Humor: We’re Number One

The Top 5 Indications a Supreme Court Justice Is Taking Bribes

One of my three submissions made No. 1; the other two didn’t make the list. Guess which one:.(answer at bottom of this item, or at the other end of the link above. No cheating!)

1. Takes a private jet from the bench to the men’s room
2. Refers to the White House as an adorable little cottage.
3. Casts the swing vote in favor of reversing the estate tax, so it is paid by the government instead of to it.

I’ve had scores of No. 1s over the years, but I am still happy when I have another. Most of mine disappeared when the original site was dismantled and closed for a decade, but thanks to the Wayback Machine, and old PSACOT columns, I recovered a half-dozen of my No. 1s.

Also: a great poem by the late humorist George Carlin.
