Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley, on his way home from
work at City Hall, came to a dead halt in traffic on the Dan Ryan
Expressway
and thought to himself, "Wow, this traffic seems worse than usual.
Nothing's
moving at all."

He noticed a State Trooper walking back and forth
between the lines of cars, so he rolled down his window and asked,
"Officer, I'm
Mayor Richard M. Daley, what's the problem; what's holding everything
up."

The trooper replied, "It's the Reverend Jackson. He's
so depressed about the thought of everyone knowing about his
extra-martial
affair and his illegitimate child, that he stopped his car in the
middle of the Dan Ryan Expressway and is threatening to douse himself
with
gasoline and set himself on fire. He says the country and his
congregation are
blaming him for his infidelity and doesn't know if he can live with the
shame and embarrassment.

The people in the halted cars along the expressway are
taking up a collection for him." "Oh really," replied Mayor Daley.
"How
much have they
collected for the Reverend Jackson so far?"

"About 300 gallons," said the trooper, "but they are
still siphoning"
