Did You Hear The One About...

Hello My Dear Friends! You'll have to excuse me for rolling on the floor but I just can't help myself! Did you hear the one about the delusional lunatic who stood right beside some of the most important and powerful dignitaries in the world and pretended to sign what they were saying? OMG! I'm sorry. I'm rolling again! Thamsanqa Jantjie stood beside President Obama and other world leaders on stage as they eulogized Nelson Mandela moving his hands as if to sign for the deaf. Turns out he was just flailing about, signing gibberish. LOL! That certainly gives "secret service" new meaning. It gets better. He wasn't actually "faking" sign language. Mr. Jantjie told a South African newspaper that he was in the midst of a schizophrenic episode at the time, hallucinating and hearing voices. Unfortunately, they weren't the same voices everyone else was hearing. They were ANGELS! I know, right. He also confessed that, in the past, he had been violent and was hospitalized in a mental health facility for over a year. That's some screening process they have there in Johannesburg! Everyone is passing the buck as to whom actually hired Mr. Jantjie. He was paid about $85 for the event. An investigation is underway. I'm sure Al Qaeda leaders are thrilled to hear that the United States trusts host nations with screening the President's security abroad. Perhaps Julia Pierson, Director of the United States Secret Service, should take a refresher course on her job duties. Allow me to offer a suggestion. Ms. Pierson, in the future, you may want to prevent violent schizophrenics from getting this close to the President of the United States.

That is assuming you'll still be holding that position in the future!
