Congratulations, @Bentley.
Now as always, stay safe and happy reading!

Remember Sunshine Powdered Milk? Who here used to eat a spoonful of this back in the day? It doesn't taste as good as condensed milk, Milo, or Akta-Vite, but a spoonful of powdered milk was definitely an occasional illegal treat, or are we just a little strange? 😂

A professor of mathematics sent a fax to his wife. It read:
“Dear Wife:
You must realize that you are 54 years old, and I have certain needs that you can no longer satisfy. I am otherwise happy with you as a wife, and I sincerely hope you will not be hurt or offended to learn that by the time you receive this letter, I will be at the Grand Hotel with my 18-year-old teaching assistant.
Oh, this is gold! We didn’t expect the twist at the end! It’s a little bit rude and crude, so please take this as a warning! But it is hilarious nonetheless. A big thanks to member @Vinylted for sharing this with us. Read the rest of the joke
