Successes

[unixronin]

I understand the House of Lords announced today the complete success of its program against liquid explosives.  As proof of this success, they declare there has not been a single terrorist attack using liquid explosives.

On this basis, I hereby announce the complete success of my personal anti-terrorist program to prevent terrorists from swimming down to the bottom of Lake Michigan and pulling the plug out.  I shall now expect a nice fat seven-figure grant from Homeland Security.

Back in the '60's there was an Elephant Joke that went approximately like this:
Man sees another man tying toilet paper to trees. He asks why he's doing it. The second man says "It keeps the elephants from hiding in the trees."
"That's ridiculous!" scoffs the first man.
"Have you ever SEEN an elephant hiding in one of these trees?" says the first man.
"Of course not!"
"See," he says smugly, "it works."

Somehow, I see the House of Lords folks looking baffled at this joke...
