News Humor for Week Ending Friday, Jan 17, 2020


1.   The Everlane shoe company announced it is discontinuing Angelina Jolie’s favorite shoe, the Modern Loafer.  ***  When asked if she’ll miss the Modern Loafer, Angelina said, “No, I’m glad I divorced him.”

2.   Chinese authorities are claiming that members of a banned religious minority have happily “graduated” from the country’s oppressive prison camp system.   ***  Ah yes, there’s nothing like watching students march up the aisle at a commencement ceremony and hearing “Pomp and Circumstance” over the rattling of their shackles.

3.   After Prince Harry and Meghan announced they were stepping back from their senior roles in the British royalty, Madame Tussauds Wax Museum immediately removed their wax figures from the “Royal Family” display.   ***  Queen Elizabeth said Harry’s figure should be returned to the display, but suggested they could just replace Meghan with an inflatable doll. (She said Charles did that with Camilla and no one ever noticed.)  

4.   Uber is working with Hyundai to develop an electric airplane for providing Uber services in the sky.  ***   Wow, that’s an amazing upgrade! Now you can be intimidated, insulted and harassed by a pilot.

5.   This year the Girl Scouts are offering a new cookie, “Lemon-Ups,” which are wafers stamped with positive affirmations such as "I Am a Leader" and "I Am a Go-Getter."  ***  As well as “There goes my diet,” “Why am I eating these?” and “I need more willpower.”
