First grade class comes in from recess. Teacher asks Alice: “What did you do at recess?” Alice says, “I played in the sand box.” Teacher says “That's good. Go to the blackboard, and if you can write ‘sand' correctly, I'll give you a fresh-baked cookie.” Alice does and gets a cookie. Teacher asks Billy what he did at recess. Billy says, “I played with Alice in sand box.” Teacher says, “Good. If you write ‘Box” correctly on blackboard, I'll give you a fresh baked cookie.” Billy does, and gets a cookie, too. Teacher then asks Mustaffa Abdul Machmoud what he did at recess. He says, “I tried to play with Alice and Billy, but they threw rocks at me.” Teacher says, “They threw rocks at you? That sounds like blatant racial discrimination! If you can go the blackboard and write ‘blatant racial discrimination' I'll give you a cookie.”

Jail Warden Voyeur Falls to Death Wednesday November 10 7:07 AM ET MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - A Mexican jail warden fell to his death while spying on couples during their conjugal visits, crashing down next to a Nicaraguan prisoner and his wife having sex, local media reported on Tuesday. Raul Zarate Diaz, prison warden in Tapachula, on Mexico's southern border with Guatemala, fell 23 feet (7 metres) to his death after tripping on a skylight looking over the conjugal visits section, La Cronica newspaper and InfoRed radio said. The warden had with him binoculars and a pornographic magazine, La Cronica said, citing local law enforcement sources. An official answering the phone at the prison told Reuters on Tuesday that police were investigating but refused to provide further details. The prisoner who was interrupted attempted to start a riot, but the intent was squelched by prison security, the newspaper said. -------------------------------------------------------------
