News Humor for Week Ending Friday, Aug 7, 2020

 

1.   In Home Depot’s plumbing section today I was impressed at the new toilet designs, including one that claimed, “Flushes a bucket of golf balls in a single flush.”  *** OK, great, but how do I get rid of my clubs?

 

2.   In her podcast yesterday, former first lady Michelle Obama revealed that she’s suffering from a “low-grade depression.”  ***  I hear that some people avoid that by paying someone to take the test for them.

 

3.   In a museum in Passagno, Italy, a tourist accidentally broke three toes off a priceless statue when he jumped up onto the base and asked his wife to take his photo.   ***   After police tracked them down using info in the museum registry, the woman confessed that her husband was the culprit and she should have stopped him as soon as he said, “Here…hold my beer.”

 

4.   In a mission contracted to SpaceX, two NASA astronauts returning from the space station made a splashdown-type landing in the Gulf of Mexico, where they were immediately met by rescue boats and crews that helped them exit their capsule.   ***   To further reduce costs, SpaceX announced that in future splashdowns the astronauts will remain in their capsule and rely on ocean currents to eventually carry them to the Florida coast, at which point rescue crews will quickly wade out and get them.
