Saturday morning Confusion! Tired of shopping? (Pun intended! ;>)

 

Canadian cross-border shoppers aren’t just looking for great deals on gifts this holiday season. Many are also looking for cheap tires.

Bob Bignell, chair of the tire price disparity committee of the Tire Dealers Association of Canada, says November and December are the most popular months for Canadians to cross the border for cheap tires.
In some cases, tires cost half as much in the U.S. The average price gap is 32 per cent.
Bignell said Canadians in border towns like Windsor, Sarnia and Niagara Falls in Ontario, as well as in Vancouver, get their tires changed while holiday shopping south of the border.
THAT MEANS A $300- SET OF CANADIAN TIRES COULD BE BOUGHT IN THE STATES FOR $200!
A quick way to save a hundred bucks, kids!

Speaking of Christmas: The 25th annual Downtown St. John’s Christmas Parade is Sunday — and it looks like Santa Claus has a few more helpers this year.
Volunteers have spent countless hours selecting a theme and putting the floats together. Two of this year’s floats are being built by prisoners of Her Majesty’s Penitentiary.
It’s the second time that the penitentiary and the John Howard Society have collaborated on the parade.
Officials have said, however, that they will be checking the floats for any stow-a ways before they leave the prison!

CANBERRA, Australia – “The Wolverine” star Hugh Jackman revealed he has been treated for skin cancer and shared a selfie showing his bandaged nose. “Deb said to get the mark on my nose checked. Boy, was she right!” he wrote on Instagram, referring to his wife, Deborra-Lee Furness. The 45-year-old Oscar-nominated Jackman said he had a basal cell carcinoma, a common form of skin cancer that is rarely fatal.
What a publicity hound this guy is! This type of nose ‘wart’ is very common among northern Europeans.
Just in my family………………………, I’ve had it, my wife had it, and my mother had it, so it’s not like Jackman beat back death, or something!

Oklahoma City Police Capt. Dexter Nelson says a man discovered a Thermos-type container in his lawn Thursday afternoon and brought it to a police briefing station. Nelson says the container was heavy and had tinfoil protruding from the lid, so the man considered it suspicious.
The Oklahoman reports that officers told the man to leave the container outside and the police bomb squad X-rayed the item.
It was only a burrito.

AND FINALLY: DUE TO READERS COMPLAINTS THAT WE DON’T SHOW ENOUGH WANTON, GRATUITOUS SEX……… WE GOT THIS FOR YA!
The worm comes in two sexual forms: male and female-hermaphrodite. The hermaphrodite form has two X chromosomes, and it bears most of the organs of a typical female: ovaries, a uterus and a vulva. During her larval stage, she develops sperm first and then eggs, which are fertilized by the sperm in a structure called the spermatheca before making their way to the uterus. Hermaphrodite worms can produce about 300 offspring on their own, Emmons told LiveScience. [Top 10 Swingers of the Animal Kingdom]
Male worms, meanwhile, have only one X chromosome, and cannot reproduce without mating. So, they seek out lady hermaphrodites for a roll in the proverbial hay.
When a male finds a hermaphrodite, he presses his tail against her to stop her from moving forward. He slides backward along her body, feeling for her vulva with the sensory neurons around his genitals, or cloacal opening. Once he finds her lady bits, he stops backing up and extends hardened structures known as spicules, which he drums against her body, about seven times a second. He stops drumming once he inserts these spicules into the vulca, anchoring himself for the big performance. Finally, sensory neurons inside the spicules trigger ejaculation.
