The Saturday Night Joke

It’s an oldie but always funny



An old man was sitting on a bench in the mall when a young man with spiked hair came over and sat down beside him. The boy's hair was yellow, green, orange, and purple. He had black makeup around his eyes. The old man just stared at him.

Finally the boy said, "what's the matter, old man, haven't you ever done anything wild in your life?"

The old man thought for a while and answered, "well yes, actually, I have, I once got drunk and fucked a parrot. I was just wondering if you were my son."

Do you know what I enjoy about Lake Superior? No sharks!

SHOCKING footage shows a beachgoer wrestling with a shark as he grabs it by the tail and drags it back into the sea.

The shark was accidentally hooked on a fishing rod and pulled out of the water in New Jersey, US.

UPDATE, 2:48 p.m.: WYDOT Director Darin Westby called Teton Pass "a lifeline" in a statement he posted on the agency's social media channels. He assured residents that agency employees remain on site "decisively engaged on fixing the road and restoring connectivity to the Teton Valley.”

UPDATE, 2:40 p.m.: St. John's Hospital has assembled a team to consider the impacts an extended Teton Pass closure will have on its staff. No changes to services or hours are expected at this time.

UPDATE, 11:58 a.m.: Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon met with state officials this morning from the Wyoming Department of Transportation and Wyoming Office of Homeland Security "to coordinate a response to the catastrophic landslide that has closed Teton Pass."

There is no math on The ONT. But we do have science lessons. Every thing you wanted to know about cicadas STDs. But, were afraid to ask.

The two species have been found with the viral STD, called Massospora cicadina, in southern parts of Illinois.

Brood XIII cicadas are mostly in Illinois, Iowa, and Wisconsin, while Brood XIX is found south and east from there.

The fungal infection targets only the 13-17-year periodical cicadas.

It invades male cicadas and causes their gonads to be ripped from their bodies

The following story: Moar science!

Mom didn’t know she was pregnant and gave birth at Golden Corral. See the baby’s fitting name
Tayvia Woodfork went to the all-you-can-eat buffet chain for lunch. She left with a baby boy.

Why Didn’t They Just Bomb the Beaches of Normandy Before Carrying Out the D-Day Landing?">Smart Military Blog material?

When we delve into the strategic and operational decisions surrounding the D-Day landings, the question of why the beaches of Normandy were not bombarded more effectively prior to the invasion becomes more complex. The reality is, the Allies did indeed launch an extensive bombardment campaign, but several factors influenced its perceived effectiveness.

Four Survival Myths That Could Get You Killed
Our expert weighs in on some misconceptions about how to live through real-life survival scenarios

Spend enough time in the outdoors, and you’re bound to wonder how you would handle a true survival scenario. Could you gather and forage enough food? Could you build a strong survival shelter to keep you warm and dry? Could you start a fire…in the pouring rain? These are the skills of a total outdoorsperson. But there are nearly as many survival myths out there as there are skills—and some of those myths could lead to disaster if and when the you-know-what hits the fan. Here are four of those myths, and what you can learn from them to help prepare you for whatever the wild throws your way

Criminal mischief my ass. That and a Genius Award.


A kilt-wearing Texas man today pleaded guilty to taking merchandise from antique stores and shoving the items up his rectum before returning them to display shelves.

Mitchell Vest, 60, copped to criminal mischief in connection with vile incidents earlier this year at shops in Spring, a Houston suburb.

As part of a plea deal, the 6’6”, 250-pound Vest was sentenced in Harris County Criminal Court to 12 months probation. Since Vest is a first-time offender, if he successfully completes the probationary term, the misdemeanor conviction could be wiped from his record.

It is the weekend. And I really do attempt to make the Saturday ONT free of politics and serious current events. However, tonight we have a Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day.

CHOPPER ESCAPE Watch moment Israeli commandos bundle rescued Noa Argamani into chopper after daylight raid on Gaza to free 4 hostages
Officers from an elite police counter-terrorism unit along with Shin Bet agents raided two buildings in the heart of central Gaza.

THIS is the startling moment Israeli commandos bundle a rescued Noa Argamani into a chopper following a daylight raid on Gaza to free four hostages.

Footage released by the IDF, shows the 25-year-old Israeli scramble into the helicopter wearing a bullet-proof vest and a helmet.
