News Humor for Week Ending Friday, May 8, 2002


1.   The list of federal prisoners to be released early because of COVID-19 reportedly includes Gary Sayers, the owner of a small Michigan manufacturing plant that leaked dangerous chemicals onto I-696 last year in the form of green ooze. ***  The EPA had become aware of the toxic discharge through an anonymous tip on its community involvement hotline, “Slime Stoppers.”

2.   Many therapists and human behavior experts are giving suggestions on ways to cope and avoid stress during these times of home confinement.  ***  Apparently  their ideas are working. Couples who were previously complaining, disagreeing and arguing are now lovingly offering to trim each other’s hair with chainsaws.  

3.   A Utah highway patrolman pulled over an SUV that was being driven erratically, and found that the driver was a 5 year old boy with $3 in his pocket, who claimed he was going to California to buy a Lamborghini.  ***  The trooper, of course, became suspicious when he noticed that the kid wasn’t wearing any gold chains.  

4.   Officials in Venezuela say they have captured two American mercenaries who led a beach invasion with the intent of overthrowing President Maduro.   ***  Witnesses suspected they were not regular military forces when they stopped at a tiki shack to grab a few mai-tais before heading into town.

5.   After being arrested for trying to “self isolate” on Disney’s Discovery Island, a Florida man said he didn’t realize it was a restricted area, despite all the “no trespassing” signs.  ***   Apparently in that part of the world the only access control sign that means anything is an image of Mickey Mouse showing the height requirement.
