Booze, bulls and gypsies*

PAMPLONA, SPAIN (AP) - Saturday "was the worst day for injuries in the nine-day San Fermin festival."

Police arrested 125 people during this year’s reverie, compared to 60 last year, the government said. Forty-seven arrests were for theft, with the majority of pickpocketers coming from one country: Romania.

*Or the fascinating and exotic Roma, for PC types.

Gen-X Contest: and the Winner is....

A gentleman named Ray Steib, who wins for attitude and phrasing.

"How many Generation X associate lawyers does it take to screw in a light bulb?"

Answer: "That is an impossible question, because screwing in a light bulb is manual labor and Gen X associates would rather sit in the dark than get up off their lazy asses and get their hands dirty."

Well done, Ray. (Pat Lamb was runner-up with: "One. The person holds the light bulb while the universe revolves around them.")
