Why I'm depressed:

Why I'm depressed:

Over five thousand years ago, Moses said to the children of Israel , "Pick up your shovels, mount your
asses and camels, and I will lead you to the Promised Land."

Nearly 75 years ago, (when Welfare payments were introduced) President Roosevelt said, "Lay down
your shovels, sit on your asses, and light up a Camel, this is the Promised Land."

Today, the present economy has stolen your shovel, taxed your asses, raised the price of camels and
mortgaged the Promised Land!

I was so depressed last night thinking about Health Care Plans, the economy, the wars, lost jobs, diminished savings,
Social Security, ruined retirement funds, immigration, etc . . . I called a Suicide Hot-line and had to press 1 for English.

I was connected to a call center in Pakistan . I told them I was suicidal.
They got excited and asked if I could drive a truck

Yeah, he was real disappointed.

He walked a mile for that camel.

I think it was a bactrian, in which case the poor dumbass got double-humped.

That happened years ago. He served his time, was released, and they moved away, taking their menagerie of farm animals with them.

They were an odd couple. But not one you'd make a movie about...well, nowadays, they might comprise the makin's of some kind o' wierd reality show.

His wife was...obese. Actually, when you saw her for the first time, she was soooo obese that you might cry out in astonishment, Oh, beast!

They may have been wierd, but they had the saving grace (in my book) of loving animals. They had a special affection for donkeys and they both had one for a personal pet. The sad thing is that the wife overfed her donkey as she did herself and her donkey was easily distinguishable from her husband's by virtue of its obesity.

But they loved all of their animals. She even forgave the camel for ratting out her husband (they even loved rats! ).

While the husband was in the slammer, she took very good care of the camel.

It was an amazing sight to behold. Every day that he was gone, she'd tie her fat ass to a tree and walk a mile to feed that camel. Unnnnnnnbelievable!

He then proceeded to the scantron.....the gate attendant whispered in his ear....."Normy, ya gots an uglee one....and it has a landing gear"

I heard about that. It wasn't just an Eastern goat; it was a Middle Eastern goat!

You think the few pilots were laughing?

You shoulda' heard the few Arabs that was close by in the approximate near-by proximity; now they were really laughing...lasciviously, as only lascivious Arabs can laugh (Arabs eat their dates, you know).

Umm, sorry, Roosevelt never said that. Way to put down someone who guided our country through WWII and did a fine job. Did he do things I didn't agree with, sure but then I don't know any politician who is perfect.

If it wasn't for his leadership along with our Allies leadership and the countless lives lost to protect our freedoms, we might be typing this conversation in German.

Regards, James
