Man finds rare pearl in hangover cure!
A man who bought an oyster to cure his hangover was delighted to find a very rare pearl inside. James Humphries, from Cornwall, south west England, beat odds of one million to one when he discovered the item, which he found when he started eating one of the molluscs and felt a lump in his mouth. He insists he has no plans to sell the priceless pearl.
(Me: He should thank Heavens that he didn't choke…)

Passengers are seated in a plane out on the tarmac, and the stewardess announces "we're just waiting for the pilots." Two men, using guide dogs and seemingly blind dressed as pilots are walking towards the plane. There are murmurs among the passengers. The men board the plan and go into the cockpit. More concerned murmurs and uneasy chuckles from the passengers. The plane taxis normally to the runway and begins its takeoff. As passengers look out the window they realize they are nearing the end of the runway. The entire passenger cabin begins screaming but the plane lifts off just before the end of the runway. In the cockpit, the pilot turns to his copilot and says, "you know, one day those people are gonna scream too late and we're are all gonna die!"
