Another day, another terrorist arrest … sigh.
1. On a report that New York City is the safest big city in the United States:
“Mayor Street made sure that Philly didn’t make it into the top 50.

2. On Home Depot firing an employee because he stopped a shop-lifting:
“Geez, just when I thought I couldn’t find any more reasons to hate this company …“

3. On a council that banned a 6-year-old boy from flying the Jolly Roger flag at his pirate birthday party because it was 'unneighbourly:'
“So, when exactly will “fun” be totally outlawed?”

4. On Somali pirates capturing a Danish ship as a French warship looks on:

5. On a first grade teacher being arrested for viewing online porn … during class:
“You know when you sometimes get that thought in your head that maybe what you’re doing might not be the right thing to do? This guy apparently doesn’t have this ‘skill.’”

6. On a Guard Private heading for Iraq with his new mother-in-law as his platoon sergeant:
“What kind of thing did this guy do in the past to warrant this kind of punishment? Was he a chronic puppy-kicker as a youth?”

7. On an amusement park in China that has built what it claims is the world's largest penis:
“And to think, Paris Hilton is behind bars … talkin’ about being at the wrong place at the wrong time …”

5 guys/gals who rule
5 Comments:
1. Philly is the safest big city for bribing.
2. Does Home Despot also ban employees from calling the fire department or the ambulance?
3. Council approved Michael Jackson's appearance at the 6-year-old's birthday party.
4. France bought its warship from the Minnesota Vikings.
5. Mr. Jackson to the principal's office. Mr. Jackson.
6. Also how Saddam got his start.
7. The John Holmes Scream Machine.
8. Just another day in a Philadelphia union shop.
2. I bet that has to do with some insurance clause due to the danger apprehending a criminal presents. Still, really crappy to get fired over it. It wasn't like they ran them down and tackled them to help like I did when I worked at Circuit City.
As for #4? (giggling) If that doesn't sum up the French work ethic, nothing and I mean NOTHING does.
2.Home Depot does suck. They screwed my deceased friend's widow out of his final paycheck($800) because they found a roach in his locker, the day he died, ON THE JOB by the way.
4. Besides being home to Triple H's ancestors, France has never done nuthin' for no one.
2. read it 4 times and still can't believe it. My bosses are moonlighting. They must be.
