1. The FDA has warned the public not to mistake the type of
chloroquine used to clean fish tanks as a possible Covid-19 treatment. *** And no, that little thing blowing bubbles at
the bottom of the tank cannot be used as a ventilator.
2. I bought a new Honda lawnmower back in 2003, and now, in
spite of all the wear and tear, I’m still using that same trusty machine to mow
the lawn. *** My doctor can’t believe it.
3. Burger King is airing an ad which announces its new delivery
service, encourages compliance with “stay-at-home” directives, and coins the
phrase “couch potatriate,” all in a nod to Winston Churchill’s memorable WWII
statement to people on the home front, “They also serve who only stand and wait.” *** I believe the
Burger King version is “They also serve who only sit and gain weight.”
4. Trucking company owner Maurice “Mo” Fayne, who appears on the
reality show “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta,” has been arrested for using his
$1.5 million small business loan to buy a Rolls-Royce, jewelry and other luxuries. *** Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said that
was an egregious misuse of funds from the Payroll Protection Program, and Mr.
Fayne should have paid for all those personal items with his $1,200 stimulus
check.
5. The Detroit Institute of Arts is closed due to COVID
concerns, but its museum shop is still selling items online and has added a
line of facemasks with images of famous works of art. *** My wife selected Claude Monet’s “Rounded
Flower Bed,” and now she can literally put her Monet where her mouth is.
