Miller Quotables for the Week of May 3-6, 2005
5/6/05
Seven Arab men have filed a discrimination lawsuit against the owner of
a Denny's in Florida claiming they were harassed, humiliated, and refused
service. A spokesperson for Denny's immediately apologized, explaining
that they thought the men were black.
The prosecution in the Michael Jackson trial announced that they will
rest their case this week. Meanwhile, Michael prepared to mount his
defense. Literally.
John Mason, the Georgia man whose bride-to-be, Jennifer Wilbanks, faked
her own abduction to skip out on their wedding, says he still wants to
marry Jennifer. The jilted groom, Mason, even changed the song for the
happy couple's first dance to the classic hit, "Have You Seen
Her?"
The price of gas is so high, when you ask for premium, a tuxedoed
waiter runs out with a selection of French cheeses and inquires if you'd
care to sniff the nozzle first.
Abu Farraj al-Libbi, the #3 man in al-Qaeda, has been captured in
Pakistan. Al-Libbi will now be brought back to Georgia to marry his
fiancé.
At the Michael Jackson trial on Tuesday, a forensic accountant
testified that the pop star is spending nearly $30 million more per year
than he earns. Hey, if you needed a new face every time you sneezed, you'd
have money trouble too.
The upcoming reality series featuring Britney Spears and her husband
Kevin Federline now has a title, "Britney and Kevin: Chaotic."
The name was chosen over the other title being considered, "Alright
Kevin, Where's My Checkbook?"
On Wednesday, President Bush poked fun at himself for holding the White
House's Cinco De Mayo celebration a day early on May 4th instead of May
5th. Unfortunately, the event was marred when Attorney General Alberto
Gonzalez had one too many shots of tequila, re-enacted his 1963 illegal
border crossing, and was deported.
In case you didn't know, Cinco de Mayo marks the time Mexican troops
defeated the French army back in 1862. Which, by the way, also marks the
last time defeating the French in battle was considered a feat worthy of a
holiday.
This week, Bill Gates and the president of Ford Motor Co. announced
plans to develop software that could one day create a car that won't let
itself crash. Hearing the news, Billy Joel responded, "I'll drink to
that!"
