A fishy story
Finding Davo is not a sequel to the film, Finding Nemo. It’s a story about a fish that belonged to a woman in Swindon, England who is frantic to find out what happened to her pet gold fish, reports the Association of Mature American Citizens [AMAC]. Although she named the fish Dave when she bought it five years ago, her appeal for help in finding Dave has been designated Finding Davo on Facebook in an attempt to attract attention. One wag, upon hearing the story, suggested that Davo might have met the same fate as A Fish Called Wanda in the film of the same name. Wanda was swallowed whole.
Not so free speech
Michigan’s Lake Superior State University doesn’t want you to use certain words and phrases because they’re mis-used, used all too frequently or, as the school’s announcement put it, “generally useless.” For example, according to the Association of Mature American Citizens [AMAC], the school says that all too often “we grapple, litigate, and then yeet irritating words and phrases.” That’s right, yeet — an obviously made up word used to express excitement — is one of the words that are banned, as are the acronyms POTUS, FLOTUS AND SCOTUS [President of the U.S., First Lady and Supreme Court]. And the phrase “the most important election of our time.” Aren’t they all?
Was there a litchi nut for dessert
Although it is a side dish in Chinese cuisine, a savvy New York City squirrel recently made a meal out of an egg roll. How he got hold of the egg roll is anybody’s guess, says the Association of Mature American Citizens [AMAC]. Nevertheless, an alert passerby caught it all in a video that has gone viral via a twitter page all about New York.
