Conspiracies are facts and facts are conspiracies

This is Murray McMurrington reporting with channel 7 DUH out of Little Rock, Arkansas. Earlier today, I was informed of an unconscious man lying where I stand right now, and I asked a number of witnesses about what had happened. Here's what they told me:

"He was looking down at his phone and ran right into this street pole over here." - Gilbert Gosuck

"He just walked right into them poles right there." - Joe Jo

"You see that here pole over there? He walked right into it, you see. I know, because I seen it for myself." - John Jacobs

"What they said." - Justin Juice

"Ditto here." - Patrick Suave

Now, I should also report that one of our witnesses, Mr. Gosuck, received a call from his cousin Billy, who said all of our witnesses were wrong. Mr. Gosuck then handed me his phone, where Billy relayed to me this story:

"You see what happened was some dude named Mahmoud Abdul Abu Dhabi Sauce bought a drone from Walmart Al Jazeera in Pacmanistan or whatever, and then dropped a firecracker on this guy's head with it, with a note attached to it that read, 'You da bomb, bro,' because, you know, ISIS."

While there was no note, no drone, and no firecracker present, I decided to inquire a few Trump supporters on what they felt the true story was. Here's how our back and forth went:

Five eyewitnesses have told me that the unconscious man became that way due to him walking into a street pole while he was looking at his phone. A cousin of one of the witnesses, however, who wasn't here to see the events unfold, called an eyewitness and said that the man became unconscious due to an ISIS member buying a drone at a Walmart Al Jazeera in Pacmanistan, flying it here, and using it to drop a firecracker on this man's head. Which version of the story do you believe and why?

"Hey, you can't never trust that ISIS! They're behind everything, even when they're not!" - Sean Spammity

"The second deal! I mean, who are these eyewitness thingies anyway? It's not like they ever seen nothin' or nothin', right?" - William O'Lielly

"I'm not racist, but I don't like Muslims. Them are scary and sh*t!" - Louie Brainfart

"It's like my alcoholic dad once told me, 'If you unconscious, you ISIS.' I think that's what he said. I honestly don't remember, but it sounds good, don't it?" - Vladimir Sputnik

"The firecracker was yuge, so yuge you couldn't see it, so yuge it could be called bigly yuge big league, believe me! - Ronald Chump

It should be noted that ISIS has not claimed responsibility for this event; the once unconscious man, upon waking, blamed it all on his addiction to Candy Crush; and the Trump supporters I spoke to still believe this was the doing of one Mahmoud Abdul Abu Dhabi Sauce. This has been Murray McMurrington reporting to you with channel 7 DUH. Back to you Dick and Donald.

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

The difference between "looking" and "checking out"

I may be way off with these numbers, but it's my approximation that at least 75% of individuals whom are involved in a serious relationship feel it's perfectly acceptable to "check out" members of the opposite sex they're not involved with. Meanwhile, approximately 25% either don't feel this is acceptable or aren't sure about the matter. I hadn't thought about this matter for a while, but since I've been dating a woman for about 8 months, the topic has been pondered about some. When reading or hearing others discuss this very issue, I often times hear comments similar to the following: "It's human nature to look." "There's nothing wrong with checking others out. I'm sure he/she does it too!" "It's fine to do it. Just don't tell your boyfriend/girlfriend about it or do it in front of them!" "It's natural to find people attractive." When observing the array of comments, I i...
