I live and work about 20 miles from where they're digging, and I know the people that lived in the house for the last 20 years, but no one seems to know why a house in Essexville has any connection to the Teamsters or the Det Mafia. In fact, I've had to explain just who the hell Hoffa is on several occasions now. Consensus around these parts is he's wearing cement shoes at the bottom of the Det river.
It's the worst-kept secret in New Jersey that Jimmy Hoffa now
lies under the end zone at the Meadowlands...
New Jersey joke:
Q: What's the Jimmy Hoffa theme song?
A: The call him Mr. Touchdown...
Forget Hoffa. I always wondered where they buried Frank Fitzsimmons' brain. He never seemed to have it with him.
If the federal government can't find Jimmy Hoffa, I guess we can't expect them to find Osama or Saddam.
Cal:
Osama underwent plastic surgery and was given a new identity in
late 2001. He currently lives in Cleveland, awaiting his next
mission. Probably around October 2004, when Bush is likely to need
him again.
