Laugh Track....Teaching An Old Dog New Tricks

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel: “Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick was spotted where some people would least expect to see him, at a PetSmart in New Jersey taking dog training classes. If you worked at a PetSmart and Michael Vick walked in, you’d think you're on a hidden camera prank show, right? … Apparently, Michael Vick is a third of the way through a six-week training course. Should he be allowed to own another dog? Maybe start him with a Roomba, see how that goes first. When Michael Vick walks into a PetSmart all the dogs are like, ‘Hey, maybe you’d like a cat this time?’ … The TSA made an announcement yesterday that should affect all air travelers. Starting April 25th, passengers will be able to carry small pocket knives, golf clubs, ski poles, pool cues, hockey sticks and Wiffle ball bats onto airplanes for the first time since September 11th. … The TSA said that they're trying to eliminate frequently confiscated objects from their banned items list that don’t pose any real security threat. I’m not sure a golf club doesn’t pose a real security threat. It seems like Tiger Woods’ ex-wife gave us some pretty strong evidence that it is” (“Jimmy Kimmel Live,” ABC, 3/6).
