Poll question: Who is/was the luckiest boy in the world
In honor of one of the leading contenders, recently deceased, here is a poll where he slugs it out with the current unelected incumbent, who in Reagan's 'honor' is demoted to his most appropriate position: number 2.

Some of these suck; if I (or you folks) think of some better before editing time's over, I'll change a few. It was basically meant to be a showdown between the two most clueless presidents.

4. What happens in the Wonka Works stays in the Wonka Works
Besides Willy said the batch was a total loss and chucked it. Shame what he did to that blueberry kid though

5. Where is Pee Wee Herman?
Doesn't everyone remember the song he sang at the end of his HBO special, "I'm The Luckiest Boy In The World"? He deserves a place on the poll, blast it!

9. Thought about putting him on, but decided it wasn't luck but money
which you can also say about Dubya, but at least OJ earned his money.

11. Is this a reference to the movie The Jerk, or do you not like him?
Sorry for the stupid question; I'm just wondering. Anyway, even if you don't like the standup routines, records, books, plays, or movies, on banjo playing alone he has to be acknowledged as a great talent, and so is ruled out of the Luckiest Boy in the World competition.

12. That child who fell out of a seventh story window
And landed on some landscape shrubbery, breaking his fall. The end result was only minor cuts and bruises.
