ROTFLMAO
Because I'm not clever enough to work for Jon Stewart, I can't say why the Brooklyn House of Detention story in today's Times is so delectable. Humor is a lot like sex, and this story is just today's perfect pinup. I don't recall having seen Paul von Zielbauer's byline before, but I think that he should be working for Campbell Robertson, the "Boldface" genius. Consider:
Other neighbors said they worried about shopping under a jail tower packed with criminal suspects. Correction officials, however, said the retail area would be securely separated from the inmate section of the jail. Inmates are not evident to the public; they arrive at the jail in buses that enter the bowels of the complex through a gate.
Bowels! This story has everything. And, you have to admit, "criminal suspects" creaks with suppressed laughter.
