    Charlie Fogwhistle has been playing up in the lights the last few nights, as well as several others relatively new the The O.F.W.T.J. Society. And, while I’ve been posting longer than they have, seniority is apparently no guarantee of superiority. Therefore, I’m unearthing some Winners. I hope…

    A nubile young college professor is handing out weekend assignments to her students. “Class,” she instructs, “This must be completed and turned in to me no later than Monday morning – NO EXCUSES.”

    Little Johnny (yes, that Little Johnny; he’s in college now) raises his hand and asks, “What about extreme sexual exhaustion?”

    The prof waits for the laughter to die down, and then, with exquisite timing, looks Little Johnny in the eye and sweetly replies, “Then you’ll just have to learn to write with your other hand.”

    The “ban” on Fernando De Noronha isn’t for the parents; it’s for the doctors. The hospital there doesn’t have facilities set up for childbirth or childcare, so they’re required to transport pregnant patients to the nearest suitable hospital.

    Imagine if you know you’re going to give birth because you heard a breaking noise from your body. Who’d ever do it? Also, I can’t believe Mike even survived all that.

    On the Island of Svalbard it is illegal both to give birth and to die. Not sure what the penalty for any of them is, tough.

    Come to think of it I’ve never seen a clothed garden on the first Saturday of May.

    Take care, may famed baby doctor Goo-Goo “Gaa-Gaa Gee-Gee” Gor-Gord be with you, and gesundheit.

    The illustration of the pregnant woman has her showing more skin than the illustration of the man gardening on “World Naked Gardening Day”.

    World Naked Gardening Day is fun, but not as much fun as World Naked Frying Bacon and Eggs Day.

    I heard that Mike Heard tried one more jump but the cord snapped.
