If we can’t catch a Nigerian with a powerful explosive powder in his oddly feminine-looking underpants and a syringe full of acid, whose own father had alerted the U.S. Embassy in Nigeria, a traveler whose ticket was paid for in cash & who didn’t check bags, whose visa renewal had been denied by the British, who had st…udied in Al Qaeda sanctuary Yemen, who was on a...
Babies cry louder in New Jersey.
Jersey: every single guy on the plane referenced his mother once during the flight.
Being on a plane full of Jersy-ians is like being in The Hole at Shawshank.

Top Things of the 2000's
This is the final, end-all list of the best things of the 2000’s, according to me. (Slight deviations from my initial list made one week ago).
September 11, 2001: This was our generation’s JFK assassination. We’ll never forget where we were, who we were with, or how much TV we watched for the next four days straight.
YouTube.com: It totally changed the game, and is still...
Spot the Difference
Good thing I re-read my e-mails before I send them. Which would you rather send to your new boss? “I haven’t yet entered a forecast for this month, ass the issue just closed.”

Stevie Wonder still can’t see handshakes or hugs coming at him.
The Black Eyed Peas’ tour bus should go careening off of a cliff, and...

Last year we did it in record time. And somehow it still looked exactly the same as when we spent three hours at the tree farm and three hours decorating…
interesting facts about newspaper advertising →
“Buying a newspaper ad in the Los Angeles Times will run you about $70,000 for a full-run, full-page black-and-white ad.”
“If you steer clear of the largest cities, there are some more affordable newspaper advertising prices. In Milwaukee, for example, you can buy a full-page ad for around $15,000.”
Volkswagen wants to be the No. 1 automaker →
“VW has a 2018 plan to get there – “not just to survive but to thrive,” Klingler says – that’s also supposed to make VW ubiquitous, top-of-mind, the very definition of “automobile,” as it provocatively suggests in its advertising tagline Das Auto(German for “The Car”).
