LAUGH LINES

By Los Angeles Times


Health Watch: "Two doctors in Britain have developed a line of sterile maggots for cleaning and disinfecting wounds. They put the sterile maggots on your cuts, and the maggots eat and clean the wound. So apparently, Britain has HMOs, too." (Jay Leno)

In Slow Motion: "According to a new study, T. rex didn't run very fast at all, lumbering along as slow as a kid on a bicycle--or about the speed of the average 91 Freeway commute." (Kenny Noble Cortes)

Smoke Out: "According to the recently released Statistical Abstract, the state of Utah has the lowest percentage of residents who smoke cigarettes, just [about] 14%. They don't have the time to smoke--they're all too busy going to all those weddings."
(Ira Lawson)

 Wear Oh Wear: "Monica Lewinsky said that her future plans include designing her own line of women's clothing. They will be sold under the label Defense Exhibit A." (Argus Hamilton)
