Wisconsin Five-O(prah)

Got pulled over for throwing a banana peel out the window the other day in Washington County, Wisconsin:
COP: “Do you know why you’re being pulled over today?”
BEEDOW: “Uh, no.”
COP: “What did I see you throw out the window back there?"
BEEDOW: “Oh, a banana peel.”
COP: “A banana peel… I’ve got a squad checking it out. You’re telling me he’s going to find a banana peel?”
BEEDOW: “Yes.”
COP: “OK, wait in the car for me.”
We wait in Jonesy [the minivan] for a few minutes. Another squad car arrives. The officers converse.
COP: “OK, he found it. You can go.”

Also, Oprah was a class act on Dave Thursday night. Dave, too, was on his best behavior, giving her majesty many opportunities to talk about "serious topics" like what she's doing to save South Africa. To close the interview, Dave walked Oprah across the street to the theatre for the opening of her musical, The Color Purple. Isn't that something how we're all calling it her musical? Goodness.
