Jazz: What an awful story! A couple was sailing their yacht from Hawaii to Mexico.
While they were crossing the Pacific, their boat hit a whale and sank!
Tedy: Is that true? What happened to the whale?
Jazz: It doesn't say. Oh, and here is another one. A guy in Los Angeles was
robbing a bank. But as he was escaping, he got caught in the revolving door.
Tedy:I guess it was his first bak robbery!
Jazz:Yeah. Oh, and listen to this. Some guy got locked out of his house, so he
tried to get in through the chimney.
Tedy: Don’t tell me! He got stuck in the chimney!
Jazz: Exactly! And he was still trying to get out two days later when the police
rescued him.
