THIS WEEK'S DEAR JOHN LETTER!
(COMMENTS ARE WELCOME)

Dear John,

A friend from work invited me to a pool party but I don't like how I look in a swimming suit. Everyone else will be wearing their two piece slinky suits and looking great. I'll be wearing my pup tent one piece and looking like a whale. Would it be rude for me to not go? I told her I didn't think I could make it, but she has been pretty insistent about me going. Should I just tell her I don't like how I look in a swimming suit? Should I tell her I'll go and ge “sick” that day? That would probably happen anyway. I'm getting sick just thinking about it. I'm glad that she wants to hang out, so I kind of want to go since she asked, but I'm not sure this is the right thing for me. What should I do?

Irked by a delay in the take-off of a Mumbai bound flight, a 37-year-old man allegedly under the influence of alcohol inflicted self-injury by using a pen to stab himself after a verbal spat with airline officials. The passenger was scheduled to board Air India's 2.30 a.m. Mumbai flight. However, when the flight was delayed for about three hours he questioned the airline officials, which led to a verbal duel. The man told the officials that he ran the risk of missing his connecting flight at Mumbai and, in a seeming fit of rage, he took out a pen and punched his stomach, causing bleeding. The passenger was taken to a hospital within the airport premises for treatment and the flight later departed without him. (https://goo.gl/qpc4h3)

The phrase "rule of thumb" is derived from an old English law which stated that you couldn't beat your wife with anything wider than your thumb.

The term "the whole 9 yards" came from WWII fighter pilots in the South Pacific. When arming their airplanes on the ground, the .50 caliber machine gun ammo belts measured exactly 27 feet, before being loaded into the fuselage. If the pilots fired all their ammo at a target, it got "the whole 9 yards."

A Victoria, Australia farmer accused of murdering a man who ran over his dog has claimed his shotgun went off accidentally when he tripped on an eggplant. 55-year-old Angelo Russo is accused of fatally shooting David Calandro during a dispute after Calandro ran over Russo's dog at a Goulburn Valley farm. Russo was reportedly holding a shotgun and walking towards Calandro’s utility vehicle when he says he tripped on an eggplant and the gun accidentally went off. But the prosecution alleges the 55-year-old walked up to Calandro and deliberately shot him in the head because Russo was angry about his dog Harry being run over. The trial in the Victorian Supreme Court is still ongoing.

According to an FBI affidavit, a Colorado man is facing federal charges after allegedly groping a female airline passenger and then urinating on the seat in front of him. 45-year-old Michael Allen Haag was traveling from Denver to Charleston, South Carolina on Frontier Airlines when he became unruly and disrupted the flight. Haag, drinking double vodka and tonics, told a woman seated next to him that he was traveling to South Carolina to meet with an old girlfriend and was “physically excited.” The woman said Haag pestered her with personal questions and kept looking at her “chest and legs as she was wearing a tank top and shorts.” After touching another female passenger and being moved to the back of the plane, Haag removed his seatbelt “and started urinating on the seat in front of him.” Upon landing in South Carolina, Haag was removed from the aircraft by officers with the Charleston Aviation Authority Police Department.

A baboon on his way to a South Texas wildlife sanctuary escaped his crate and kept officers busy for two hours at San Antonio International Airport. Officers shot the baboon named Dawkins with a tranquilizer dart. The ape got loose Monday afternoon shortly after arriving on an American Airlines flight from Chicago. The flight had originated in Boston. Airport spokesman Rich Stinson says officers managed to corner Dawkins in a baggage handling area outside the terminal. Stinson says the baboon never came close to travelers and was confined the whole time to a secure baggage area. Dawkins was being transported from Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, to the Born Free USA sanctuary near Cotulla, Texas. - wate.com

A Tennessee high school Spanish teacher was suspended without pay amid accusations that she sold alcohol to students. Alix Morales, a teacher at Siegel High School, was suspended May 17 until May 25 pending an investigation into the claims. Morales was accused of selling alcohol to the students and discussing the transactions in the school’s hallway. She was ordered to have limited discussion about the investigation as it proceeds.

Authorities say a priest found two people having sex beneath a statue at a Roman Catholic church in New Jersey. Seaside Heights police say 43-year-old Anthony Getchius, of Newark, and 48-year-old Noelle Smart, of Jersey City, are facing lewdness charges. The frisky couple was busted after getting down and dirty underneath a statue of the Virgin Mary at Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Seaside Heights. The priest called the cops, who witnessed the couple fully engaged in lovemaking. Police said the unholy act occurred in a “sacred area” — a secluded garden — between the church and the rectory. Both Getchius and Smart were charged with lewdness, and Getchius was also hit with charges of creating a dangerous condition and obstructing the law. (https://goo.gl/nqZBVc)
