Aunt Shows 32-Year Old Nephew How To Work Shower

6/01/2010

CHICKASHA, OK – Arletta Pahl showed her visiting, 32-year old nephew how to work their shower, it was reported Wednesday. After a quiet dinner and a collective viewing of CSI: Miami, nephew Jayson Pahl decided to ‘turn in for the night,’ prompting his aunt’s surprise lesson on how the guest bathroom shower functions. “It can be a little quirky,” Pahl informed her Harvard-graduate nephew. “You have to pull this stopper out to make the shower start.” Added Pahl: “If it doesn’t get hot enough right away, wait a minute and then twist the knob a little further to the left.” Before bidding her nephew goodnight, Pahl also asked if he needed an alarm set for any specific time. “If you use the one beside your bed, make sure to push the switch all the way to the left or it isn’t really set. And you might wanna check the volume because someone may have turned it down.” The younger Pahl reportedly thanked his aunt, slipped into his pajamas, and read an essay by Luis Borges before falling asleep.

We Interrupt Coverage of the High School Hostage Crisis to Bring You a Local Sports Update

4/01/2010

EAGLE, ID – We interrupt our continuing coverage of the hostage situation at Rhobeson High to bring you a local sports update: the Boise State Broncos won tonight’s Tostito’s Fiesta Bowl 17 – 10 after capitalizing on three turnovers by an unbeaten Texas Christian University.  After both teams struggled to get their high-octane offenses into the game, a fake punt and pass play late in the fourth quarter by Kyle Brotzman yielded a 29-yard gain and set up a 2-yard touchdown run by Doug Martin. “A play here, a play there can turn the tide,” said Boise State coach Chris Petersen. “Our hat’s off to TCU. This game could have gone either way. We were fortunate to pull it out.” On the defensive side of the ball, cornerback Brandyn Thompson twice intercepted TCU’s Andy Dalton, returning the first for a 51-yard touchdown. We will return to coverage of the Rhobeson High School hostage crisis in a moment, after hearing from Chris Petersen in the post-game press conference.
