A couple of observations on the small and somewhat obscure items in the news, submitted for your amusement.
First, this tiny headline caught my eye in the newspaper recently: Wounded man dies in restaurant.
Nothing special, you think? Well, maybe, except for one thing. The article went on to say that the death actually took place in a White Castle. I’ve never heard anyone refer to White Castle as a ‘restaurant’ before.
Second, there’s a report that 54-year old Catherine Maria Pileggi was upset that her multi-millionaire boyfriend wanted to end their relationship. She stabbed the 70-year old Ronald Vinci several times in the chest, shot him in the head, cut his throat and fractured his skull, according to the police in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. She said he died in a fall.
Really? From what—the 104th floor balcony you pushed him out of? Shouldn’t you have thought of something just a touch more believable before you stabbed, shot and slashed him? What were the odds that the police (not to mention the undertaker) weren’t going to notice those nasty and bleeding wounds?
That’s all for today from FITNY—where funny is STILL the new young, and where you still can’t fix stupid.

Hey Leah! Fixing stupid is not an option. Well, not before lunch, anyway. Indigo
