It's Sunday, so how about a little local humor...

News story running around down here:

NEWS BRIEF:

New Orleans Saints football practice was delayed nearly 2 hours
after a player reported finding an unknown white powdery substance on
the practice field.

New Orleans Police and Federal Investigators were called to
investigate.

Head coach Sean Payton immediately suspended practice while the
investigation was underway.

After a complete analysis, FBI forensic experts determined that
the white substance unknown to the players, was the goal line.

Practice resumed after special agents decided that the team was
unlikely to encounter the substance again.


And another:

A seven-year old boy was at the center of an Orleans Parish courtroom drama yesterday when he challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of him. The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with child custody law and regulation requiring that family unity be maintained to the highest degree possible.

The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When the judge then suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy cried and said that they also beat him. After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should have custody of him.

After two recesses to check legal references and confer with the child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the New Orleans Saints, whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone.
