Another Great Joke From My Mom
Subject: Ethical Dilemma
This test has only one question, but it's a very important one. By giving an honest answer you will discover where you stand morally.
The test features an unlikely, completely fictional situation in which you will have to make a decision. Remember that your answer needs to be honest, yet completely spontaneous.
You are in Florida - Miami, to be specific. There is chaos all around you caused by a hurricane with severe flooding. This is a flood of biblical proportions. You are a photojournalist working for a major newspaper, and you are caught in the middle of this epic disaster.
The situation is nearly hopeless. You're trying to shoot career-making photos. There are houses and people swirling around you, some disappearing under the water. Nature is unleashing all of its destructive fury.
Suddenly you see a man floundering in the water. He is fighting for his life, trying not to be taken down with the debris. You move closer...somehow the man looks familiar. You suddenly realize who it is! It's George W. Bush!
At the same time you notice that the swirling waters! are about to take him under... forever! You have two options - you can save the life of G.W. Bush or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize-winning photo, documenting the death of one of the world's most powerful men.
So here's the question - please give an honest answer:
Would you select high contrast color film, or would you go with the classic simplicity of black and white?
(PS: No actual presidents were harmed in the making of this joke, because if one had been harmed, the SS would be all over our asses like white on rice.)

Very good. I'd love to see Cheney take over as President too.
My Mom sent me this one.
One night, George W. Bush is tossing restlessly in his White House bed. He
awakens to see George Washington standing by him. Bush asks him, "George,
what's the best thing I can do to help the country?"
"Set an honest and honorable example, just as I did," Washington advises,
and then fades away.
The next night, Bush is astir again, and sees the ghost of Thomas Jefferson
moving through the darkened bedroom. Bush calls out, "Tom, please! What is
the best thing I can do to help the country?"
"Respect the Constitution, as I did," Jefferson advises, and dims from
sight.
The third night sleep is still not in the cards for Bush. He awakens to see
the ghost of FDR hovering over his bed. Bush whispers, "Franklin, what is
the best thing I can do to help the country?"
"Help the less fortunate, just as I did," FDR replies and fades into the
mist.
Bush isn't sleeping well the fourth night when he sees another figure
moving in the shadows. It is the ghost of Abraham Lincoln. Bush pleads,
"Abe, what is the best thing I can do right now to help the country?"
Lincoln replies, "Go see a play."
Thatsa good one. My true answer would be I would of forgotten about the camera and have already been involved in rescue efforts. If I so happened upon the puppet in the need of rescue I would to the best of my ability to do so.
I would immediatly get him to a shelter. This pretend time being the aftermath only shelters of the last resort will be available. As the conditions will most likely be something like the Superdome or the Convention Center in N.O. the people will welcome his leadership. I'd put him right on the 50 yd line so he can lead his fellow Americans out to safety. Maybe across a bridge. A bridge named Pettis or Gretna.
Of course I don't believe that George could lead a Kindergarten Class out to the playground during a firedrill.
Now heres a question who do you think would do a better job of leading out the people to safety, Presidents Reagan, Carter, Bush, Clinton or the lil puppet Shrub? Anybody else?
Carter!
Jeez, Human, it's a freakin' joke. Go with it. Here let me show you:
Now heres a question who do you think would do a better job of leading out the people to safety, Presidents Reagan, Carter, Bush, Clinton or the lil puppet Shrub?
Clinton would, assuming all of the victims were portly and toothless women. Or Carter, assuming all of the victims were killer rabbits. Or Reagan, assuming his coffin floats. Or lil puppet Shrub, assuming all of the victims were in Galveston instead of the Big Sleazy.
Okay, this one is OLD, and y'all probably remember it, but it goes like this:
Jimmy Carter, John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon are on the Titanic and the ship has just struck the iceberg.
Carter screams, "Women in the lifeboats first!"
Nixon says, "Screw 'em!"
Kennedy says, "Do we have time for that?"
Yeah, heard it. How about this one:
Q: If you dropped Brittany Spears and Christina Aguilera off a cliff at the same time, who'd hit the ground first?
A: Who cares?
Here's one:
"Brownie.. you're doin' a heck of a job"
Ahh.. still makes me laugh
Black and white of course. Sympolism to span generations.
It is a tough decision. I think I would probably rescue him.
On the other hand, I might pull out a video camera and hope he gave a performance like De Niro in Cape Fear.
Easy decision to make--I'd watch him gulp and go down, slower the rate the better.
