It's February 26th and time for…
Dale Irvin's Friday Funnies
Only two more days until the Winter Olympics are over and they won't be back for four more years. When they do come back, I hope they get a needed update. Take curling and speed skating for instance. Neither one is especially exciting to watch but if you combine them and play them at the same time, on the same ice, it becomes a demolition derby on ice.
The big news this week is that marijuana use among senior citizens is going up. Aging Americans are puffing their pipes for a variety of reasons and I think they need an organization to represent them. I even have a name ready, Geezers For Ganja. But enough with the jokes, here is this week's real news.
THE WEEK IN REVIEW
? It's All About What You Wear – Do not clown around in Tampa, Florida. Police there arrested a man walking down the street wearing a clown mask and bright orange wig. He wasn't doing anything wrong but in Tampa wearing a mask or hood on a public road is against the law so they hauled him in. Trick-or-Treating in Tampa must really suck
? News From Around The World – While the Olympics were hogging all of the sports coverage in Vancouver, Braunlage, Germany hosted a naked sled race. Sponsored by a local radio station, the naked sled event drew 30 sledders and 14,000 spectators. To be fair, the sledders weren't completely naked. They had underpants on but the ladies were topless and from what I saw, were very, very cold.
Meanwhile, at Churchill High School in Winnipeg, Canada, two teachers supervising a student dance broke into an impromptu lap dance that even shocked the kids. Fortunately, one of the students had the presence of mind to video tape the whole thing and "Two teachers, one chair" is worth Googling.
Our last stop this week is Hanoi, Vietnam where 10,000 people showed up to give last rites to a whale. A 15-ton whale washed up on the shore and since whales are sacred in Vietnamese fishing culture, they burned incense and planned to build a temple on the site. Then all 10,000 of them had one heck of a sushi party.
? Eat More, Save Your Life – Samantha Lynn Frazier of Atlantic City, NJ was walking into Herman's Place, her local bar, when she heard gunshots. She also felt a pain in her side and discovered that she had been shot through the love handle. She praised her body fat with saving her life, and said that she will no longer try to lose weight. Good for her but the way I look at it, had she been a few inches thinner, the bullet would have missed her completely.
