It’s been a couple of weeks. Time for a Penn State joke. Tastefully done, of course.
Penn State’s career development office has sent a letter to students offering advice on what to say to prospective employers regarding the scandal enveloping the university?
What have we learned?
“Penn State? Never heard of it. Is there something going on there?”
Or, Replace Penn State on your resume with something more acceptable, such as State Correctional Institute at Camp Hill.
Or, “No, no, no, my name’s not Spanier. It’s Spaniel. Yeah, like the dog.”
And now, Herman Cain. Tom as refrained from Cain jokes, saying he doesn’t want to eat the whole cheesecake in one sitting.
GOP Presidential candidate Herman Cain drew a blank when he was asked about Libya by the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel editorial board.
What have we learned?
He’s finally perfected the Rick Perry school of answering questions.
Or, After a few moments, he said, “I don’t even know anyone named Libya, and if I did, I didn’t do what she said.”
Or, After hemming and hawing for a few minutes, he said, “We have to get rid of whats-his-name, the guy in the pajamas.”
We wondered whether Justin Bieber was even capable of this. Apparently not.
Less than two weeks after she filed it, Mariah Yeater has dropped a paternity suit she filed against singer Justin Bieber.
What have we learned?
Thank God. Our long national nightmare is over.
Neither one of us can figure out the whole thing with patchouli and hippies. It’s a mystery.
After New York City Police cleared Zuccotti Park of Occupy Wall Street protestors, sanitation workers power washed the site.
What have we learned?
Nevertheless, city officials warned that the smell of patchouli might linger for months.
And finally, pizza…mmmmmmmmmm.
After intensive campaigning by food companies that produce frozen pizzas for schools, the salt industry and potato growers, Congress introduced a spending bill that would undo proposed healthier standards for school lunches.
What have we learned?
Somewhere, a tobacco lobbyist is going “Hmmmmm…”
Mike Argento, a York native and graduate of York Suburban Area High School and Penn State, first came to the York Daily Record in 1983. He even had gray hair back then. After stints covering everything from cops to city hall to state government to the environment, he began writing a column for the paper, three times a week, in 1989. His column can be about anything and so is his blog, which encompasses life in York County and beyond. And, for the record, as he told his wife the other night, he wishes people would stop asking him, 'What's wrong with you?' He really doesn't know.
