Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away, when the country's highest circulating English newspaper page 1 had this staring at Desi at
the breakfast table (hope my copy is not diferent from yours!):
Plot to oust mayor
KUALA LUMPUR: Sex and graft. These are the two powerful weapons used by conspirators to topple the Mayor.
City police said the plotters included several senior officials of Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL).
Yesterday, police arrested three men, including a DBKL department director and assistant director, in connection with the publication and distribution of the book Skandal Seks & Rasuah Ruslin.
They also confiscated 702 books, manuscript and printing materials.
THE CHALLENGIA:
As Desiderata is on the run, you need to tell me after reading the rest of the story if there is an "A" Star Howler somewhere...
DEADLINE: by 2300hours today before Desi comes back with a closing answer just after 2400hours satIREday.
PRIZE: A platefool of flied lice with clickets from Sweets' OzLand -- for the most satirical RAT-tionale, no mousey-one no-can!
PS: A journalist on the run can sometimes be guilty of typing wrongly, like today being typed as satIREday ... hence the contents must follow accordion(g)ly, as in musically:
Take the best medicine of all for what ails you -- laughter:
"A person without a sense of humor is like a wagon
without springs--jolted by every pebble in the road."
~Henry Ward Beecher
"Laughter is a tranquilizer with no side effects."
--Arnold Glasow
"Laughter is by definition healthy."
--Doris Lessing
"If somebody makes me laugh, I'm his slave for life." --Bette Midler
"The human race has one really effective weapon,
and that is laughter." --Mark Twain
"What soap is to the body, laughter is to the soul."-- Yiddish Proverb
"Laughter is an instant vacation."-- Milton Berle
"Laughter is the shortest distance between two people."-- Victor Borge
PPS: FYI of I.Cowws, A* HOWLER is a mistake in English that makes someone's voice box hit the roof after a lembu steps on SV's foot!(c) desid*ERRATA*
