If a Trie surrenders during a sex scandal, does he make
a sound?" (Daily Scoop)
* McJunk: Americans can now join a Junk Food of the Month Club.
"So far, it's not doing too well. Customers are too lazy
to get off the couch and pick up the UPS delivery at
the door." (Paul Steinberg)
* Ear Patrol: Mike Tyson allegedly beat up promoter Don King.
"But King wasn't hurt. His hair broke his fall." (Paul Ecker)

champions in college, neither can explain the stains on their
clothes and both have sore knees." (Jay Leno)

for the first time since the bashing incident. "Nancy had the
most famous knees in the world until Lewinsky came along."
