PETER SAGAL, HOST:
Right now, panel, time for you to answer some questions from this week's news.
Maz, the town of Littleton, Colo., has come up with a unique solution to the problem of cracked pavement on their roads by filling potholes with what?
MAZ JOBRANI: It's a unique thing. You know, it's been so hard to find other news this week.
AMY DICKINSON: I know.
SAGAL: I know.
JOBRANI: It really has. So how about a hint?
SAGAL: They didn't have the money in the road budget for two-ply.
JOBRANI: So toilet paper.
SAGAL: Yeah, toilet paper.
(SOUNDBITE OF BELL)
JOBRANI: Beautiful.
SAGAL: While the headline, "Toilet Paper Used On Crack" might not seem that newsworthy...
(LAUGHTER)
SAGAL: ...In the town of Littleton, Colo., they're using TP to cover up fissures in the asphalt.
DICKINSON: I...
JOBRANI: Did you just say...
(LAUGHTER)
SAGAL: Yeah, fissures right there in the asphalt.
DICKINSON: I love it. That just made me so happy (laughter).
SAGAL: Aren't these jokes hilarious this week?
(LAUGHTER)
JOBRANI: Yes.
DICKINSON: They're so funny.
JOBRANI: We're really approaching this week like it's the last show because it might be.
SAGAL: Yeah.
(LAUGHTER)
LUKE BURBANK: Do they buttress it against it?
JOBRANI: Oh.
(LAUGHTER)
SAGAL: Well, you don't want the cars to bottom out so...
(LAUGHTER)
BURBANK: 'Cause that'll leave a skid mark.
(LAUGHTER)
JOBRANI: We're going down a deep hole.
SAGAL: I know.
(LAUGHTER)
DICKINSON: Oh, my God.
JOBRANI: That's the America I like.
SAGAL: I know.
(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "WHY DON'T WE DO IT IN THE ROAD?")
THE BEATLES: (Singing) Why don't we do it in the road? Why don't we do it in the road?
