1960's SF Bay Area TV Ad Blooper

(download)

A BLAST from the PAST ...
Bayshore Chrysler-Plymouth was located in the Bay Area city of San Bruno near San Francisco Airport. The pitchman in this video was VERY PO 'd with his boss, legendary car dealer Ralph Williams and decided to have a little fun with the camera crew and producer with this orchestrated blooper (thinking it would never be seen by all of us 50 years later). Very funny. 

THE HAM SANDWICH

THE HAM SANDWICH

A Catholic Priest and a Jewish Rabbi were sitting next to each other on an airplane.

After a while, the Catholic Priest turned to the Rabbi and asked, “Is it still a requirement of your faith that you not eat pork?”

The Rabbi responded, “Yes, that is still one of our laws.”

The Catholic Priest then asked, “Have you ever eaten pork?”

To which the Rabbi replied, “Yes, on one occasion I did succumb to temptation and tasted a ham sandwich.”

The Catholic Priest nodded in understanding and went on with his reading.

A while later, the Rabbi spoke up and asked the Catholic Priest, "Father, is it still a requirement of your church that you remain celibate?”

The Catholic Priest replied, “Yes, that is still very much a part of our faith.”

The Rabbi then asked him, “Father, have you ever fallen to the temptations of the flesh?”

The Catholic Priest replied, “Yes, Rabbi, on one occasion I was weak and broke my faith."

The Rabbi nodded understandingly and remained silent, thinking, for about five minutes.

Finally, the Rabbi said, “Bet it beats the hell out of a ham sandwich, doesn't it?”

Haiti three weeks later

Haiti three weeks later

Tomorrow will mark three weeks since the massive January 12th earthquake in Haiti, and tent cities remain full, even as some businesses and factories are beginning to reopen in Port-au-Prince. Now that massive amounts of aid have arrived, distribution problems have cropped up and are being addressed. The World Food Program has begun a new system of delivering rice to 10,000 Haitians per day at each of 16 women-only distribution points around the city - restricted to women, since young men often muscle their way to the front of distribution lines, and the women are viewed as more likely to fairly divide up the food. Aid chiefs and donor nations are warning that Haiti will need at least a decade of painstaking reconstruction. (40 photos total)

Faces of Haiti

Faces of Haiti

Ten days after the massive earthquake in Haiti, some 80,000 of the estimated 200,000 dead have been buried, two million residents now find themselves homeless, and hundreds of thousands of them are now trying to flee the capital city. Rescue crews are beginning to abandon hope of finding any further survivors in the rubble - the last person to be pulled out alive was on was rescued on Wednesday, the 20th. Aid agencies are still ramping up their efforts - the Red Cross alone has deployed what it calls its greatest deployment of emergency responders in its 91-year history. Collected here are some closer looks into recent events in Haiti, seen through the faces of the survivors and the recently-arrived security, rescue and care workers. (46 photos total)
