Judi
Veoukas:
Judi is a
humor columnist for the Lake County, Illinois,
Journals, and finds grist for her writing in
everything from trying to get a compliment from
her husband (impossible) to being attacked by a
goose (possible). She tutors at a local college,
where she loves helping students with anything
writing-related -- unless it involves deciphering
on-line citations. She recently won first place (and
money!) in America's Funniest Humor Writing
Contest and has placed in the contest's finals
and semifinals seven times. Her work has appeared
in "Nights & Weekends" and "Cynic
On-Line Magazine."
Judi has a BA
in English from Northeastern Illinois University,
Chicago, and worked in the communications field
for many years. She and her husband, Stan, have
six children and 18 grandchildren, all who
provide great column fodder.

At the age of

wing in Seattle. He said: "Dad, can I catch
that bird?"
His father said: "You go right ahead,"
and he did.
And when he caught the bird, it tried to bite him,
and his parents went crazy with surprise, so they
screamed at the young Bennett to let the animal
go, but what with its trying to bite him, the
child had begun to spin in a circle, letting
centrifugal force keep the bird's mouth from his
hand; and when they said let it go, he did!
Right into a telephone pole.
Thus far, Mr. Bennett's writing career has been
very similar to this episode.
