Leading Off (3/17/10)

By Krista Nightengale |

Since Tim’s off spring breaking, I’m going to try to channel him for this Leading Off (growing mustache on face, throwing out back, losing the hair on the top of my head…). Actually. If I really wanted to channel Tim, I would know that he wouldn’t be in the office on St. Patty’s Day, so forget it, on to the Leading Off.

1. I have nothing to add to the tease to this article: “A Dallas County jail guard is fired for allegedly making racist and anti-gay remarks, as well as unorthodox comments about dinosaurs. …”

2. So the boss of whoever missed the 123 bags of drugs in a police locker can view this situation one of two ways: with humor and a “glass half-full approach,” or with disdain and a “whoever missed this is so fired” approach. I go for humor.

3. One day, a bus driver got mad at three little girls for eating Oreos on the bus. So he allegedly pulled out a knife and told them if they didn’t tell him who ate the Oreos, he would cut off their wrists. But it’s cool, because it was all a joke, see? He says the same thing to his kids. (He says now that he doesn’t make that joke as often as he did two years ago.) I think we can all learn something from this. Don’t eat Oreos on a bus. Don’t threaten to cut off kids’ fingers.
