Classic quotations of the Wheat (Simon said May 21, 2017):

"Excuse me, miss, but I'm a professional – I've been looking at women
  my entire life – and you're one good-looking woman!
""

                                                                                          – Leonard Simon


Quotations of the week:
                                            "I was thinking about how people seem to read the Bible  a  lot
                                             
more as they get older.  Then it dawned on me:  They're cram-
                                              ming for the final."
                                                    
                              – George Carlin

Quotation of the weak:
                                        "Interstitials."
                                                                  – Ann Helen Peterson, Buzzfeed writer (we think she was
                                                                     
trying to say "interstices" (which is pronounced "in-TER-
                                                                     
stis-is," not "in-ter-STIS-is") – anyway "interstitial" ("in-
                                                                     
ter-STISH-al") is an adjective, not a noun like "interstice"

Dear Eleanor:
                            I  have  a 31-year-old daughter  who  re-
                            cently  broke up with her long-time boy
                            friend to take up with a 17-year-old boy.
                            I wouldn't be so upset if she didn't have
                            sons aged 15, 14 and 12, and a daughter,
                            10,  who  considered  the man she broke
                            up with their dad.   Her new love is only
                            2 years older than her oldest son.   I  am
                            having a hard time accepting this – and
                            so
are her children.

                            I haven't talked to my daughter about her
                            choice because she's an adult, and the bot-
                            tom line is it isn't my business.  But I wor-
                            ry about
the kids' confusion.

                            To tell the truth, I want nothing to do with
                            this guy.  But I want to continue seeing my
                            grandchildren; so I'll have to deal with this
                            person on some level.  How?
                                                                            Thrown in New York

Dear Throw-in:
                              Ignore him; ignore your daughter; indulge
                              the kids.

Dumb news from Indiana
:
The Brebeuf Jesuit high school of Indianapolis "can no longer
use the name Catholic  and will no longer be identified or rec-
ognized  as a Catholic institution,"  the city's archdiocese ruled,
because it won't fire a teacher in a same sex marriage. . . .

The mother of a 2-month-old girl who starved to death in India-
napolis pleaded guilty for seven years in prison,  but the  father
went to a jury trial and was acquitted. . . .

Identical twins with identical grade point averages were coval-
edictorians of the Jeffersonville High School senior class. . . .

A New Salisbury man, posing as a millionaire, promised an 18-
year-old Alaskan girl, on line, $9 million to rape and murder a
19-year-old girl in Alaska.  The 18-year-old,  Denali Brehmer,
and four other teen-agers, including gunwoman Kayden McIn-
tosh, 16,  shot Cynthia "Cee Cee" Hoffman,  Brehmer's devel-
opmentally disabled "best friend," in the back of the head and
left her,  bound in duct tape,  in the Eklutna River  by  a  rural
trail.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu unveiled a plaque nam-

A  mother  in  Mount Juliet,
Tennessee, discovered an 18-year-old man living in the attic above her
14-year-old daughter's closet, who came down at night  to visit the girl.
. . . Priests wearing hard hats attended a mass at the Notre Dame cathe-
dral in Paris, France. . . . Pastor  Grayson  Fritts,  of  the  All  Scripture
Baptist Church of Knoxville,  Tennessee – also a county sheriff's detec-

gician trying to pull off a "Houdini"  drowned  in the Kolkata River in
India. . . . A Pakistani press conference was live-streamed  with  a  cat

2 billion tons of ice in a day (what climate change?).  .  .  . A man rob-

bama, were seeking a 35-year-old man for keeping an "attack squirrel"
and feeding it meth to keep it aggressive  (
pet  squirrels are  illegal  in
Alabama,  and the state 
Conservation  Department  recommended  re-
leasing the animal, which deputies did;  a
Limestone County Sheriff’s

).

Dear Eleanor:
                            I’m a 26-year-old single man. Most of my good friends
                            are getting married; and when they do, they stop speak-
                            ing to me.  I have a hard time not resenting them  for  it.
                            They make me feel my company was a placeholder un-
                            til they got married,  and I'm not worth keeping around
                            now that they have what they really want.  It makes me
                            feel like a second-class citizen.  Am I right to feel sligh-
                            ted?
                                                                                                 Placeholder

Dear No. 2:
                        Keep your chin up.  Get you some real friends.

                                          be a pitch or a person, stealing is legal and you can spit anywhere except
                                          on the umpire or on the ball."

                                          baseball.  My idea of a relief pitcher is one that's filled

Dear Eleanor:

                           
A year-and-a-half ago my wife and I quit our jobs
                            after saving to travel the world.     It had been our
                            dream  since we met;  but  in the lead-up to travel,
                            her biological clock went off. Six months into our
                            travels,  her  brother  got  his girl friend  pregnant;
                            and my wife suddenly realized she  wanted  child-
                            ren desperately. We bought a house with plenty of
                            room  to grow  and  resettled  down.  We got preg-
                            nant on our first try but lost the pregnancy at eight
                            weeks. It was heartbreaking for us,  and especially
                            hard on her.  It took until that moment for me to re-
                            alize that this isn't what I want.  Not  even  a  little.
                            It wasn't part of the deal.

                                                                         Fork in the Cul-de-Sac
Dear Fuckfork:
                                Not "part of the deal"?  What the fuck do you
                                think marriage is for, you brainless moron?

LETTERS to the EDITOR:
Bruce Mitchell wrote Sun 6/2/19 @15:15 PDT:
The lemon-lime tank looks better to me,  and  more  noticeable.
They should leave it as is, and let schoolkids paint the next one.
Fred Dean wrote Sun 6/2/19 @16:47 PDT:
I agree.  As kids, we thought tanks were fun.
Honkin de Spain wrote Tues 6/4/19 to suggest we might have had
the wrong date of birth or death for Bonnie "Guitar" Buckingham
in our March 31 birthdays column "(1923-1919)."  Yes – she died
this year, not a century ago.    – Editor

Dear Eleanor:
                           
I just hooked up again with a man I dated several years ago.
                            He has had all his teeth pulled since I last saw him; his den-
                            tures don't fit, and he won't get them adjusted. He goes with-
                            out teeth except to work and special occasions, and I find it
                            less than sexy. Our love life is suffering as a result.

                            He tried to get me to kiss him without the teeth, or then he'd
                            put them in for a "booty call."  But  now  he doesn’t even do
                            that!  He expects me to get in the mood when he  looks  like
                            Grandpa.

                            We  don't  live  together.  We see each other once a week or
                            less.  What do I do?

                                                                            Making the Effort in Ohio
Dear Booty-Toot:
                                 Yeah,  well,  what is in it for you?   Too bad you don't have
                                 a dick you can stick in his mouth.  Maybe a dildo would do.

        tled "New in NYC: Sailing, “Game of Thrones,” and piglets (!)" and 8 more messages from "Clut-
        terbook" "Facebook" titled "See Stephen Yates's message and other notifications you've missed."

      Remember, if you don't want to receive any more of this inane crap,
just hit your "Reply" button and type in the subject line, "GET THESE
TABLOID HEADLINES OUT OF MY LIFE AND FUCK OFF!"

      But remember also, you have to spell and punctuate the message
exactly as it appears above €“ without quotation marks, and without
that redundant "Re: " that appears in so many subject lines €“ or you
will keep getting this shit!  ("Cut and paste" won't work, either.  We
have a special filter to detect that.)


DISCUSSION GROUP:

   Don't  forget!  Readers  interested  in
intellectual dissection of important cur-
rent  events  are  invited  to  attend  the
Weekly World News  Round  Table  at
the  offices  of   Borf   Books   outside
Brownsville,    Kentucky,    just   after
church  every  Sunday.    Guest  speak-
ers lined up for  meetings  in  the  near
future include Sandra Tsing Loh.

Contrary to your inference last week, Speedway
is not a suburb of Indianapolis, Indiana;  it is an
"inurb."   It's on the west side of the city,   that's
true;  but it is a separate  municipal  corporation
surrounded by the city on all sides. And it is the
one "town" (plus three "cities") in Marion Coun-
ty not included in Indianapolis' "unigov."

dog is not probable cause for a marijuana search,  since marijuana
is legal. . . . A 21-year-old woman in Ljubljana,  Slovenia,  cut off
her hand in an insurance scam and left it at home  when  she  went
to the hospital;  but doctors found it and  reattached  it – and she'll
get prison,  not a windfall. . . . A 44-year-old Welsh woman detec-

survived a Lenten fast of nothing but beer. . . . An ex-con Oklaho-

changing its name back to IHOP. . . . . The National Spelling Bee

take).                      lemntank.jpg

HOW TO UNSUBSCRIBE:

      Remember, if you don't want to receive any more of this inane crap,
just hit your "Reply" button and type in the subject line, "GET THESE
TABLOID HEADLINES OUT OF MY LIFE AND FUCK OFF!"

      But remember also, you have to spell and punctuate the message
exactly as it appears above €“ without quotation marks, and without
that redundant "Re: " that appears in so many subject lines €“ or you
will keep getting this shit!  ("Cut and paste" won't work, either.  We
have a special filter to detect that.)

DISCUSSION GROUP:

      Don't forget!  Readers interested in
intellectual dissection of important cur-
rent  events  are  invited  to  attend  the
