Hammer bore dimension

[Richard Oliver Snelson]

First of all President Bush would call a cabinet meeting to discuss the 
piano.
Colin Powell would ask if he was sure the piano needed the overhaul.
Donald Rumsfeld would state lets just send in the troop to tear it up a bit.
John Ashcroft would question who caused it to need the overhaul.
Chaney would they say, Let's get Halliburton to do the work.
John Snow of Treasury would scream, do we have the money for that?
President Bush would decide and email his good friends: 
LarryinAtlanta@aol.com and Carl Meyer
to do the work. He would have called PianoTunaGuy but he didn't
know what the hell his name is.

See folk I'm feeling a lot better about the election.
