Serious observation --- no joke... Politicians are unbelievably ignorant about science. Not just Dan and Ron, but the majority of elected representatives. Probably a right or left brained thing: Scientific thinkers are unelectable. Not a proven idea, just an observation. Not valid in ALL cases: Just most. Cheers, PW.

Duh! Regan was quoted as saying " Once you have seen one Redwood tree you have seen them all." (hence no need to protect the forests) Helen Chenowith made a similar comment regarding salmon. Something to the effect that there obviously was no salmon problem because you could still find them on the shelves of the supermarket. Duh! nwsailor

Dan Quayle was always a real smart guy. Heck, I bet his IQ was -10, a real high number.

Those are all pretty funny. But one of best has to be Clinton's "Well... that depends on the what definition of the word 'is' is."

The Gift A young man wanted to purchase a gift for his new sweetheart's birthday, and as they had not been dating very long, after careful consideration, he decided a pair of gloves would strike the right note: romantic, but not too personal. Accompanied by his sweetheart's younger sister, he went to Nordstrom's and bought a pair of white gloves. The sister purchased a pair of panties for herself. During the wrapping, the clerk mixed up the items and the sister got the gloves and the sweetheart got the panties. Without checking the contents, the young man sealed the package and sent it to his sweetheart with the following note: "I chose these because I noticed that you are not in the habit of wearing any when we go out in the evening. If it had not been for your sister, I would have chosen the long ones with the buttons, but she wears short ones that are easier to remove. These are a delicate shade, but the lady I bought them from showed me the pair she had been wearing for the past three weeks and they were hardly soiled. I had her try yours on for me and she looked really smart. I wish I was there to put them on for you the first time, as no doubt other hands will come in contact with them before I have a chance to see you again. When you take them off, remember to blow in them before putting them away as they will naturally be a little damp from wearing. Just think how many times I will kiss them during the coming year. I hope you will wear them for me on Friday night. All my love. P.S. The latest style is to wear them folded down with a little fur showing."
