Thanks for the laugh! Here's one for you from this morning's newspaper: 37-year-old Randy Jacob was arrested for molesting passing female pedestrians on March 3,5, 8, 11, and 13, but his 13th assault was on a Deputy Prosecutor who bashed him with her purse and chased him until police arrested him. Was the 13th his undoing, or just being Randy? Some people have peculiar ways of celebrating International Women's Day!

Ha ha... I once had a fishing umbrella that seemingly hadn’t been waterproofed. There were no holes in it, yet I still got soaked underneath it. I soon got rid of it, but I’d refer to it as.... ‘The sieve’. How weird is that? You can imagine I had a ‘nostalgic’ giggle. Terry
