Weekly news - rave or rant?

A lighter look at the news

 

Jeff Bezos sent his fiancée and a few celebrity friends, on a joyride in his Blue Origin space craft, to hover over planet Earth. Eleven minutes later, they were back. The first to emerge from the capsule was fiancée, Lauren Sanchez, who appeared to have missed him for every single second of every one of those eleven minutes. 

Next to make an appearance, was singer Katy Perry. She shot out of the capsule like a firework and proceeded to sink to her knees to kiss the ground, thereby appropriating Pope John Paul II's signature move. Apparently, whilst up there, Katy Perry sang What a Wonderful World.  Mercifully, she didn't burst into I Kissed the Earth and I liked it, as she arose from the ground.

Also, appropriating John Paul II's signature move was Oprah's best bud, Gayle King. Joining them in this physical display of affection for Mother Earth, was none other than Jeff Bezos himself, albeit, involuntarily. He was walking around the capsule and tripped on what appeared to be a pothole masquerading as a crater from the moon. Down he went, planting a smacker on Mother Earth with his whole face. 

Maybe that is the Universe's way of telling him to stick to trying to clean up the environment of our planet instead of adding to its pollution with these (mostly) pointless jaunts. Especially when one of the highlights of the trip appears to have been the sighting of the Moon. I don't know about you, but I have spent many a cloudless night appreciating that same shiny orb in the night sky, from my back garden. Rumour has it, that if you view it through an instrument called a telescope, it's almost as if you are right there.

Katy Perry also made another discovery. She discovered the four letter word love. As I heard her gush, I discovered another four letter word but I shan't be using it. Not yet. I'll wait for Mr Bezos to offer me a ride on his Blue Origin and then I'll use it, followed closely by the two letter word no.

Since Ms Perry had to go to space to discover love, I have a thought. How about sending a certain President to space. It doesn't even have to be on Blue Origin. His chain saw wielding bestie could arrange it.

Talking about said President, his medical report got published and you will be relieved to know that he passed with flying colours. Colours that flew so high, they went beyond Blue Origin's all-female crew's joyride.

While most people chuckled at his purported weight in his medical report, my eyebrows shot up at his purported blood pressure reading. How can a 78 year old man, whose diet apparently consists mostly of junk food and whose cup runneth over with diet coke and malice, have such a text book, perfect bp reading? If true, I have this theory that President Don Chaotic's blood pressure decreases in direct proportion to the increase in blood pressure he causes decent people.

I shall now await worldwide recognition for this theory and possibly even a Nobel prize.

The stable genius continues to hold on to his title, as he has, once again, aced his cognitive test. Apparently, the doctor was totally awe struck, as he had never witnessed anyone ace the test like he did. He got a mark that no one before him had ever achieved. It is yet to be established if the doctor had tears in his eyes while extolling these incredible achievements.

Dumb-a-Lardo coyly declined to confirm if he had to memorize and recall the same five words that he did the last time, before admitting that he couldn't remember if he had to or not. But worry not, he did brilliantly and his stable genius crown is intact.

If indeed he did have to memorize and recall five different words this time, I'll hazard a guess that they were Groceries...Tariffs...Russia ... El Salvador...Golf. 

Until next time, try and keep it light. If you are having a hard time keeping it light, I'll end with Boris Johnson's latest escapade in a safari park in Texas. He got pecked by an ostrich. You are very welcome.
