#12: Jesus of New Jersey

Fittingly at Easter, New Jersey’s Brian McDowell having been caught on video asking sexual favours of a friend blames it all on being like Jesus.

#11: The Drunken Love Peculiarity

Francis’ love for Ogechi stays strong even after thirteen years and a ménage à trois of sorts. The proof of his passion being drunken beatings.

#9: The Fact-Fiction Coalescence

Truth, Mark Twain said, is stranger than fiction. For Ernest and Heather Franklin of Guilford, fiction may have inspired truth, a little bit too much.

#7 – The Pain Realisation

Heather Lanier reflects on motherhood and the life altering changes a child with a disability brings.

Super babies don’t cry; wrestling pain makes us human.

#6: The Yawn – Intelligence Equivalency

#5 – The Yari Conjecture

#4 – The Red Rum Fortuity

 

A man who rarely bets, Forty-three years, and a winning bet on Red Rum, all in the week before the Grand National returns. Fortuitous.

#3 – A Matter of Interpretation

Though Mo and P both pilfered stuff,
their ends could not be more diverse.
For his hard work he earned six strokes,
For hers, apologies.

#2 – The Chima Conundrum

For feisty bouts betwixt the sheets,
Chima repays disdain.
His heart, once broken by a buxom belle
Still aches in pain for her delights.

—
For Chima the six who wants a ten.
