JAY LENO’S MONOLOGUE HIGHLIGHTS  THURSDAY, JUNE 10, 2010

ALTHOUGH ARGENTINA IS DOING IT, BUT BRITISH SOCCER PLAYERS HAVE BEEN TOLD TO ABSTAIN FROM SEX DURING THE WORLD CUP. IN FACT, THEIR COACH SAID HE WILL BE "MONITORING THEIR BEHAVIOR THROUGH TVS IN THEIR HOTEL ROOMS." ACTUALLY GOING TO BE WATCHING THEM IN THEIR HOTEL ROOMS.  IT’S TOO BAD THE BRITISH DON'T PAY THIS MUCH ATTENTION TO THEIR OIL WELLS.

SPEAKING OF BP…WHICH, OF COURSE, STANDS FOR “BORN POLLUTERS”…

THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT NOT PAYING PEOPLE.  THEY ARE SPENDING $50 MILLION ON A P.R. CAMPAIGN TO MAKE THEMSELVES LOOK GOOD.  IN FACT, THEY SAID THEY WOULD BE BURNING THE MIDNIGHT OIL, IF THEY HADN’T SPILLED IT.  

ACCORDING TO A NEW REPORT, BP HAS THE WORST SAFETY RECORD OF ALL THE OIL COMPANIES AND HAS PAID $373 MILLION IN FINES.  THEY DON’T CALL THEM FINES; THEY'RE CALLED CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS.  A LITTLE DIFFERENT.

A 41 YEAR OLD WOMAN CAUGHT HAVING SEX IN A PUBLIC PARK IN NEW YORK HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH PUBLIC INDECENCY AND ADULTERY. SHE COULD GO TO JAIL. ADULTERY IS STILL ON THE BOOKS AS ILLEGAL IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK. UNLESS, OF COURSE, YOU'RE GOVERNOR.

HALL AND OATES HAVE CANCELLED AN UPCOMING CONCERT IN ARIZONA TO PROTEST THAT STATE'S NEW IMMIGRATION LAW.  WELL THAT WILL TEACH ARIZONA A LESSON -- LET'S SEE HOW LONG THEY CAN GO WITHOUT HALL AND OATES.

APPARENTLY, HALL AND OATES WERE WORRIED THAT ARIZONA AUTHORITIES WOULD MAKE THEM GO BACK WHERE THEY CAME FROM -- THE 70'S.

ACCORDING TO A SURVEY OF MEN. LISTEN TO THIS LADIES; THE NUMBER ONE THING GUYS FIND ATTRACTED IN A WOMAN IS CONFIDENCE. MEN LOVE CONFIDENT WOMEN. UNLESS THE WOMAN SHOOTS THEM DOWN BECAUSE THEY'RE CONFIDENT THEY CAN DO BETTER.  THEN THEY HATE IT.
