THE FRIDAY AFTERNOON JOKE SECTION
>
My pal Ellen is in Florida this week and she just sent me a great Friday afternoon joke that I figured everyone would enjoy-- at least everyone who enjoys this blog. Not all cops are like the ones who beat up that guy in New Orleans, and the one Ellen wrote to me about comes close to winning the DWT ingenuity award this week.
A driver did the right thing, stopping at the crosswalk even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection.
The tailgating woman behind him went ballistic, pounding on her horn and screaming in frustration as she missed her chance to drive through the intersection with him.
Still in mid-rant, she heard a tap on her window and looked up into the face of a very serious police officer. The officer ordered her to exit her car with her hands up.
He took her to the police station where she was searched, finger printed, photographed, and placed in a cell.
After a couple of hours, a policeman approached the cell and opened the door. She was escorted back to the booking desk where the arresting officer was waiting with her personal effects.
He said, "I'm awfully sorry for this mistake. You see, I pulled up behind your car while you were blowing your horn, flipping the guy off in front of you, and cussing a blue streak at him. I noticed the "Choose Life" license plate holder, the "What Would Jesus Do?" bumper sticker, the "Follow Me to Sunday School" bumper sticker, and the chrome-plated Christian fish emblem on the trunk. Naturally, I assumed you had stolen the car.

Thanks, I needed that!
I just came back, bloodied, after being forced into unavoidable battle with our Human Resources Director--at 10 of 5 on a Friday! (I need hardly add that the battle proved to be as unwinnable as it was unavoidable. And do I need to add "pointless"?)
So I really needed my Friday afternoon chuckle.
(I suppose instead of whining I should count myself lucky to have not only a job but one that offers the luxury of paid sick days--provided you correctly maneuver all of the policy's sweet zigs and zags. After all, the present national climate is hardly hospitable to those of us obliged to toil for a living.)

"But this sort of barrenness is threatening to the Republican base because they're generally people who hate sex and are bad at it. So they fear that their own population will dwindle because there won't be enough Republicans willing to fuck each other. Harriet Miers isn't using the equipment God gave her for making babies, and that's just wrong. It's like God giving you a beautiful garden and you not strip mining it for coal."
--Bill Maher, on the fact that Harriett Miers isn't married with children
