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

Dear John,

I'm not sure how to tell my parents this, but I'm not going to college. They think I'm going to start classes soon, but I decided not to follow through with college because I have a job I really like. They have been so excited that I'm going to be the first person in my family to go to college, so I'm afraid to tell them. How should I go about this? I already worked with the school and have been able to get out of the student loans that I was approved for. This will not cost my family anything. My scholarships were not very big but I let them go too. I found something I enjoy and plan to make a living doing this. I don't need a degree to be happy, but how do I break the news to my parents? I feel bad that I let it go several months already. Any ideas?

A flydubai flight from Kathmandu to Dubai was significantly delayed after the pilot was found to be drunk. The flight was scheduled to depart but was reportedly delayed over ten hours after the pilot’s colleague suspected him to be under the influence of alcohol. The airline confirmed the incident to Fox News in a statement, saying it has a “zero tolerance policy on flight crew found to be in contravention of the regulations regarding alcohol consumption.” After administering a test, it was discovered the pilot had a blood alcohol level over the legal limit and was “immediately deemed unfit to fly,” the flydubai spokesperson said. Passengers were given refreshments and the airline made other arrangements to get them to their destination “as soon as possible.”

For decades, World Wrestling Entertainment star Kane has entered the ring with his signature hype song playing in the background, 'Slow Chemical' by Finger Eleven. On Thursday, the same song played as the man behind Kane's character, Glenn Jacobs, approached the stage at Crowne Plaza Hotel in downtown Knoxville to officially accept the bid for Knox County Mayor. Buddy Burkhardt, with the Knox County Republican Party, welcomed Jacobs to the stage and said, "I've missed the mask." Part of Kane's WWE story line included burns that required the character to wear a face mask to conceal the scars. However, fans were rocked when Kane lost a championship match and was forced to remove the notorious mask. On election night, Jacobs did not wear the legendary mask. He told WVLT News he was excited for people to get to know him beyond his WWE character.

MOMENT OF DUH:By LearnWithoutLoans.com (Find Funding For College)
According to astounding new reports, a trio of thieves stole a live shark from a Texas aquarium by disguising it as a baby and smuggling it out inside an infant carriage. The Saturday afternoon heist was so bizarre, local police at first thought the whole thing sounded extremely fishy. A police chief said, “When we first got the call, we thought it was kind of a hoax being that it was Shark Week last week.” The bandits — two men and a woman — swiped the 1.5-foot predator from an open tank at the San Antonio Aquarium, with one guy grabbing its tail while the other two wrapped it in a wet blanket. They then placed the shark-baby in a stroller and wheeled the dripping bundle out of the aquatic museum undetected before hopping in a maroon truck. Police later found the truck and took a person of interest into custody. (https://goo.gl/qSnWGT)
