The stock market, which has been trading sideways for months amid soaring oil prices and bulging budget deficits, received another body-blow today when it was revealed that Federal Reserve Board Chairman Alan Greenspan ran out of a Sizzler restaurant in Secaucus, New Jersey Wednesday night without paying.

I had a friend who 'dined and dashed' when we were freshman in college after a night in the bars. The restaurant got the license number off of his dads car, and gave it to the police who then called his dad. Cliff (his pop) drove up that morning, and the yelling was so loud it cleared the whole dorm floor.

Well .. isn't Sizzler still making you pay when you come in and order your dinner ..?? That's what happens at the Sizzler in my neighborhood - so when you're done eating .. you just pick up your coat and walk out.

If this was supposed to be HUMOR - it's not working.

Don't spread this piece of humor around, the stock market will go down.

I'd forgotten. I hadn't been to a Sizler in years. :)
