Show Notes for Thursday March 19, 2020




THIS WEEK'S DEAR JOHN LETTER!

Dear John,

My daughter has two boys, 4 and 5. They are ALWAYS fighting and getting rough, to the point where they've broken furniture and hurt one another. I've tried to help my daughter get them to behave, but they won't listen. My daughter told me she does not want or need my help. She says it's just “boys being boys” As a grandmother I'm concerned that this will get out of control and someone will be hurt. Am I being overly protective? Should I butt out? Any advice for a grandma who just wants to make sure nobody gets hurt?

Signed – ConcernedGrandmaI CALLED IN THE BIG GUNS FOR THIS ONE AS WELL!

On February 7th police noticed a 39-year-old Wyandotte, Michigan man traveling on his bike, going the wrong direction on Fort Street. According to police, he was causing several vehicles to break abruptly. After being told why he was stopped, the man explained to police that he was merely trying to get across the road. He verbally identified himself and agreed to a pat-down search for weapons. During the search, an officer felt a small object inside the small front pocket of his pants. The man said he had no idea what it could be. Inside the pocket police found a folded lottery ticket, commonly used for packaging narcotics. The officer asked the man if the bindle in the pocket contained fentanyl. “These are not my pants,” the man replied. “I borrowed them from my cousin.” The substance inside the bindle field-tested positive for fentanyl and heroin. He was subsequently arrested for possession of heroin/fentanyl, which is a felony. (https://bit.ly/32vk7fp)

FUN FACT FOR YOU:Share this with your friends... they'll think you're really smart!

Apple Pie isn't actually American. Apples originally come from Asia. The first pies were baked in Medieval Europe. Even the concept of putting apples in pie traces back to a recipe from England in 1381. Nevertheless, the phrase "as American as apple pie" turned up by 1924 and became a common saying during the years of the Second World War.

A NEWS HEADLINE... FROM SOMEWHERE IN THIS WORLD!

Dateline.... CHINA

Being a thoughtful boyfriend he made an appointment for her at a cosmetic surgery clinic for a boob job. She did not appreciate the gift and kicked him to the curb.
WEIRD NEWS: Brought to you by WeirdGiftOfTheDay.com

With face masks that supposedly protect from coronavirus in short supply around the globe, some men in Japan are trying out another idea: wearing women’s underwear over their faces instead. Twitch streamer C-jay-san discovered that when, while visiting Japan, a couple of men walked up to him with newly purchased underwear covering their noses and mouths. C-jay was talking to a man on the sidewalk about dancing when another man wearing yellow fabric on his face approached him as he streamed. Though face masks have become a popular item in the wake of the fast-spreading virus, the World Health Organization (WHO) has said that it’s not necessary to wear one if you’re healthy. The WHO also said nothing about wearing women’s underwear on your face instead. But it seems unlikely to help… (https://bit.ly/2TIWFIF)
MOMENT OF DUH: Brought to you by InsuranceChicken.com

According to court records, as the coronavirus scare prompts panicked runs on toilet paper worldwide, a Florida Man was arrested for the 1:00 a.m. theft of some two-ply bath tissue from a neighbor’s vehicle. Police allege that 25-year-old Safraz Shakoor burglarized a Dodge truck parked in the driveway of a residence a few blocks from his Clearwater home. Shakoor was recorded on a Ring video surveillance camera entering the unlocked truck’s backseat and swiping “a roll of toilet paper from a 6-pack of Smart & Simple bath tissue.” A pack of the toilet paper--perhaps the cheapest brand on the market--sells for $1 at Dollar General, though the retailer is currently out of stock, according to its web site. The product is described as “Made in the USA from 100% recycled fiber.” Shakoor was arrested on a felony burglary charge and booked into the county jail on $5,000 bond. Shakoor’s rap sheet includes multiple convictions for possession and sale of marijuana and theft. (https://bit.ly/2IHt0cJ)
