Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!
Class is now in session. The rules are simple; you get a grade if you use the WFTD in a sentence, haiku, limerick, or quatrain. You get a "+" if you make a link, or make the teacher laugh, or you offer the appropriate bribes. I hold the grade book, and the whip and chair.
Point Pleasant Beach: Two South Jersey residents were charged with misbehaving after a police officer caught them engaging in apparent sexual activity on the hood of a police car, said Police Chief Daniel DePolo.
Oh, oh dear. LOL
Ever hear the sprite move 'Ya?
Tenacious to do it where they can boo ya.
On a cop's car
They went a bit far
Misbehavin' is the charge they'll fine ya!
Duo 'misbehaved' on car, cops say

Not at all, I held the door open for him when I saw him running. :-)
I know quite a bit about Point Pleasant Beach and am surprised. It sounds like activity formerly restricted to Frank's Riptide bar.

There is one heretofore unacknowledged upside to His election..
As the Bush re-election campaign heats up, you can bet your botom dollar there will be pub pics of the pair working out....
If you think the Jet Jock pics got the ladies moist....
The Gender Gap will be dripping.
