The Secret CP7 Greeting

]]> You’re walking down the street, into a crowded room, etc. when you notice someone intently looking your way. Hmm, is it your Seminoles shirt? Or do you need to zip up your fly? After checking downstairs, you look back at the person and that’s when you see it. He/she gives you the secret CP7 greeting!

So, remember next time – when in doubt of being in the presence of friend or foe, just stand tall and point that left index finger to the sky. It won’t be secret much longer.

Who should replace Helen Thomas?

]]> There’s a conspicuously empty seat front and center at the WH press room. Who will get to occupy that well-used chair?

My first pick would be a beer keg. The beer summit was such a roaring success, why not beer briefings?

Justin Bieber – There’s probably no better way to get America’s youth interested in the daily press briefings.

Sarah Palin – Love her or hate her, we all enjoy a good fireworks show. Bonus: she does have a journalism degree.

Mel Gibson – In full-on Jerry Fletcher (Conspiracy Theory) mode.

Ted Nugent – For pre and post-briefing entertainment.

The Verizon Wireless dude – You know what his only question will be.

Simon Cowell… ’nuff said.

    John was in the fertilized egg business….

    ]]>     John was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young layers (hens), called ‘pullets,’ and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs. He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the porch And fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells.

    John’s favourite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch’s bell hadn’t rung at all! When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, could run for cover. To John’s amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn’t ring. He’d sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one.

    John was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the Renfrew County Fair and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the No Bell Piece Prize but they also awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well.

    Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most highly coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the populace and screwing them when they weren’t paying attention.

    Vote carefully next year, the bells are not always audible.
