#4 Jewel came from Homer, Alaska, about 100 miles S of Anchorage. She rose to stardom with her pop hits. There was going to be a big New Years wingding concert in Anchorage, featuring her, but they priced tickets at $100 each or so, and every said Foxtrot India, so sales were, ahem, slow. Jewel cancelled out and everyone was pi**ed.

#6 The team had already visited the spots of bomb blasts twice in Gazipur where two suicide bomb attacks occurred on November 29 and December 1 that killed 10 people including lawyers and inflicted injuries to over 90 persons.

I don't know whether to take this as a wish that all 10 would've been lawyers, or that you have to specifically state that lawyers are "persons." Both are equally humorous.

#7 Jewel came from Homer, Alaska, about 100 miles S of Anchorage

Folks in Homer think folks who live out of a car in San Diego are rich.
