What a Braulio

THE BRAZIL Health Ministry cun-
celled a TV AIDS-education ad cam-
paign because of complaints from at
least 18 men named “Braulio”.

In the ads, an unnamed man is
conversing with his penis, whose
name is Braulic, about the pros and
cons of indiscriminate, condomless
sex. In preparing the canipaign, the
Health Ministry had commissioned a
poll that revealed that Braulio was
one of men’s tep five names for
penises.

Riverside, Ohio — Kim Perisie
has been sentenced to five years in
prison for hiring a hit-man to kill her
husband in order to get his $3.1 mil-
lion in lottery winnings.

Nonetheless, Stephen  Perisie
wants the couple to stay together.
“You don't wash 22 years under the
bridge,” he said. “Love is a state of
insanity anyway.” (Stephen said his
main complaint was that Kim had
offered only $500 to the hit man.)
