- I have come across this letter and feel that there
- are many of you out there who will enjoy this. I did not
- write this article and the credit belongs to somebody
- else ( whom I dont know.)

- Dear friend,
-
- We have the distinguished honor of being a committee to raise
- five million dollars for placement of a statue of George Bush in
- the Hall of Fame in Washington DC.
-
- This committee was in a quandary where to place the statue. It
- was not deemed wise to place it beside the statue of George
- Washington, who never told a lie, not beside Richard Nixon who
- never told a truth, since George Bush couldn't tell the difference.
-
- We finally decided to place it beside Christopher Colombus, the
- greatest of them all. He left not knowing where he was going,
- and upon arrival didn't know where he was. He returned not
- knowing where he had been and he did it all on borrowed money.
-
- Over 5000 years ago, Moses sain to the Children of Israel, "Pick
- up your shovels, mount your asses and camels, and I will lead you
- to the promised land. Nearly 5000 years later, Roosevelt said :
- " Lay down your shovels, sit on your asses, light up a Camel, this
- is the promised land."
-
- Now Bush is stealing your shovels, kicking your asses, raising the
- price of your camels, and mortgaging the Promised Land. If
- you are one of the fortunate people who has money left after
- paying taxes, we will expect a generous donation as a contribution
- to this worthwhile project.
-
- Respectfully yours,
-
- I.M. Dunn
- Secretary
- Bush statue Committee
-
- PS: It is said that President Bush is considering change of the
- Republican party emblem from an elephant to a condom, because
- the latter stands for inflation, protects a bunch of pricks, halts
- production and gives a false sense of security when one is
- being screwed.
