News for Week Ending Friday, May 10, 2019


1.   Because of an outbreak of measles, the Scientology cruise ship “Freewinds” was quarantined for several days in St. Lucia.   ***   It was terrible; passengers had to stay onboard and were forced to spend the entire week watching a Tom Cruise movie marathon.

2.   In a recent interview, 88 year old Warren Buffet, who’s worth $87 billion, said he drinks five cans of Coca-Cola every day, eats Chicken McNuggets at least three times a week and loves Dairy Queen for dessert.   ***  Of course, it’s easier to have that kind of diet when you can get a quadruple by-pass and pay cash.

3.   Meghan and Harry just had a baby boy, and experts say he is 7th in line to the British throne.  ***   That’s nice, but he’s only 38th in line for the most prestigious pre-school.

4.   In a protest against campus fraternities, students at Swarthmore College have gone on a hunger strike.   ***  Sing along: “Cass was a sophomore, planned to go to Swarthmore, but she changed her mind one day-y-y-y…”   Probably because she heard about their hunger strikes.

5.   Last Sunday was the big Cinco de Mayo holiday in Mexico.   ***  And, in a spirit of international friendship, U.S. border patrol agents chasing illegal immigrants gave all of them a ten minute head start.
