Sawdust Memories: “Vice President Al Gore is tired of being compared to a block of wood. And he wants to apologize to all the people who get splinters when he hugs them.” (Gary Greenfield)
His Own Devices: “Hillary said she will scale back her duties as first lady, and Al Gore says his job as vice president will now take a back seat. Republicans can’t believe their good luck. Bill Clinton is home alone in the White House.” (Argus Hamilton)
Going Buggy: “Philadelphia is apparently not fully Y2K compliant, as up to 500 people got notices instructing them to show up for jury duty in 1900. No word yet if they’ll accept the old ‘my horse threw a shoe’ excuse.’ ” (Johnny Robish)
