Sorry…I don’t know how to do the proper, cool link: [http://www.sptimes.com/2004/02/29/Perspective/Battleground\_state.shtml](http://www.sptimes.com/2004/02/29/Perspective/Battleground_state.shtml) Anyway, > [@](#): > > Byrd has another problem - and this one is of his own making. In a meeting with the Tampa Tribune editorial board, he compared House members to “sheep” who are “looking for someone to tell them what to do.” Fellow Republicans criticized him for comments they found demeaning. The episode could make it more difficult for Byrd to get House members in line over the next two months. So, democrats are parading two sheep around the lawn of the Capitol (Florida) today and they need names. Any ideas? ---

> [@Original Cindy](#): > > Old joke from Johnny Carson: > > The answer is: Sis boom bah. > > The question: What sound does an exploding sheep make? I remember seeing that when I was a wee laddie staying up way past his bedtime. The exact punchline was “What does it sound like when a sheep explodes?” which is a little tighter construction. For quite some time after I thought that was about the funniest damn thing I’d heard in my life. ---
