OK.... I'm going to try to tell this story as accurately as I heard it yesterday on 'Quinn in The Morning' in Pittsburgh.
As I remember.........a few years ago Alito was working somewhere as a judge (I think) and some big Democrat had a new office in a building nearby and had decided to get a couple of those ostentatious, large concrete or marble lions put outside his office ............ one on each side of the door at the entrance.
Alito, along with everyone else, thought the sculptures were way over the top in "degree of pomposity". So...... he asked a couple of his staff to go out on the town and try to find him a couple of those PINK FLAMINGOES you put in your yard............ he then put them outside the entrance to his office for a few laughs. It supposedly was a riot!
I'll take the nerd any time!
They had great seats right behind the team's bench.
After the game, he asked her how she liked the experience.
"Oh, I really liked it," she replied, "Especially the tight pants and all the big muscles. But I just couldn't understand why they were killing each other over 25 cents."
Dumbfounded, her date asked, "What do you mean?"
"Well, they flipped a coin, and one team got it. Then for the rest of the game, all they kept screaming was: 'Get the quarterback! Get the quarterback!' I'm like...helloooooo!!! It's only 25 cents!!!"
Good for him. We need a sense of humor. Ever look at some of those judges on the courts? Dooooooom & Glooooooom. They just lack the powdered wigs is all. Sorry, I know it is tradition but what is it with those robes??????????????????
