Coreece 190 #1 April 25, 2012 Can you believe it? In response to question # 4, "Do you have any dependants?" I replied - "2.1 million illegal immigrants, 1.1 million crack heads, 4.4 million unemployable people, 901 thousand people in over 85 prisons, and 650 idiots in Washington, DC Apparently, this was NOT an acceptable answer. Who the hell did I miss? (Just a joke that's been floating around - Thought this would make you guys chuckle even if you heard it before...just wanted to share.)Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

muff528 3 #2 April 25, 2012 Wow! They have "over 85" prisons!? I'll bet the turnover rate there is pretty brisk. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quade 4 #4 April 26, 2012 I wonder where the 650 number comes from? House = 435 Senate = 100 Scotus = 9 POTUS = 1 Vpotus = 1 Hmmm...even if you add in ... Cabinet = 15 Various other Cabinet level officers (Chief of staff, ect) =7 It still isn't 650. It can't be every government position in DC, because that's well over... Weird number to pick.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coreece 190 #5 April 26, 2012 Ya, I wondered if the numbers were right too, and figured people here would point out the discrepancies...but I figured it wasn't worth splittin' pubic hairs over it... it's just a joke. Lesson to all...Stop taking comedians soooo serious, lol... It's funny how some people here use the jokers as a legitimate source for an argument, whether it be Lewis Black, Pen, Bill Mar, John Stewart, Colbert, Mencia or Carlin - lolYour secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

quade 4 #6 April 26, 2012 The thing is, the thing that makes people like Jon Stewart so damn good is precisely because he is so damning in his accuracy. Anyone can blather a point, but when they make their point with laser guided accuracy, the audience knows the difference. Especially when it's something as simple as the number of major players in DC...something most people should have learned in high-school.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, if you're going to quibble over religious comedy accuracy, it would be extremely helpful if religions could themselves decide what is or isn't accurate; Is the Sabbath Friday, Saturday or Sunday would just be one example. Different religions all using the same perfect word of God and each in 100 percent certain of its unfailing accuracy and they can't come together on what constitutes a day off.

I've posted more pokes at religion that anyone here. I do find it extremely hilarious how the non religious take the comedy so serious as to ease their guilt of disbelief...Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

"Well, if you're going to quibble over religious comedy accuracy,.." The irony meter pegs out at 12. I should have claimed you as a dependent. I can always depend on you to come up with some really off-the-wall BS. (Feeding you an avenue for argument: the definition of dependent. Run with it.) Hey, Coreece! You forgot boobies. They are supported too and we do depend on them for entertainment expense write-offs. I took a business associate to the Pink Pony and the write-off went through.
