This is posted as humour--not as principle...<g>

The old man was critically ill. Feeling that death was near, he called his lawyer. "I want to become a Democrat. Get me a change of registration form." "You can do it", the lawyer said, "But why? You'll be dead soon, why do you want to become a Democrat?" "That's my business! Get me the form!"

Four days later, the old man got his registration changed. His lawyer was at his bedside making sure his bill would be paid. Suddenly the old man was racked with fits of coughing, and it was clear that this would be the end. Still curious, the lawyer leaned over and said, "Please, before it's too late, tell me why you wanted to become a Democrat so badly before you died?" In a faint whisper, as he breathed his last, the old man said: "One less Democrat".

Sounds like a good time.

The sort of artist I am depends on the day. I'm variously a singer, composer, and writer, but I specialize in the art of creative loafing.

I haven't seen "Changing Lanes" yet. I did just see "The Man WhoWasn't There"––it's a perfect antidote to your tension. In fact, it might put you right to sleep. Marvelous, meticulous acting, but slow.
