  <intro>&lt;p&gt;Here's some (small) inspiration heading into today's Write Your Own Joke contest:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; For the fourth straight year, the Knicks have been named the NBA&amp;rsquo;s most valuable team. No surprise there; the Knicks are obviously rolling in it. Why, they&amp;rsquo;re paying one female executive $11.5 million -- and she doesn&amp;rsquo;t even work there anymore! What princes!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; A 21-year-old hockey fan at Wednesday&amp;rsquo;s Senators-Thrashers game in Ottawa fell from the upper deck when he stumbled over a purse while carrying two beers back to his seat. Tragic story, really. Not because of what happened to the guy -- he&amp;rsquo;s going to be fine. But the beers didn&amp;rsquo;t make it.&lt;/p&gt;</intro>

  <body>&lt;p&gt;Here's some (small) inspiration heading into today's Write Your Own Joke contest:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; For the fourth straight year, the Knicks have been named the NBA&amp;rsquo;s most valuable team. No surprise there; the Knicks are obviously rolling in it. Why, they&amp;rsquo;re paying one female executive $11.5 million -- and she doesn&amp;rsquo;t even work there anymore! What princes!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; A 21-year-old hockey fan at Wednesday&amp;rsquo;s Senators-Thrashers game in Ottawa fell from the upper deck when he stumbled over a purse while carrying two beers back to his seat. Tragic story, really. Not because of what happened to the guy -- he&amp;rsquo;s going to be fine. But the beers didn&amp;rsquo;t make it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; Actually, we hear that as soon as the guy flipped off the upper deck, several fans eyed the tossed-aside beers quite thirstily. But then they decided they didn&amp;rsquo;t want sloppy seconds.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; A Texas Tech DB has been arrested by the Drug Enforcement Agency. Come on, I saw that defense play against Oklahoma. &lt;em&gt;None&lt;/em&gt; of those guys were dealing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; Olympic swimmer &lt;strong&gt;Amanda Beard&lt;/strong&gt; has sued a tanning salon company in California for allegedly &amp;ldquo;using&amp;rdquo; her picture without permission. It seems she never dreamed anything that sordid could happen after posing in &lt;em&gt;Playboy&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</body>
