Quirky World: Johnson stands firm on his status as a sex bomb
But the Mayor of London urged activists to fight for the UK’s economy as he reiterated Conservative warnings about a Labour government supported by the SNP.
After he urged his party to “fight, fight, fight” in search of support, Johnson was told that a survey had found he was the politician most married women would like a fling with — and asked if he would use this tactic to woo voters. To laughter among the audience, he replied: “I don’t think it’s going to be the fulcrum on which this election is going to turn.”

A Washington teenager who strapped fake explosives to his body in a stunt to ask a date to prom has been suspended from school.
The Columbian newspaper in Vancouver reports that the five-day suspension will prevent Ibrahim Ahmad from attending La Centre High’s dance.
The 18-year-old says he was trying to go all out with his proposal, wearing a vest filled with paper-tube props made to look like explosives. At lunchtime, Ahmad stood on the cafeteria stage and held a sign that said he was “the bomb” and inviting his would-be date to prom.
Superintendent Mark Mansell says Ahmad’s actions were inexcusable and that he deserved punishment for disrupting the learning environment.
Ahmad says the girl accepted, so they will likely go to dinner on prom night.

A Massachusetts native has been reunited with his high school class ring nearly 50 years after he lost it at a beach.

Toomey now lives in Anchorage, Alaska. He says he hadn’t thought about the ring for a long time before he learned a tourist found the ring on the same beach buried under 20cm of mud.
The tourist took the ring to the school, and employees did some detective work and found it belonged to Toomey.
