While I was looking around for something else I stumbled upon this joke that JtE left over 6 years ago:
Janice the American Elder • 6 years ago
There was a man stuck in a traffic jam on the freeway, and his car hadn't moved in half-an-hour. Suddenly, someone knocks on his window. He rolls down the window and sees a man standing there next to his car. He asks "So, what's up?"
The standing man says "There was a news alert on the radio. Terrorists have taken all of congress hostage. If they aren't paid ten million dollars, they will throw gasoline on all of the congressmen, and set them on fire. I'm walking from car-to-car getting donations."
The man in the car says, "Wow. How much are most people giving?"
The standing man says "Most are giving about a gallon."
Come on people, we’re better than that – we should all be able to give two gallons these days.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have things to do.
