Do you like to rile yourself up about politics?

No.

Dear Alice,

Tonight, David and I were discussing our life insurance. That lead to our preferred method of body disposal. He wants me to build a pine box for his carcass. I can do that, it will not be pretty and may not have hinges.

I told him I preferred taxidermy. Have me stuffed and mounted like a hood ornament, put me on the hood of his tractor and then he can remember me every time he plows a furrow. He said no.
I said,
If he were taxidermally done, I could put him out by the front gate, armed to the teeth, in his old Marine Corp jacket and have him fire a few shots (blanks of course) every hour. Animation would come later, after collecting his insurance. He was not amused.

I said I would salute every time I came in the gate.

Still, no.

No sense of humor.

Love,
Betty

Remember where the word 'politics' comes from?

Poly = Many
Tics = Annoying biting disease carring bugs
Politics = Many annoying disease carring bugs

And theres me thinking poly was a parrot.
He's getting no crackers from me.

I believe we should have a parlimentary
sytem and have the Queen as head of
state. " Hail Britannia." I've always loved
the English...

Cheers..Joe

Betty,
your plan for taxidermy gave me my morning laugh.
The concept, but using a decorated dummy as guard, could be more effective than other security devices.
