Have to be careful what you ask for, those genies will get you.

I need a life genie one that doesn't commit suicide like Robbin Williams though...

He has been long enough to make jokes about him... I think I didn't check my suicide joke book.

Don't do what I did look up the suicide photos of it...

What is more depressing is how his family is fighting over his money after he died...

Is it sad that I immediately imagined the Mrs. Doubtfire kids fighting with each other?

Don't worry, just read any news site and you'll be pleased with how many ways the human race can smear fecal matter all over the internet.

The mods that run Disqus don't get my "humor"

It's okay. You'll always be above Kathy Griffin on the humor scale.

Just the sound of her voice makes me want to jump off a bridge...

It's odd though she seems like she could be funny if she stopped the whole "I'm a D list celebrity" and the constant celebrity bashing while she is a celebrity...

I made a Germanwings joke about a bad date and immediately booked my tickets to hell.

Jet's been suspended or topic banned as well, don't make this into a persecution discussion.

In the past, sure. From here? Don't think so, don't plan to either.

Della Curry is out of work -- and unashamed -- after being fired by a school district in a Denver suburb.

A married mother of two, Curry is the former kitchen manager at Dakota Valley Elementary School in Aurora. She lost her job on Friday after giving school lunches to students who didn't have any money.

"I had a first grader in front of me, crying, because she doesn't have enough money for lunch. Yes, I gave her lunch," Curry told CBS Denver station KCNC-TV.

In the Cherry Creek School District, students who fail to qualify for the free lunch or reduced lunch program receive one slice of cheese on a hamburger bun and a small milk.

According to Curry, that meal is not sufficient. She said she often paid for students' lunches out of her own pocket.

"I'll own that I broke the law. The law needs to change," she said.

To qualify for the free lunch program, a family of four would have to have a household income of around $31,000. To qualify for a reduced lunch, the threshold is below $45,000.

Curry said the students she helped did not qualify for either program.

"Kids whose parents make too much money to qualify, but a lot of times they don't have enough money to eat," she said.

Parent Darnell Hill told KCNC-TV Curry had helped out his son when he forgot his lunch money.

"Do something different than fire her," Hill said. "She's trying to help."

Curry said she understands the school district was just following policy when it fired her. Now she's hoping her story will lead to some changes.

"If me getting fired for it is one way that we can try to change this, I'll take it in a heartbeat," she said.

The Cherry Creek School District said they cannot comment on personnel issues, but said "anyone who has ever been terminated has violated some kind of written policy."

Curry acknowledges that did happen in her case, but said she is looking forward to addressing the school board about making changes in the lunch policy.

The firing of a Colorado school's kitchen manager may be more complicated than she is suggesting.

Della Curry, the former kitchen manager at Dakota Valley Elementary School in Aurora, lost her job on Friday after giving school lunches to students who didn't have any money.

She says she was let go for handing out free meals to kids who couldn't pay.

But in a statement, the school district said: "Miss Curry was not dismissed for giving free food to financially disadvantaged students. Numerous documented incidents resulted in the action taken. We are unable to fully disclose all of the details concerning her dismissal without her permission."

Curry told CBS Denver station KCNC-TV that she had no regrets about giving out the free food.

"I had a first-grader in front of me, crying, because she doesn't have enough money for lunch. Yes, I gave her lunch," Curry said.

Curry's story has unleashed a torrent of criticism against the school district.

KCNC-TV's Tom Mustin spoke for the first time on camera with the Cherry Creek School District.

"It is so unfortunate that she is able to provide inaccurate information that I can't address because of state privacy issues," school district spokesperson Tustin Amole said.

Amole said Curry's firing had nothing to do with giving away food.

"There are a number of documented issues that would have led to the action that we took," she said.

"It has nothing to do with her giving free food to hungry kids?" Mustin asked Amole.

"There are no hungry kids. We feed every child," Amole responded.

Amole said she can't go into specifics without permission from Curry to release her personnel file -- something Curry has no intention of doing.

"I think they're trying to protect themselves, which is fine. But all I can tell you is the truth," Curry said.
