Honest question

A followup

George  Bush, Queen Elizabeth, and Vladimir Putin all die and
go to hell.  While there, they spy a red phone and ask what
the phone is  for.

The devil  tells them it is for calling back to Earth. Putin
asks to  call Russia and talks for 5 minutes. When he is
finished,  the devil informs him that the cost is a million
dollars, so  Putin writes him a check.

Next Queen  Elizabeth calls England and talks for 30 minutes.
When she is  finished, the devil informs her that the cost
is 6 million  dollars, so she writes him a check.

Finally  George Bush gets his turn and talks for 4 hours.
Whenhe is  finished, the devil informs him that the cost is
$5.00.

When Putin  hears this, he goes ballistic and asks the devil
why Bush  got to call the USA so cheaply. The devil smiles
and replies,  since Obama took over, the country's gone to
hell, so it's a local  call."

This is what I posted on January 29 last year

I'll wait here while you look for it

Editorial comment

...and then I saw...

To the best of my knowledge this is not an impersonator

nor is it photoshopped

I would bet, though, there is a reasonable explanation

Uncle Sam's Misguided Children

The train was quite crowded and a U.S. Marine walked the entire length looking for a seat
But the only seat left was taken by a well dressed, middle-aged, French woman's poodle
The war-weary Marine asked, 'Ma'am, may I have that seat?'
The French woman just sniffed and said to no one in particular, 'Americans are so rude.
My little Fifi is using that seat.'
 The Marine walked the entire train again, but the only seat left was under that dog
'Please, ma'am. May I sit down? I'm very tired ......'
She snorted, 'Not only are you Americans rude, you are also arrogant!'
This time the Marine didn't say a word, he just picked up the little dog, tossed it out the train window, and sat down
The woman shrieked, 'Someone must defend my honour!
'This American should be put in his place!'
An English gentleman sitting nearby spoke up: 'Sir, you Americans seem to have a penchant for doing the wrong thing.
'You hold the fork in the wrong hand.
'You drive your cars on the wrong side of the road.
'And now, sir, you seem to have thrown the wrong bitch out the window.'

A to Z..

X is for movies
you can't really give a blog an X rating

I'm really sick o' this crap

The gosh darn pols have created a real mess
I'm not talkin' about the freaking Sequester or the financial garbage
I mean what's happening to rational discussion
The only people is this country who are speaking to each other are the extremes
The only things they are saying are insults to the other extreme
That's only pushing those they disagree with that much further away
That's leaving those in the middle ducking so they aren't a target
It seems like any time someone stands up to make himself (or herself) heard, he (or she) is labeled and categorized such that they are no longer in the middle
Just reading some of the $#!+ that comes from the mouths and the pens of the so-called Republicans and Democrats makes me wonder where all of the intelligent folks went
It seems like any time someone has a decent idea or plan some big-mouthed @$$hole hijacks and wrecks it

It must be all the great technology
It is allowing stuff to go to hell in a handbasket a lot faster now

In for a penny

In for a Euro
Dang!
I forgot the Irish went over

Anyhow, if I'm gonna comment on a day, I may as well go all in

That said, I went back and looked at what I posted two years ago:

An old Irish farmer's dog goes missing and he's inconsolable.
His wife says "Why don't you put an advert in the paper?"
He does, but two weeks later the dog is still missing.
"What did you put in the paper?" his wife asks.
"Here boy" he replies.

Worse, there's more from where that originally came
I'll spare ya
