Several avid fight fans were arguing about who was the dirtiest boxer of all time.

   The winner named a little-known journeyman, Kirk "The Toe" Kowalski, who was involved in twelve stoppages on cuts--to his opponent's shins. 

   America's young people seem barely able to make change; understand almost nothing about government; hardly read and, certainly, can't write.

   Yet, they talk, text and tweet incessantly.

   About what?  

   A local guy is in the process of forming a group to promote breast feeding--for adult men.

   His tentative slogan:  "Human breast milk, a super-nutritious food--and udderly delicious!"

   A defensible viewpoint, to be sure.  Though it does seem an awful lot like taking candy from a baby. 

   During the Great Depression, what did they call a hooker?

   Fifty-cent piece. 

   Not long ago, Joe Biden told this guy in a wheelchair to stand up and take a bow.

   Understandably, Biden withstood a torrent of jeers and criticism for the obvious gaff.

   Some rock-ribbed Republicans went so far as to characterize Mr. Biden's behavior as "sheer cruelty."

   A few diehard Democrats posited that the Vice President--being a believing Christian--may simply have been trying to heal the man.

   Both these groups were kidding--I think.

   Friend of mine quit expensive online dating services.

   Says too many of the women there just want to get married.

   Now he's into scrolling names of nearby female sex offenders. 

   Local firm's ad for custom-made bras:  "While we work quickly and efficiently, things will definitely be held up." 

   As a kid, I found Roman numerals somewhat difficult to learn--initially. 

   Am told that, more and more, Joe Biden is having trouble making up his mind.

   Maybe, he lacks foundation. 

   Yesterday, heard my shiftless brother-in-law claim to be an aspiring artist.

   News to me.

   In over twenty-five years, the only thing I've ever seen him draw is welfare.
