WASHINGTONSaying he would make a killing while catching rays, Vice President Joe Biden confirmed Friday he had lined up a totally sweet summer gig installing above-ground pools around the D.C. metro area. Its gonna kick assthree whole months of workin on my tan, crankin tunes on my boombox, and bird-doggin bored housewives, said Biden, adding that his buddy Thomas Lil Loco Perez hooked him up with the plum job in which you can totally get away with smoking up while on the clock. I dont know dick about pools, but make no mistake, Uncle Joe can figure out that shit. Theyve got me in charge of my own crew, so I dont really have to do jack. Plus, I can haul around all the pool junk in this rusty-ass, loud-as-fuck pickup truck I borrowed. Its gonna be a bitchin summer. Biden told reporters that he pulled a few strings to get paid under the table until he cleared up some tax bullshit, explaining that any wages on the books would be garnished by those IRS fuckers.

(59,578 posts)Shirtless Biden Washes Trans Am In White House Driveway
WASHINGTONTaking advantage of the warm spring weather Monday, Vice President Joe Biden parked his 1981 Trans Am in the White House driveway, removed his undershirt, and spent a leisurely afternoon washing the muscle car and drinking beer.
"This baby just needs a little scrub down," said Biden, addressing a tour group as he tucked the sweat-covered top into the belt loop of his cutoff jean shorts. "Gotta get her looking good so I can impress the chicks when I'm cruising down Pennsylvania [Avenue]."
White House aides said that Biden pulled into the driveway shortly before noon, the chorus of Night Ranger's " You Can Still) Rock In America" blaring from his car's stereo. According to witnesses, Biden spent several minutes maneuvering the Trans Am into the perfect spot, and was observed drumming his fingers on the steering wheel until the song came to a close.
The shirtless 66-year-old then entered the executive residence and greeted employees with a round of high fives and a variety of nicknames.
