****JOKE DU
JOUR....back by popular demand. This is now once again, the most
accessed feature in the People's Republic of China..FUNNY
The Winter Season is here. It is
supposed to be very cold, but lately you can never tell. Make sure you
bring a heavy coat, hat, and scarf.
You should bring along a heavy
weight
sweater for really cold weather and maybe even snow..
Here is the weather right now and the forecast for
New York City
WEATHER
GABBYMAN ENCOUNTERS...An intersection in The Bronx
where the traffic light is remotely controlled by a hidden nypd cop who makes
it "red" as you go through. Then, he jumps out from behind a tree and gives
you a ticket. The "remote" looks like a tv remote.
GABBYGRAM....The city says there are 40,000 homeless. However, rich people are
paying $40,000 a year to send each of their own kids to a private kindergarten
school. Isn't it interesting that those two numbers are the same?
GABBYGURU....I predict that folks will eventually learn that the Facebook
financial offering is a con job.
HERE ARE THE TRUE TALES THAT I AM DOING ON THE RADIO THIS WEEK.
fEBRUARY 5, 2012.
****If you had asked me to take you to the Super Bowl in my
yellow mobile conveyance lounge, I would have charged you $2,000 each way.
That is less than a first class airline ticket and the airplane staff are not
as funny as I am. DID ANYONE ACTUALLY ASK ME? YOU BET.
****Just thought you might like to see the salaries that the
folks who are running the World Trade Center Memorial are getting each year.
CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW MUCH OTHER MONEY IS JUST "MISSING?"
****The MTA has caved to several costly union demands in
contract talks — including one concession agreeing to give subway operators
three paid days off when they hit someone. The major victory for the Transport
Workers Union Local 100 amid tense negotiations reverses the current agency
policy, which gives subway operators three days off only if the person struck
is killed. Now, workers will get off even if the victim survives. WHEN TAXI
DRIVERS RUN OVER SOMEONE THEY DO NOT GET REWARDED WITH TIME OFF.
****Pfizer Inc. is recalling 1 million packets of birth
control pills after uncovering a packaging error that could leave women with
an inadequate dose of the hormone-based drugs and raise the risk that they
will get pregnant accidentally. SWINGING SINGLES ARE IN A PANIC.
****East Harlem International House of Pancakes restaurant
puts bulletproof glass in 24-hour takeout window. Residents in the area claim
that this is racially motivated. THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO ROB RESTAURANTS IN HARLEM
ARE WHITE METHODISTS.
================================
****QUIET TIME (book to read)....
All I Did Was Shoot My Man
Walter Mosley
Penguin, 336 pp., 26.95
From the start of this series, Walter Mosley has portrayed Manhattan private
investigator Leonid McGill as a tormented soul bent on devoting the second
half of his career in atonement for the first half, in which he was, among
other things, a killer for hire.

africa. from time to time, i do this and the tourist gets to be famous. the
radio stations love this feature for their listeners. AUDIO
**to
hear broadcast spots about some of the places where folks are taken to,
listen to these commercials that were created for a "visit new york city
promotion" at SPOTS
****please
note that i encourage folks planning on coming to nyc to write to me for some
advice. beware the online trip advising sites that are written
mainly by public relations people to promote their clients'services.
many of the restaurants that they tout have numerous health violations and
you can always ask me about that. i do not "rate" things but
i sure can tell you if you choices (including hotels and attractions) are
wise ones.
