More jibba-jabba


Posted at 12:01 am

The national unemployment rate has hit double digits for the first time since 1983, when a nightclub bouncer-turned-actor named Mr. T took the nation by storm on the hit TV series “The A Team.”

In a related development, Mr. T on Friday formally added “people looking for jobs” to his official list of fools to be pitied.

It'll do 35 mph on the freeway: A 1965 Volkswagen van that was stolen 35 years ago in Spokane recently turned up in a shipping container on the Los Angeles waterfront.

Officials can't find the original owner. He or she is likely in hiding, scared to death at the thought of having to actually drive a '65 VW van, a vehicle in which the driver's sternum is the crumple zone.

DMV frequent flier: A South Korean woman finally passed the written test for a driver's license — on her 950th attempt.

But don't hand over the keys to the Daewoo Nubira just yet — she still must take and pass the behind-the-wheel test. Vegas oddsmakers estimate she will require 12,436 attempts to successfully parallel park.
