A driver is stuck in a traffic jam going into downtown Chicago .

Nothing is moving north or south.

Suddenly a man knocks on his window.

The driver rolls down his window and asks, 'What happened, what's

the hold up?'

'Terrorists have kidnapped Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Oprah

Winfrey, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Rosie O'Donnell, Jesse Jackson

and Al Sharpton.

They are asking for a $10 Million ransom. Otherwise, they are going

to douse them with gasoline and set them on fire. We are going from

car to car, taking up a collection.'

The driver asks, 'On average, how much is everyone giving?'

'About a gallon'
