"That means instead of using a hoe, you use a backhoe." -- President George Bush speaking to a campaign rally in Charlotte, NC on Friday

You have got to be kidding me. But that wasn't his latest and greatest. Paraphrasing from last night's Countdown, Bush said, 'There are people who want us to leave (Iraq) and we should.' Quickly catches himself, 'We need to stay and finish the job.'

Does anyone have the correct quote, it was hilarious. And yeah, I'm going to issue hoes and tablespoons to the laborers. We've been waaaay too productive lately.

Fred,

I think you missed the joke.

Ok, long day, JDM. What was the joke? Maybe I'm just too linear being a civil engineer and all.

|9.21.04 @ 3:22PM|

Here you go Fred:

Or instead of using, you know, a regular old standard typewriter, you use a computer.

Now think about, you know, Cover-Your-Assgate.

Thanks S.A.M. and JDM. Too focused on construction to think about the back-stabbery that is Washington politics.

I got the joke, and I'm a civil engineer. Quit maligning your brethren. :D

I'm a software engineer, which, of course, requires more non-linear thinking, so maybe you're on to something. Ahem.

Or maybe it's not the creative thinking so much as the fact that the word "computer" in a sentence just draws my attention to the point where I jump up and down, clap my hands, and giggle.

I, on the other hand, am a consultant. I am used to ripping my clients subtley from time to time.
