The Christian president of our Christian nation nearly choked on a
terrorist Islamic Pretzel.
Tom Ridge is now rounding up all the clerks at the nation's convenience
stores. Soon the lines will be three hours long just to buy snack
foods. We'll be sending an emergency grant of $20 Billion dollars to
Snyders of Berlin and Rold Gold and Frito Lay. Dan Dee has already
filed for bankruptcy.
Details at 11. Oh wait a minute, this news item WAS the news at 11.
Continuous coverage on CNN.
Reminds me of an old joke.
The teacher was asking everybody to describe their father's profession.
Johnny said his dad was a fireman.
Jimmy said his dad worked on a steel mill.
Jackie, when asked, sheepishly answered that his daddy was dead.
So the teacher says, Well Jackie, what did your dad do before he died?
Jackie gripped his throat with both hands and went
GGGGaaaaaaaaaccccccckkkkKKKK!

The ironic thing (well ok, one of the MANY ironic things) about this story
is that pretzels (according to legend anyway) were originally invented as
rewards for memorizing Bible passages and completing prayer assignments for
young boys at monasteries. If you turn the pretzel upside down from the
way
it is usually shown, so that the end of the twist is up, it's supposed to
look like the shoulders and arms of a person, the two lobes are the elbows,
the twist is the arms interlaced in prayer. (no doubt Satan is responsible
for the modern trend of showing the pretzel upside down)
Alls I can say is: "Vasovagal episode" my ASS!!!! That man was no doubt
DRUNK OFF HIS ASS!!!
