1994: Yitzhak Rabin, Yasser Arafat, F.W. de Klerk and Nelson Mandela are honored to be chosen Time's Men of the Year.
Ewwwww... talk about the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse - on the cheap side! Who were the 4 Women of the Year, I wonder?
At least the F.W. was De Clerk... and not the other F.W. - Murnau! Post-humously? Time loses track of time quite often, y'know...
2002: Mercer, PA, swears in a 19-year-old mayor... Liberty resides in Pennsylvania... that big old rusty bell sure does... and maybe, given time, anarchy will too... one day? It's on its way...
But... I'm the mayor...!
Very funny, kid... some I.D. please...
2003: As of today, you can be banned from city buses in Portland, Oregon - if you smell bad...
This sucks! Or rather - this stinks! Tee-Hee! What is this - aren't we in the land of the free - and home of the brave enough NOT to bath...? HA HA HA HA HA !!!
No more puns such as "Portland Portly Sweathogs" or "Oregon Hoars" now - this new legislation renders them obsolete! Hmm... or do they?
