News Humor for Week Ending Friday, Jan 24, 2020


1.   AT&T has warned that one of its DirectTV satellites could soon explode due to a battery issue that was first detected back in December.  ***  They believe the problem was caused by an excessive number of Hallmark Christmas movies.

2.   Earlier this week, former “Baywatch” star Pamela Anderson, 52, unexpectedly married film producer Jon Peters, 74, in Malibu.   ***   Some people might question the wisdom of marrying someone that old, but I’m sure Mr. Peters had his reasons.   

3.   Prince Charles says he expects to support Harry and Meghan even though the couple says they will be “financially independent.”  ***  Apparently, in England, when adults rely on their parents for support they can still say they are “in-de-pendent” – Here in the U.S. we usually say they are “in-de-basement.”

4.   The former head of the Engineering Department at Drexel University has been arrested for spending $185,000 of grant money on entertainment such as gambling, strip clubs and iTunes.  ***  Well, that’s shocking news, especially for people who thought an engineer’s idea of entertainment was line graphs, pie charts and PowerPoint.

5.   As part of their agreement with Queen Elizabeth, Harry and Meghan have given up their titles of “His Royal Highness” and “Her Royal Highness.” ***  Actually, those titles weren’t all that useful; both of them were abbreviated “HRH,” so Harry and Meghan still got their towels mixed up.
