• Wine in a box.

Hey, we got boxed wine in the good ol’ US of A too, ya’ know! **

Aah, but it’s an Australian invention. OK, so we also invented inconsequential little things like the black box flight recorder, but who cares about those? I’m talking about the ones that really count!

Well, what other country has invented beverage dispensing device which be inflated into a comfortable air pillow once its contents are consumed? (Of course, one may well require a place to lay one’s head after imbiding said contents.) A great source of national pride, this invention is IMO.

Um, is this a good thing or a bad thing? **

I’m not sure, but it gives the youngins hope. If Sonny Bono can do it, by God, so can the kid who served me my supersized fries.

Sorry you lost me there. Are you talking about the US? Is this some bizarre irony attempt?

1. Cheap used cars that last forever.

2. Low taxes (at least compared to other countries).

3. Good roads.

4. Good honest police (for the most part) and amazing Fire
   Departments.

5. Deer hunting and all the other seasons that allow you to
   walk in the woods with a loaded firearm.

6. The legal right to ignore as innefectual anyone who is
   offended by walking in the woods with a loaded firearm.

7. County, State, and National Parks, Forests, and Waterways
   to be used by all.

8. G. Gordon Liddy, I love his show and the fact that even
   though as a convicted felon he is not allowed to own
   firearms, he can still get his wife to buy them and
   borrow them with impunity!

9. President George W. Bush (Gore and the Dems couldn’t
   even cheat right, ha ha what a bunch of boobs!)

10)Just waiting in the wings for Quebec to opt out of
Canada and break it to pieces so we can swoop in and
grab us a couple of Provinces and all their stuff.
Bhwaaaa Haaa Haaa Bhwaaaa Haaa Haaa! (OK, I know that
would probably never happen, but just in case I got dibs
on Manitoba - there are some sweet fishing lakes up
there.)

Didn’t some porn star in Italy acheive political office about 10 years ago?
