider I was paying current and past due bills) and suddenly, my newspaper that once seldom made it inside a 30 foot perimeter of my house started appearing underneath my door. Underneath my door surrounded by rose petals.

Okay, I was kidding about the rose petals.

No, really, I've used that stupid line on and off for four years. Finally, it pays off.

I swear to God that the following banner was on the USA Today page that contained the Noelle Bush article. Talk about targeting your audience.

I'm going to start taking MCSA classes next week.

"Gooch," you ask, "What does 'MCSA' stand for?"

Holee shit! If you type "gooch" in the Lycos search engine, I'm the number two site that shows up. Pretty cool. I also found this link, which could be my new catch phrase. Here are some of my favorite catch phrases from the past:

"Whatchootalkinbout?"
"To the Batmobile!"
"I love it when a plan comes together!"

...And now... some bizarre catch phrase that I found on some obscure link on Lycos.

The following is an email I generated and a response I got from a gentleman at KATU. Good question, good answer. The only issue I have with television news is why so much is spent on marketing instead of bringing us as much news as possible. I'm desperate for a decent news source in Oregon.

Sir,

Why weren't any news helicopters in Portland able to get an aerial video-shot of that 80 minute chase recently? I was really surprised.

Thanks for your time,

John

2,6,&8 usually come in at 10am so that they can work us till 7 at night,
because of this they have to call in the pilots if something happens before
10. the problem with that is we ourselves get stuck in the same traffic and
almost never get there in time.

money is to tight for them to hire extra pilots and they don't pay overtime
either, aviation has strict rules on the amount of hours you can fly per day
so they try to cover the times they feel are most important.

hope this answered your questions,
if you would like more info let me know
