Let’s get to the news… (Play News Music – Clip 03)

Tally this one for the humourless in America:

KENNEWICK, Wash. –A health board in Washington State has reversed itself and voted against endorsing a colon cancer awareness campaign that uses billboards saying, "What's up your butt?"

Wednesday's vote by the Benton Franklin Health District in Kennewick, Wash., was in response to complaints the ads are in poor taste.

The butt billboards were earlier displayed in Yakima to raise colorectal cancer awareness and encourage people to get screened for the disease.

So awareness for good cause is scuttled because people have no sense of humor. “What’s up their butt?” Hopefully colon cancer...

From the Mexican jails are maybe not as secure as their American counterparts file comes this story:

CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico (AFP) –Mexican police have dismantled a fully-stocked bar -- complete with two billiards tables -- that had been operating inside a jail.

Authorities announced late Tuesday that they had seized some 200 bottles of beer, 12 bottles of tequila and 20 bottles of vodka, as well as firearms, marijuana and heroin from what they said was a low-security prison.

Carlos Gonzales, a spokesman for the northern Chihuahua state where the raid took place, did not provide details as to how the prisoners had concealed the watering hole from authorities.

But he said at least one prison administrator had been fired over the incident and may face charges.

UNIONTOWN, Pa. – (Clip 38) What could be a happier thing than an ice cream truck in summer? Well, few things immediately spring to mind, but one thing is for certain...it’s NOT two ice cream trucks. Two Pennsylvania ice cream truck drivers are in danger of having their permits revoked if they can’t get along.

Police are hoping the threat of losing their permits will be enough to thaw the frosty relationship of the two ice cream truck drivers accused who are accused of getting into a fight that escalated into trying to run each other off the road.

Police told the rival vendors to chill out after a dispute Wednesday night.

The wife of one vendor told police the other man tried to run her husband off the road.

The implicated ice cream driver disputes the woman's account, saying it was her husband who tried to force him off the road. He also claimed the man had returned his good natured hello by shouting an expletive at him.

The city says both drivers may have their permits revoked if they can't find a way get along. No word in the story about what company they worked for, but for the sake of irony, I really hope they are both  “Good Humor” men.

I’m Craig, and that is the news… (Play News Music – Clip 03)

Something to think About:

1. In baseball, a balk is a fake rule. It’s way too complicated to be real.

2. Pee here often?

3. Badly planned words: Monosyllabic has five syllables and Lisp has an S

4. All crime is directly attributable to the San Francisco Giants

5. Denise at Taco Bell is kind of stuck up

6. Yoda and Grover are the exact same voice

7. They say dog’s mouths are cleaner than humans, but I ain’t buying it.
