Political Correctness ALERT

The "Underwear Bomber" was on a "terrorist watch list", a "no-fly list" and his own father reported him to the CIA as a likely suicide bomber. Yet he was able to jump on a plane and fly. The only thing that saved the plane from being blown up was the actions of the passengers who are apparently better at stopping terrorists than the Transportation Security Agency.

Now instead of profiling terrorists the Transportation Security Agency profiles all of us instead and either sends everyone through an x-ray machine or allows the screeners to fondle everyone's private parts. Even babies, grandmothers, pilots and flight attendants must suffer this outrage.

But it is comforting to know that we won't be offending any Muslims and this is all Bush's fault anyway.

We know I AM THANKFUL FOR MY VOICE. Now others may not be, but too bad! Please ya'll, have a great Thanksgiving and remember just one thing that you know God has done for you in your life. We try to go around the table and say one thing. Then I say Grace. My husband got a HUGE turkey for just a few of us. So, I'm grateful everyone can take some of Mr. Tom home! (along with my voice being back) Blessings to all.

John,

That's a great reunion idea. We could show those young whiper snappers some real school spirit.

That illness you had is really not that uncommon, especially among the politically challenged. Did you feel like spending lots of money that you didn't have, raising everyone's taxes, and apologizing to terrorists? You simply had an acute case of "liberalosis wacktitis". Electroshock therapy or lobotomy are the recommended treatments.

john, i think you were really thinking about this when you were sick, i think its a good idea. if larry or pat need my help,they just have to ask.before we know it that year will be here.

john, if you don't show up,were salute you and bruce,because you guys make the party.we picked that day because we thought doing it in the middle of the week was better because of xmas so close.and lots of parties. but there will be more "mini" reunions for us. nancy

Question for Fred our rich genius.

Why is 'bra' singular and 'panties' plural?
Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a horrible crisp, which no decent human being would eat?
If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a stupid song about him?
Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a revolver at him?

Randy,

Those are some good questions. I will present them at my next Mensa meeting and see if any of the members can come up with some answers. I have been staying up late at night trying to figure out how to divide by zero, why inflammable and flammable mean the same thing and why do we park on a driveway and drive on a parkway.

Randy,

My Mensa group has analyzed all the data surrounding the "Jimmy Cracked Corn and Nobody Cared" senario and have come to the following conclusion: Jimmy was actually Mr. Peanut himself, Jimmy Carter. He was the first president to "crack corn", allowing Federal subsidies for turning corn into corn ethanol for fuel. Even though it was a stupid idea, nobody cared. Why we still sing the song is still an enigma.
