I just had a thought that might cast a new light on our current
federal budget problems:
Here are some estimates I heard on NPR today:
1991 Proposed Budget $ 1,200,000,000,000
Est. Revenue 800,000,000,000
Military Budget 290,000,000,000
Debt Service 260,000,000,000
National Debt 3,000,000,000,000
So I thought I would do my part to help eliminate the national debt
by organizing a bake sale. (If it's good enough for the Girl Scouts,
it's good enough for Uncle Sam.)
Let's say we bake the chocolate mint cookies: they've always been
my favorites. If we put 40 cookies in a box, sell the boxes for 2
dollars a piece and it costs us $1.25 a box to bake them, we can make
75 cents per box! Now let's see... We need to raise 3 trillion
dollars... That's a mere 160 trillion cookies.
But who will eat the cookies?? We all will! Assuming the
population of the United States is 250 million, that makes 640,000
delicious chocolate mint cookies for every man, woman and child in the
US. What a feast!
But wait - we'd have to bake the cookies before we could eat them.
No problem. I can fit 3 baking sheets in my oven, with 48 cookies on
a sheet. (6 by 8 always works nicely.) It takes about 12 minutes to
bake a batch of cookies, so that means I can bake 720 cookies per
hour! Now I could bake all of the cookies myself but it would take me
8.5 billion years. Since the sun will burn out in about 500 million
years, maybe you guys better help me. If everybody in the US were to
help, it would take only 34 years. Of course everybody would have to
quit their jobs to bake cookies 40 hours a week, but what the heck;
it's for a good cause.
Bon Appetit,
larry & Josh
P.S. When I thought about it a bit more, I realized that some of us
might eventually get tired of eating 30,000 cookies a week -- even the
chocolate mint ones! Then I had a great idea: we could export some of
the cookies! Let's assume that Americans only wanted, say, half of
them. That leaves 80 trillion cookies for the rest of the world.
Let's say we distribute these cookies evenly among the balance of the
world population, about 4.75 billion people. That comes out to 16,800
cookies per person for the rest of the planet. Not only would our
bake sale solve the current US budget problem, but it would end world
hunger and balance the US trade deficit to boot!
The Shit List
1. Ghost Shit: The kind where you feel the shit come out, but there's
no shit in the toilet.
2. Clean Shit: The kind where you shit it out, see it in the toilet,
but there's nothing on the toilet paper.
3. Wet Shit: The kind where you wipe your butt 50 times and it still feels
unwiped, so you have to put some toilet paper between your butt and your
underwear so you won't ruin them with a stain.
4. Second Wave Shit: This happens when you are done shitting and you've
pulled your pants up to your knees, and realize that you have to shit
some more.
5. Pop-a-vein-in-your-forehead Shit: The kind where you strain so much to
get it out you practically have a stroke.
6. Lincoln Log Shit: The kind of shit that is so huge you're afraid to
flush without first breaking it into little pieces with the toilet brush.
7. Gassey Shit: It's so noisy, everyone within earshot is giggling.
8. Drinker Shit: The kind of shit you have the morning after a long
night of drinking. It's most noticeable trait is the skid marks on the
bottom of the toilet.
9. Corn Shit: Self explanatory.
10. Gee-I-wish-I-could-shit Shit: The kind where you want to shit but
all you do is sit on the toilet and fart a few times.
11. Spinal Tap Shit: That's where it hurts so badly coming out you'd swear
it was leaving you sideways.
12. Wet Cheeks Shit: (The power dump) The kind that comes out of your butt
so fast, your butt cheeks get splashed with water.
13. Liquid Shit: The kind where yellowish-brown liquid shoots out of your
butt and splashes all over the toilet bowl.
14. Mexican Shit: It smells so bad your nose burns.
15: Upper Class Shit: The kind of shit that doesn't smell.
16: The Surprise Shit: You're not even at the toilet because you're sure
you are about to fart, but oops!....A shit!
17: The Dangling Shit: The shit that refuses to drop into the toilet even
though you know you're done shitting it. You just pray a shake or two
will cut it loose.
