A man on his way home from work at the Pentagon came to a dead halt in traffic
and thought to him, “Wow, this traffic seems worse than usual. Nothing’s even
moving.” He notices a police officer walking back and forth between the lines of
cars.
So he rolls down his window and asks, “Excuse me, Officer, what’s the hold
up?” The Officer replies, “The President just found out Starr has delivered
another report to the Congress and he’s all depressed. He stopped his motorcade
in the middle of the Beltway and he’s threatening to douse himself in gasoline
and set himself on fire. He says his family hates him and he doesn’t have the
$33.5 million he owes his lawyers. I’m walking around taking up a collection for
him.”
“Oh really? How much have you collected so far?”
“I’ve got a lot of folks still siphoning; but right now I have about three
hundred gallons.”
