Captain Crab's Bad Joke of the Day

A young man from Minnesota moves to Florida and goes to a big
"everything under one roof" department store looking for a job.

The Manager says, "Do you have any sales experience?" The kid says
"Yeah. I was a salesman back in Minnesota."

Well, the boss liked the kid and gave him the job. "You start
tomorrow. I'll come down after we close and see how you did."

His first day on the job was rough, but he got through it. After the
store was locked up, the boss came down. "How many customers bought
something from you today?"

The kid says "One!"

The boss says "Just One? Our sales people average 20 to 30 customers
a day. How much was the sale for?"

The kid says "$101,237.65."

The boss says, "$101,237.65? What the heck did you sell?"

The kid says, "First, I sold him a small fish hook. Then I sold
him a medium fishhook. Then I sold him a larger fishhook. Then I
sold him a new fishing rod. Then I asked him where he was going
fishing and he said down the coast, so I told him he was going to
need a boat, so we went down to the boat department and I sold him a
twin engine Chris Craft. Then he said he didn't think his Honda
Civic would pull it, so I took him down to the automotive department
and sold him that 4x4 Expedition."

The boss says, "A guy came in here to buy a fish hook and you sold
him a BOAT and a TRUCK?"

The kid said "No, the guy came in here to buy Tampons for his wife,
and I said, 'Dude, your weekend's shot, you should go fishing!'"

Amazing Support

Davidson College from North Carolina is making a fantastic run in the NCAA basketball tournament. What is more amazing is that almost a third of the students will be at the Regional finals tonight. Here's the story:

More Davidson Students Travel to Detroit for Regional Final

Posted: Mar. 29 9:29 p.m.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Davidson College, which already sprung for more than 350 students to watch the men's basketball team play in the Midwest Regional, is sending an additional 200 students to see if the team can win a spot in the Final Four.

The new group was expected to board buses on Sunday at 3 a.m. to see the Wildcats play Kansas at Ford Field in Detroit at 5 p.m.

Media relations director Bill Giduz told The Charlotte Observer that the school was able to line up the additional buses, and said the students will return home immediately after the game.

The additional bus loads mean that almost a third of Davidson's 1,700 student population will be at the game. Davidson has never advanced to the Final Four, but the Wildcats have upset three teams in the NCAA tournament and have a 25-game winning streak.

Anti-American?

Who has the right to call the Reverend Jeremiah Wright a traitor:

In the early 1960s, at a time when many young people were being radicalized by the Vietnam War, Wright left college and volunteered to join the United States Marine Corps. After three years as a marine, he chose to serve three more as a naval medical technician, during which time he received several White House commendations. He came to Chicago to study not long after Martin Luther King Jr.'s murder in 1968, the U.S. bombing campaign in Cambodia in 1969, and the shooting of students at Kent State University in 1970.
