LAUGH LINES

Talk About a Make-Over: “In New York, a former Rockette is suing her bosses at Radio City Music Hall because she claims they used her picture on promotional merchandise without her permission. She also claims they changed her teeth, her eyes, her nose, her hair and her eyebrows and then placed her head on a different body. How does she know it’s her? How do you sue for that? ... Imagine--they took her head and put it on somebody else’s body. Today, Cher said, ‘You can do that? That’s possible? Can I get that done?’” (Jay Leno)

Heads Up: “A passenger recently forced his way into the cockpit of a flight from Miami but was subdued after the co-pilot hit him with a small ax. Good to see our airlines are being kept secure by the latest in 12th century technology.” (Dennis Miller)

So He Says: “In a statement before the Nevada State Athletic Commission, Mike Tyson recently said, ‘I’m not Mother Teresa, but I’m not Charles Manson either.’ ... Of course, whether he’s Hannibal Lecter is another question.” (Paul Steinberg)
