TEMFASSBAL; Maybe that's as much politics as the BB can stand but it could stand a little humor without much harm. I'll pose a riddle. The answers are at the bottom but don't look until you've cast your ballot. OK? The are 3 candidates for the Presidency. Cand. A Drinks 8-10 martinis a day and is probably alcoholic. He likes to hang out the the local yokel ward heelers. He has 2 mistresses. He is an inveterate liar. He will lie to anyone about anything, even his wife. He seems to enjoy it and it seems to tickle his sense of humor. Cand. B Is definitely an alcoholic. He drinks a full quart of brandy every night. He doesn't rise until noon. ( any wonder?) He is not an inveterate liar but will lie under oath if it suits his purpose. He is also a pompous, aristocratic ass. He may have had one or more mistresses at various times in his life. Cand. C Is a highly decorated war hero. He drinks an occasional beer. He has no illicit affairs. He is passionate about telling the truth to the body politic, as he sees it. Based on the limited information provided which candidate would you take most seriously? Answers below. < < < < << < < < < < < < < < < < << < Cand. A Franklin Roosevelt (probably lied about his role in the Pearl Harbor attack) Cand. B Winston Churchill (Lied about enigma, even to Britain's closest ally, the U.S.) Cand. C Adolf Hitler Scary, Huh? Is oversimplification is dangerous when talking about adults? PHOTOMAN
