News, but not the serious kind
And the Rockettes’ red glare…

Confidential memo to Radio City Music Hall staff:
This is going to be a bleak holiday season, and we need to cut costs. I hate to do it, but we’re going to outsource the Rockettes for our Christmas Spectacular.
We’ve hired a troupe of dancing policemen in China, and as you can see in this photo below, they are already in rehearsal. We can get four million of them for a tiny fraction of what we pay the real Rockettes.
The only downside is that it takes nine hours for all of them to dance across the stage, so we can expect to have some pretty unhappy children. But then again, these ARE police, so any crowd control problem practically solves itself.
Turn the economy around. Join the Oddly Enough blog network!

Sooo, the bottom picture is tryouts for the new Rocketts all male troupe?
Yes, all policeman should know this move – it’s designed to disable terrorists by rendering a crippling blow to the crotch. But what about female terrorists? Huh?
Just a quick question here. Couldn’t you have reversed the sizes of these pictures?
You know you’re not funny right?
Bill,
Of course.
Would the opening of the Christmas Spectacular be pre-recorded with a cute but lip-syncing singer?
Everybody was Kung Fu Fighting….
