Bits and Pieces of Fun---
1. I Think He's Right On This One

Overheard in New York had another classic yesterday:

Guy to friend: So she has to get liquored up to go to church? That can't be what g-d wants.
--49th & Lex Overheard by: CRG
2. It's The A Train not "a train."
Also from Overheard in New York, I hope this next one isn't a sign of a trend - or my age.
Tourist #1: You know that song that Billy Strayhorn wrote, called "Take The A Train"? He wrote it about taking the A train up to Harlem, and then he gave it to Duke Ellington. The rest is history.
Tourist #2: Who's Duke Ellington?
Tourist #1: Never mind!
--A train
3. Now Showing on Google:
It started on iFilm or YouTube until C-Span signed an agreement with Google and told the others they couldn't show it. IT was the gutsy and over-the-top appearance of Steven Colbert at the White House Press Corps dinner. Here's the Google link:

4. Fun At Any Altitude
And, with a h/t to Jordon Cooper, here's a great link to a fun video of FedEx planes flying around a thunderstorm. Priceless.
