What's all this I hear about Depleted Geraniums?

You all talk like Geraniums are a bad thing! Geraniums are beautiful flowers! They provide color and contrast to otherwise dreary places like Iraq! If the Geraniums in Iraq are depleted, then do the right thing about it. I always use Miracle Gro on my Geraniums, and not a one of them is depleted!

1. And why are we talking about making Puerto Rico a steak?

If we do that, they will ask for a salad and a baked potato too!

4. Donald Rumsfeld is giving the president his daily briefing.

He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed."

"OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!"

His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands.

Finally, the President looks up and asks, "How many is a brazillion?"

Making fun of the radiated munitions we have rained down on the innocents of Iraq?

Nope.

9. Don't be a humorless sot.

If you cannot find humor in even the worst of things, you'll go mad.

42. Couldn't have said it better myself, benburch.

My husband had a quadruple bypass Thursday and if we weren't laughing and trying to get his spirits up and keep the kids upbeat, I think I would be in the nuthouse.

45. Doing well. Off the ventilator and off the balloon pump

and his heart, albeit very, very weak is beating well.

The nurses had him sitting up yesterday, so he is progressing, but I have to tell you. Laughter really is the best medicine.

50. I recommend humor, esp black humor

for all such situations.

It is the only thing that will keep your from going mad.

My sister and I put a sticker on my mothers coffin that said "This end up", since my mother was notorious for her poor sense of direction.

52. OMG. You would LOVE our family.

We are the absolute kings of black humor. We had the nurses rolling the day he was admitted because we kept talking about the surgeon's 'tippling habit', which of course he doesn't have.

People were stopping by the room to see what was so funny.

He told me this morning to stop making him laugh and I told him that I would have to move out to do that.

Plus, now that he is better, I think I will have to get him a trophy wife, cause God knows, I won't be able to keep up with him.

51. Yes, but he had the audacity to DARE to criticize Bev Harris

so according to some, he (and everyone else not a devout Bev disciple) get their orders direct from Karl Rove/Diebold.

I heard a commercial for treatment for reptile dysfunction this morning. Really with all of our citizens who have no drug benefit, do we need to spend money on drugs for snakes and lizards?
