I thought they had plenty of asses…

I found this very funny. When you don’t have copy editors, this happens.

Should we test before someone can become a parent?

In The Netherlands, a new world record was set when a 2 year-old girl skydived while strapped to her father in a tandem jump.

Or rather, this little girls was tied to her father, who jumped out of a plane. In The Netherlands there are no laws that dictate how old a person has to be to participate in a tandem jump as a passenger.

I’d hope law enforcement agency somewhere in that whacky country presses child endangerment charges against this bastard. Then they should kick him in his junk so hard he can’t produce another child.

When Goodness dies

As some of you may know, Subway has changed the way they cut their delicious bread. As a former Sandwich Artist, I find this disturbing and downright Communist. Luckily someone shares my ire and has created this petition to bring back the classic cut.

Why do corporations constantly shoot themselves in the foot by making decisions that fly in the face of all that is holy? Greed has undermined the ideal that “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.” Now I’m no economics professor, so I couldn’t begin to explain how Subway could stand to make money by cutting their bread in a totally unoriginal and damned messy way, but what I do know is that I refuse to bow down to their greed-driven whims. Rise up with me people and conquer your hunger with a V-cut Subway sandwich. And while you’re at it, let’s kick the shit out of lard-ass Jared Fogle.

Cruel, yes. But unusual?

Prison officials in Columbus, Ohio have asked the state Legislature to bar use of the electric chair. Concerned about possible chair malfunctions, the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction wants lethal injection to be the only death penalty procedure.

Asked for his opinion, State Grim Reaper Alex Killroy said, “I can’t believe these guys actually choose the electric chair. If the options are getting a shot and dying painlessly or being fried and having flames shoot outta’ my dome, I’m going with the needle. But that’s just me.”

Double Standard Dick

Vice President Dick Cheney, the US energy-policy coordinator, wants the Navy to pay the electricity bill for his home on the grounds of the Naval Observatory. A bill that is $186,000 per year.

By a party-line 33-29 vote, the Republican-controlled House Appropriations Committee voted Tuesday to make the Navy — and not Cheney’s office budget — pay the electricity bill.

Double standard? The energy-policy coordinator can’t pay his own electricity bill. Many Americans have been bitten by higher energy prices, while getting little help from Washington. I wish we had the option of making someone else pay our bills.

Cheney also made over $36 million last year, according to his filed tax return with the IRS, from stocks he held with big oil companies. The bottom line: when a guy that makes $36M can’t pay the power bill, it’s time to move into all those Y2K shelters you built.

The American Journal of Epidemiology is reporting that the more sexual partners a man has, the more likely they are to develop prostate cancer. Heh, like that’s suppose to scare us. Most of the men I know would pop thier wanker into a moldy pumpkin if they, or the pumpkin, had enough to drink.
