Man Inspects Clock Interior

Joe McDonnell, 78 and residing in Palmville Twp, Minnesota, recently  inspected the interior of a friend's coo-coo clock. "I like a good tchotke myself," McDonnell tells the press, "but my friend is way ahead of me. He can't pass a thrift store or garage sale without picking up at least one souvenir. As I was on my way out after my latest visit, my friend diverted me to the garage to see a coo-coo clock he had picked up for free. I took the clock off the wall and unwrapped the weighted chains. I pulled on one of the chains to see the bird come out but the hands started going in the wrong direction. 'Take the back door off,' my friend suggested. The back cover was hard to get off and impossible to get back on straight. It felt like if I pushed on the back too hard, the whole clock would fly apart, and I had an appointment to get to. As my friend tried to hang the clock back up, the nail kept pushing into the wall. As I pulled the nail back out, I bumped a hat rack and a bright green bowler hat fell off the rack. We got the clock back on the nail and I said goodbye." McDonnell reported later that he put the bowler hat on briefly before taking his leave. "I can't resist a funny hat," he said.

Man Cuts Minutes From Pasta Recipe.

Joe McDonnell, 78 and an amateur chef, recently adopted pasta making tips from a YouTube video. "I'm all about saving time while maintaining quality," McDonnell tells reporters. "I started making pasta at home last year. A friend helped me the first time and since then I've watched lots of videos to streamline the process. The first breakthrough was to coil the fresh pasta strands into nests liberally sprinkled with flour rather than hang them on racks. The next insight was to use a food processor to mix the dough rather than mix it by hand. I got these tips from a guy who competes in food contests where time is of the essence. I don't compete in cook-offs but I love saving time.” In a follow-up email, McDonnell admits he misses putting the eggs into a volcano of flour like he used to do when making the dough by hand. "It reminded me of the mashed potato and butter volcanos I made as a kid," he says.
