< TRIBUTE TO A FALLEN HERO
===========================
<
HARRISBURG, Pa. (Rueters) -- All
traffic in Pennsylvania will stop abruptly
for four-five minutes on Thursday while
Ed Conrad is slowly being lowered
into his grave.
<
"It's the least the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania can do for one of its
own, a true American hero," said Gov.
Tom Corbett. "After all, Ed contributed
more to mankind than Copernicus, Plato,
Galileo and Mike Tyson lumped together."
<
For those who aren't up to date on
Facebook, Twitter and Google Groups,
Ed has the physical evidence that
MAN IS AS OLD AS COAL and also
has a sh*tload of undisputed proof
that THERE IS LIFE AFTER DEATH.
<
"Stopping traffic for four-five minutes
statewide -- especially on the Schuylkill
Expressway in Philadelphia -- is the
least we can do to show our respect,"
added Corbett.
<
The state Highway Safety Network
is asking all motorists who'll be on
the road between 8 and 9:30 a.m. or
between 4 and 6 p.m. on Thursday
to wear watches or have their car
radios tuned to a station that always
has the right time.
<
When pallbearers are about to
lower poor Ed into the cold, cold
round, the exact time of the highway
shutdown will be announced
immediately and all traffic in Penna.
must stop -- even if you are just
driving thru Penna. to Florida or
Quebec.
<
ALL TRAFFIC MUST STOP and
the State Police will accept NO
EXCUSES.
<
Motorists will have a warning of
20 to 25 seconds to react, which
highway safety experts say should
be more than sufficient.
<
IF you're driving in heavy traffic
on the Schuylkill Expressway, for
example, please pay strict attention
to the shutdown and pull over quick
as you can -- even if you're in the
passing lane -- or you may cause
a whale of a collision and maybe
meet St. Peter a lot earlier than
you expeced.
<
Pray that your "whale of a collision"
-- Truth vs. Bullsh*t -- isn't as bad as
this one.

Rumors that Governor Corbett is
doing this strictly to increase his
chance of re-election are completely
unfounded.
