Let's start this day off right

With a cheap and funny joke

Nagin said he reimbursed the city after The Times-Picayune reported recently that he used his city credit card to take his wife, Seletha, out for a $91.57 anniversary lunch at a posh Uptown restaurant. He told WVUE-TV in an interview that he paid the city back for that meal, but not for two others with his wife totaling more than $80 each.

"One of the things that happens when my wife and I go out, if we're not talking city business, somebody will invariably come up to us, take a seat and join us for lunch, and we'll talk city business. So, to me those are legit." He added, "She's the first lady and she's one of my key advisers and we talk a lot about city business."
