Ooh L.A. L.A.:

A TV executive relays a strange conversation she overheard in the West Hollywood sheriff’s station between two women visitors and a deputy.

“One of the women was complaining that when the cops arrested her friend, they put her in the wrong jail cell,” the exec said. “Her friend had been arrested with some transvestites and put in a cell with them. But the woman said, ‘She’s not a transvestite, she’s a sex change.’ She kept saying that, ‘She’s not a transvestite, she’s a sex change.’ ”

Finally, the exec says, the exasperated deputy replied: “We don’t know the difference. We can’t go reaching down there to find out who’s who or what’s what.”

MENU FOR SUCCESS: We don’t want to appear partisan in an election year, but it’s obvious that President Clinton has influenced the students in Valerie Williams’ class at Edison Elementary School in Glendale.

Williams asked her fourth-, fifth- and sixth-graders to write essays about how they would spend a typical day as president of the United States.

“In the morning I would wake up at 5 and take a jog to McDonald’s,” began President Villanueva.

“In the morning I would go jogging and stop at Burger King to get a Whopper,” began President Padilla.

“After jogging I would go to the White House and have a milk shake with waffles,” began President Gharib.
