Snap, Crack, Pop.

Last night Mike, Joanna, Janet and I wandered around to 3 different parties in the South End. We didn't get back to Medford until nearly 6am, so all told I technically spent 10 hours doing the New Year's thing. As I was the driver, it was obviously a bit challenging to remain amused the entire time. So I started making up Saddam Hussein jokes. As you do.

Q: What was Saddam Hussein's favorite wine?
A: Earnest and Julio Gallo.

Q: What was Saddam Hussein's favorite Three's Company character?
A: Mr. Roper.

Q: What was Saddam Hussein's favorite Chubby Checkers song?
A: Twisting the Night Away.

And my personal favorite:

Q: What was Saddam Hussein's favorite INXS song?
A: New Sensation. (Say it fast).

I didn't say they were funny. My mission was made even more urgent by the number of people who became thoroughly disgusted with my work - which obviously just encouraged me. I hope everyone got home safe, and here's hoping for a doozy of a 2007.
