If You Don't Want to Know, Don't Ask

America's mayor, Oscar Goodman of Las Vegas, recently visited some 4th graders at Mackey Elementary School.

After reading to the class, one student asked Mayor Goodman if he could take one thing with him on a deserted island, what would it be. The Mayor replied that it would be a bottle of gin. And when a student later asked Mayor Goodman what one of his hobbies was, the Mayor said "drinking."

Asked about it later, Goodman told the Las Vegas Sun: "I'm the George Washington of mayors. I can't tell a lie." (Link via Rob McMillin).
