• You can’t make this stuff up:  These two news snippets were found in “The Week” this week.

  “In Egypt, an Islamic scholar has issued an edict banning married
  people from “being completely naked” or looking at each others bodies
  during sex.”  Now I will admit that in my younger, wilder, single
  years there may have been a female or two that shouldn’t have been
  looked at without beer goggles.  Fortunately those were always
  readily available.  Perhaps that’s why they need this law in
  Islamic countries . . . beer goggles aren’t an option.

  “A British gynecologist announced he is to undergo gender-reassignment
  surgery and become a woman.  Dr. Colin Bone will return to work as
  Dr. Celia Bone.”  Don’t you think Dr. Celia Boneless or Dr. Ceno
  Bone would be more appropriate?  Not since Joey Buttafuco has
  there been a name and situation more ready made for comedians.
