Hat Rack
Was skimming CNN and came across this article.
Apparently, referring to graffiti artists, the mayor of Las Vegas on a tv talk show said "I'm saying maybe you put them on TV and cut off a thumb... that may be the right thing to do."
To which another panelist on the same TV show suggested that the mayor should "use his head for something other than a hat rack."
Maybe it's just a dated joke, but I thought that was pretty darn funny. I can't wait for someone wearing a hat to say something stupid to me. How long could that possibly take?

Oscar Goodman, the mayor who made this particular enlightened remark about grafitti artists, is an alumnus of Haverford College, the school for which I work. He was also once--and I know you'll find this completely shocking--a lawyer for the mob. Not exactly the career path one anticipates for the graduate of a Quaker college.
A Jesuit school, on the other hand...
Well, as a lawyer for the mob perhaps he really wasn't kidding about all the thumb-ectomies...
