RE: Too Many

The Corner

A reader writes in regarding Ted Turner's comments below about global warming induced cannibalism:

<<< On a personal note, my husband and I were just delighted with our kids last night when they heard the Turner clips played on Fox News, started laughing, and immediately let the wisecracks fly.

12-year old Daughter: “So…which of us kids are you and Daddy going to eat first?”

Daddy: “Depends who’s getting the best grades and doing the most chores at the time.”

Daughter: “There won’t BE any grades because of the Failed State, silly!”

13-year old Son: “Anyway, I think the Father is supposed to sacrifice himself for his family…”

12-year old Daughter: “Yeah, that’s true. But we wouldn’t have to kill Daddy right away; we could just cut off one leg, then the other… We could probably keep him alive for a few extra weeks that way.”

13-year old Son: “What’s the point of dragging it out when all of Civilization will be in shambles anyway…?” >>>


I don't suppose Emily Post has an entry on intrafamily cannibalism? We need to establish a protocol here fast, or else the coming eschaton might get really ugly.
