Swedish business consultant Ulf af Trolle labored 13 years
          on a book about Swedish economic solutions. He took the
          250-page manuscript to be copied, only to have it reduced to
          50,000 strips of paper in seconds when a worker confused the
          copier with the shredder.

St. Petersburg, Florida:

A Florida woman is offering to sell one of her kidneys to pay
off a hospital debt. Ruth Sparrow ran an ad over the weekend
in The St. Petersburg Times. It read: "KIDNEY - Runs good.
Taking offers."
Sparrow is serious. She owes $20,000 for gall bladder surgery,
and wants to pay it off.
She says both her kidneys work fine and she's willing to part
with one to settle her debt. She offered one directly to Bayfront
Medical Center, which turned it down.
The newspaper has stopped running the ad, since selling organs is
illegal in Florida. 

Taking a medical history is an experience: The MD, taking a 
sex-behavior history asked: "How many orgasms did you have 
last week?"  The answer: "Counting masturbatory ones and 
wet dreams?"
