Hard to believe it’s Friday again.  Time for another “Fish Fry” – or in my case – “Poached Salmon Without Hollandaise Sauce”. 

It’s been a busy week…  If you follow me on Facebook you know I was faced with the massive challenge of fixing a broken garbage disposal.  Well guess what?  I did it! I actually called the plumber myself!

Dorothy Gallear of Wigan, England has moved her two-year-old son to another daycare after a teacher made him cry by confiscating his cheese sandwich.  The school says that cheese sandwiches are not on a list of approved menu items under national healthy food guidelines.  They say the addition of lettuce and tomato would have made it okay.  The boy’s mom called it “absolutely pathetic”.

- She originally said, “That’s a bunch of baloney” but was then told that “baloney” is not on the list of approved words used to describe national healthy food guidelines.

NEWSFLASH:  INDIAN MAN CLAIMS TO LIVE WITH NO FOOD OR WATER FOR 70 YEARS…

NEWSFLASH:  LOCAL MAN CLAIMS TO LIVE WITHOUT STOPPING EATING FOR MORE THAN 40 YEARS…

First things first… Scientists in India are testing an 82-year-old man who claims he’s healthy despite having nothing to eat or drink in 70 years.  Prahlad Jani claims he’s a “Breath-arian” who is sustained by the elixir of a goddess and lives on “spiritual life force”.

- Meanwhile, the local man, one Mr. Big A. Muskovito paused during his lunch at an all-you-can-eat buffet just long enough to claim that he is a “Breast-arian”.   In addition, he claims that he lives on a spiritual life force found only at KFC and is sustained by the elixir of gravy.

But the story of the week has to be…

A prison inmate in Caldwell, Ohio had to have emergency surgery to remove a bottle of hot sauce from… well, you know… where the sun don’t shine.  He eventually admitted he was responsible – but originally blamed the incident on another inmate.

- Which seemed plausible.  After all, the inmates name was Darrell and the bottle was clearly marked “Frank’s Hot Sauce”.

Have a great weekend, we’ll see you back here Monday… and GO WINGS!

All the best,

Dick
