1) Southwest Airlines announced plans to ban peanuts from their flights as of August first. Possible reasons. Pretzels are cheaper and not wanting a passenger to have an allergic reaction to peanuts. It's hard to believe a person, allergic to peanuts, would not know it and eat them for the first time on a plane. If flying without peanuts is simply unthinkable, you could bring your own with you until the TSA disallows them.
2) Was Earle Gustavos Stevens technically drinking and driving?When the deputy contacted Earl, he had the DUI trifecta. He reeked of alcohol, slurred his words and had, the dead giveaway, red and glossy eyes. He was arrested for driving under the influence which he denies doing. He explained that he only drank while stopped at stop signs and traffic signals. It's safe to say a Drinking While Stopped charge is in Earle's future
3) A man from Paraguay surprised his family when he walked into his own wake. Juan Ramon Alfonso Penayou left his home and when he didn't return his family members feared he had been killed in a gang related shooting. The police found a badly burned unidentified body and his family mistakenly thought was Juan. Now he knows who thought enough of him to attend his wake, and, more importantly, who didn't.
4) The Center for Research and Take-Out recently polled people, who don't have anything to do, and available to be polled, asking what they thought about Twitter. A significant percentage felt that people might be better off not being on Twitter. The reason sited was your comments can cause a need to apologize, grovel and even beg for forgiveness for what you "Twitted" when you tweeted. Example: Rosanne.
5) Why is it that people who dislike President Trump always compare him to Hitler and never Stalin. "Old" Uncle Joe, dictator wise, would rank right up there with the best of them including Der Fuhrer.
