Excerpt from a Presidential debate..... Jim Lehrer: Vice President Gore, Governor Bush, why did the chicken cross the road? Gore: I fought for the chickens... and I fought for the roads that can be crossed... I still fight for chickens and better crossing roads... in fact, I voted for the chicken road crossing bill in 1993... unlike my opponent who voted against that very same bill... he didn't care whether that chicken crossed the road or not... and I will continue to fight for chickens and roads that are more easily crossed... Jim Lehrer: Governor Bush? Bush: I don't want the government to decide for that chicken, I trust that chicken... my opponent trusts big government, I trust the chicken... I trust the chicken to decide for himself whether he wants to cross that road... roads are important... they bring people together... that's good... I have nothing against that chicken crossing the road, but I believe that chicken can make up his own mind and cross the road or not cross the road as he chooses... he doesn't need Washington to decide for him..... Jim Lehrer: Thank you, gentlemen..... Go figure.....<g> GZ

Accountant Fresh out of business school, the young man answered a want ad for an accountant. Now he was being interviewed by a very nervous man who ran a small business that he had started himself. "I need someone with an accounting degree," the man said. "But mainly, I'm looking for someone to do my worrying for me." "Excuse me?" the accountant said. "I worry about a lot of things," the man said. "But I don't want to have to worry about money. Your job will be to take all the money worries off my back." "I see," the accountant said. "And how much does the job pay?" "I'll start you at eighty thousand." "Eighty thousand dollars!" the accountant exclaimed. "How can such a small business afford a sum like that?" "That," the owner said, "is your first worry."
