  Better To Laugh Then Cry Actual conversation I had last night at a quaint little pub called "Cadillacs" with this cool hipster who I've never really talked to much before about anything except his amazing (and quite beautiful) array of tattoos. His name is Patrick. Cartoon wildcat Beth Cravens was there as well and this is a true story. Patrick: Hey! Me: Hey! Beth: How are you, Patrick? Patrick: Good. Good. Now ladies, did you hear about the president's going to do a probe on oil prices? Me: Yeah. (I cleared my throat trying to make a chortling sound.) Beth : (Made a harrumping noise sort of like a goat dying. She usually makes this noise when President George Bush is mentioned in conversation.) Patrick: What the hell is that all about? Me: I dunno. Beth : (strangling noise) Patrick: (undettered) He was an oilman. His dad was an oilman. Like he's really going to probe gas prices. That's insane. Me: (blank stare) Well, most of what he does is crazy. Beth: (makes gargling noise and picks up her Bud Light for a swallow.) Patrick: What's he doing? Calling all his old buddies in the oil industry up and say "Hey, you gouging oil prices?" And you know what they are going to tell him. I'll tell you what the're going to tell him, they are going to say "George, we ain't gouging prices." And then our president will say "Okay, thanks." Me: (openly laughing) Beth: (chortling in a way that only Beth knows how to do) You're right, man. Your absolutely right. Patrick: And you know what else, he'll come back to the American people and say "Hey, I probed high gas prices and it ain't happening." That's what's going to happen. Me: Yeah, your probably right, Patrick.(still chuckling) Patrick: (lighting his pipe, which he seems to always have) Damn, having Bush do a probe on gasoline and oil is like putting a pedophile in a preschool. And we all laughed because if we didn't laugh, we'd cry because all of our gas tanks are running a bit low. Our spirits remained high, however, because we are the plucky heroines of this tale. Make an excellent television move of the week.

Sweet story!
Sad thing is that some of his 'believers' will believe him...
 
Thanks for the laugh. Hope the elections go well. Peace,
