Stealing or tampering with mail here means the FBI gets involved. Who'd want that ?

Sometimes, while James Allen Darland delivered packages for his postal company, he would also have sex with dogs.

Stray dogs, or the dogs of people he delivered to. He also had sex with sheep, horses, and other dogs, whose owners he contacted over Craigslist. In exchange, he often let the owners of the animals have sex with his own dog, Wiley.

Darland lived in Seattle, Washington, but was tempted down to Phoenix, Arizona, by one particular online ad.

That’s where he ran into Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
Yeah, he's costing us AZ taxpayers millions in legal fees trying to defend himself against profiling and all sorts of other charges against him. But yeah, glad he's cracking down on out of state perverts, it was a real problem here?

Which one was his favourite ? The Collie at number 19 or the Schnauzer five houses further down?

Given that there were only about 20 places on the planet the Brits didn't invade, geography of the British Empire is pretty much geography of everything!!

Ditto on history, though for sure to be pretty 1-sided... In a sort of 'Prince Phillip' way...

Apparently they teach American geography at my grandkids school. I gave each of them a map of the United States with the names of the States all blanked out. They had to write in the name of the State in each blank. One got 49 right, the other 47.

They couldn't locate the UK on the world map though

My soon-to-be-18-year-old son asked me where Rio was yesterday. I nearly killed myself.

I'll let him off for not knowing that reference, but to not know that Rio is in Brazil at 18 is just astoundingly bad. Especially for him, because he is pretty smart in general.

He did manage to deduce it's in South America, then I asked him to name even 3 South American countries. He managed Argentina. I could have named all of them at 8

I know where Rio is. It's on the other side of the I-15 across from the Vegas Strip

Why is my boss wearing a red polo shirt and mint-green trousers in the office today?

Reminds me of this:
