Female mayor punches sheriff in the face

A Philippine mayor repeatedly punched a court officer in the face on Friday after he refused to delay the demolition of homes in her jurisdiction.

Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte grew angry when the sheriff, Abe Andres, told her he was proceeding with an order to destroy 500 shanty dwellings that were erected in the wake of flash flooding.

Duterte asked Andres to delay the demolition for two hours to allow her to travel from the courthouse to the shanty town and mediate tensions between squatters and police, but the sheriff refused.

Footage broadcast by Filipino TV shows Duterte gesturing to Andres to come closer before punching him repeatedly in the face. The officer was taken to a local hospital with minor injuries. When asked if she was sorry for attacking Andres, the mayor said, "I was the one who sent him to the hospital. I think that's sorry enough."

Body found in public pool 2 days after victim drowned: MyFoxBOSTON.com

A local grandmother says her 9-year-old grandson warned lifeguards about the woman who drowned in a Fall River pool this week, and that they did nothing to help.

Marie Joseph, 36, drowned in the deep end of a public pool on Sunday, but her body was not discovered until Tuesday because of murky water conditions.

The boy's grandmother says her grandson was on the water slide with Joseph when he saw her go under. She says he told lifeguards "someone is drowning."

Joseph, whose death was ruled accidential, left behind five children. Funeral arrangements have not been announced, but a memorial was set up by the pool where she died.

Toddler used as weapon on Toronto streetcar

Police have identified a woman who they say used her three-year-old daughter to hit a passenger on a Toronto Transit Commission streetcar.

The incident occurred on Friday at around 5 p.m. on a streetcar travelling along Dundas Street east near Broadview Avenue.

"She gets into an altercation with a [woman] on the streetcar and then she uses her child and takes her child and starts hitting the woman with her child," said Toronto police Const. Tony Vella.

The woman then pulled the hair of another passenger who tried to intervene, police said. The woman got off the streetcar at Broadview Avenue with the child and walked away.

Police believe the child was not hurt. But they are concerned for the little girl's well-being.

Police have identified the mother but are not releasing her name until they speak with the woman. So far, no charges have been laid.

JOKE: The Facelift

A woman decides to have a facelift for her 50th birthday. She spends $15,000 and feels pretty good about the results.

On her way home, she stops at a news stand to buy a newspaper. Before leaving, she says to the clerk, 'I hope you don't mind my asking, but how old do you think I am.

'About 32,' is the reply.'

'Nope! I'm exactly 50,' the woman says happily.

A little while later she goes into McDonald's and asks the counter girl the very same question.

The girl replies, 'I'd guess about 29.' The woman replies with a big smile, 'Nope, I'm 50.'

Now she's feeling really good about herself. She stops in a drug store on her way down the street. She goes up to the counter to get some mints and asks the clerk this burning question.

The clerk responds, 'Oh, I'd say 30.'

Again she proudly responds, 'I'm 50, but thank you!'

While waiting for the bus to go home, she asks an old man waiting next to her the same question.

He replies, 'Lady, I'm 78 and my eyesight is going. Although, when I was young there was a sure-fire way to tell how old a woman was. It sounds very forward, but it requires you to let me put my hands under your bra. Then, and only then I can tell you EXACTLY how old you are.'

They wait in silence on the empty street until her curiosity gets the best of her. She finally blurts out, 'What the hell, go ahead.'

He slips both of his hands under her blouse and begins to feel around very slowly and carefully. He bounces and weighs each breast and he gently pinches each nipple. He pushes her breasts together and rubs them against each other.

After a couple of minutes of this, she says, 'Okay, okay.....How old am I?'

He completes one last squeeze of her breasts, removes his hands, and says, 'Madam, you are 50.'

Stunned and amazed, the woman says, 'That was incredible, how could you tell?'

The old man says, 'Promise you won't get mad?'

'I promise I won't' she says.

'I was behind you at McDonalds'.
