Hey! It’s Tuesday in America, and here are five jokes!
Donate to the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund, The Carter Center, and/or Alliance for Middle East Peace.
Y’all hear about this?..
A federal judge ordered Martin Shkreli to turn over all copies of the unreleased Wu-Tang Clan album. Rest assured, he will be heavily fined if the “copies” he returns are actually Shreli’s own a cappella renditions of the songs from memory.
America’s teachers are burning out, as the share of those who say the stress and disappointment of the job are “worth it” falls. As an unlikely result: More and more schools are wheeling in TV screens in a suit and introducing students to their new teacher, Mr. Bill Nye The Science guy.
The Gallagher brothers are reviving Oasis, seemingly ending their decades-long feud — most likely after realizing money is thicker than blood.
To avoid temptation, Hong Kong tells teenagers: Play badminton. And should go well… unless Megan The Stallion thwarts Chinese censors yet again with a music video that puts the ratchet in racquet sports.

The event, of course, has caused friction between the bomb and drug sniffing dogs of the airport, who say the Wagging Tail Brigade finally has crossed the thin blue line.
