Now THIS is how you bail out GM

Proving once more that the best ideas come from ordinary people. You've heard this mantra not to worry, government will get back its investment in car companies many times over. Of course, no one will ever see a cent of those "profits". So this guy calls in and says OK, then send ME my stock certificates. Don't keep it FOR me. The government is perfectly capable of mailing out checks, why not this? I thought it was a brilliant idea.

Along this line I would like to sell my steak in the Washington monument and Yellowstone Park.

You would need a health department certificate to do that. Actually health department certificates--one from DC and one from Wyoming.

You must always quote things as otherwise they can go back and edit the error and your joke falls flat.

What again is the idea ? Or did you mean quip ?

Finally, a topic with some meat to it.

The Monument and the Park are both purportedly good hunting grounds.

Really engaging debate. I was blaming the politicians. You guys aren't much better.
