NOT specific to current situation but applicable...
I always chuckle at this one:

After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year, British scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 200 years and came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 150 years ago.
Not to be outdone by the Brit's, in the weeks that followed, an American archaeologist dug to a depth of 20 feet, and shortly after, a story published in the New York Times: "American archaeologists, finding traces of 250-year-old copper wire, have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network 100 years earlier than the British".
One week later, the Irish Department of Agriculture reported the following:
"After digging as deep as 30 feet near Ballyhaunis, Co Mayo, Mick O’Connor, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing.....
Mick has therefore concluded that 250 years ago, Ireland had already gone wireless."
Proud to be Irish!

Yesterday I spotted an albino Dalmatian dog. Seemed the right thing to do.

Greetings,
I didn't see this one coming at all!
On the first day of school, the children brought gifts for their teacher. The florist’s son brought the teacher a bouquet of flowers. The candy-store owner’s daughter gave the teacher a pretty box of candy. Then the liquor-store owner’s son brought up a big, heavy box. The teacher lifted it up and noticed that it was leaking a little bit. She touched a drop of the liquid with her finger and tasted it.
“Is it wine?” she guessed.
“No,” the boy replied. She tasted another drop and asked, ” Champagne?
Wait for it...
“No,” said the little boy… “It’s a puppy!”

Reminds me of the Alan Davies joke(English comedian, remember QI?) about a fellow pupil at High School, surname of Glascock:" Not overly bright but you could always see him coming".

INTERESTING OBSERVATION
1. The sport of choice for the urban poor is BASKETBALL.
2. The sport of choice for maintenance level employees is BOWLING
3. The sport of choice for front-line workers is FOOTBALL.
4. The sport of choice for supervisors is BASEBALL.
5. The sport of choice for middle management is TENNIS.
And...
6. The sport of choice for corporate executives and officers is GOLF.
The amazing fact is, the higher you go in the corporate structure, the smaller your balls become.
I hear the stores in one major NE city can't keep up with the demand for marbles!

Understandable if it's a D city.

That's certainly the first letter of the two letter city.
Wifey B: Darn, we're urban poor and somewhat middle management. Lousy at the small ball sport.
