October 21, 2013 – Monologue Jokes

1. A federal marshal was arrested last week at Nashville International Airport after being caught taking multiple upskirt pictures of female passengers boarding a plane. Either that guy’s a creep or he takes his job very, very seriously.

2. On Saturday, the World Health Organization said that two suspected cases of polio have been detected in Syria, the first appearance of the incurable disease there in 14 years.

3. Toyota is recalling 870,000 vehicles due to an air conditioner blockage caused by spiders that leads to the airbags needlessly deploying. So good news for those Toyota owners whose cars weren’t recalled, the spiders in your vehicles are harmless, enjoy.

7. On Sunday, the commissioner of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement said a tip from a friend of one of the two convicted murderers who were mistakenly released from prison led to their arrests over the weekend. So if they manage to break out again, I think we’ll know where to find them.

8. UK researchers say older women who exercise regularly and don’t smoke may have a substantially lower risk of late-life disability than their less-healthy peers. Proving that we’re not the only country that conducts stupid studies.

9. Pirate attacks off Nigeria’s coast have jumped by a third this year with ships passing through West Africa’s Gulf of Guinea increasingly under threat from gangs wanting to steal cargo. “Well, it’s good to see some pirates are still working in October,” said the city of Pittsburgh.
