An oldie but a goodie - thanks to my friend, sweets.

A driver is stuck in a traffic jam going into downtown DC. Nothing is moving north or south. Suddenly a man knocks on his window. The driver rolls down his window and asks, “What happened, what’s the hold up?”

“Terrorists have kidnapped Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Barney Frank, Harry Reid,Nancy Pelosi, Henry Waxman, Chris Dodd, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. They are asking for a $10 Million ransom, otherwise, they are going to douse them with gasoline and set them on fire! We are going from car to car, taking up a collection.”

The driver asks, “On average, how much is everyone giving?’”

“About a gallon.”
