In honor of my escape from the 700 Club, here's my favorite bush* joke:
THE FOUR GHOSTS OF THE WHITE HOUSE

One night, George W. Bush is tossing restlessly in his White House bed. He awakens to see George Washington standing by him.
Bush asks him,George, what's the best thing I can do to help the country?"
"Set an honest and honorable example, just as I did," Washington advises, and then fades away.

The next night, Bush is astir again, and sees the ghost of Thomas Jefferson moving through the darkened bedroom.
Bush calls out, "Tom, please! What is the best thing I can do to help the country?"
"Respect the Constitution, as I did,"Jefferson advises, and dims from sight.

The third night sleep is still not in the cards for Bush. He awakens to see the ghost of FDR hovering over his bed.
Bush whispers, "Franklin, What is the best thing I can do to help the country?"
"Help the less fortunate, just as I did," FDR replies and fades into the mist.

Bush isn't sleeping well the fourth night when he sees another figure moving in the shadows. It is the ghost of Abraham Lincoln.
Bush pleads, "Abe,what is the best thing I can do right now to help the country?"
Lincoln replies, "Go see a play."

Thanks, everyone, for your help! It's going to be OK now. :yourock:

21. That would certainly be my version of Heaven.
Funny thing is my cats each have their own sense of humor, as you can see in the picture of Yogi. Can you see that look on his face? It just screams comedian at ya.

27. And I'm on my way!
It's fun. My husband thinks it's funny that I sit here and start laughing at stuff. He's going to join, too. We'll have to help him once he's allowed to log on. :)

28. I'm here to help.
I have a friend in RL who occasionally posts on here too. She's waiting for her new computer to arrive so she's not here right now. I'll let her know about you and your hubby when she finally logs back in.

30. I'll let her know.
She is really low on posts right now(maybe 100 at the most) so she needs to post more too!
You might have something in common-she's also on disability now. She has systemic lupus and is no longer able to work in her field(nursing). And she has a child in the National Guard who (stupid kid) is itching to go to Iraq.
