1.   Miami business owner David Hines was arrested when federal officials discovered he had used part of his PPP loan to buy a $300,000 Lamborghini.   ***  The fraudulent expenditure was pretty well hidden, but a sharp-eyed auditor got suspicious when he noticed a receipt for gold neck chains.

2.   To help protect toll collectors from Covid, workers at the Mackinac Bridge (access to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula) are asking motorists to wear a facemask when paying their toll. *** They said they’re mostly concerned about first timers, who tend to spray a bit when they find out they have to pay.

3.   Mike Tyson, 54, has announced that he’ll be climbing back into the ring to fight an exhibition bout against boxer Roy Jones Jr. in Carson, California.    ***   As soon as the promoter finishes installing the grab bars.   

4.   To recover from bankruptcy, Hertz needs to raise cash, reduce expenses and downsize, and plans to sell almost 200,000 cars from its rental fleet.   ***  Each car will come with complete maintenance records, free floor mats, and a 55 gallon drum of Hertz air freshener.  

5.   The Hallmark Channel has scheduled classic Christmas movies from July 10th to August 1st, and the network’s website says “Celebrate Christmas in July.”   ***   Wait a minute…They’re telling us we should celebrate Christmas 5 months early?...Do they know something we don’t know?
