From Neil Steinberg’s op-ed in the Chicago Sun-Times:
A driver is stuck in a traffic jam on the interstate. Nothing is moving.
Suddenly a man walks over. The driver rolls down his window and asks: ‘‘What’s going on?’’
‘‘Terrorists down the road have kidnapped George W. Bush and
Dick Cheney. They’re asking for a $100 million ransom. Otherwise
they’re going to douse them with gasoline and set them on fire. We’re
going from car to car, taking up a collection.’’
The driver asks, ‘‘How much is everyone giving, on average?’’
‘‘Most people are giving about a gallon.’’
