- "A wise old owl once sat in an oak. The more he saw the less he spoke. The less he spoke the more he heard. Why can't we all be like that old bird."

- "The American space agency has rolled out its new giant Moon rocket for the first time.The vehicle, known as the Space Launch System (SLS), was taken to Pad 39B at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida to conduct a dummy countdown.If that goes well, the rocket will be declared ready for a mission in which it will send an uncrewed test capsule around the Moon."

- "Critical racist theory" Obviously the political correctnesss word is: "race".
- "Boys who will be boys go on to play on their school's varsity football team and then as adults become suburban lawn mowers". Come Monday morning, do they commute to an office or stay in the garage?
