Toying With Us
We here at Scoop hate boring government meetings as much as the next guy, and on Monday, it was nice to see Mayor Keith Holliday, um, spice things up.
As Holliday recited the rules of conduct for the meeting, which includes a friendly reminder for visitors, a verbal fart left the happy-go-lucky politician almost as red as the carpet in the council chamber.
"At this time, I would ask anyone in the audience who has a cell phone or vibrator to please...," Holliday said before catching himself mid sentence. "Excuse me, not a vibrator!"
The room erupted with laughter. "I'll get this right in a second!" the mayor piped up as someone handed him a water bottle. "I'm at an end to my tenure, so it's OK! Anyone who has a cell phone or a pager, please turn it to the vibrating mode, or turn it off."
"Lastly, depending on the overall length of tonight's meeting...," Holliday said, his voice trailing off as he looked to the media table. "I can see this is going into Scoop."
You got that right, Mayor Freud.
