33. Reminds me of the old joke about a man who bought the morning paper from a newsstand every day

Mon Oct 20, 2025, 09:47 AM

Oct 2025

He would glance at the front page, mutter some profanities, then throw the paper away in disgust.

After this went on for several days, the newsboy asked him why he did that.

"Because I'm checking to see if someone has died."

"But sir, obituaries are in the back section of the paper."

The man replied;
"When this sonofabitch dies, it will be on the front page!!!"
