>>I once got stuck on an on-ramp to the Kennedy Expressway (I-90) for an hour and a half beginning around 9 in the morning. The expressway was closed from O'Hare to downtown for the bleeping Chinese premier. What a waste! They should have made him cab it, no one would recognize him here anyway <g>. (Hu?)

>A good friend was on his way from work in South San Francisco, to his home in San Francisco one Friday evening. Parallel to Candlestick Park on hiway 101, all traffic came to a halt for four hours. My friend was late getting home needless to say. It turned out that someone had dropped a ten pound sack of flour on the blacktop. The CHP reacted, closed the hiway and called CalTrans. The “hazardous material” was taken to a laboratory for analysis.

Knead hazardous materials and let rise for four hours....
