DONATIONS FOR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS

by Ima Schmuck / The Schalotte / February 3, 2012

I was on my way to interview Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano when I got stuck in a traffic jam just outside Washington. Nothing was moving.

Suddenly, a man knocks on the window. I rolled the window down and asked, "What's going on?"

He replied, "Terrorists have kidnapped most members of Congress, and they're asking for a 100 million dollar ransom. Otherwise, they are going to douse them all in gasoline and set them on fire. We are going from car to car, collecting donations."

I asked, "How much is everyone giving, on average?"

The man replied, "Roughly a gallon."
