LAUGH LINES

To Long Life: “According to a new study, inmates are now spending a shorter time on death row. The average time on death row is 10 years and 10 months. Isn’t that amazing? Death row inmates actually have a longer lifespan than 7-Eleven clerks. It doesn’t seem fair.” (Jay Leno)

Multimillion-Dollar Deal: “Rush Limbaugh signed a deal to continue doing his radio show with Premiere Radio Networks for $250 million. The dollar amount is just staggering. Only General Motors ever spent more money to get an airbag to come out of the dashboard.” (Argus Hamilton)

Fast Food Rage: “According to the Wall Street Journal, the newest thing is McDonald’s rage. Have you heard about this? ... The Wall Street Journal says that one out of every 10 McDonald’s customers just goes berserk and throws a fit in the restaurant. So apparently, those Happy Meals are not working .... That’s why Ronald McDonald has a red nose--from getting punched in the face all the time.” (Leno)
