I know SkyDog wanted that package quickly, but this is ridiculous! ;)

the gunman was heard to say

"I always wanted to be an angry postal worker and this is my big chance."

I could've swore I saw O.J. and A.C. inside that mail truck.

"You know my name dammit!"

That SNL was one of the funnier ones when Tim Meadows is Al on the stand in the blue sweatsuit.

NORTHWEST MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. -- BREAKING DEVELOPMENTS: Police in Fort Myers are reportedly looking for a man who allegedly shot his wife at a Citgo gas station there. A "Be On The Lookout" (BOLO) alert was issued for the man who shot his estranged wife in the head and then drove south on Alligator Alley, eventually abandoning his car near the Miami area. Police have not confirmed that the man in the Fort Myers incident and the man involved in the North Miami-Dade County hijacking are the same person. The couple involved in the Fort Myers shooting have two young children.

"You know what the law says...dammit!"

Mr. Cowlings is reminding us that we know what the law says...dammit.

LOL Crapt....that brought a laugh into my otherwise pretty dreary day. (I mentioned in another thread...I'm running a 101-degree fever today)
