Everyone is in a hurry to scream \”racism\” these days!

\”In what aisle could I find the Polish sausage?\” The clerk looks at him and says, \”Are you Polish?\”

The guy (clearly offended) says, \”Well, yes I am. But let me ask you something.\” If I had asked for Italian sausage, would you ask me if I was Italian? Or if I had asked for German bratwurst, would you ask me if I was German? Or if I asked for a kosher hot dog, would you ask me if I was Jewish? Or if I had asked for a Taco, would you ask if I was Mexican? Would you?\”

The clerk says, \”Well, no!\”

\”If I asked for some Irish whiskey, would you ask if I was Irish?\” \”Well, I probably wouldn\’t!\”

With deep self-righteous indignation, the guy says, \”Well then, why did you ask me if I\’m Polish because I asked for Polish sausage?\”

The clerk replies, \”Because you\’re at Home Depot.\”

Saturday will see the Cumberland County Delaware Bay Fishing Tournament be held out of both Fortescue and Port Norris. The opening gun will be sounded at 8 a.m., at which time the boats assembled will race for their favorite spot on the bay.

This derby was originally labeled the Cumberland County Weakfish Tournament, but as the weakfish population has declined dramatically, the sponsoring Cumberland County Recreation Commission has made big changes that include other species. continues

One of the schools targeted for extra funding would be Brooklawn….

FREEHOLD – Three state legislators are still working to secure the funds necessary to give Freehold Borough public school children a thorough and efficient (T&E) education.

According to figures provided by borough school administrators, the borough is spending significantly less per pupil than what state education officials say is necessary to provide a through and efficient education.

The effort to get more money to the school district is taking place now as the state Senate and Assembly are working to develop a budget for the coming fiscal year.

State Sen. Ellen Karcher (D-Monmouth and Mercer), Assemblyman Michael Panter (D-Monmouth and Mercer) and Assemblywoman Jennifer Beck (R-Monmouth and Mercer) are working to do what parents and school administrators have not been able to muster on their own – acquire the funds necessary to have the children of the borough stand alongside their counterparts in surrounding school districts on equal footing.

According to Beck, the 12 school districts that would receive extra financial assistance under her proposal are Hamilton Township (Atlantic County), Hammonton, Brooklawn, Clementon, Woodlynne, Commercial Township, Freehold Borough, Lawrence Township (Cumberland County), Guttenberg, South River, Prospect Park and Greenwich Township (Warren County).
