LAUGH LINES

Combo Plan: “A McDonald’s in the heart of Atlanta’s business district has just been remodeled to attract more business customers. [This location features an area] where you can check your e-mail while you’re dining at McDonald’s. They even have televisions that are tuned to the financial news network so you can watch your stocks nose-dive--and that will remind you why you’re eating at McDonald’s in the first place.” (Jay Leno)

Sole Search: “Nike is recalling about 425,000 pairs of cross-trainer shoes because of a strip of metal it says can protrude from the shoe heel and cause injury. It’s just so hard to find good help at 3 cents an hour.” (Leno)
