IDIOT SIGHTING
The stoplight on the corner buzzes when its safe to cross the street.
I was crossing with an intellectually challenged coworker of mine.
She asked if I knew what the buzzer was for.
I explained that it signals blind people when the light is red.
Appalled, she responded, "What on earth are blind people doing driving?!"
She was a probation officer in Wichita, KS

Jessica Biel Named Sexiest
Woman Alive
That does being named the "Sexiest Woman Alive" by "Esquire" magazine do to a gal? In Jessica Biel's case, it sent her scurrying for a corset.
"I actually thought, when that whole thing went down, I was flattered and honored and a little shocked at the whole thing, but I thought, "Oh, this is going to be great. I'm going to get so many jobs from this. This is great! Great, great, great!" But that wasn't really the case," said Biel while promoting her new film "The Illusionist."
"I think that it wasn't negative at all, but it's kind of an unattainable sort of label. "The Sexiest Woman Alive?" I mean, who can hang out with the sexiest woman alive?"
The stunning 24-year-old actress was shocked by the result of that 2005 anointing; instead of finding herself deluged with offers, Biel had to fight to get a job.
"I pursued "The Illusionist," I did. They basically said "No" to me, that they didn't want to see me and that it wasn't going to happen and then it opened up for like a split second and I went in there and created an accent and did my work. They liked it, and I got a callback. So I came back dressed fully as someone from around 1900 as best as I could and went for it. I put all of my apples in the basket," she remembered.
And won the part of the alluring woman in "The Illusionist," the catalyst for the mysterious story of romance, magic, and intrigue set in the early 20th century that co-stars Edward Norton, Paul Giamatti, and Rufus Sewell. But once she got the thing she wanted so badly, the worries began.
"It was a big step for me, to do a period piece," Biel admitted. Happily, the film, which opens August 18, is garnering rave reviews, as is Biel's image-shifting performance.
"I think that it's my favorite film that I've worked on yet. It's fulfilled a creative bug that I had not been able to fill and in terms of my career I think that it's sort of a jumping off point. I also feel like it says to the world, "Okay, so I can do this. Check it out. Take me seriously and please respect me because I'm not going to give up doing interesting things.""

A veteran sales rep with 25 years of experience, Jacob is both well known and well liked in the intimate apparel industry. After briefly leaving to pursue other opportunities last year, Jacob has returned along with his signature dedication and concern for his customers.
“I have always enjoyed working with Male Power and Magic Silk,” said Jacob. “Jeff Baker, like his father Sam before him, has always been supportive and inspiring. I am incredibly pleased to be a permanent member of their team.”
Jacob will be exclusively representing both companies on a national scale. He will be canvassing the country, giving businesses the personal attention that they require and the excellent customer service that both Male Power and Magic Silk are known for.
