Male birth-control breakthrough turns sperm production off and back on

Scientists have developed a method to temporarily halt the production of sperm cells without damaging surrounding tissues, an advance that could lead to a safe, long-acting and reversiblemale contraceptive.

The Independent US

Existing contraceptive methods are mostly female-centred or permanent. Since there are few effectivemale contraceptive optionsthat are reversible, men rely mainly oncondomsandvasectomies.

While vasectomy offers a long-term solution and can be reversed, many men are hesitant to undergo the procedure. This, in large part, is why developing non-hormonal methods that can temporarily halt sperm production is considered the holy grail of contraceptive research.

Now a proof-of-concept study conducted on mice over six years shows that interrupting a natural checkpoint in meiosis, the process responsible for producing sex cells, can temporarily halt sperm production.

Researchers found that JQ1, a small molecule originally developed as a research tool for studying cancer, could interfere with a specific stage of meiosis and stop the formation of sperm cells. They showed for the first time that sperm production could be safely and reversibly stopped by targeting meiosis.

“We are practically the only group that is pushing the idea that contraception targets in the testis are a feasible way to stop sperm production,” geneticist Paula Cohen, an author of the study published in the journalPNAS,said.

“Our study shows that mostly we recover normal meiosis and complete sperm function and, more importantly, that the offspring are completely normal.”

The researchers found that JQ1 disrupted meiosis by eliminating cells in the first stage of cell division and preventing the gene activity needed for later stages of sperm development.

In male mice given JQ1 for three weeks, sperm production stopped completely and critical aspects of meiosis, including chromosome behaviour, were disrupted.

When the treatment was discontinued, recovery followed, and within six weeks sperm production returned to normal levels.

The mice could breed after the treatment was stopped, producing healthy offspring that were also capable of reproduction.

“It shows that we recover complete meiosis, complete sperm function, and more importantly, that the offspring are completely normal,” Dr Cohen said.

In future studies, the researchers hope to develop a new form of male birth control delivered as an injection every three months.

“While acknowledging the need for robust future safety assessments of any candidate drugs,” they said in the journal, “these studies provide a blueprint for developing new contraceptive approaches that act safely and selectively within the germline.”

  • Vanessa from Virginia walked away with $240,150 in cash and prizes after playing Lion's Share.

  • This new record surpasses the last, set in 2010, by more than $30,000.

After more than five decades on the air,The Price Is Rightis still breaking records.

A contestant on Friday's episode of the long-running game show set a new all-time high in winnings from a single pricing game. After several wild rounds of the game Lion's Share, Vanessa from Virginia walked away with $240,150 in cash and prizes— the largest one-game haul a contestant has ever won in the CBS daytime show's 54-year history.

The retired veteran made her mark in a special Mother's Day-themed episode, with her daughter cheering her on from the sidelines.

Lion's Share, an MGM-branded game that premiered last year as a replacement for Pay the Rent, revolves around grocery price guessing.

In the game, each contestant is able to win up to five balls depending on their number of correct guesses. Balls are then dropped into a wind tunnel, which reveal hidden prize amounts. But that's not all: HostDrew Careythen commands contestants to choose between walking away with the dollar value displayed on the screen or risking it all to grow their earnings further.

That's exactly what Vanessa did, and after very little deliberation. Continued correct guesses yielded more prize balls, which revealed more earnings, eventually loading her up with $227,500 in cash. A luxury trip to Morocco valued at $12,650 ultimately brought her total up to $240,150.

Vanessa's win clears the previous record by a wide margin. In 2016, contestant Christen Freeman won $210,000 in the game Cliffhangers, and also walked away with a steam iron, portable heater, and drink mixer.

Vanessa may be the biggest winner when it comes to earnings from a single game, but her $240,150 total is no match for the overall killing that one contestant made in a 2019 episode.

Michael Stouber left the roller coaster ride of an episode with a grand total of $262,743 in cash and prizes. That included $202,000 from a game of Plinko, a nearly $30,000 Showcase win, an equivalent value Nissan Sentra S, a $1,475 diamond bracelet, and more.

600 military personnel now involved in search for missing US soldiers in Morocco

More than 600 military personnel from multiple nations are engaged in an extensive search for two U.S. soldiers who vanished in Morocco during jointU.S.-African militaryexercises.

The Independent US

The operation, now in its fifth day, involves scouring underwater caves and a vast stretch of the Atlantic coast as the African Lion drills draw to a close.

The two U.S. Army members went missing last week near the Cap Draa training area, located outside Tan-Tan, a coastal city in southwestern Morocco.

Authorities believe they were on a recreational hike and may have fallen into the ocean.

The search effort, involving personnel from the U.S., Morocco, and other African Lion participants, has covered more than 17 square miles of coastal and open-ocean areas, a U.S. defense official toldThe Associated Press, speaking anonymously. "Our two soldiers and their families remain our absolute priority," the official stated.

The soldiers were participating in African Lion 26, a U.S.-led exercise launched in April across Morocco, Tunisia, Ghana, and Senegal.

One of the soldiers, who was unable to swim, fell into the ocean around 9 p.m. local time. This prompted the rest of the group to form a human chain using their belts to try to pull them out of the water, but this proved unsuccessful,according to CBS News.

It was at this point the second soldier jumped in to try to save their colleague, only to be hit by a wave. When neither could make it back to shore, a third entered the ocean but could not reach them and had to return for their own safety.

The drills involve more than 7,000 personnel from over 30 nations and are scheduled to conclude on Friday. Since 2004, it has stood as the largest U.S. joint military exercise conducted in Africa.

The Moroccan Navy released video footage on Wednesday showcasing military divers examining caves, aircraft scanning the ocean surface, and teams of uniformed personnel alongside canine crews combing the rocky shoreline.

Several Moroccan military units are actively involved in the search. Two vessels from the maritime training component of the drills, including a Moroccan European multi-mission frigate and a French multipurpose supply vessel, have been reassigned to the operation.

A U.S. logistics vessel continues to support the exercise while also assisting in the search. Aviation equipment deployed includes a U.S. UC-35 Citation jet, a U.S. Army C-12 Huron aircraft, and Moroccan Puma and Super Puma helicopters.

Additionally, several technology vendors involved in the exercise have deployed unmanned aerial systems to aid in surveillance of the search area.

Police arrest man over Morgan McSweeney phone theft

A man has been arrested on suspicion of trying to sellMorgan McSweeney’s phone after it was stolen.

The Independent US

Mr McSweeney,former chief of staff to Sir Keir Starmer, reported thathis government device had been stolenon 20 October last year. The theft became national news amid concerns that key exchanges relating to LordPeter Mandelson’s appointment as British ambassador to the US could be lost as a result of it.

Metropolitan Policesaid they arrested a 28-year-old man on suspicion of handling stolen goods as part of the investigation into the theft of amobile phonein Belgrave Road, Pimlico.

Scotland Yard took the man intopolice custodylast Wednesday and he was later bailed. He is not suspected of involvement in the original theft last year, the force added.

A spokesperson said: “Officers investigating the theft of a mobile phone in Belgrave Road, Pimlico on 20 October 2025 have arrested a 28-year-old man on suspicion of handling stolen goods.

Morgan McSweeney said there was ‘probably not as much’ about the appointment of Lord Mandelson, pictured, on his stolen phone than had already been made available to Downing Street (James Manning/PA) (PA Wire)

“The arrest took place on Wednesday, 29 April at an address in Peckham. The man was taken into police custody and later bailed.

"He is suspected of receiving the phone after it was stolen and then selling it on. He is not suspected of any involvement in the original theft.

“The phone has not been recovered.”

It is believed that messages on the phone could fall within the scope of a call by MPs for the release of all documents relating to Lord Mandelson’s posting to Washington in the wake of revelations about his links to the paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

The former adviser has said he “probably” used disappearing messages on WhatsApp in his exchanges with Lord Mandelson.

Mr McSweeney, who resigned over his part in the scandal in February, told the Foreign Affairs Committee at the end of April about the circumstances surrounding the theft of his Government phone.

“Somebody hopped onto the pavement and took my phone from me,” he claimed. “The first thing I did was to try and retrieve it. I tried to chase, which is probably a mistake. The next thing I did was I phoned No 10, and I would have gone with whatever they told me to do.”

Mr McSweeney said: “I then called 999. If No 10 had told me you need to tell the police or you need to tell the call handler what your job is, I would have done so. But otherwise, I didn’t do that as a matter of course. I didn’t in any part of my job go around saying ‘I’m a very serious and senior person’.”

When he originally called the police, he described his location as Belgrave Street – an address in Stepney, east London, rather than Belgrave Road in Pimlico.

Morgan McSweeney answered questions in front of the Foreign Affairs Committee (PA)

When asked by the committee why he’d given the wrong address, he said: “I was also quite adrenalised. So what happened was, I chased the guy who stole my phone as far as I could.”

He added: “I also said I was in Westminster.

“So I said I was in Belgrave Street, Westminster, where I think I was on… Lower Belgrave Street. So it was some months ago, and I missed the ‘Lower’. I didn’t see it.”

The former No 10 chief of staff said: “I was out of breath, I was completely exhausted, because at 48 years of age you shouldn’t be chasing people down the street, and then I was trying to go back to the original location that it happened, so that I could tell the 999 operator.”

Ted Turner, media tycoon who founded CNN, dies at age 87

How Ted Turner transformed the media you consume 02:59

CBS News

Ted Turner, the media tycoon who founded CNN and led an empire that also included cable channels TBS, TNT and Turner Classic Movies as well as the Atlanta Braves and Atlanta Hawks, died Wednesday, his company Turner Enterprisessaid in a statement. He was 87.

The company said Turner died peacefully surrounded by his family after a long battle with Lewy body dementia, a progressive brain disorder that herevealed he was fightingin 2018. A spokesperson confirmed to CBS News that Turner died in Lamont, Florida, where he owned a vast estate east of the state capital of Tallahassee. CNNfirst reportedTurner's death.

"Ted was an intensely involved and committed leader, intrepid, fearless and always willing to back a hunch and trust his own judgement," CNN Chairman and CEO Mark Thompsonsaid in a statement. "He was and always will be the presiding spirit of CNN. Ted is the giant on whose shoulders we stand, and we will all take a moment today to recognize him and his impact on our lives and the world."

President Trump reacted to Turner's deathon social media, calling him "one of the Greats of Broadcast History, and a friend of mine." In the same post, Mr. Trump also criticized the stewardship of CNN, a frequent target of the president's ire, after Turner sold the news outlet.

Turner was never a man to shy away from a challenge — on land or sea.

He was the skipper who brought theAmerica's Cupyachting trophy back to the U.S. in 1977. He devoted hundreds of thousands of acres of land to save theAmerican bison. He owned the Atlanta Hawks for 19 years and the Atlanta Braves for 20, during which time the Braves won the 1995 World Series. And in 1980, he changed the way we all consumed news with the launch of CNN, the first 24-hour cable news network.

"I'm a lot of different people, if you don't know that by now," Turner told CBS' "60 Minutes" in 1979. "I'm a multifaceted person. I've got a lot of different personalities. You ought to see me at midnight on a full moon."

He was a hard-drinking, cigar-smoking adventurer — with deep pockets.

"I get thousands, millions and billions mixed up," Turner said during a 2008"60 Minutes" interview. He was debating with Morley Safer whether he had lost nearly a million dollars a day or $10 million a day for two and a half years as the largest individual shareholder of AOL Time Warner. (It was the latter.) Then the corporate parent of what had been Turner's empire, the media giant washit hardwhen the dot-com bubble burst in the early 2000s.

Turner was also known for making off-color remarks, earning him numerous nicknames, including the Mouth From The South and Captain Outrageous. He was, for some, as unlikable as he was invincible.

But in 2018, he disclosed to "CBS Sunday Morning" senior contributor Ted Koppel he was fighting Lewy body dementia.

"It's a mild case of what people have as Alzheimer's," Turner told Koppel. "It's similar to that, but not nearly as bad."

Turner married three times, including his decadelong marriage to actor and activistJane Fondafrom 1991 to 2001. In 2012, Turnertold CNNthat Fonda was probably the great love of his life, he hadn't gotten over her and he doubted he ever would.

"When you love somebody, and you really love 'em, you never stop loving 'em," he said.

In a lengthy post onInstagram, Fonda on Wednesday wrote that Turner "swept into my life, a gloriously handsome, deeply romantic, swashbuckling pirate and I've never been the same."

"Ted Turner helped me believe in myself," she wrote. "He gave me confidence. I think I did the same for him, but that's what women are raised to do. Men like Ted aren't supposed to express need and vulnerability. That was Ted's greatest strength, I believe."

Fonda wrote of Turner that he "had a big life, a brilliant mind and a soaring sense of humor," and said he "taught me more than any other person or school classes," praising his business acumen along with both his competitive and loving nature.

"I loved Ted with all my heart," she added. "I see him in heaven now with all the wildlife he helped bring back from extinction ... they're all gathered at the pearly gates applauding and thanking him for saving their species."

Turner's legacy will always be paired with CNN, and yet the gift he seemed most proud of was the natural habitats he saved by buying and protecting more wild acreage than almost anyone in the U.S.

It's tempting to call him a master of his domain, but he'd prefer caretaker. We don't own anything, he said, we just borrow it for a while.

  • Bryan Freedman says that the actor is "feeling pretty good."

  • Baldoni and Lively's representatives previously issued a joint statement saying, "It Ends With Us is a source of pride to all of us who worked to bring it to life."

Justin Baldoni's lawyer says the actor-director is"feeling pretty good"in the wake of the resolution of hishighly publicized legal battleagainst hisIt Ends With UscostarBlake Lively.

"It was a huge victory," attorney Bryan Freedmansaid onTMZ Liveof the recent settlement. "It was an incredible opportunity, and I don't think you pass up an incredible opportunity,"

Entertainment Weeklyhas reached out to Freedman for comment.

Freedman's remarks come after representatives for Baldoni's Wayfarer Studios and for Lively jointly announced that they'dreached a settlementahead of an impending trial.

"The end product — the movieIt Ends With Us— is a source of pride to all of us who worked to bring it to life," the parties said in a statement. "Raising awareness, and making a meaningful impact in the lives of domestic violence survivors — and all survivors — is a goal that we stand behind. We acknowledge the process presented challenges and recognize concerns raised by Ms. Lively deserved to be heard."

They added, "We remain firmly committed to workplaces free of improprieties and unproductive environments. It is our sincere hope that this brings closure and allows all involved to move forward constructively and in peace, including a respectful environment online."

The bitter saga has been in public view for nearly two years. At first, rumors swirled of a feud between Lively and Baldoni as the duo didn't promote their film together, despite Baldoni serving as the director and onscreen love interest to Lively. In December 2024, Livelyfiled a complaintagainst him with the California Civil Rights Department alleging sexual harassment and his coordination of a smear campaign.

In her complaint, Lively alleged that Baldoni engaged in "invasive, unprofessional, and sexually inappropriate behavior” and claimed that he hired a crisis relations firm ahead of the movie's premiere to facilitate a "sophisticated, coordinated, and well-financed retaliation plan" against her. Baldoni's attorney described Lively's allegations as "completely false, outrageous, and intentionally salacious."

Lively would formally sue Baldoni in New York federal court on New Year's Eve. Heresponded by filing a countersuit againstLively and her, husbandRyan Reynolds, in January 2025, demanding $400 million in damages and accusing them of defamation, civil extortion, breach of contract, and other offenses. Baldoni's lawsuit wasthrown out by a judge in June.

Baldoni and Lively were on course for a trial this month that would have focused on her claims of breach of contract, retaliation in violation of the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, and aiding and abetting in retaliation in violation of FEHA. Judge Lewis Liman recentlydismissed 10 of Lively's 13 claims, including allegations of sexual harassment, defamation, and conspiracy against Baldoni.

Freedman argues that Baldoni "technically" never settled a case, rather that he "won" when the judge gave the summary judgment that excluded the aforementioned accusations.

"He could breathe again,"the lawyer saidof his client's reaction. "To be accused of sexual harassment on such a public level is devastating. What he went through, I get emotional speaking about it because he's such a great human being and stands for everything that is good about women and supporting women."

Despite all the offscreen drama,It Ends With Uswas a commercial success, grossing $351 million at the worldwide box office on a reported $25 million budget. The film is based on the novel of the same name by Colleen Hoover. In most circumstances, the film's financial boom would make a sequel a guarantee, but Baldoni and Wayfarer Studios hold the rights to the follow up novel,It Starts With Us.

WATCH: Clint Hurtt pushed Eagles to draft Nigerian prospect Uar Bernard

ThePhiladelphia Eaglesrecently gave fans another peek behind the curtain of draft weekend, and honestly, one moment involving Clint Hurtt and a conversation aboutUar Bernardimmediately jumped off the screen. They're called 'passion meetings'. One Day 3 of every NFL draft, Howie Roseman really digs into who his players and coaches are eyeing. The brain trust is allowed to speak freely in a last-ditch effort to sell someone they're sold on.

USA TODAY

Philadelphia released behind-the-scenes footage from its draft process. Coach Hurtt's pitch for Bernard wasn't flashy. It wasn’t loud, but it was revealing. If you're curious why Bernard was worth investing draft capital in, look no further.

If Eagles fans were wondering how highly the coaching staff viewed the international prospect, the answer suddenly feels much clearer. Hurtt sounded fully convinced, and that should be good enough to sway everyone else.

The Eagles' defensive line coach has certainly found some upside

Bernardisn’t a typical roster addition.The Eagles recently announced that they have already used their International Player Pathway exemption on him, which essentially gives Philadelphia an extra roster spot during training camp and preseason.

Teams don’t typically draft prospects who have never played the game, and if they do, they won't casually use international player protections. They reserve it for players they genuinely believe are worth developing. Hurtt’s comments only reinforced that a belief has been invested in Bernard. The veteran defensive coach didn’t sound like someone discussing a camp body. He sounded like someone outlining traits, upside, and long-term potential, and honestly, that’s what makes clips like this fascinating.

Coach Hurtt's endorsement doesn't guarantee success, of course. Developmental prospects remain exactly that. They're developmental. Still, when respected defensive voices inside the building begin publicly and privately pushing for a player, it usually means something caught their attention long before fans ever learned the name.

Uar Bernard still has a long road ahead before securing a permanent NFL role, but after hearing his position coach explain why the Eagles wanted him so badly, it suddenly feels much easier to understand why Philadelphia appears determined to give him every opportunity to stick around. Buckle up. Things are only going to get more interesting.

Her spritz of choice? A Hugo. "I can't get behind Aperol. To me, it tastes like medicine," she adds.

When it comes to picking out a summer 'fit, Miller is leaving the denim tucked away in her drawer. "If it's hot outside, I typically don't lean towards a jean because I just can't do it if I'm sweating," she says. "I don't like the thought of my thighs and denim sometimes."

Instead, her go-to look involves a flowy linen pant, either with a matching linen top or a classic crop top. "I'm definitely a linen set type of girl. They're so versatile," says Miller. "You can wear them to dinner, you can wear them as coverups, you can dress them up, down—for me, a linen pant is so essential to my summer wardrobe."

Paired with her linen, Miller is saying "yea" to jelly sandals, polka dots, micro bikinis and body glitter. "Last year, I went on an Old Navy deep-dive for their jelly sandals," shares Miller. "They came in red, black, clear and even a blue shade. I bought every single pair."

For Miller, partnering with Old Navy was a no-brainer. "I am an honest fan of Old Navy," she says while wearing one of the brand's sweaters. "There are certain things I love at a certain price point that I feel like you can't beat." When the Old Navy team offered to brief Miller on some of their clothes, she politely declined, adding, "I have at least 10 things that I can talk about, guys."

While Miller was sold on joining the collaboration based on the brand alone, she was even more excited after discovering her scene partner. "They were like, 'Do you want to shoot a commercial withParis Hilton?' and I was like, 'Yes, that's every 5-year-old's dream, at least my 5-year-old dream, you know? I'm a Y2K kid."

Miller bonded with Hilton on set, sharing they would laugh over forgetting their lines. "She's such a sweet person in the way that she shoots," says Miller. "She just wants to make everyone feel comfortable."

Paris's mom,Kathy Hilton, was also involved in the campaign.

Another star featured in Old Navy's summer campaign isTraitorsseason 4 winnerRob Rausch. While he didn't share many days on set with Miller, she's hoping they cross paths in the future—and they just might if the rumor mill runs true.

"I mean, yeah, stack our season!" Miller responds when asked how she would feel if Rausch joined her season ofDancing with the Stars.Miller wants all the best talent on her season and wasn't shy in sharing she wants pro dancerVal Chmerkovskiyas her partner.

A man at work said something out of line and when there was absolutely no reaction from the female employee, he laughed and said, “She didn’t even hear me…”She turned back to him and said, “No, I heard you, but you’re not my teenage son. You’re my coworker. It isn’t my job to correct your ignorance, it was your mother’s, and apparently she failed you.”.

I wasn’t a sleep or anything but a few minutes later prof calls my name and says “stop falling asleep” and I jolt back up.The next class, she asks us “what makes a good quality course”. People were giving answers and I decided the put my hand up. She calls on me and I say “It won’t make you fall asleep”. It took a second but the whole class just erupts laughing. Then she ended up laughing too and says “I deserved that”.

Worked a security job with my father.  A “gentleman” who definitely did not belong in the restricted area wanted to get past our security check point.  When we denied him entrance, he got pissed and asked/yelled, “do you know who I am?!?!”Without missing a beat and with an Oscar worthy performance of “concerned bystander”, my father says, “why?  Have you forgotten?  Would you like me to call an ambulance?”I followed my father’s lead and played it straight faced but I really struggled to hold in my laughter!

Melt down!?!

I was the youngest of 3 girls, and my older sisters teased me relentlessly. When I got my first period, my oldest sister said she was going to put up a sign on the corner that said “opkc got her period this month!” I said “That’s fine, I’ll put up a sign next to it that says Sister didn’t get her period this month.”.

This will get buried, but there was a famous court case in which Wlliam F Buckley was called as an expert witness for a court case. Upon cross-examination, the rival lawyer waved a dictionary in the air, saying "have you ever even read a dictionary, sir!?"To which Buckley replied, accurately, that he had written the foreword to the very dictionary the lawyer was holding.

Journalist: What do you think of Western civilization?Gandhi: I think it would be a good idea.

At work. The Stones song "Beast of Burden" is playing overhead. My female coworker is singing along with the "pretty pretty girls" part, and she says "Pretty pretty girls...hey did you guys know, this song's about me?"Instantly my buddy Mike: "Which one are you, a beast or a burden?".

Me and my husband had been messing around telling "that's what she said" jokes and our 11 year old came on the room and asked why we were laughing so much. I told her that it was nothing, just an adult joke, and she replied "you're an adult joke", ngl it still hurts 4 years later.

Comedian said to me ( front row) “you’re pretty funny aren’t you mate” I replied “I figured one of us should be”.

I had one that I was proud of 20-some years later.One time at the beach some young women walked by us in bikinis and my wife said "I'll never look like that again". To which I replied "neither will they".

When I was young at a club -1988, I asked a girl if she wanted to dance. She said “I don’t want to dance with you!”I said, “Why are you being so choosy, I’m not.” And I walked away.She followed me back to my table and asked if I would dance with her now.

My oldest son, when he was about 6 years old. I had made some sort of dad joke and followed it up with “I’m embarrassing you, aren’t I?”That witty little guy responded “no, you’re embarrassing yourself”.He’s 14 now and I still haven’t recovered, haha.

One of my dad's friends was a legendary wit and this story was told at his funeral.John was telling a drunken tale at a grownup party that involved him saying something like "...and then we snuck away to..."His wife, for some reason, interrupted his story for a quick grammar correction, "It's not 'snuck', John, it's 'sneaked'.Without missing a beat John said, "Well, I'll be feaked."Everyone cracked up. Not a bad way to be remembered!

On the NYC subway a guy with bad BO pushed through the crowded car holding up a sign saying “Jesus is Coming”. As his smelly underarm passed inches away from a lady’s face she yelled out “Is he bringing SOAP???”.

I pulled up to the local bar after buying a new car and a guy said "must be nice having daddy's money" and I responded "it is, but please stop calling me daddy.".

Was in fifth grade and the class was lining up to head to the cafeteria for lunch. The boy in front of me turned around to face me, stared for a couple seconds, then sneered and asked why I was growing a mustache if I was a girl. I am proud of myself to this day for not missing a beat before asking him why he couldn't grow one if he was a boy.

When I was about to have my first child, one of my buddies made a joke that I look like the type of guy to kiss my kids on the lips.I said "...and you look like the type of guy to kiss my kids on the lips."He recently went no beard, just a mustache, so it landed well.

Overheard a comment in a bar between people I worked with."Well that's the first time I've ever been insulted by a Welshman""Really? You should get out more".

Excuse me for talking while you’re interrupting.

Cycling to school with my friend once aged about 11 or 12 we passed three girls, all about the same age, trying to embarrass another of the girls one shouted to my friend, "she fancies you" to which quick as a flash he replied "I don't blame her".he's a millionaire now.

My husband was in the closet, checking for suspected bugs, he found some very tiny onesHim: "I think they could be mites, but I'm not sure"Me: "So they're maybies, then"He didn't find it as funny as I did.

I'm a bus driver, and one of our drivers has a heavy german accent. One day, a hispanic child missed their stop, but the driver couldn't speak the language. She called dispatch and asked for help, saying the little girl couldn't speak English.The dispatcher replied: "Well, you have that in common.".

My wife was on her moontimes. She bled a lot on the bed. I said "Whoa! That's one big period." She replied instantly "More like an exclamation point.".

A cop pulls over a woman and is giving her a ticket, and she says, "I thought cops didn't give hot women tickets?" His response was. "We don't," and handed her a ticket.

Unfortunately, heard: I wish I could buy what you know and sell what you think you know.

My first name begins with a J, so for this exercise my name is John. I was hiking with my young kids in the woods, and one of them said they couldn't keep their left and right straight at trail junctions without overly thinking about it. "It's simple," I said, stretching my hands out in front of me. "Make an L with your left thumb and index finger, and that L stands for left. Now take your other hand and make a J. Well, J stands for John, and John is always right.".

My stepdad is a jerk, a snide one whose face looks like he’s always sucking on a sour toenail. At the time I was studying radio broadcasting and wanted to be a radio host/DJ. I joked about how at least I’d be getting paid for talking since I do it a lot anyway.He snarkily said “yeah haha I didn’t know how to tell you nicely.”I responded with “don’t be silly, you’d never say it nicely.”Felt pretty good. As a kid he was the type to always point out something that was wrong, never gave positive reinforcement. Especially sucked since I had undiagnosed adhd.

My 11 year old daughter was being sassy with me and I replied jokingly “I will not stand for this!”, and without missing a beat she replied “then sit down”.

I might be drunk but I will be sober in the morning, and you will still be ugly.

Tennisser Vitas Gerulaitis was defeated by Jimmy Connors 16 consecutive times.After he finally beat Connors he said:"And let that be a lesson to you all. Nobody beats Vitas Gerulaitis 17 times in a row!".

Well, I called my 5 year old nephew a dorito because he was in an orange shirt today. His response was that I looked like a plain bagel because of my skin color... So, I'd say for his age that was pretty good.
