iamomA man driving home from work in Washington, DC, came to a dead stop in traffic. "Wow," he thought to himself. "This traffic seems a lot worse than usual."
He noticed a police officer walking between the lines of stopped cars, so he rolled down his window and asked, "Officer, what's the hold-up?"
The officer replied, "The President is depressed, so he stopped his motorcade and is threatening to douse himself with gasoline and set himself on fire. He says no one believes his stories about why we went to war in Iraq, the worsening deficit and economy, or that his tax cuts will not help anyone except his wealthy friends. So we're taking up a collection for him."
"How much have you got so far?" the man asked.
"About 100 gallons, but a lot of folks are still siphoning."
