Daily rations of newsworthy humour
Take your daily dose of humour where you can. For me, the news is often just the thing. And with this newfangled net thing, I can get news all the time, so my day remains fully cushioned in laughter.
This evening, I caught the news that some parents with children enrolled in a small school across the way (that means across the border) want to turn off the wifi in the classrooms. Seems that the kids have complained of headaches that disappear come the weekend. As one commentator added, very tongue in cheek, “If only my generation had had wifi to blame it on…”.
Down in Florida, someone sold off a relative’s remains at their yard sale. Actually, it was an easy error. If you store the ashes in a potted plant, and then allow someone else in the household to select what valuables are going out onto the lawn tables, there will be things that don’t sell for their just value.
Someone cooked a meal using the electricity available from the USB ports on his computer. No, I don’t get it, either. Guess he’s descended from the branch of humanity that didn’t discover fire.
In California, a university professor believes that the prediction linking something awful to the Mayan calendar may have errors; mathematical errors. As long as he doesn’t find out about the other flaws in the call, he can remain academically blissful.
The Bank of America (a real bank, unlike the Bank of Canada) is about to resume large scale home foreclosures. OK, that one’s not humorous, unless you think bailing out banks makes them all warm and cuddly.
