2.        The Secret Service wants to put a second row of spikes on top of the White House fence to discourage intruders.  ***   Unfortunately, because of budget cuts they’ll just be adding two more “Beware of Dog” signs.  (And they still can’t afford the dog.)

7.        McDonald’s has developed a new take-out bag with a bottom portion that serves as a tray when it is detached by pulling off a strip of paper around the bag.  ***  Additionally, that removable strip is marked in inches so you can measure your waistline after the meal.
