Stupid Headlines 042521
This week’s stupid headlines and my
stupider sometimes sophomoric comments
U.S.
House of Representatives approves cannabis banking bill – Why would someone want to put their
pot in a bank?
Burger
King drive-thru workers trick drunk driver into waiting for police – Hold the pickles, hold the lettuce, the
driver’s so drunk we’re just fed up, take him a-way from Burger King.
Taco Bell
testing vegan meat alternative – Vegan meat? Is that anything like jumbo shrimp?
Creature
lurking in tree terrorizing Poland town turns out to be a croissant stuck in a
tree – It took
three people to remove it, one to hold the croissant, two to chop down the
tree.
Trained
dogs can smell coronavirus in your pee – So no swab, just pee on a pup?
Short
sleep contributes to greater dementia risk, study suggests – Or dementia keeps you awake…one of
those…the study isn’t sure. How helpful
is that?
Italian

salary – Ah yeah,
I’ve got a sore throat and a slight fever, so I’m going to have to call in sick
for, oh…about 15 years!
Man hurls
rabid bobcat after it attacks him and his wife – Wife was fortunate her husband was a
former Olympic Bobcat Hurler.
Oklahoma

protests.
Caitlyn
Jenner announces run for governor of California – If you were to tell me years ago, someone
would run for Governor of California, that was once an Olympic gold medal
winner, I’d have said you’re crazy!
Feel-good Story of the Week
I love this one!
Shaquille O’Neil Hall of Fame Basketball
player
Shaq was
out shopping when he saw a man buying an engagement ring – then he bought it
for him - This man
is special, an extra successful athlete, businessman and personality…he is also
a really nice person.
Shaq
said the man buying the ring was a "young kid, a hardworking guy"
and
the ring was on layaway. "I said, 'You know what, tell your girlfriend I
got it.
Take
care of her.' And at first, he didn't want to take it,"
Shaq
said. He told the man not to worry, he does it all the time.

That was a very lovely thing for Shaq to do :)
ReplyDeleteWe have "vegan meat" over here too. Vegan sausages, vegan burgers, vegan bacon and vegan minced "meat". Meat eaters invented these shapes first. Vegetarians should invent their own shapes like square burgers and cubic sausages.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
When you see those print headlines it makes you wonder how many people saw them and thought they were fine. Nothing like the fear of dementia to keep you up at night. That is a self fulfilling prophecy.
ReplyDeleteI liked the feel good story with Shaq. Very thoughtful man he is to try to do a good thing daily.
ReplyDeleteBruce Jenner might just make a good governor. Certainly better than who is running the state presently!
betty
Shaq is one of the most precious people. He is very generous and kind hearted, he was raised that way.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the grins, and the smile.
The feel good story brought tears to my eyes and again proves there are still really good people in this crazy world,,go Shaq! 15yrs and full salary? I feel so stupid. I worked at my hospital for 41 years and don't think I took more than 15 days off! Well, I think Olympic Gold medalist Caitlyn Jenner will have the running part for Governor nailed..it's the winning that might prove tough.
ReplyDeleteNow I've got that Burger King jingle stuck in my head. As for Taco Bell, the Home Ec teacher informed us at the teacher lunch table that Taco Bell uses WORM PROTEIN in their "meat." Probably shared that to get even with us for calling her the Home Ec teacher, rather than the FACS (Family And Consumer Sciences) teacher.
