Dallas Morning News - A 15 year old boy was at the center of a Dallas County courtroom drama yesterday when he challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of him. The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with child custody law and regulation requiring that family unity be maintained to the highest degree possible.
The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When the judge then suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy cried and said that they also beat him. After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should have custody of him.
After two recesses to check legal references and confer with the child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the Dallas Cowboys, whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone.

Seven retired Italian Floridian guys were playing poker in the condo clubhouse when Guido lost $500 on a single hand, clutched his chest, and dropped dead at the table.
Showing respect for their fallen comrade, the other six continued playing but standing up.
At the end of the game, Giovanni looked around and asked, "So, who's gonna' tell his wife?"
They cut the cards. Pasquale picked the low card and had to carry the news.
They told him to be discreet, be gentle, don't make a bad situation any worse.
"Discreet?” Pasquale responded, “I'm the most discreet person you'll ever meet. Discretion is my middle name. Leave it to me!"
So, Pasquale went over to the Guido's condo and knocked on the door.
The wife answered through the door and asked what he wanted?
Pasquale declared, "Your husband just lost $500 in a poker game and is afraid to come home."
