I wrote this after watching the news. A bomb threat was supposedly made on the Moakley Courthouse and the scene became a media circus. I then posted it on Facebook because everybody was acting like idiots:

Here we go again, a human tragedy turned into a TV sitcom.

 

“Hi Jack, I’m standing at the Moakley Courthouse on Boylston Street where an unidentified man is eating a meatball sub with cheese, I repeat, meatball sub with cheese. Police are now moving the unidentified man across the street toward a sausage vendor… wait, we got more movement. Large crowd forming at Papa Ginos….”

 

“Sorry to cut in Jill, but we have reports of free French fries coming out of Papa Ginos… and I have to wonder if these are deep fried or baked….”

 

“Jack, a new report confirms. That is a hot dog, I repeat, a hot dog with extra mustard. I just can’t fathom what these people are thinking.”

 

“It’s a travesty what these people eat today. Man I could use a chicken pot pie.”

 

“It’s a sad commentary of the human condition in our post Weight Watcher’s Society… back to you, Jarrod.”
