A Groaner From Stacey T

А Тicket

A police officer pulls a guy over for speeding and has the following exchange:

Officer: May I see your driver’s license?

Driver: I don’t have one. I had it suspended when I got my 5th DUI.

Officer: May I see the owner’s card for this vehicle?

Driver: It’s not my car. I stole it.

Officer: The car is stolen?

Driver: That’s right. But come to think of it, I think I saw the owner’s card in the glove box when I was putting my gun in there.

Officer: There’s a gun in the glove box?

Driver: Yes sir. That’s where I put it after I shot and killed the woman who owns this car and stuffed her in the trunk.

Officer: There’s a BODY in the TRUNK?!?!?

Driver: Yes, sir.

Hearing this, the officer immediately called his captain. The car was quickly surrounded by police, and the captain approached the driver to handle the tense situation:

Captain: Sir, can I see your license?

Driver: Sure. Here it is.

It was valid.

Captain: Who’s car is this?

Driver: It’s mine, officer. Here’s the registration.

Captain: Could you slowly open your glove box so I can see if there’s a gun in it?

Driver: Yes, sir, but there’s no gun in it.

Sure enough, there was nothing in the glove box.

Captain: Would you mind opening your trunk? I was told you said there’s a body in it.

Driver: No problem.

Trunk is opened; no body.

Captain: I don’t understand it. The officer who stopped you said you told him you didn’t have a license, stole the car, had a gun in the glove box, and that there was a dead body in the trunk.

Driver: Yeah, I’ll bet he told you I was speeding, too.

Proof of Racial Healing

"What Senator Obama must realize,

is he is not the agent of racial healing.

He is the product of it."

Rush Limbaugh

I don't think Obama or anyone in his camp gets this. Again, Rush is right.

I would rather entertain and hope that people learned something

than educate people and hope they were entertained.

February 11th?

I must be taking a vacation from blogging. It's not because things aren't happening or I'm not finding interesting things to share. I got a new camera for Valentines Day, so I have plenty of photos to post. Things are good at work. I've rejoined Weight Watchers and it's working for me nicely, (about time, eh?) I rescued a new dog from the pound. She's a sweetheart. So? What's the problem? I just haven't felt like blogging. This blog does come and go in spurts. I guess I'm on an "off" spurt.

Hello! Listen To The News &/Or Read the Newspaper

James Taranto points out:

Just Another Tuesday All the Super Tuesday hype left would-be voters in several states confused:

Milwaukee's WTMJ-AM quotes Ethel Goodwin, who arose early yesterday and tuned in to the station: "We were listening to the news and they were saying that Super Tuesday, and all the state, I figured that included Wisconsin," she said. When she showed up at her local polling place, "there were about six to 10 other people standing outside waiting to go in, also, at 6:30 [a.m.]." Wisconsin's primary actually is Feb. 19.

In Virginia, the Associated Press reports,
"more than 700 callers swamped the State Board of Elections offices, most of them demanding to know why their polling places were closed." That would be because Virginia votes next week.

In Dallas, "the county elections office has received close to 1,000 phone calls from people asking where to vote," reports the Dallas Morning News. "San Antonio officials reported similar calls." Texas votes on March 4.

The election supervisor in Palm Beach County, Fla., received more than 100 calls Monday and Tuesday from people seeking to vote, the Orlando Sentinel reports. Officials in Orange County, Fla., say they heard from people trying to reach Orange County, Calif., where they actually did vote yesterday. Janet Olin, assistant elections supervisor of Leon County, Fla., says she's gotten her share of calls too. "It's funny that they want to argue with us about it," says Olin. "We absolutely have had more than a handful, and they are a handful." Floridians will have to wait until at least 2012 to vote in a presidential primary, since they missed their chance last week.
(Florida, Florida shame on you.)

We wonder if someone will start arguing for a national primary on the ground that the current system "disenfranchises" the easily confused.

Amy Winehouse - Monkey Man (I hadn't heard this one before. I think it was the "B" side of another release. Of course, I think it's better than most "A" sides. But I'm partial. As I've said a million times, I wish she'd clean-up her personal life, it would be such a waste if she doesn't.)

John Kerry Snubs Old Running Mate

Not that I particularly care one way or another who/whom? John Kerry thinks should be the next President, I guess I thought he'd endorse Hillary. Probably ticked-off John Edwards, too. Maybe I'm just surprised he didn't wait until to sign-off on the Democrat nominee.
