Hearing For the First Time At 29 – Amazing
Okay, now this video just about did me in. She was born deaf but at the age of 29, through the wonders of modern science and medical advancements, Sarah Churman got to hear for the very first time and it was being shot on video. If you don’t just feel good for her there’s just something wrong.
Homecoming Queen Kicks Game-Winning Field Goal Same Night
And to lighten things up a bit is a cool story about a female high-school student who won homecoming queen and the same night kicked the game-winning field goal for their football team. So she’s all girl and wins queen AND she can kick like a mule and kicked a 31-yard field goal that ended up being the game-winning points.
A Couple Of Jokes To Finish Things Off
“You know you’re getting fat when you can pinch an inch on your forehead.”
John Mendoza
Bob was in trouble. He forgot his wedding anniversary. His wife was
really pissed.
She told him “Tomorrow morning, I expect to find a gift in the
driveway that goes from 0 to 200 in 6 seconds AND IT BETTER BE THERE !!”
The next morning he got up early and left for work. When his wife woke
up, she looked out the window and sure enough there was a box
gift-wrapped in the middle of the driveway.
Confused, the wife put on her robe and ran out to the driveway, brought
the box back in the house.
She opened it and found a brand new bathroom scale.
Bob has been missing since Friday.
