Subject: Gun Control


I don't care who you are, or what you believe in, this is funny.

Gun Control
Barack Obama, at a recent rural elementary school assembly in WVA, asked the audience for total quiet. Then, in the silence, he started to
slowly clap his hands once every few seconds, holding the audience in total silence.

Then he said into the microphone, 'Children, every time I clap my hands together, a child in America dies from gun violence.'

Then, little Richard Earl, with a proud West Va.. drawl, pierced the quiet and said: 'Well, dumbass, stop clapping!'
 
Good joke.

Here's a good one I saw on the political forum the other day:

An old rancher is at the doc getting his hand stitched up from a nasty barbed wire cut. As the doctor was working the talk got around to politics and Mr. Obama. The doctor asked the rancher what he thought of our president. The rancher replied, "Obama is a post turtle."

Not sure what to think, the doctor asked, "What's a 'post turtle'?"

The old rancher replied, "You know when you're driving down the road and you see a turtle balanced up on top of a fence post, well, that's a post turtle."

The rancher saw that the doctor was still confused so he went on, "When you see that turtle sitting up there on that post, you know he didn't get up there by himself. And it's plain to see that he doesn't belong up there, and he doesn't have a clue what to do now that he is up there. And then you have to wonder what kind of dumbie put him up there in the first place."

;):D

I would just like to go on record as saying:

... that is all...
 
I don't know, Stacy. For debate, here's the official description which I know you know:

Around the Grinder KnifeMaker's Chit Chat Area. For off topic posting, humor, bs'ing, etc for our hard working Knifemakers. Private Forum, posting & response to open to Basic Members & above only.

I would say this falls under the category "humor" however old it is. I guess all humor is subjective ;). True, there is a political forum for this that is probably more appropriate, but it's not like it was posted in the shop talk area. We're just makers BS'ing (about politics :D).

Are you saying it was you, Nathan (mimi) ? If so, shame on you. ;):D If that's not what you're saying, then I'm lost :confused: . Or are you screaming out of frustration, disgust, hillarity, disbelief...? On a side note, I do love Beaker. Do some YouTube searches...good stuff.

Now we all know any of these jokes can and have had the names changed. So use the joke for whatever political affiliation you choose. I guess politics has the easy ability to encite emotion. I wasn't trying to fan any flames, though I am done sitting idly by.

The Dalai Lama, at a recent rural elementary school assembly in WVA, asked the audience for total quiet. Then, in the silence, he started to
slowly clap his hands once every few seconds, holding the audience in total silence.

well, it was funny and new to me. Political but funny. Sorry if I posted in the wrong place.
Didn't even know we had a political forum.
 
I find it interesting that the teach birth control in schools, but, not gun safety. But, then I find it even more interesting that unless there are no basic safety courses in school. The number of those who have no clue about electricity, common household chemicals etc etc.

I should point out that I was poking fun. Screaming in (mock) horror. Feigned horror at a not real transgression. Here is the emoticon I was missing: :D

Now THAT'S funny! Except, the turtle on the post isn't going to cause the total collapse of our country....the "other" turtle is.

The obvious question is: how do you know this? Is there a secrete paper on post turtles that I don't have access to?:)
Or is it assumptive?
