Not having a smart phone or tablet next to us and too lazy to walk across the room Wanda and I were left baffled by this statement.
I also have some serious questions about how the Ray Rice video remained unseen for months but that's another story.
No good deed goes unpunished is an idiom.
An idiom is:
An expression whose meaning is not predictable from the usual meanings of its constituent elements, as in kick the bucket or hang one's head, or from the general grammatical rules of a language.
A construction or expression of one language whose parts correspond to elements in another language but whose total structure or meaning is not matched in the same way in the second language.
Different cultures will come up with their own idioms
to express the same idea. Where English speakers might accuse a hypocrite of
being a "pot calling the kettle black," Arabic speakers would observe
that "a camel cannot see its own hump."
Got that?
The idiom no good deed goes unpunished means that life is unfair and people can do or try to
do good things and still end up in a lot of trouble.
A woman should never have sex with a man because she feels sorry for him. She can still end up pregnant.
The class action lawsuit flood gates are open. Law firms are advertising for potential victims of this terrible medical problem.
A study published in Journal of the American Medical Association found
that men who used the erection-enhancing drug Viagra were 84% more
likely to develop melanoma, the most dangerous form of skin cancer, over a
period of 10 years.
That finding makes for an attention-grabbing headline. But
it’s a scientifically correct statement that
could easily be misunderstood to mean “that little blue pill gives you deadly
skin cancer.”
The study does not show that Viagra causes skin cancer. Instead,
it shows that in a large group of men, those who said they used Viagra ended up
being diagnosed more often with melanoma than those who did not use this drug.
The study shows a connection, not a cause. Even if Viagra does promote
melanoma, the absolute increase is small.
However doctors say there is a good chance of skin cancer when exposing an erect penis to direct sunlight for more than five hours a day.
Members of a Michigan church said they were "shocked" to see the face of Jesus on a pierogi during their church festival.
St. Andre Bessette Church Festival Chairman Robert Hellar said he was making tacos at the festival when someone brought him the pierogi emblazoned with "the face of Jesus."
"I was in the taco booth and they came up to me and said 'Jesus love polish food more than Mexican food' and I asked why," Heller said.
He said the proof was in the pierogi.
"I was shocked. I looked at it, and you can definitely see the face of Jesus."
Church officials are conflicted on how to proceed. Some want to keep the Jesus pierogi frozen until they decide what to do with it while others favor an immediate eBay listing.
Elder Jonny Majeewski said, "The image of God in food is very hot now. A few weeks ago a potato chip likeness of the Pontiff sold for $7,246. We can use the money; the church needs a new roof."
According to my caller i.d. Jesus Christ called me form Sacramento the other day. You would think he'd know it would take me a while to answer the phone. The line was dead by the time I answered.
I guess it wasn't important.
City officials in the Austrian capital of Vienna are considering a drive-in brothel with "sex boxes" to get prostitutes off of street corners.
City Councilor Sandra Frauenberger wants the city to consider a model similar to the "sex drive-in" in Zurich, Switzerland, as a means of addressing the complaints of legally-operating prostitutes in Vienna's Floridsdorf neighborhood.
Zurich introduced its first "sex drive-in" in August 2013 to provide a safe place for the city's prostitutes to ply their trade in wooden "sex boxes." They have been in operation just over a year and have proven to be a safe and secure way for the ladies to ply their trade. A local police officer said, "We affectionately refer to them as Jack in the Box."
Prostitutes in Vienna who have been relegated to industrial areas to keep them away from residential neighborhoods, have complained they lack access to bathrooms, transportation and hotels where rooms can be rented by the hour.
She prefers to be called a sex worker not a prostitute. "Sally" said, "We can surely use something like this. Many of the girls would welcome a private place to take care of business. I myself would like them to have something like parking meters so we can charge by the minute."
Frauenberger said she plans to raise the issue at the next steering group meeting on prostitution with police and non-governmental organizations.
One dozen Japanese porn stars raise nearly $25,000 for charity.
Twelve adult film stars gathered in Tokyo for adult channel Sky Perfect TV's "Eroticism Saves the Earth" telethon and lined up with their shirts lifted to allow fans to squeeze their breasts if they made donations to charity.
"I'm really looking forward to lots of people fondling my boobs. I never thought I could contribute to society," actress Rina Serina told the Tokyo Sports newspaper prior to the event.
More than 2,500 fans made donations to the cause, raising about $24,220 for charity.
"That's about ten bucks a squeeze," said organizer Sammy Fly. "Not too bad."
Participant and contributor R.J. Ryerson said at first he wasn't sure if he would go for the double $10 squeeze or the $5 single. "I'm much better with my right hand so I was going to do that but then I thought what the Hell, it's for charity. Squeeze them, donate money -- let's be happy."
Organizers of the "Survival Zombie" roleplaying event in Spain said some 1,300 people took to the streets to act out scenarios in the world of the undead.
The game, designed by World Real Games president Diego de La Concepcion, outfitted each human character on the streets of Collado Villalba with a passport, an identifying handkerchief and fake money to bribe other players who had not yet joined the undead hoards.
The game was scheduled to run from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. but took twice that. Tavern and bar owners have attributed the lower than anticipated cash infusion to the slow pace of the game.
De la Concepcion said "Survival Zombie" and similar roleplaying events can give a boost to the local economy. "That is if we can figure out a way to speed things up and get them off the brains and into fish and chicken."
The group said the next "Survival Zombie" game will be played later this month in Valencia.
A Malaysian thief who admitted to possession of stolen women's undergarments was fined by a magistrate.
M. Nagenthiran, 28, who was originally charged with intrusion, was fined $945 when he admitted to dishonest possession of seven bras, a pair of panties and a T-shirt.
Nagenthiran was arrested outside of his home when police spotted him acting suspiciously around 3 a.m. A search revealed clothing items reported stolen by a 41-year-old woman whose clothesline was found ransacked inside her home's bathroom.
Nagenthiran, who faces jail if he does not pay the fines, asked the court to lower his fees because he needs to take care of his mother and a sister with disabilities.
"I promise not to repeat the offence again. I ask for forgiveness," he said. "The bras and panties I got for them but I admit I did take the T-shirt for myself, I couldn't resist. The mauve looked heavenly."
Is marriage in America boring?
A Mumbai, India court has granted a man a divorce from his wife because he said she had an insatiable appetite for sex.
The husband went to family court saying his wife was "adamant, aggressive and stubborn" and that she would pick fights for no reason.
Also in his petition for divorce, the man said his wife had an "excessive and insatiable" desire for sex and that she used to force him into having unnatural sex.
He also said whenever he tried to resist, she would abuse him. In addition, he also said he feared for his life.
"She had some strange ideas involving large vats of oatmeal and craisins."
The judge in the case allowed the petition and dissolved the man's marriage.
An 18-year-old woman in India married a dog in a bid to rid herself of an "evil spell" identified by village elders.
Mangli Munda, 18 married a stray dog named Sheru in a traditional Hindu ceremony as a means of lifting a curse that village elders said would cause the death of any man she married.
"The village elders told us that we should organize the wedding as soon as we can," said the girl's father. "We had to make sure that the evil spell is destroyed."
Munda said the ceremony was not exactly her dream wedding.
"I am not happy with this marriage," Munda said. "Every girl dreams of marrying a prince."
The family said Sheru might not be Munda's soulmate, but he will now have a place in their home.
The marriage is not legally binding.
Munda is now free to marry a human.
She hopes to find a man who isn't as hairy and doesn't lick his balls in public.
