News Quiz: Real Life or Andy Borowitz Tweet?
This week, the Daily Dolt tests your ability to decipher real life from an Andy Borowitz tweet:
Quiz:
1.) Citing Safety Concerns, Somali Pirates Boycott Royal Caribbean Cruises.
2.) Italian Pharmacists Vow to Hold Viagra Hostage From Consumers If Labor Demands Not Met
3.) National Alliance of Funeral Directors Issues Statement Against Obamacare
"Arrrrrr!!"
Answers:
1.) Andy Borowitz.
2.) Real. ”Pharmacists will stage a series of labor actions during April, culminating with the so-called ‘Viagra strike’ if their complaints are not redressed. One group protested Thursday outside Parliament under the banner ‘No Viagra, No Party.’”
3.) Andy Borowitz. An Argument Against Healthcare, From the National Alliance of Funeral Directors: ”It was Revolutionary War hero Patrick Henry who said, in 1775, ‘Give me liberty or give me death.’ From that moment on, legal scholars have agreed that the Constitution guarantees every American the liberty to be dead.”

Excellent smarty-pants humor! No one asked or cared but my fave is Borowitz and the Pirates. That's funny, wonder if it was a polite refusal or more of a middle finger type thing?

I have mastered some new items from your web page about computer systems. Another thing I've always thought is that computers have become an item that each home must have for a lot of reasons. They offer convenient ways to organize households, pay bills, shop, study, tune in to music and even watch tv programs. An innovative solution to complete most of these tasks has been a laptop. These desktops are mobile, small, highly effective and portable.

I say to you, I certainly get annoyed while people think about worries that they plainly do not know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people could take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
