introducing levity into the elections

[JoB]

An old country Preacher had a teenage son, and it was getting time the boy should give some thought to choosing a profession.

Like many young men, the boy didn’t really know what he wanted to do, and he didn’t seem too concerned about it.

One day, while the boy was away at school, his father decided to try an experiment. He went into the boy’s room and placed on his study table four objects:

– a Bible,

– a Silver Dollar,

– a bottle of Whiskey, and

– a Playboy magazine

“I’ll just hide behind the door,” the old Preacher said to himself. “When he comes home from school this afternoon, I’ll see which object he picks up. If it’s the Bible, he’s going to be a Preacher like me, and what a blessing that would be! If he picks up the dollar, he’s going to be a Businessman, and that would be okay, too. But if he picks up the bottle, he’s going to be a no-good drunkard, and, Lord, what a shame that would be. And worst of all, if he picks up that magazine he’s gonna be a skirt-chasin’ bum.”

The old man waited anxiously, and soon heard his son’s footsteps as he entered the house whistling and headed for his room. The boy tossed his books on the bed, and as he turned to leave the room he spotted the objects on the table.

With curiosity in his eye, he walked over to inspect them.

Finally, he picked up the Bible and placed it under his arm. He picked up the silver dollar and dropped it into his pocket. He uncorked the bottle and took a big drink while he admired this month’s Centerfold.

“Lord have Mercy,” the old preacher disgustedly whispered, “he’s gonna run for Congress!

this came in my mailbox today…

i hesitated to post the link.. but will do so with cautions…

the language in this link is offensive…

i am not sure some of the subject matter or the characters are much better…

there is plenty to offend most republicans and more than a few democrats too…

but it is soooo well done…

and appropriate to today’s discussions…

so those of you with a twisted sense of humor.. enjoy:)

This exchange came from my Republican brother… returned by one of his not so republican friends… enjoy..

Subject: The Irish are such clear thinkers

The Irish are such clear thinkers:

“We, in Ireland, can’t figure out why you are even bothering to hold an election in the United States

On one side, you have a witch who is a lawyer, married to a lawyer, running against a lawyer who is married to a witch who is a lawyer.

On the other side, you have a war hero married to a good looking rich woman who owns a beer distributorship.

What are you lads thinking over there?”

answer

Let me translate for your Irish friends:

God Bless the Irish – they make great potato soup, they have clever Irish Songs (like No Nay Never – which was meant to mean Don’t frickin vote for another Republican), and they can drink like fish (a quality that has not led to very many good choices as I’m sure 20+ years on the police force will prove).

So the proper translation of this Irish Gobble a Goush is:

On one side you have an educated inspirational multi-ethnic articulate candidate who has a free thinking spirited educated wife. A person who wants to return the USA to the super power it once was in the world through dialogue, coalition and peace.

On the other side you have a decorated war veteran who is so old and senile that he can’t seem to remember that the war we are in is amazingly similar to the last war we lost (and he was in), that killed over 58, 000 young Americans, wounded over 150,000 young Americans, left the US vulnerable (meaning other gorilla armies saw our vulnerability), and he’s married to hot wife who is addicted to pain medications and inherited a fortune that she never had to work for.

I personally think his democratic friend was too hard on the irish ;-)
