6. Best Joke
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?"

35. We could always get Dad to throw his Lillet out the window in an angry fit at supper
if we started an argument on Placide Cappeau de Roquemaure's atheism/non-atheism.

Just like clockwork, with Dad, it was.

We really knew how to push his buttons, and Placide Cappeau de Roquemaure was one of them.
