News for Week Ending Friday, Nov 22, 2019


1.   Captain Dick Stevenson, the bar owner who invented the Sourtoe Cocktail, which is served with a mummified human toe, has died, and he willed all his toes to the bar.   ***  Forget the disgusting drink; the grossest thing is when the bartender pulls out the box of toes and plays “This little piggy went to market…”

2.   Doctors Beth Malow, Olivia Veatch and Kanika Bagai published an article in “JAMA Neurology” recommending an end to daylight savings time.  ***   Carnac the Magnificent rips open the envelope and reads, “Name three highly educated people who can’t figure out how to reset their clocks.”

3.   A British study found that a growing number of elderly people in their 90’s are being hospitalized for using cocaine.  ***  That’s unbelievable—it’s gotta be really tough to snort coke with a stiff neck, weak lungs and excessive nose hairs.

4.   The FDA has accused the Dollar Tree of selling unsafe drugs.  ***   They also pointed out that buying drugs at the Dollar Tree is like going to Tuffy Muffler for an organ transplant.

5.   Hillary Clinton is claiming that “many, many, many” people are urging her to run for president again.  ***  However, after intense questioning from CNN fact finders, she admitted that it might only be “many, many.”
