Bush joke may not be hilarious but...

Recommended Posts

How many members of the Bush Administration are needed to change a

lightbulb?

 

The Answer is SEVEN:

 

(1) one to deny that a lightbulb needs to be replaced.

 

(2) one to attack and question the patriotism of anyone who has

questions about the lightbulb.

 

(3) one to blame the previous administration for the need of a new

lightbulb,

 

(4) one to arrange the invasion of a country rumored to have a secret

stockpile of lightbulbs,

 

(5) one to get together with Vice President Cheney and figure out how to

pay Halliburton Industries one million dollars for a lightbulb,

 

(6) one to arrange a photo-op session showing Bush changing the

lightbulb while dressed in a flight suit and wrapped in an American

flag,

 

(7) and finally one to explain to Bush the difference between screwing a

lightbulb and screwing the country.

Am I the only one that finds it unnecessary to quote the first post when the quoter's post is the second one in the thread? If the reader can't figure out what the response is to, they have bigger issues than can be resolved on a message board.

Said the man who quoted the first two posts with his third post.

 

KUDOS.

Yeah, but I prefer to do it all over your face.

Well, I guess if that was the way your mother raised you, it is the only way you'd know to act.

Mike ... please don't tell me that you don't udnerstand that I quoted your post on purpose. Was it too subtle? Should I have not quoted it and said "it'd be as annoying as if I quoted Mike's post in this one"? Just saying how obnoxious it is is one thing; showing how obnoxious it is is another.

 

I'm a conservative and yet I find myself rooting for the liberals in a lot of these threads. Job well done, Mike.

Oh, I'm sorry.

 

You apparently mistook me for somebody who cared what you thought.

 

I will, in the future, attempt to remove that misconception from you.

While I appreciate the efforts and apology, Mike, and I do recognize that you really don't give a shit what I think, I must ask: what exactly does that last sentence mean?

 

"I will, in the future, attempt to remove that misconception from you." - wouldn't it be ME that had to remove a misconception, for it was I that had erroneously thought that you gave a shit what I thought? How are you going to remove one of my misconceptions? (it doesn't involve any torture or brain-washing, does it? because I'm really against the idea of being tortured or force to re-learn how to think and whatnot). Maybe if you'd said that you would remove a misconception for me, rather than from me, it'd have made sense, but even that is iffy. Methinks your quest to use big words caused your original thoughts to be lost in translation.

 

And I can't stress this enough, a big thank you for your heart-felt apology.

That, apparently, at some point I gave you this vibe that your opinion means a damned thing to me. I am now working harder than ever to make sure you are aware of how little your opinions mean to me.

"I will, in the future, attempt to remove that misconception from you." - wouldn't it be ME that had to remove a misconception, for it was I that had erroneously thought that you gave a shit what I thought?

I blame myself for your misconception. I will try harder, once again, to make sure that your irrelevancy to me is never again forgotten.

Actually, I tried using smaller words so you could keep up.

And I can't stress this enough, a big thank you for your heart-felt apology.

I do what I can. :cheers:

Both Mike and nl got whooshed pretty hard.

 

Is this how you kids fight it out in CE?

We don't have a wealth of insanely lame pics to add.

-=Mike

...And is there anything sadder than "whoosh"?

No Mike I'd say you guys can cover for the insanely lame pics most of the time.

We can only strive to hit the level of inanity that is this board.

Again, Mike, I find myself owing you a big thank you ... going out of your way to use small words so a simpleton like me can understand. If only everyone was this kind, the world would be a better place.

 

I blame myself for your misconception. I will try harder, once again, to make sure that your irrelevancy to me is never again forgotten.

Seeing as we're both reasonably smart people, do I need to point out that it's pretty funny that you'd spend even a little time posting about how irrelevant I am? I tend to, you know, ignore those that I find irrelevant. Put, again, I'm evidently pretty stupid, so what do I know? (and, if you truly wanted to let me know how little my opinions meant to you, not responding to my posts would have been a much better way)

 

And, thumbtack, this is actually one of my first CE fights, so I'm probably not the best person to answer your inquiry. However, having said all that, if this is indicative of how much fun they are, this also might be one of my last CE fights.

I try to avoid CE fights and attempt to post relevant and informative articles and discussions. Of course with Mike and some other, less notable, posters around its an uphill battle.

Seeing as how I seldom deal with you --- your comment seems to be quite out of left field.

 

You've actually slammed me a few times as of late, with absolutely no provocation from me.

 

Trying to usurp the role of bitchy "Can't we all get along" guy?
