 AND NOW IT'S TIME FOR WEEKEND PUPDATE

WITH YOUR HOST, KODA CANINE.

Hello Everybody!

I’m Koda Canine, and “Journalism is reporting what somebody else doesn't want reported. All else is just public relations.”~~famous author George Orwell.

Our top story:

Someone drilled a hole in the fence surrounding the nudist camp.

Authorities are looking into it.

A new study shows 3/THREE out of 4/FOUR people make up 75% of the world’s population.

When creating home made dog biscuits, be sure to use collie flour.

When looking for news sources, ice cream🍦 will always give you a scoop.

Geez. I'm getting hungry.

And now, a word from our sponsor.

Actual Truth In Advertising!

Now, back to what passes for the news.

Scientists have discovered that if you stand near the ocean🌊, you know what it sounds like to hold a seashell against your ear.

New research has confirmed the four letter words not to use around a woman.

Dust, Iron, Cook, Mend, Bake and Diet.

The only known four letter word not to use around men is Work.

Now it’s time for my editorial.

It is better to be the oldest in the gym than the youngest in the nursing home.

Turning to Sports…

Our local football🏈 team unfortunately cannot serve drinks at Home games this season because they lost the opener.

Meanwhile, here are the current scores.

27-15, 23-35, and in a game just getting underway: 0-3.

And finally: 

If you have a bad habit of running red lights, you need to stop.

Unless you’re driving an emergency vehicle.

On that note♫, take care.

STAY SAFE!

Have a great week and please be back next weekend for more Sunday Funnies.
