Snow flurries in Philly tonight???

1. On an electrical fire that filled a department store with thick smoke, and didn't deter holiday shoppers - firefighters had to block the doors to keep customers from coming in:
”I guess it must’ve been a ‘fire-sale.’”

2. On a man shopping at a Wal-Mart Supercenter finding a surprise package in the toy section, a small plastic bag containing cocaine:
“I knew when they started selling those Whitney Houston action figures, Walmart was going to have problems.”

3. On a study that shows women spend, on average, 322 hours getting ready for Christmas, 288 of which are spent shopping:
“There is no way a guy did this study, as men are incapable of being coherent for that amount of shopping time:

4. On a police chief’s response to a string of tire-slashings: "It's obviously someone with a sharp object:"
“All people with blunt objects are no longer considered suspects.”

5. On New Jersey asking Taco Bell to throw out all their food after an E-Coli outbreak:
“This gives a whole new meaning to ‘make a run for the border.’”

6. On a lady who was fined by McDonalds for taking too long to eat the food:
“It’s called fast food for a reason.”

7. On a survey of department store Santas that found that 90 percent of them get their beards pulled daily:
“Is that what they’re calling it these days?”

8. On dentists in the U.K. leaving the profession because they believe quality care is no longer being delivered to patients:
“Wait, they have dentists?”
