LAUGH LINES

Growing Old: “Hollywood is marking the 40th anniversary of the first James Bond movie, released in 1962. It’s interesting to watch how as Agent 007 gets older, his interests begin to change. The next James Bond movie will be called ‘License to Fish.’ ” (Argus Hamilton)

Sound Effects: “A San Diego company is testing a new weapon that shoots sonic bullets at targets. When fired, the gun sends out an audio signal, which is rated at 140 decibels and totally disables its victims; 140 decibels is the equivalent of a jet airplane taking off or Yoko Ono singing.” (Ira Lawson)

Tales to Tell: “There are reports that Hillary Clinton has finished her book while Bill hasn’t even started his. Her book is finished, which makes sense. With hers done first, it makes it easier for him to get the story straight.” (Jay Leno)
