Potatos for Peace
Edited on Tue Aug-23-05 06:38 PM by OxQQme
While surfing I came across this and felt the need to share.
I DO NOT advocate violence. Funny none the less.

Disclaimer: WE ARE NOT ENDORSING SETTING THE PRESIDENT ON FIRE

IT'S A JOKE SENT TO US BY A READER. A JOKE. WE DO NOT LIKE SETTING PEOPLE ON FIRE. NOW THE JOKE.



A driver is stuck in a traffic jam on the highway. Nothing is moving.

Suddenly a man knocks on the window. The driver rolls down his window and asks, "What happened?"

"Terrorists kidnapped President Bush and are asking for a $10 million ransom. Otherwise they are going to douse him with gasoline and set him on fire. We are going from car to car to take up a collection."

The driver asks, "How much have you collected so far?"

"About 25 gallons."




ONCE AGAIN, THE BURNING OF PEOPLE IS WRONG. HORRIBLY WRONG. HOFFMANIA.COM DEPLORES THE PRACTICE. THANK YOU.

4. Like all good jokes, it has a bite, but isn't meant to harm. That's obvio
us. I thought it was very funny, and I'm a Gandhian.

...and, given the price of gasoline, people would obviously make big sacrifices to be rid of Bush (by humane means, of course--the gaoline just stands for "GOOD-BYE!" or "Good riddance--thanks for nothing!"--or, "Poetic Justice"). (Guantanamo Bay maybe? With only a Koran and "My Pet Goat" to read for the rest of his life?)
