Residents of Philadelphia haven't been this upset since inspectors from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission forced Pat's King of Steaks to change the grease in the French fry machine. According to reports in Wednesday's Philadelphia Daily News, demographers now predict that Phoenix soon will overtake Philadelphia in population and become the nation's fifth largest city.

50,000 people go to a baseball game, but the game was rained out. A refund is then due. The team is about to mail refunds when the Congressional Democrats stopps them and decrees that they send out refund amounts based on the Democrat National Committee's interpretation of fairness. After all,if the refunds are made based on the price each person paid for the tickets, most of the money would go to the wealthiest ticket holders. That would be unconscionable!

..., perhaps he can get the demographics boys to change the criteria to something more favorable. Say, from population growth to caloric intake.

ROFL!

With apologies to Philly FReepers......

I used to co-ordinate National Conventions for a Business Association. The President of the Association wanted to have the convention in Philadelphia one year. The members who lived in Philly talked him out of it because "there were better places to go".

Nuff said.

editors at the Daily News assigned their best staff member to the story, forcing Mr. Russell to temporarily put aside his work as - I am not making this up - the beer columnist.

That's rich!

I guess he really said...

"Hold muh beer 'n watch this!" PING....

If you want on or off this list, please let me know!

When not expounding on urban expansion and demographics, Mr. Russell (writing as Joe Sixpack) spends his nights getting to the bottom of as many chilled 16-ounce "stories" as possible.
