See you in 2012!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

“Laws of the Land”

A new law in Utah that takes effect January 1^st will make it illegal for bars to offer “happy hour” drink specials.  Bars are expected to figure out that, since alcohol is a depressant, they can start promoting “unhappy hour” instead.

In Nevada, music therapists now have to be licensed.  But music groupies still just have to be hot.

In Georgia, golf carts taken off the course onto roads have to have brakes, warning devices, and a horn.  Apparently, those loud, golf sweaters just aren’t enough anymore.

All golf cats must be equipped with safety equipment such as back-up warnings, too.  In fact, while golfing, if you hook or slice the ball, you now have to use turn signals.

“Gaga for New Year's’”

ABC announced that Lady Gaga will perform on Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2012.  The only problem is that at midnight Dick Clark may not be able to tell the difference between Gaga and the light-up ball.

There was some confusion over Dick Clark’s personal request for the singer, but it turns out that “gaga” is the only word Dick can say.

Five-foot-one Gaga will be asked not to wear heels so she’ll only be a foot taller than Ryan Seacrest. 

“Engaging Talks”

Sarah Palin told a reporter that she is “engaged” in conversations with her family about whether or not she should run for president in 2012. Still, that doesn’t mean anything; Bristol Palin’s been engaged twice.
