Q: Is there an Iowa law that if you have to wait 30 minutes or longer to get your driver’s license you get it for free?
.
A: Surprisingly, yes. It’s call the money back guarantee, said Dena Gray-Fisher, spokeswoman for the Iowa Department of Transportation. But it comes with some conditions. It’s only for license renewals for drivers without problems or special conditions. So the guarantee doesn’t apply to someone who has lost his or her license for drunken driving, non-payment of fines or first-time drivers.

Why a sex tag? Naked bodies don't always mean sex.
Why a sex tag? Naked bodies don't always mean sex.
The cleverness of the title "Human Eye" stands without any erotic overtone.
I guess because we live in a country that's apparently more afraid of nipples and penises than highly realistic images of violence.
.
I know that some people think a naked body especially the female body is art.
However, there are people that feels being naked only means sex
What do you see in this picture
I normally don't post this kind of material however, this guy asked me.
The day before "The Dark Knight"was released,
a co-worker of mine was eating lunch and showed me this chip he found in his lunch.
we immediately took pictures of it and posted it on Craigslist just for giggles.
I was hoping you could post this on Small Bits and Pieces to get a better world wide viewing.
I’ve been reading your blog for almost 2 years and I would be honored to have a posting.
We still have the chip on display where I work and people are amazed by it all the time.

Man With Play-Doh Bomb Arrested After Standoff
Matthew Alexander Rivera, 27, of Hope Mills, was arrested by the Fayetteville Police Department after a standoff at "Priscilla's" at 3800 Sycamore Dairy Road.
Officers responded to a possible robbery. Upon arrival they were notified that the subject was still inside the business with the store manager, and was in possession of a device that appeared to be a bomb.
Nearby businesses were evacuated and roads near the business were blocked off to traffic.
Officials say Rivera surrendered without further incident. He is charged with second-degree kidnaping and perpetrating a hoax by use of a false bomb. The Fayetteville Observer reported that the bomb was made out of Play-Doh, batteries and a wire arranged to look like an explosive.

Police arrest naked man
While on patrol Monday evening, an Indiana cop noticed a naked guy standing in the window of a Fort Wayne home. So she approached the man's front door, which was wide open, to investigate further. It was then that Officer S. Hughes and a colleague were treated to the sight of a prone Ronald Miller, 56, engaging in a remarkably lewd act on his living room sofa. For the dirty details, you'll have to read the Fort Wayne Police Department report, which notes that Miller is apparently handy with a claw hammer and some motor oil. Miller, pictured in the mug shot at right, was arrested on a felony indecency charge. A neighbor told cops that Miller was "not right" and parades around naked "24/7."

Woman Thrown on Live Commuter Rail
A British commuter was thrown on to a railway line after she told two youths to stop smoking on a station platform on Wednesday.
The woman, whose identity is not known, suffered burns and broken collar bone. She was taken to the hospital after the incident, at Farningham Road station in Kent during the rush hour shortly after 7a.m.
South Eastern train services between Kent and London were disrupted because the power had to be turned off.
The woman had asked the youths to stop smoking on the station platform, where smoking is banned, the train company said.
A scuffle started and she was thrown on to the track before fellow passengers dragged her off.
British Transport Police, who are studying CCTV footage of the incident and were said to be following up a number of leads, said the woman was lucky to be alive because the "live" rail was carrying 750 volts of electricity.

'Dead' Man Awakens Before Autopsy, Shocks Doctors
An Indian man who was knocked unconscious during a stampede of thousands of religious pilgrims on a steep Himalayan mountain path woke up as doctors were preparing to perform his autopsy.
Mange Ram, 19, lost consciousness in the stampede that killed 150 people and was triggered by rumors of a landslide leading to a Hindu temple devoted to the goddess Naina Devi.
"When I woke up, I was in the middle of a row of bodies waiting for post mortem," he told the Times. "My throat was parched and I asked for water. Towering over me the doctors and nursing staff at Anandpur Sahib Civil Hospital looked dazed. They must have been surprised to see a dead man come alive like that."

Assorted Jokes
Embarrassing Times
An armless man walked into a bar which is empty except for the bartender. He ordered a drink and when he was served, asked the bartender if he would get the money from his wallet in his pocket, since he has no arms. The bartender obliged him. He then asked if the bartender would tip the glass to his lips. The bartender did this until the man finished his drink. He then asked if the bartender would get a hanky from his pocket and wipe the foam from his lips. The bartender did it and commented it must be very difficult not to have arms and have to ask someone to do nearly everything for him. The man said, "Yes, it is a bit embarrassing at times. By the way, where is your restroom?" The bartender quickly replies "The closest one is in the gas station three blocks down the street."
.
Teenage Sex
The mother of a 17-year-old girl was concerned that her daughter was having sex. Worried the girl might become pregnant and adversely impact the family’s status, she consulted the family doctor. The doctor told her that teenagers today were very willful and any attempt to stop the girl would probably result in rebellion. He then told her to arrange for her daughter to be put on birth control and until then, talk to her and give her a box of condoms.
Later that evening, as her daughter was preparing for a date, the woman told her about the situation and handed her a box of condoms. The girl burst out laughing and reached over to hug her mother saying: "Oh Mom! You don’t have to worry about that! I’m dating Susan!"

Women Superiority
We got off the Titanic first.
We can scare male bosses with mysterious gynecological disorder excuses.
When we buy a vibrator it is glamorous.
When men buy a blow up doll it's pathetic.
Men's clothes make women look elfin and gorgeous.
Men look like complete idiots in women's clothes.
We can be groupies. Male groupies are stalkers.
We've never lusted after a cartoon character or the central figure in a computer game.
Taxi's stop for us.
Men die earlier, so we get to cash in on the life insurance.
We don't look like a frog in a blender when dancing.
We know the Truth about whether or not size matters.
It's possible to live our whole lives without ever taking a group shower.
No fashion faux pas we make could ever rival the male's Speedo.
We don't have to fart to amuse ourselves.
We never have to wonder if his orgasm was real.

CRISCO

"Your wife is named Crisco?"
"Nah," he answered,
"I only call her that when we come to the supermarket."

TWO STORY HOUSE
A man appears before a judge one day, asking for a divorce. The judge quietly reviews some papers and then says, "Please tell me why you are seeking a divorce."
"Because," the man says, "I live in a two-story house." The Judge replies, "What kind of a reason is that? What is the big deal about a two-story house?"
The man answers, "Well Judge, one story is 'I have a headache' and the other story is 'It's that time of the month.'"

Southern California Hits 812 Degrees
The ground is so hot in one part of Southern California it can melt the shoes right off your feet.

The anomaly was discovered after the land got so hot, it started a brush fire and burned three acres last month. Firefighters were brought to the scene after reports of a blaze, but by the time they arrived only smoldering dirt and brush remained.
