3. There is a joke about this

Sat Dec 23, 2023, 05:29 PM

Dec 2023

An old guy goes to a Newstand in Manhattan every day, throws down his money for a copy of the Times, looks above the fold, tosses the paper back on the pile.

After about a month the Newstand owner asks he why he buys a paper and just looks at the front page. Old guy tells him, I am looking for an obituary.

Owner tells him the obits aren’t front page.

Old guy responds, “when this Mother Fucking Monster dies it will be front page.”
