Official Inane Statement of the Week
How many times have you seen or heard an official, usually of law enforcement nature, blab out some official sounding statement at the scene of an accident or natural disaster? For example, after Hurricane Katrina flooded New Orleans a FEMA executive might have said, "At this time none of the residents are able to drive, except for boats." Doesn't quite make sense, does it? Well, here's the one I found this morning at News of the Weird, about a truck containing 165,000 eggs that turned over in Northern Virginia:

"It looked like a large omelet," said Michael Karbonski, of the Virginia Department of Transportation.

Okay, the DOT official pulls up in his company car, jumps out and instantly a microphone is stuck in his face. I'm sorry, but 165,000 cracked eggs lying in the road does not in any way resemble an omelet. An omelet is fluffy and yellow and has cheese, bacon, or other stuff inside.
So what was he thinking? Maybe he had to leave the Waffle House in too big a hurry.

But thank goodness for VDOT spokeswoman Joan Morris, who arrived later and stated the eggs made their way to a drainage ditch, creating "a river of yellow yolk." Yeah, I can live with a river of yellow yolk. But I bet you can't say...

RIVER OF YELLOW YOLK
RIVER OF YELLOW YOLK
RIVER OF YELLOW YOLK
