Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

Just got back from Wendy's.  There were two old ladies in front of me, and it took them like five minutes to place an order for chili and drinks. :bleeding:

"AH NEED A SMALL CHILI AND A SENIOR SPRITE!  MAKE SURE YOU RING THAT UP AS SENIOR NOW!"

Then...

"A DOLLAR SEVENTY NINE FOR THE CHILI!?  THAT USED TO BE NINETY NINE CENTS!  AH'M ON A FIXED INCOME!"

I then had to grab the only open table next to them and listen to them talk for ten minutes about how Wendy's has the best damn chili anywhere. :x

In the bizarre department, I was watching CNN during lunch and they air the White House press secretary.  "The president and the first lady will spend the day blah blah blah.  Doctor Biden will blah blah blah."

Doctor Biden??  I paid attention to make sure I hadn't misheard.  He repeated it a bunch of times.

:huh:

Doesn't Joe have a son who is a doctor? :hmm:

Why would the WH press secretary tell us his schedule?

Maybe he just recognizes the true power of a JD.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

So that people wouldn't waste time in the waiting room for nothing? :huh:

Biden's old enough I wondered if he might have the (far superior) LL.B., but I guess not. :(

That would make sense. :)

She's an MD?  She looks like a total trophy wife bimbo.

Wiki says she has a Ed.D.  Doctor of Education I guess.

I don't know about "trophy wife" though - she's only 9 years younger, and Biden's first wife did die in the car accident.

She looked pretty good the one time I saw her.

I think she's a Professor of something. I remember reading she's the first working wife of a VP for ages.

"trophy wife" generally means more than just having a pretty wife.  It seems to mean a much younger wife, and a divorced ex-wife in the background.

Just noticed former Sky Sports chick Georgie Thompson is now cohosting a show with Regis Philbin on Fox Sports 1. Hmm...
