RUTHFULLY YOURS

FROM MOUNTAIN MAN NEWS- NO URLS

Thank God for California. The State keeps the rest of us honest and also prevents the U.S. from having an inflated IQ. It is the place where the answer to any political, social, economic or skin problem requires a proposition. It has gotten to the point that many Californians are confused about whether a proposition is what one makes in order to avoid using ecstasy or a state referendum. Now grammar is another story. Prepositions are what one does before situating one’s body for sex.

The latest news from California is that Palomino State University will be offering an alternative to the stodgy, useless courses in English. Instead they will require students to take “Texting English.” Before the students are placed, however, they will have to answer the following questionnaire:

F u r 2 domb 2 not no wot ths meens dnt nsur. F u do, put n x belo.

Students who do not answer the question will be placed in Freshman Texting English. Students who sign it with their x, will automatically become juniors. Upon completion of the course, all will become eligible to serve as professors at the University. After 1 year of teaching, they will automatically become university administrators.

ISRAEL’S MEDICAL ACHIEVEMENTS

Israel’s first small intestine transplant. Surgeons at Israel’s Rabin Medical Center-Beilinson Campus in Petah Tikva have performed the first-ever successful transplant in Israel of a small intestine. The patient was a 39-year-old woman who had been fed through a vein since her own intestine was removed two years ago. The donor was an 11-year-old Israeli girl whose other organs saved four children.
