If only Capitol Hill was teeming over with pink slips like that.

  By the time they get around to it, that's the only way they would be able to afford it.

      That's okay, I'm still trying to figure out why Tom Baker is standing on the Debt half of the silo cover.

        No no no silly buns, that is the Angel Moroni. I always knew Mormons were controlling Washington!
        
        WTF 11 years ago
        
        So the Mormons believe in an Italian angel?

        he's the angel of special ed.

        No, Smith was seeing how far he could push it until people realized it was a joke. I mean, the Angel Moron(i)? They really didn't (and still don't) get that?!?
        
        But they lapped it up and Smith laughed all the way to the bank--a bank filled with money and underage poontang.
        
        WTF 11 years ago
        
        That's the best part-he was actually calling his marks morons to their faces and they still didn't get it.

You know what causes penis captivus? When the glans swells up and splits open like we see here. And no, it's not great.

Large pee hole phallic cartoon.

As wedding cakes go, this is about as bad as these ones

  The beach cake looks like someone threw up on it.

  Thanks, ifh! I started losing it at "Cake and Fruit Explosion".
  1. Loki 11 years ago
    
    The sad part is the cake isn't even the worst thing in that picture. That would have to go to the old man in the background wearing the multi-colored suit and the fez hat. I get the distinct feeling that guy's got a windowless van with a tear soaked air matress in the back.

Little known fact: Thomas Jefferson actually came up with the design for the retractable roof, although his intended application was to let out of a building the stink coming off all those sweaty wigs.
1. WTF 11 years ago
  
  I thought it was to let out the stench of corruption.

    A bit of natural ventilation would've worked back then. Today high powered air moving machines would be required.
    1. Almanian! 11 years ago
      
      High powered air moving machines BUILT BY OUR CRONIES, UPON WHOM WE HAVE SHOWERED TAX AND REGULATORY INCENTIVES, would be required.

Where is Bok getting his news? Who talks about "splitting" "opening" or "retracting" the debt ceiling?
1. UnCivilServant 11 years ago
  
  True. Shouldn't it be hanging from something - ie "suspended"?
  1. gaijin 11 years ago
    
    like a sex swing?

What? I don't get it. I actually need labelz.

But you're missing the important news: Johnny Football's hand size is just shy of 10 inches #NFLCombine
Rich 11 years ago

This is truly baffling.

It's *raise* the debt ceiling, not "open" or "split" or whatever Bok is trying to say.

I would have drawn a building bulging with I.O.U.s sticking out of windows, doors and cracks in the walls. Obama is trying to rip off the roof and Boehner is offering him a bigger crow bar.
GILMORE 11 years ago

I don't get it.

What's more: I don't want to get it.
Jack Holby 11 years ago

I'll chime in...I don't get it either.

Good new is, leaving work early to go drinking.

Happy Friday, Reasonoids!
