Jokes from the Week in News

Have to look at the humorous side of the news - else you might go crazy.

• Think good use of AI would be to cover the plays of Neil Simon as if written by William Shakespeare. How cool would it be to have a version of the Odd Couple in iambic pentameter. What would an “odd couple” be called in Elizabethan England?
• Think John Bolton's casting as a Deep State villain would be more perfect if he had an eyepatch. But perhaps that would be over the top? “Who does John Bolton work for?”
• Hope some state opens an Alligator Alcatraz of their own but leaves the naming of the facility up to the Internet. I'm looking forward to a Jaily McJailface
• Admit it that if the Cracker Barrel marketing team's goal was to get people talking about Crack Barrel then they succeeded. When's the last time Cracker Barrel entered your consciousness before this rebrand?
•  I might be in the minority that’s not upset about Cracker Barrel’s new logo. Then again I ate there once and would not eat there again, If Spirit Airlines were a restaurant...
• Bed Bath and Beyond says the chain will not open any stores in California because the state makes it impossible to do business there. Many Americans say "Wait Bed Bath and Beyond is still in business and trying to make a comeback?"
• Rumor is that if Lisa Cool resigns from the Federal Reserve the Democrats plan to try and name Adam Schiff as a replacement
• Amused by MSNBC being forced to change their name and them choosing MS Now. This is the worst branding I can remember since the diet pill AYDES came out in the middle of the Aids crisis
• It's interesting that a TikTok influencer known for doxxing ICE agents didn't know their locations when they came to arrest her. Kind of like a psychic getting arrested for fraud and not seeing it coming
• How soon before you start seeing the Gavin Newsom stickers saying “I did that” on gas pumps in California?

Jokes from the past week's news offerings. At least they were funny to me.
