OP by Mira: A Borowitz blip on the Evan Bayh story

Evan Bayh Admits All-Consuming Farmville Addiction
Senator Enters Rehab

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report) -- Just hours after rocking the political world with his surprise retirement announcement, Sen. Evan Bayh (D-Ind) said that he would undergo treatment for an "all-consuming addiction" to the popular Facebook game Farmville.

"I realized that I had to make a choice between being a United States senator and tending my imaginary farm," a tearful Mr. Bayh told reporters. "I had to look at myself in the mirror and acknowledge that I had a problem."

Majority Leader Harry Reid said that he was shocked by Sen. Bayh's admission, adding, "This is all the more surprising because he hails from a farm state, where there are plenty of actual farms he could take care of."


      dixiegrrrrl: 3. Sheep or cow farm, I wonder?


      Individualist: 4. Pig

the baby being fed was of a different race than the parents.

On a thread by NNN0LHI: Anyone still have the canned tuna under your bed that the Bush administration told us to put there?

      dflprincess: 6. The problem is,

if you're trapped and start eating the tuna, how do you get to a doctor to get help for the mercury poisoning you just got from your emergency supplies?

      havocmom: 17. Look on the bright side: No need for a thermometer to check your temp

Eat enough tuna and you ARE the thermometer.

      pipi_k: 7. Not much for canned tuna, but I did put some baked scrod and frozen shrimp under my bed in 2007

The stink finally went away last year.

      katanalori: 10. The tuna was supposed to be CANNED?

OOPS! :banghead:

      Lisa0825: 11. No, my kitties threatened my life if I did not feed it to them.
