Absolutely not! No Illuminati would even think of eating pancakes with syrup. How gauche. How plebian. We eat them with coffee poured on top. ---

Speaking as a member of the Illuminati who will soon have a membership card once Thaddeus Iam figures out how to pick up the fake payment I sent him via Western Union, I shall serve all of you pancakes and coffee. Our coffee is grown from a secret plant, the \*orsoniophalus beanus lotsacocoalus \*grown only in dark hidden places. ---

The Illuminati does not issue membership cards; a special inter-dimensional key-ring–which may or may not be in your pocket as we speak–allows members access to the hive. ---

NASA has been working on interdimensional key rings for over twenty years now, but so far has little to show for the $8.25 billion effort. The closest its scientists have come is a garage-door opener that works across six states, but only on alternate Tuesdays in leap years. Congressional hearings are planned for April 1, 2016. ---

_Who Wants to Be A Proctologist?_ has been syndicated in all but three countries: Iceland, Bolivia, Lesotho and Vatican City. It has been the #1 show in Switzerland for the past six years, thanks to creative use of Swiss cheese and alphorns. ---

Dick Cheney’s original heart is beating in a chest believed to be somewhere in the Smithsonian, as is the Mrs. Butterworth bottle that Lord Obama claims comes to life and gives him guidance when things are most bleak. ---

Everyone in the White House, with the exception of President Obama, knows and loves the prank Mrs. Obama plays on her husband every chance she gets: She had the Secret Service install a tiny speaker in the bottom of the Mrs. Butterworth bottle and the conversations are recorded for playback during times when Barack is “showing his ass.” ---

\*White House \*Apple Juice is no longer made on Pennsylvania Avenue. President Taft sold the National Orchard back in 1907 because he felt the government should no longer be involved with incider trading. The news at the time stunned veteran Washington reporters, who were used to gathering to get the latest juice quality updates at the weekly White House press conference. ---

When Governor Taft left the Philippines, he proclaimed “I shall return at some point!” from the railing of the ship, then ducked hastily to avoid the hail of gunfire that erupted. When Douglas MacArthur made somewhat the same statement many years later, the crowd murmured angrily while glaring at their womenfolk.
