Air Force One arrives at Heathrow and President Bush strides to a warm and dignified reception from the Queen. They are driven in a 1934 Bentley to the edge of central London where they change to a magnificent 17th century carriage hitched to six white horses. They continue on towards Buckingham Palace waving to the thousands of  cheering Britons; all is going well.

Suddenly the right rear horse lets fly with the most horrendous earth-shattering fart ever heard in the  British Empire . The smell is atrocious!  Both passengers in the carriage must use handkerchiefs over their noses.  The fart shakes the coach but the two dignitaries of state do their best to ignore the
incident.

The Queen turns to President Bush, “Mr. President, please accept my regrets.  I am sure you understand there are some things that even a queen cannot control.”

George Bush, always trying to be presidential, replied, “Y our Majesty, do not give the matter another thought.  Until you mentioned it, I thought it was one of the horses.”

 
 

Dear Brian Eckert,

Legislative Update

HB603: Domestic Partner Rights And Responsibilities Act Receives “Do Pass” From Senate Judiciary

 

By a vote of 5-1, HB603 passed out of Senate Judiciary last night.  Over 50 people showed up to support HB603.  The opposition only had about 8 people in the room. 

 

Rep. Mimi Stewart presented the bill.  Sen. Cisco McSorley, Chair of Senate Judiciary asked how many people were there to oppose the bill, and asked them if they wanted to testify.  One man, who most of the opposition seemed to believe was their best spokesperson, spoke in opposition.  His statement claimed that if they passed HB603, it would lead to people marrying children, relatives, and sheep.  The testimony was over. 

 

Sen. McSorley asked how many people were there to support the Bill.  Our 50+ people raised their hands, but offered no testimony.  The committee went immediately into the vote.  Voting in favor of HB603 were Senators McSorley, Grubesic, Martinez, M. Sanchez and Lopez.  Sen. Adair opposed the Bill.  Senators Rainaldi, Cravens, Harden and Payne were not in the room.

Once upon a time there lived a king.

The king had a beautiful daughter, The PRINCESS.

But there was a problem. Everything the princess touched would melt.

No matter what;
metal,
wood,
stone,

anything she touched would melt.

Because of this, men were afraid of her. Nobody would dare marry her.

The king despaired. What could he do to help his daughter?

He consulted his wizards and magicians. One wizard told the king,

“If your daughter touches one thing that does not melt in her hands, she will be cured.”

The king was overjoyed and came up with a plan.

The next day, he held a competition. Any man that could bring his daughter an object that would not melt would marry her and inherit the king’s wealth.

THREE YOUNG PRINCES TOOK UP THE CHALLENGE.

The first brought a sword of the finest steel.

But alas, when the princess touched it, it melted.

The prince went away sadly.

The second prince brought diamonds.

He thought diamonds are the hardest substance in the world and would not melt. But alas, once the princess touched them, they melted.

He too was sent away disappointed.
 

The third prince approached. He told the princess, “Put your hand in my pocket and feel what is in there.”

The princess did as she was told, though she turned red.

She felt something hard. She held it in her hand.

And it did not melt!!!

The king was overjoyed. Everybody in the kingdom was overjoyed.

And the third prince married the princess and they both lived happily ever after.

Question: What was in the prince’s pants?

M&M’s of course.

They melt in your mouth, not in your hand.
