![]() Eventually all the officials and police were arrested in the “Bubba Bust” the largest case of City-wide corruption in Keys history. Smith and Dorley never got the liquor license, and they lost the lease. During this whole threatening and scary time the cops shot and killed Smith’s dog who was the watchdog on the property at night when they were closed. Police and detectives went to jail and the City Attorney was indicted and took off in his sailboat and wasn’t seen for years. |

[Friday Joke] A woman has twins and gives them up for adoption. One of them goes to a family in Egypt and is named Amal. The other goes to a family in Spain. They name him Juan. Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself to his birth mother. Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that she wishes she also had a picture of Amal. He responds, “They’re twins! If you’ve seen Juan, you’ve seen Amal.” |
![]() [Jamaica Christmas Tree] I got this Christmas tree from Jamaica. It’s recommended by the Bob Marley institute for World Peace. It is very environmentally friendly and can be smoked after use. |
[“The ROGO clock keeps ticking to expiration”] I think everybody knows why the junta is culling the Keys, to get the land for high end resort development with some Keys for resort workers. When I get too old to pay the blackmail taxes to live here, I’m selling out to Hattians or some other needy group. |

[Monroe County BOCC Meeting] Hurricane evacuations, administrative relief (payments to landowners), developers vying for rights to construct our precious lands, easements, affordable housing, takings, etc. I watched the whole meeting. Two individuals, Mayor Holly Raschein and Commissioner Craig Cates seemed to be the best and brightest. |

Religion has convinced people that there’s an invisible man — living in the sky. Who watches everything you do every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a list of ten specific things he doesn’t want you to do. And if you do any of these things, he will send you to a special place, of burning and fire and smoke and torture and anguish for you to live forever, and suffer, and suffer, and burn, and scream, until the end of time. But he loves you. He loves you. He loves you and he needs money. ~George Carlin |

Have you stopped buying from Temu? Is there a way to do it safely? I’ve found something I’ve been looking for, but I’m wary of using my credit card for a Chinese company. |
![]() Saint-Louis-du-Ha! Ha!, Québec is the only town in the world with two exclamation points in its name. Twice as many as a village in southwestern England called Westward Ho! |
A great man once said, “If you ever lose your sense of humor, look in the mirror!” |
![]() Monroe County official to Stillwright Point residents in Key Largo, wants them to sign a “flowage easement”, so County can’t be sued by raising the roads, which in turn will make the flooding of homeowners worse. Is this a legal term for Fleet enema? |
[Religious Hysteria 1519] The few Conquistadores stood firm, and with the aid of the firearms and the blessed Virgin, who was distinctly seen hovering over their ranks in the van, they made good the field against the enemy. It cost them dear, however, since seven or eight Christians were slain. |
![]() Morning temperature in Australia on December 13, 2023. It’s their summer. |

![]() I asked a very basic question, “Where can I get jars of jalapeños?” The first associate looks at me like I had three heads, “No comprendo”. Second one says, “They’re in the vegetable dept.” Third says, “Don’t know, ask somebody else.” Finally going up and down each aisle I found what I was looking for. Absolutely useless help. Gosh, I’m glad these people aren’t in the military protecting us. |

[Friday Joke] The world’s leading expert on European wasps walks into a record shop and asks the assistant “Do you have ‘European Vespidae Acoustics Volume 2? I believe it was released this week.” “Certainly,” replies the assistant. “Would you like to listen before you buy it?” “That would be wonderful,” says the expert, and puts on a pair of headphones. He listens for a few moments and says to the assistant, “I’m terribly sorry, but I am the world’s leading expert on European wasps and this is not accurate at all. I don’t recognize any of those sounds. Are you sure this is the correct recording?” The assistant checks the turntable, and replies that it is indeed European Vespidae Acoustics Volume 2. The assistant apologizes and lifts the needle onto the next track. Again the expert listens for a few moments and then says to the assistant, “No, this just can’t be right! I’ve been an expert in this field for 43 years and I still don’t recognize any of these sounds.” The assistant apologizes again and lifts the needle to the next track. The expert throws off the headphones as soon as it starts playing and is fuming with rage. “This is outrageous false advertising! I am the world’s leading expert on European wasps and no European wasp has ever made a sound like the ones on this record!” The manager of the shop overhears the commotion and walks over. “What seems to be the problem, sir?” “This is an outrage! I am the world’s leading expert on European wasps. Nobody knows more about them than I do. There is no way in hell that the sounds on that record were made by European wasps!” The manager glances down and notices the problem instantly. “I’m terribly sorry, sir. It appears we’ve been playing you the bee side.” (Editor: Groan… this is why we limit jokes to Friday) |
