Tobacco Avenue broke this story a couple of weeks ago, but I've yet to see anything in the Times-Dispatch or Style Weekly about it. What do we really know about this John L. Warren character? Is his competence making others ROFL or ROFLing himself?
City officials today named the first Chief Administrative Rolling On Floor Laughing Officer, charged with ensuring that Richmond residents are provided with a dose of laughter each day – particularly while rolling on the floor, if the situation is humorous enough.
John L. Warren, who came to Richmond from Louisville, Ky. after serving for three years as its CALOLO, will move into his position as CAROFLO effective July 1. The position, which requires creating circumstances that result in uproarious laughter for city residents, will earn him $60,000 a year.
While Richmond has long had a CIO and CTO – along with a newly-appointed CAO - the CAROFLO will focus on generating ample opportunities for LOLs, C[huckle]OLs, LMAOs and the highly-rare ROFLMAO for citizens of all racial and economic backgrounds.
