Take a quick break from your routine with these fun, often funny, and almost always short-and-sweet items found by me on the internet. You'll see lots of CATS, lots of VIDEOS, lots of FUNNY ITEMS, and have lots of FUN. Richard Sneed, owner of Norwalk Records in Norwalk, California, commented about one cat video, "I got charlie horses in my ribs laughing at this. Thank You Carole." BTW, have you visited my new BERKELEY AND BEYOND website at www.berkeleyandbeyond.com?

rocket science
Several years ago, Rockwell International decided to get into the heavy duty transmission business. They were getting ready to tape their first introduction video and, as a warm up, the professional narrator began what has become a legend within the trucking industry. This man should have won an academy for his stellar performance. Now remember this is strictly off the cuff, nothing is written down, this became the biggest talk in the industry, vs the new product which they were introducing. I think you will enjoy this once in a lifetime performance from this gentleman.
