This year, taxpayers will receive an
Economic Stimulus Payment. This is a
very exciting new program that I will
explain using the Q and A
format:
"Q. What is an Economic
Stimulus Payment?
"A. It is money
that the federal government will send to
taxpayers.
"Q. Where will the
government get this money?
"A. From
taxpayers.
"Q. So the
government is giving me back my own
money?
"A. No, they are borrowing it
from China. Your children are expected
to repay the Chinese.
"Q. What
is the purpose of this payment?
"A.
The plan is that you will use the money
to purchase a high-definition TV set,
thus stimulating the economy.
"Q. But isn't that stimulating the
economy of China?
"A. Shut up."

FEMALE PRAYER
Before I lay me down to sleep,
I pray for a man, who's not a creep,
One who's handsome, smart and strong
One who loves to listen long,
One who thinks before he speaks,
One who'll call, not wait for weeks.
I pray he's gainfully employed,
When I spend his cash, won't be
annoyed.
Pulls out my chair and opens my door,
Massages me back and begs to do more.
Oh! Send me

When I went to lunch today, I noticed an
old lady near a park bench sobbing her
eyes out. I stopped and asked her what
