Reminds me of an interview I had for a budget analyst job.
Talking with the boss, everything going great. We’re hitting it off, and finally he says, "I have one last question for you. Since this is a job working with the Federal budget, involving billions of dollars in this environment of budget deficits as far as the eye can see, I need to test your math skills.
“What’s three times two?”
I quickly respond, “Five!”
The boss grimaces and says, “That’s not right… but oh, what the hell, you get the job. You were only off by two, anyways.”
And that’s why I started working for Uncle Sam.
Well, not really. But that’s how my old boss likes to tell the story.
Not quite; you have to teach a man to juggle dead fish and *then *you’ll have a politician for life. Even better would be to teach him to juggle live eels.
Sorry Joe Biden - the award for supremely dumbest thing said by a Democrat* during the current campaign** now goes to Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown. Commenting yesterday on GWB’s involvement in investigating voter registrations in the state, Brown said he was “disappointed” that Bush “chose to interject partisan politics into the election”.
Yep, you allow elections to become partisan and who knows what might happen? :eek:
*As to dumb things said by Republicans in the campaign: <Roy Scheider> "You’re going to need a bigger thread. </RS>
**Nancy Pelosi’s “I’m trying to save the planet!” deserves at least a dishonorable mention."
