    Ha - "Take the Kennedy Bridge" - that's a phrase sure to bring laughter.

    Slappy better read up on Bobby Kennedy and the Teamsters

    Apparently the Toll booth is in honor of Teddy Kennedy, it's a three drink minimum

    I always find it funny that the rest areas on the Jersey Turnpike are all named for famous people. Of all the things to get named after, a famous person like Molly Pitcher gets a building with bathrooms.

    The Verrazano Narrows Bridge was almost named for JFK, but instead they renamed Idlewild Airport for him (with the cooperation of RFK).
