News for Week Ending Friday, Jun 14, 2019


1.   The mayor of Bruges, Belgium is trying to control the influx of tourists and he said, “We don't want it to become a complete Disneyland here.”  ***  On the other hand, he did put up all those signs that say, “You must be THIS tall to visit Bruges.”

2.   Burger King is condemning the actions of an employee after a customer’s video showed him cleaning a table with a floor mop.  ***  Well, at least he didn’t use the toilet bowl brush.

3.   According to an environmental advocacy group, traces of weed killer have been found in many brands of cereal.   ***   Well, that certainly explains why I’ve never seen dandelions in my Cheerios.

4.   An oak tree that was planted on the South Lawn of the White House last year by French President Macron and American President Trump has died.   ***   Maybe they took the international friendship theme too far when they watered it with French wine and fertilized it with Big Macs.

5.   A recent study by the British Heart Association found that people can drink as much as 25 cups of coffee a day without damaging their heart.  ***  With that much caffeine most of their injuries will come from starting fights in the line at Starbucks.
