FRECKLES' PICK - WINNER
Girl Breaks Football Throwing Record
After throwing a football 48 feet, five inches in the NFL Punt, Pass, and Kick competition, seven-year-old Elly Evarts broke a national age group record. She was first to compete at the event in Orlando, and she fell a little short on her first try, but thankfully, everyone got two tries.
And on her second try at kicking, Elly more than doubled the total from her first, says her father Bo. "Her first kick was only about 24 feet,” he says, “but she came up for the second kick and nailed it about 50 feet, 9 inches.” She also had a throw of almost 49 feet and a punt of more than 51 feet.
She’s laid back about her success, too. "I was pretty confident after I went," Elly says. "I just took deep breaths." And it worked! Congratulations, Elly.

WANT GOOD FRIES WITH THAT?
Want to know how to get the best, freshest fries at McDonald’s? According to employees the trick is to order them without salt. You see, McDonald’s fries are always salted – so if you order them without salt, they need to make a new batch.
The same apparently goes for a Filet O’ Fish. If you want one fresh out of the fryer, order it without cheese. (Cosmo)
JASON'S PICK
Man Quits His Job With A Note Written On Toilet Paper
One man has had enough of his crappy job, and he wanted his boss to know it. Literally. A woman shared a picture of her husband's letter of resignation...which he wrote on a piece of toilet paper.
The letter reads, "I have chosen this type of paper for my 2 week resignation as a symbol of how I feel this company has treated me, and ironically, how it is disposed of is where I feel the company is going." To really send the message home, the man drew a picture of a toilet next to his signature.
This disgruntled employee's wife says her hubby knew he wouldn't get a good response, but doesn't need a recommendation from them anyway. Plus, she says he's happier and more relaxed than ever.
