NEWS FLASH from the NATION'S CAPITOL - about CHENEY

Medal of Freedom Candidate

WASHINGTON, D.C. - A white house source stated that Congress is considering awarding Vice-President Dick Cheney the Medal of Freedom, the national highest civilian commendation, for his act of bravery in shooting an attorney. The source was quoted to say "All Americans have wanted to shoot a lawyer at one time or another and Cheney actually had the balls to do it."


In a related story, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, which issues hunting licenses, said that it will start requiring hunters, wishing to bag a lawyer, to have the new "lawyer's stamp" on their hunting license. Currently Texas hunters are required to carry stamps for hunting birds, deer, and bear, at a cost of $7 annually. he new "lawyers stamp" will cost $100, but the season will be open all year long.


The department further stated that although the "lawyers stamp" comes at hefty price, sales have been brisk and it is believed it will generate annual revenues in excess of $3 billion dollars the first year. Other states are considering similar hunting license stamps

1. lol

:rofl:

[aquart]

2. I don't like being tricked into opening a thread.

There's really too much reading I have to do, to waste that precious time.

[Why Syzygy]

3. Take some of that precious time

and laugh a little. That was funny. DU is famous for funny. If you don't want to laugh, well I don't know how you can stop yourself. ps. I hope you are kidding.

9. No. I was not.

I don't have a problem with humor or satire. I have a problem with false posts and deliberate tricks to make me read what I might otherwise not bother with.

There is tonnage to read these days to even barely keep up. Opening phony headlines may be fine for you, but it adds stress for me.

I guess I've never been attention-seeking enough to do a fake post.

11. Oh for heaven's sake.. lighten up. You sound like a Republican

[PCIntern]

4. Vaguely agree...

also, old joke reworked.

But who am I to criticize? I've done some dopey things with subject lines...only got sent to the Lounge once and THAT one I thought belonged in GD...but I bow to extreme authority, his/her Eminence the Moderator...

[MissMarple]

7. Clue. This is GD not LBN.

:) However, perhaps being placed in the Lounge would have made it perfectly clear that the post was a spoof.

[aquart]

10. Wouldn't it, though?

As for the clue of GD, news that doesn't meet the strict rules of LBN is frequently posted in GD.

This poster used flat trickery and I think it sucks. There has been a huge amount of this lately.

If he didn't think he could get a reader honestly, he should have reconsidered posting at all.

12. Then explain why there are 3 votes for this for the greatest page.

Lighten up. Your underwear is on a little too tight.

[aquart]

13. Better solution. Ignore

[Mnemosyne]

14. And yet with so little of your "precious" time to waste you

made 4 replies in this thread just to put down a dear man that was trying to bring some levity to our lives.

What a sad life you must lead that you have nothing better to do than belittle someone with a kind heart that put his talent into something everyone could enjoy. I am so sorry.

Sounds like you need a little laughter in your life if a simple post can set you off this badly. Take a break and relax.

In hope of peace,
V

5. Excellent idea

Way too many lawyers. Need to thin out the herd before they starve to death.

[bahrbearian]

6. Well it was pre-emptive , Harry had a gun too!

[cliss]

8. Heh

I know it must be galling for Cheney that he is now the "Cannon Fodder" for endless jokes on the night shows. Cheney is getting "peppered" with jokes about shooting an attorney.

I'm "aiming" to squeeze some more fun out of this, at Dick's expense.

15. It is 4:30a.m.

It is wonderful to start my day with a good gafaw and chuckle. Although my son is in law school, so this is a little close to home, if we can't find something to laugh about, we will all go crazy. I appreciate your humor, BigBearJohn, keep it up!

[Mnemosyne]

16. This is great John! sorry I missed it yesterday.

I love satire about the best of any form of comedy. You definitely have a knack!:rofl:

A friend and I go for rides and make up parody songs some weekends. Boy do we get crude at times! A sailor would :blush:

Please don't let grumpy people discourage you from future attempts. Obviously others appreciate your talent, it's on the Greatest page!!:toast:

We need these kind of posts to help us keep our sanity. It's a harsh world with not much hope for now, and anything that can give us a grin or an outright belly laugh is welcomed with open arms by most on this board.:yourock:

Some people will always be the turd in the punch bowl. It makes them feel superior somehow.:crazy: :silly:


In hope of peace my dear brother,:hug: :loveya:

17. You are the sunshine of my life, dearheart!!!

[Mnemosyne]

19. That is what your friends are for dearest one!

:hug: and another cause sometimes one isn't enough!:hug:

18. CORRECTION...Lawyer's stamp is $100/HOUR

Just to maintain symmetry.

(Getting involved with lawyers is always expensive, don'cha know.)

[oblivious]

20. It's not clear from this how many you are allowed to bag per day.

I think there should be a maximum of 70 per hunter per day.
