shiny happy people.

in an effort to redeem myself for my self-designation as september's asstard of the month, here is a really funny joke:

president bush, first lady laura and dick cheney were flying on air force one. george looked at laura, chuckled and said, "you know, i could throw a $1,000 bill out of the window right now and make somebody very happy."

laura shrugged her shoulders and replied, "i could throw ten $100 bills out of the window and make ten people very happy."

cheney added, "that being the case, i could throw one hundred $10 bills out of the window and make a hundred people very happy."

hearing their exchange, the pilot rolled his eyes and said to his co-pilot, "such big-shots back there. shit, i could throw all of them out of the window and make 56 million people very happy."
