On my way home for work the other day with my top down, a lady in a car with California plates tried to get my attention. I turned down the Field Mice and she asked, “Where’s the nearest Starbucks?”

“I have no idea.”

“What??? You don’t drink coffee??????”

“Uh, I do, just not Starbucks.”

She sped off, with a look of disbelief.

I feel sorry for the Gores, but I had to laugh out loud at the title of this article.

The best part?

The 24-year-old son of former Vice President Al Gore was arrested for drug possession on Wednesday after he was stopped for speeding in his hybrid Toyota Prius, a sheriff’s official said.

Al Gore III was driving his environmentally friendly car at about 100 miles per hour on a freeway south of Los Angeles when he was pulled over by an Orange County sheriff’s deputy at about 2:15 a.m.

I didn’t even know Priuses could go that fast.

Apparently, women don’t talk all that much more than men do after all.

Researchers set out to challenge the findings in a recent book written by a noted neuropsychiatrist that “a woman uses about 20,000 words a day, while a man uses only about 7,000.”

In a series of studies conducted over six years, they recorded the conversations of nearly 400 U.S. and Mexican male and female university students.

The results: women spoke a daily average of 16,215 words during their waking hours, versus an average of 15,669 words for men.

It was probably funnier in person.
