Miami, Florida (The Adobo Chronicles) –  On December 14, 2014, Miss South Africa Rolene Strauss was crowned Miss World in London. But unlike in other countries, whomever is chosen Miss South Africa in any given year represents the country in  all major international beauty pageants, including Miss Universe, Miss International, Miss Supranational, Miss World and Miss Grand International.

So, when the Miss Universe Pageant is held in Florida next month, Strauss will take to the stage as Miss South Africa, right? Wrong.

Remember what the Miss Universe Pageant hosts always say before announcing the name of the new Miss Universe? “In the event that the new Miss Universe will not be able to fulfill her duties, the first runner-up will automatically  become Miss Universe.”

Ergo, Strauss as the reigning Miss World can’t possibly fulfill her duties as Miss Universe which include traveling and appearing with Miss Universe Pageant owner Donald Trump. So Strauss has been disqualified from the Florida pageant.

Miss South Africa’s 1st runner up, Ziphozakhe Zokufa will take over to represent her country in the Miss Universe Pageant.

After all, Trump, who has a say in who becomes Miss Universe, may have a different type than the Miss World Pageant judges. So a Miss World title holder is not assured of a Miss Universe title.

EGYPTIAN MAN FOUND TO BE PREGNANT!

1 Comment

CaptureCairo, Egypt (The Adobo Chronicles) – A male bus driver went in for a urine test as part of a routine drug screening by his employer, the General Transport Authority in Egypt. The results came back positive, but not for illegal substance.

The man was totally shocked when the doctor told him, “Congratulations, you’re pregnant!”

Apparently, the man used urine sample he took from his wife earlier. He had no idea that his wife was two months pregnant.

Moral of the story: keep a pregnancy home test kit handy at all times, and use it before submitting yourself for drug testing. Especially if you’re male.

U.S. CONGRESS JOINS THE CORPORATE EXODUS, WILL MOVE TO SWITZERLAND

Leave a comment

imageWashington, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles) – The United States Congress is the latest American Institution to announce that it is moving its headquarters abroad.

The announcement came just hours after the fastfood giant Burger King said it was moving its corporate headquarters to Canada. BK joins the growing list of American companies exiting the U.S. while maintaining business operations in the country — all for the sake of paying less taxes and employing cheaper labor.

Congress will move the Capitol to Switzerland.

Speaker John Boehner said the move will free senators and congressmen from public scrutiny, media criticism and lobbying while allowing the honorable men and women of Congress to do some serious work.  The current Congress has earned the reputation as a “do-nothing” Congress.

Legislative aides, interns and contractual personnel were all excited after hearing the news of their transfer to Switzerland. “I love Swiss cheese and chocolates,” exclaimed an aide to Representative Michele Bachmann. “Wow, now I can finally realize my long-time dream of going to work in kilts,” said another.

There is, however, one group that is not happy about the move – the Capitol police. Boehner disclosed that the new U.S. Congress building which will be overlooking the Swiss Alps, will be employing Swiss guards.
