3. I won't get Randi for a couple more hours - don't know what list, but
is it anything like this?


Can you imagine working for a company that has a little more than 500 employees and has the following statistics:

29 have been accused of spousal abuse

7 have been arrested for fraud

19 have been accused of writing bad checks

117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses

3 have done time for assault

71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit

14 have been arrested on drug-related charges

8 have been arrested for shoplifting

21 are currently defendants in lawsuits

84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year

Can you guess which organization this is?

Give up yet?

It's the 535 members of the United States Congress.

The same group of idiots that crank out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us in line.

5. Close, but not quite
It's a list about

XX% of people believe in ESP
39% believe in George Bush

XX% of people believe in psychics
39% believe in George Bush

It went on and on, and the top number was always higher :D

7. That was hysterical! 80% believe the govt is hiding alien life forms from
us, and 39% approve of Bush!

4. How funny was that!
:rofl:

For those who missed it, she read a list of statistics like 58% of americans believe in Angels....39% of Americans believe in George Bush...

She just kept reading stats of weird things we believe about aliens, angels, psychic occurrences, etc. all with higher than 39% believing in them, and following them with "39% of Americans believe in George Bush."

6. Randi just made a little mistake
Salem Networks didn't ban Ted Koppel's list of the military dead.

That was Sinclair.

8. Thanks. I knew that Salem didn't sound familiar in regard to that, and I
couldn't remember Sinclair's name. (Even though I wrote to their sponsors like crazy.)

15. The scene with Brooks
sweating bullets under the lights really killed me. Been there. When I do onstage stuff, they have to layer on the Ben Nye with a paint roller, and constantly reapply. I guess some people are like that. And it sucks.

16. He looked so wet that you could wring out his clothes and get a flood!
One of the funniest and heartbreaking scenes in a movie. And because of that, I can just imagine what you go through. :hug:
