Welcome SPRING!!!!! 7:44 this morning!
Today, we decided to read out another riddle for you to solve to win John Pinette tickets....
A black dog stands in the middle of an interssection in a town painted black. None of the street lights ar working due to a power failure caused by a storm. A car with two broken headlights drives towards the dog but turns in time to avoid hitting him. How could the driver have seen the dog in time?
The first caller through was Jennifer and she had the correct answer! She said the driver saw the dog in time because it was daylight. I guess this means no more riddles...our listeners are too smart!!!!
WATER COOLER CONVERSATIONS.....

Men are going to love this story......
Staring at women's breasts is good for men's health and makes them live longer, a recent survey reveals. Researchers have discovered that a 10-minute oogle at women's breasts is as healthy as half-an-hour in the gym. A five-year study of 200 men found that those who enjoyed a longing look at busty beauties had lower blood pressure, less heart disease and slower pulse rates compared to those who did not get their daily eyeful. Dr Karen Weatherby, who carried out the German study, wrote in the New England Journal of Medicine: "Just 10 minutes of staring at the charms of a well endowed female is roughly equivalent to a 30-minute aerobics workout.
WATER COOLER CONVERSATIONS.....
The latest dieting tips making the rounds: Sniff your food before you eat it. Inhaling the smell can make you feel you've eaten more than you have…..AND….Eat your food piping hot. The smell will be more intense, which may make you feel full sooner.
What is a genuine pizza? Pepperoni, mushrooms and cheese? No!!! That’s according to Italy's National Standards Body………..they have ruled that ‘genuine pizza’ can only contain San Marzano tomatoes, buffalo milk mozzarella, and extra virgin olive oil.
In Alberta they believe they’ve discovered the remains of a tiny little meat eating dinosaur that lived 75 million years ago…..Hesperonychus was about half the size of a house cat
Going out of town…packing your luggage – listen to this: 30 million bags are misplaced by major airlines around the world annually ….and about 1% of all luggage is never found
When horses have ‘fancy time’…it’s called “COVERING”!!! When sheep have ‘fancy time’….it’s called, “RUTTING”. And…speaking of ‘fancy time’…ready for this one? Experts say that a man can boost his ‘fancy time’ drive…if he does THIS…a half hour everyday: GARDENING

Another hectic morning! But great!
We had Anna Costa bring us coffee and breakfast from Robin's Donuts...that was today's task for earning John Pinette tickets!
Of course we had another entry into our Wedding SOS contest...it was the wedding party that sent in today's message.
It was a busy morning with a LOT to talk about including a Thunder Bay singer who was on American Idol last night! Shayne Stolz! He is in the area for March break his father Romeo told us this morning. He called his dad and told him he was going to try to get into the show. He was in a few shots..but then came the opportunity of a lifetime...the audience was asked if anyone could sing...Shayne was brought up on stage and started singing "Me and Mrs. Jones"...the band picked it up and played along...must have been amazing! Randy Jackson asked Shayne why he wasn't on American Idol...of course Shayne replied that he's Canadian. Perhaps that portion of the show will be shown on tonight's American Idol...we'll have to see......
You'll remember Shayne from many events in the city...he also won the 2008 CLE Northwestern Ontario Talent Search. He sang his rendition of Me & Mrs. Jones as well..who knows where yesterday's performance will take him....

Top o' the mornin' to ya!
Danny and I were among 10 stations whose morning shows were chosen worldwide to be granted an interview with a Leprechaun, Patti O'Lantern....he was hilarious!
We also gave tickets away for next week's John Pinette Show...had an awesome Battle of the Sexes game this morning AND we gave away 5 boxes of Lucky Charms Cereal to help you celebrate St. Patrick's Day! Whew! Love giving stuff away!
I am hurrying off this morning to go out with the Coffee Crew today...no green coffee, we're bringing some wonderful Robin's Coffee along with some oatmeal bars to a lot of businesses today. All they had to do was go to our website, tell us how many staff work there and where they are. From there we plan our routes!
WATER COOLER CONVERSATION....
The White House in Washington is modeled after the Irish House of Parliament in Dublin
A "Shillelagh" is a walking stick
The Irish call “Irish Whiskey” the “water of life”
By kissing the Blarney Stone you acquire “the gift of the gab”
This year there will be well over 200 St. Patrick’s Day parades in North America.... but only four in Ireland
Almost 10 million pints of Ireland’s Guinness Beer are consumed each day
Happy St. Patrick's Day!

70% of married couples say THIS is one thing they are still satisfied with about their wedding. Their first song!!!!

Wanted to share this latest survey with you...you should try it!!!!
The survey in the United Kingdom looked at long term marriages and has come up with the perfect recipe for a long and happy marriage! Their findings suggest a couple needs to.....
Kiss four times a day
Cuddle three times a day
Hold two romantic dinners a month
Share two hobbies
Have Fancy Time three times a week
WATER COOLER CONVERSATION
Let’s talk about taking a shower!!! A recent study suggests we fall into 2 distinct types when it comes to showering ... those who soap up a section of their body at a time and then rinse, and those who lather up their entire body before rinsing off. Medical experts say the first method is better, because it lessens the drying effects of soap
Be careful when you eat those pancakes. A Russian man has died after winning a pancake-eating contest by downing 43 whipped cream-and-banana-stuffed pancakes before choking on a piece of pancake lodged in his throat. A witness says it appeared he really enjoyed the pancakes but then he started foaming at the mouth and ‘went down like a sack of stones’.
Listen to the irony in this: 16 people have been arrested for fighting at a concert in Silver Spring, Maryland the other night. It was a benefit for an advocacy group called ... “Stop the Violence
