The news reports tonight that fat people cost the airlines over $275 million dollars a year in excess fuel.

 

There is a brouhaha developing over a biography of famed author Graham Greene because it highlights his fondness for hiring prostitutes and "sordid sexual pursuits." Greene once wrote a list of the 47 prostitutes he had hired with coded references to the sordid details. (NYT)

 

A military plane strafed an elementary school in New Jersey with 25 rounds of ammunition.

 

Scott Peterson's lawyer promised all jurors voting not guilty a blow job from Scott...oh, I am just kidding. Lawyers wouldn't do that!

 

A naked man who had been turned down for a ticket at LAX got on the runway and tried to board the plane anyway...that one's true!

 

How else are we going to keep things interesting here now that the election is over?

Back in ancient times, like trans-Atlantic air travel before the 707, airlines weighed every passenger and every piece of luggage. I have a delightful picture of an uncle of mine being weighed at checkin before a flight to London. Unknown about the truth, but supposedly he regularly had to pay excess passenger charges on himself.

And, of course, it was a DC National Guard pilot based out of nearby Andrew's Air Force Base. These are the same guys that constantly fly over the city to ward against terrorist..... Boy, do I feel safe and protected! x(

Hmmm... I guess that means Toccara will not be winning "America's Next Top Supermodel"... not only are the designers unable to find a rack of clothing that fits her, but now she is a liability to the national eoconomy.

Obesity seems to be poised to become the next "crime against humanity" in America, now that we smokers have been beaten into submission. It don't matter what the rest of the world thinks of us... we Americans, we're so thin and healthy. And Pretty, don't forget pretty. We work so hard to keep the pounds off, just like the rest of the world works hard just to put food on the table.

Gee, I don't mean to sound misanthropic...

I had a point to this tirade, some while ago, but it fell to the bottom of my martini, and is forever lost... .

That same biography of Graham Greene suggests that he had repressed "homoerotic" impulses, which explains his constant sexual activity with female prostitutes (I've never been able to follow the logic in that argument).

 

If Scott Peterson is found guilty, he may not be able to choose to whom he gives blow jobs.

Wake up, little Suzie!

(AP) --

 

A 6-year-old girl brought more than $1,000 worth of crack to school, and her mother claimed the child must have gotten it while trick-or-treating.

 

The first-grader was suspended from Tangelo Park Elementary. Her mother is under investigation.

 

School officials sent a letter home to parents Thursday, explaining how an anti-drug campaign led another student to recognize the more than a dozen pieces of crack.

I think that this is the funniest statement posted on this board in long time. Thanks for the laugh, and to think that I didn't even have to get tickled. :7 Leave 'em laughing Trixie!

RE: A Hole In One

 

Prostitutes and golf wouldn't seem to mix, and, as a judge points out, the election has shifted the moral tone in this country, but hey, wouldn't you like to get laid while scoring?

 

Three Sentenced for Providing Sex on a Golf Course

Norco tournament organizers get probation, house arrest and a fine for staging two events that included prostitutes, strippers.

 

 

By Lance Pugmire, LA Times Staff Writer

 

 

Riverside County sheriff's investigators knew something was fishy when some golfers showed up for a golf tournament in Norco without their clubs.

 

When deputies raided the Hidden Valley Golf Club during the June 14, 2002, tournament, they found more than a dozen prostitutes and strippers providing sex and entertainment to golfers in tents set up near several tees.

 

On Thursday, a woman and two golf course managers who organized the tournament were sentenced to 125 days of house arrest and three years' probation for felony conspiracy to corrupt public morals.

 

Riverside County Superior Court Judge Christian F. "Rick" Thierbach chastised the three for the "immoral and illegal actions," telling them that the results of Tuesday's presidential election showed that many in the community place a high value on morality.

 

Hidden Valley Golf Club general manager Jason Wood, 38, his former assistant Darren James Bollinger, 30, and Sandy Juarez, 39, had organized two tournaments that drew an estimated 160 golfers. Along with a day of golf, Juarez provided prostitutes and strippers inside tents along the course.

 

The strippers and prostitutes, including one 16-year-old girl, advertised their services and prices on boards posted outside the tents, Riverside County Deputy Dist. Atty. Arthur Chang said.

 

"Some were drink girls; others were pure strippers who didn't let guys touch them, and others were there to have full-on sex," Chang said.

 

Juarez, of Lancaster, lured the golfers from various strip clubs, charging each $200 to play. Wood and Bollinger brought in an estimated $5,110 to $5,810 to the club by allowing the so-called "girlie" tournament to take place on May 23 and June 14, 2002.

 

Riverside County sheriff's deputies, dressed in camouflage and equipped with binoculars, were in the surrounding hills monitoring the June 14 tournament. Deputies raided the event, detaining 90 golfers, 17 strippers and prostitutes and several golf course employees. Two male golfers were convicted of engaging in prostitution, and Angie Peraza, the mother of the 16-year-old prostitute, faces charges of prostitution and child endangerment.

 

Wood, Bollinger and Juarez initially were charged with eight counts of felony pimping and pandering and could have been sentenced to three years in prison. Juarez struck a plea bargain in February 2003, agreeing to testify about Wood and Bollinger's knowledge that the sexual acts were being provided at the tournament.

 

"Women degrading themselves … lewd sexual activity for money, golfers without golf clubs; these tournaments involved both largely illegal and highly antisocial conduct, all purely for profit," Chang wrote in his sentencing memorandum.

 

Outside of court, Chang said he had heard of similar "girlie" tournaments at other Southern California courses.

 

"We'd like to send the message [that] this type of activity is illegal, immoral and something that will be prosecuted," Chang said.

 

Wood and Bollinger, both of Temecula, and Juarez were convicted of felony conspiracy to corrupt public morals and, along with the house arrest and probation, were each ordered to pay $10,000 to a nonprofit charity of the district attorney's choosing and ordered to perform 100 hours of community service.

 

"[Wood and Bollinger] are both happy this is all over now; they are happy to look forward to the future," said Steve Harmon, Bollinger's attorney. "This has been quite an ordeal for both of them."

Well, he did write "May We Borrow Your Husband", which is a funny little tale of two gay characters having a gay old time on vacation in the south of France. He also included some stories of characters who frequented female prostitutes. Maybe, Mr. Greene was writing from personal experiences! ;)

RE: Wear Your Underwear!

 

The law saying a Muslim woman must first cover her face if found naked by a male is not dumb at all. After all, if she covers her face the male will not know who she is and wouldn't recognize her again if he were to meet her on the street. ;)
