Fun Way To Win Concert Tickets
The No Sweat News Quiz!
Today’s No Sweat News Quiz wraps up the week in one nice tidy package and treats one lucky Morning Rat Race listeners to a pair of tickets to see Lynyrd Skynyrd and ZZ Top at the PNC Bank Arts Center next September! The show is September 10th of 2023!
Since this week was a fun “look back” at the best stories from the whole year, I decided that the made up story would be one of my favorites from earlier in the year as well!
Remember, we solicit a random caller at about 7:15 on Friday, December 23rd. That random caller will be read these four stories. Three of the stories were featured on the No Sweat News this week… one of them I made up for a No Sweat News Quiz earlier in the year. Spot the phony and our random caller gets the tickets.
If our random caller screws up, we keep going to the phones until someone has the correct answer!
So… check it out:
Dateline, Minnesota for story number 1. Irony, that’s what the solution to the problem in North Branch, Minnesota is. The problem is that the street sign for 420th Street kept being stolen by pot heads. The solution from the Department of Transportation was to replace the sign post with a telephone pole and put the street sign 30 feet in the air. Ironic because, the 420 street sign is now high. Moral of the story? I still wouldn’t put it past a doper smoker to get that sign.
That’s story number 1, now known as: Get me as high as that sign.
And our second story for today’s No Sweat News Quiz: Dateline, Australia. A Sydney man is suing a local animal shelter after the kitten he adopted turned out to be an endangered Wombat from Tasmania. He thought it looked like a kitten but thought it was weird that it tried to burrow into the litter in the kitty box and that it never meowed, not once. His lawsuit asks for the shop to replace the animal for a real kitten and to deal with the Wombat in an ethical manner. Moral of the story? What do you name a pet Wombat?!
That’s story number 2, now known as: I dunno, that’s a pretty unique and cool pet right there. Can you bring it on the boardwalk?
Our third story for today’s No Sweat News Quiz takes us to: New Jersey. Zyeama Johnson applied for a job at the Jersey City police station; they were looking for a new security guard. But cops didn’t give her the job. Why? Because when they did a simple background check on Ms. Johnson they found that she had multiple warrants out for her arrest. So, instead of a job that pays, she’s getting jail time. Moral of the story? I mean, it’s nice that she’s out looking for employment. But…
That’s story number 3, now known as: She could have applied almost anywhere else and at least gotten an interview.
And our 4th and final story for today’s No Sweat News Quiz – Year In Review: Dateline, South Dakota. Mike Koranda travelled to Colorado where pot is legal. He was able to purchase two pounds of THC butter; some of which he used to bake pot brownies. When his 73 year old mom saw them on the counter she didn’t know and brought them in to her bingo night as a snack. The calls to 911 began at about 8pm – lots of senior citizens acting weird and feeling poisoned at the senior center. Since pot’s not legal in South Dakota Mike’s looking at possession charges. Moral of the story? That’s a hella bingo game right there.
That’s story number 4, now known as: Actually, that crowd takes Bingo very seriously, they could use a bong hit or two to chill them out.
