QUOTE OF THE DAY Vs ANSWER OF THE DAY
June 21, 2007
"Pope John XXIII had the best sense of humor of any pope in my times. He once was asked by a reporter, “If you knew that tomorrow Jesus would return, what would you tell your staff? Pope John without hesitation said, 'Looka busy!' Well I just read Rooney’s and Vandervalk’s press release on your PoliticsNJ and it reminded me of this joke. Every two years, Rooney and Vandervalk 'looka busy.'" Bergen County conservative activist Joseph Tomanelli.
Lady Astor approached Winston Churchill at a party and said "Winston, you're drunk!" "Yes, I am", replied Churchill, "and you, madam, are ugly. But I'll be sober in the morning." Well I just read Joe Tomanelli's comment and it reminded me of that joke.
and in the interests of accuracy -- Bergen County extremist and (failed) politician Joseph Tomanelli.
At the same dinner party, Astor leaned across the table to remark, "If you were my husband, Winston, I'd poison your coffee."Churchill immediately replied: "And if you were my wife, I'd drink it."
Tomanelli reminded's me of that joke too...
