I’d Like To Invite You to the Pants Party. Man, Steven Lee Noble was really not having a great day. But it was during his jail processing that he really opened up about it. He offered up his pants, adding, “I’m tired of life. This sucks.” He continued to try to divest himself of his pants to the point that he had to be physically restrained from doing so.

I’ll Take the Souper Salad. That’s the punchline to the clean version of my favorite dirty joke. But it’s also (according to video feed I saw on WFAA) part of what first lady Michelle Obama ate when she went all the way to Fort Worth to eat at Olive Garden, where there are apparently a short supply of locally-owned restaurants.  She was there to talk about healthy eating and living, so let’s not talk about the daily percentage of fat and sodium one serving of OG salad contains, m’kay?

Speaking of Restaurants … County health officials are investigating a case of hepatitis A at a Mexican restaurant in southeast Dallas. You know what one of the ways to spread Hep A is? Fecal/oral route. Wanna know how I know that?

There may have been an illustration, as well.
