"Military To Fly Old Planes"

Ummm, would't the correct headline be "New SAR Aircraft Orders Delayed"? :135:

A number of years ago there was a video going around of a TV news site.

Apparently the weatherman had promised six inches of snow that night. So the next day, after it hadn't snowed, the female news anchor says to the weatherman,

"What happened to those six inches you promised me last night?"

Human-remains-found-floating-in-recycling-bin-off-Kits-Point-in-Vancouver

And in the story,
“We are asking property managers for multi-dwelling buildings and local residents to check their recycling and garbage rooms to see if any large, blue, wheeled recycling containers are missing",

Hmmmmmmmm, shouldn't they be asking if any persons are missing?

If you go down in the woods today, you're sure of a bloody surprise,

https://globalnews.ca/news/7412779/cann ... l-surgery/

Two men have been charged in Oklahoma for allegedly illegally castrating a victim they had lured into the woods after the 28-year-old answered an online ad for discounted gender-affirming surgery. :200:

All you can do is shake your head in disbelief.

Here’s a good idea....
Plow then sand the roads, in the past sanding first then plowing makes you look like idiots.
I don't give a damn whether people/posters like me or dislike me, I'm not on earth to win any popularity contests.

This one gave me pause.

https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/23/politics ... index.html

"Two former Trump officials to be investigated for posting papers denying climate change" is the headline.

What is the real story? They used government stamped paper without their bosses official approval.
As WW3 develops, no one is going to be dissing the "preppers." What have you done?

I in 13 Americans have covid, but

One in FIVE Americans has an STI.

So stay 6 feet apart and guaranteed STI will go away. Not so sure about covid.
