COLOR COORDINATED -- Turns out that America's longtime love affair with mac 'n' cheese may have been due to a harmful yellow dye that Kraft has been using to make the whole magilla seem more visually appealing.   Some intercepted inter-office memos show that Kraft scientists refer to the dye as "Cher."
 

PRICE CHECK! -- Ralph's and Food For Less markets in California and Arizona will soon install 225 hybrid auto charging station in their parking lots.  Most will dispense a full charge but there will be several "express" chargers for 12 miles worth or less.
 

DIGGING OUT -- The ban on alcoholic beverages in the dugout has been so successful, it's been extended to include MLB farm teams.  This is just the first phase of a three-pronged dugout cleanup that officials hope will extend players' lives.  First no alcohol... next no chewing tobacco... and finally, no Hollywood bimbos.
 

GREENS FEES -- Nike has launched a new ad campaign featuring Tiger Woods  with the theme "Winning Solves Everything" -- even though it didn't help him much keeping ex-wife Elin from getting the homes, the cars, the investment property, the bank accounts, the stocks, the bonds, and the convertible debentures.   But it sets up Nike's next campaign:  "Money Isn't Everything."   
 

MR. SANDMAN -- A new sleep study concluded that 58% of sleepwalkers when awakened suddenly can lash out violently and injure themselves and those around them.   The percentage rises to almost 100% if they awaken to find that they're in bed with a Kardashian.

BOB HOPE'S 1983 U.S. COLLEGE CAMPUS TOUR: Your Alma Mater Here?


"Having spent twenty years writing for the indefatigable Bob Hope, and traveling all over the world, Bob Mills is well qualified to salute the famous corps of gag men who kept the comedian knee-deep in jokes.

WakiLeaks: History Declassified 2000 (Vol. One) is now available on Kindle for $2.99

Compiled from Bob's newsletter "Funnyside Up" published in 2000. This is a yuck and chuckle-filled stroll down memory lane to a time before the Bush administration had inflicted its damage -- a time before the search for WMDs and Osama bin Laden. See what we were laughing at back then, who was in the news and who had yet to enter rehab -- which NFL stars had yet to do time in the Gray Bar Hotel.
