IT MUST BE TRUE…

I read it in the tabloids

Big Man Stevo, a Kenyan YouTube star, plans to take advantage of the country’s polygamy laws by marrying three women: identical triplets Cate, Eve and Mary. The sisters insist the four-way relationship is jealousy-free, because they’re with Stevo on the condition that he loves them all equally. “Satisfying three ladies” isn’t a “big deal”, Stevo says, but it does require timetabling. “Every Monday Mary, Tuesday Cate and Eve Wednesday. Then on the weekend we meet all of us and have a good time.”

Candles play an important role in Orthodox Easter, which was celebrated last weekend. This year, novelty Covid candles were a big hit. “The Covid-test candle is definitely our bestseller,” said Giorgos Souliotis, a shopkeeper from Athens. His outlet also stocked candles shaped like vaccine syringes, hand sanitiser bottles and the spiky form of the virus itself. “People like to make light of something that has affected us all so badly,” he said.

A woman had to be rescued by firefighters at a beauty spot in Washington State, US, last week, after falling into a public toilet.The woman dropped her phone into the vault – a container buried in the ground that stores the excrement. In order to get it back, she took apart the toilet and lowered herself down, using a dog lead, then tried to grab the phone. “In she went,” explainedTim Manly, the head of the local fire department. Luckily, she was reunited with her phone and was able to call the fire service. She was uninjured, and refused medical assistance, explaining that she “only wanted to leave”.
