Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

I was reading this story on the front page of our local newspaper as I walked from the newspaper tube to the steps leading to our back door this morning.

The name of the brothel owner definitely tripped me up a more than just a little bit >> Xue Jun Yuan-Goldberg << …Uhhhh, did I read that right? Yes. Ooookaaayyyyy.

Rest of article seems to be the normal everyday weirdness that gets into print in this town … wait a minute: request for financial document = picture of President Clinton … that’s weird even for this place!
Okay.
Here it comes … [first step]
Soon … [second step]
I get to … [third step]

the last paragraph:

[Never made that last step … Visiting hours at the hospital are 6 to 8 PM - I promised mama that I will try to get the image of my face out of the boards on my deck when I recover.

If I can bring myself to stop laughing by then.

(Read the whole article carefully to get the context. I had to explain it to my wife. Twice. When it finally dawned she damn near lost it as bad as I did …)

Ok, so the chick is nuts, but is there more that I am missing?

(I wonder how Elko would be to retire to?)

Well, we’re all pretty nuts around here, but … Hmmm. Okay, well, maybe you … Huh … never mind.

Here is (almost word for word) how I led my wife to the light at the end of the joke.

Brothel = legal house of prostitution.

Councilmen = group of men with power to determine whether or not legal house of prostitution keeps it’s license.

Now try reading that last line again.

Hey … we got it all.

A Big K-Smart, J. C.Penney’s, Burger King, Wendy’s, A Home Depot … A SuperWallyWorld …

::Okay now, everbody sing:: five gold mines*, four full casinos, three exits on I-80, TWO Micky Ds, and a brothel near a bear tree!

:stuck_out_tongue:
:smiley:

BTW, Paul this really is a great place to live, retired or not. You’d probably feel right at home. (note location …) :smiley:

It’s jus’ that I don’t think the Editor at the EDFP actually, ya know, like reads every thing that goes across the desk on the way to the press, so we get some real gems …

:eek:

*more or less …

I’d like to think the editor does read it, and just has a good sense of humor.

The Clinton pic was “to illustrate that she knew the former president.”
I’m assuming it was autographed.
Ideally on-site.

One can, I suppose, always hold on to fantasy … :smiley:

Now that had not occured to me … :smack: Doubtful it would have a good ol’ “G” rating, though. :eek:
