You can’t start 'em too young
In San Francisco, a lawyer seeks a ban on Oreo cookies for children claiming their trans fats make them too dangerous for kids. Thanks to this, children in San Francisco can now get a crucial head start on learning how to despise lawyers.
What makes them think that?
An Evanston, Ill. health study suggests the alcohol industry may be indirectly targeting underage teenage drinkers in magazines. Like, for example, the commercial that claims; “Drink our beer and Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears will totally like you.”
The good ol’ days
“Sixty Minutes” is going to cancel their Bill Clinton Bob Dole debates. Now if Bill Clinton wants sixty minutes, he’ll have to pay the hooker $100 cash upfront like before.
Ding dong revisited
Los Angeles Lakers’ came back from 25 points down, but Robert Horry missed a last second three point shot as the Lakers lose game five, 96-94. Robert Horry is in a slump. The only shot he has hit was the one he took at the Spur’s David Robinson’s family jewels.
Horry’s last second shot went in the basket, banged around but, for some reason, couldn’t go through. Today, Lakers’ coach Phil Jackson ordered an angioplasty done on the rim to unclog it.
All the lies that are fit to print
The New York Times fired a reporter for making up news stories. The guy lied about where he was reporting from, made up sources, betrayed military secrets . . . wait, no, sorry, that was Geraldo Rivera.
How bad is it at the New York Times? Today they hired the fact checker away from the National Enquirer.
You can tell the New York Times is now being extra careful. Today a report that the New York weather was cloudy included the disclaimer; “The opinions in this report are those of the meteorologist, and do not necessarily reflect those of the New York Times.”
New grip
The U.S. Treasury has released a new $20 bill. The new bill has different colors, light green, pale blue and peach. Light green, pale blue and peach? Who is pictured on it, Siegfried and Roy?
Have you seen the new $20 bill? It’s nice, but here is my question: Why does it have Tom Petty’s face on it?
In addition, due to the color changes, the expression to describe a flagrant homosexual has been officially changed to “Gay as a twenty-dollar bill.”
Have you seen the new $20 bill? They re-styled them. I guess the old style twenty just wasn’t moving. Did anyone ever turn down a twenty-dollar bill because they didn’t like how it looked?
One Man Senate Watchdog Committee
Vermont Senator James Jeffords chased down a teenager who stole a wallet from his daughter- in-law on Capitol Hill. Jeffords then, of course, immediately gave the wallet back to his daughter in-law, after deducting his customary senatorial surtax.
The teenager claimed he took the wallet as a favor to Jeffords daughter in-law; he merely wanted to change-out her old twenties and replace them with new twenties.
When Jeffords captured the thief, he yelled; “You can’t steal money from the American people, that’s our job.”
