News for Week Ending Friday, Jan 11, 2019


1.     The National Center for Health Statistics announced the bad news that U.S. birth rates are now too low to sustain current population levels, and they said the country’s lowest birth rate is in Washington D.C.   ***  The good news is that that’s the one place where we don’t want people to reproduce.

2.     Because men in Saudi Arabia can divorce their wives without telling them, the courts there have begun informing women of their divorces by texting them.  ***  And, to provide support to the newly divorced women, the texts also include the relevant legal documents, words of sympathy and a link to a good dating app.

3.     Several departing passengers at the Baltimore airport were injured when using the boarding jetway.   ***   Gate officials apologized, but said no one would have been hurt if there had actually been a plane waiting at the other end.

4.     Yesterday, in response to charges of sexual assault, Kevin Spacey made his first appearance in a courtroom in Nantucket.   ***   Legal experts say it was the first time formal charges had ever been read in the form of a limerick.

5.     Online dating observers say yesterday was the busiest day of the year for cyber-dating because people are lonely from holiday break-ups, they’ve made a New Year’s resolution to find someone new, and they really want to connect before Valentine’s Day.  ***  The singles who struck out yesterday were the ones who made the mistake of putting all that in their profile.
