Hammer bore dimension

[Dean May]

Colin Powell would report to the UN that Yellow Cake Crumbs were found in
the key bed
Donald Rumsfeld would call a press conference to say strong evidence exists
the owners' daughter was eating Yellow Cake instead of practicing
John Ashcroft would send a contingent of Black Hooded Ninjas to the house to
search for evidence and do full body cavity searches.
Dick Cheney would say intelligence reports indicates the family has been
using high grade aluminum forks to eat Yellow Cake.
George Bush would say we have to preemptively make an example of this
family.
John Kerry would agree. But afterwards he would say that was a mistake;
however we must finish the job now by bringing in an international coalition
of ninjas to demolish the house and save the family.

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.
