'No Inside-Out PJs' Edict Issued By Ocean County Prosecutor

TOMS RIVER, NJ — Enough already. Enough shoveling. Enough scraping. No. More. Snow.

As yet another nor'easter bears down on New Jersey and threatens to dump a foot of the white stuff on the state, the Ocean County Prosecutor's Office has a message for all the youngsters out there hoping for another day off from school.

"No inside/out backwards PJs, no spoons under pillows, no snow dances," the prosecutor's office said in a post on Facebook. No "white crayons in the freezer, ice cubes on the porch or in the toilet, or running around the dining table 5 times tonite!"

"Have we missed anything?" they said.

"Dear Moms and Dads, we here at the OCPO have your back. Enough snow days already," Al Della Fave, spokesman for the prosecutor, said after issuing the edict on behalf of the office. "Yes it is tempting to support your children. I confess to joining my daughter in wearing our underwear on my head back in her TR East elementary days, but please fight that urge tonight at all costs."

Della Fave said they were getting ready to issue the statement when Holmdel Superintendent Dr. Robert McGarry tweeted the same thing. "Great minds think alike," he said.

The edicts may be a little too late: The National Weather Service says we could be in for a doozy, despite the calendar's declaration of spring. Just pray it thaws quickly. It's time to go fishing!
