Three dead bodies turn up at the mortuary, all with very big smiles on their faces. The coroner calls the police to tell them what has happened. "First body: Frenchman, 60, died of heart failure whilst making love to his mistress. Hence the enormous smile, Inspector", says the Coroner. "Second body: "Scotsman, 25, won a thousand pounds on the lottery, spent it all on whisky. Died of alcohol poisoning, hence the smile." The Inspector asked, "What of the third body?" "Ah," says the coroner, "this is the most unusual one. Betty-Jo the blonde redneck from Alabama, 30, struck by lightning." "Why is she smiling then?" inquires the Inspector. "She Thought she was having her picture taken."

Breaking News,Easy Life Drives Local Man to Brink
NOGGIN, KY(AheadOfNews.com) - Early this afternoon, police rescued a prominent Noggin building contractor,James Tilson, from an apparent suicide leap from Jehoshaphat Bridge. The well-known civic leader teetered for several hours on a narrow ledge of the bridge while threatening to jump into the Bramble River.
Tilson, 42,told police, reporters, and bystanders that he was tired of being rich,handsome,and admired.
"I had a wonderful childhood," he said."My parents adored me. Friends thought I was great.Teachers loved me.I got scholarships,wonderful jobs,gifts,bonuses,awards.All my life I've been finding thousand-dollar bills in the pockets of my old bowling shirts.Women follow me everywhere,oohing and aahing.I can't stand it."
Unlike others,he had never experienced the mishaps,heartbreaks, and crushing defeats "that make life so interesting for most people," he said."My life is totally boring."
Police attempted to calm Tilson by promising to beat him if he came down.Sympathetic bystanders offered to seduce his wife, to raid his bank accounts,and to smash his Lexus, parked near the bridge.
The despairing man finally relented after Harmon Fritz,a security expert,promised to steal Tilson's identity.
