as Stoopid does.
So I went to change the trolling motor batteries on the Ranger this morning and noticed that the holders were all cracked needing replacement. So, I pulled the batteries, pulled the holders, went to get new ones, returned and replaced the holders. I then went to install the batteries and spent a 45 minutes wondering what I did with the second jumper cable, cursing like a drunken Squid for being so stoopid in losing the cable. I'm looking for an additional cable to wire the batteries in parallel instead of series. D'Oh!!!! When I finally figured it out, I started cursing like a drunken Squid again for being so freakin' stoopid. ~~ mutter ~~ |

"First of all, I don't think I called for a deadline," Mr. Bush said, during a press appearance with Mr. Berisha in the courtyard of a government ministry building. He was reminded that he had. "I did?" he asked, sounding surprised. "What exactly did I say? I said deadline? O.K., yes, then I meant what I said." The reporters laughed." |

You'd think a head of state with probably the largest paid staff of any potentate in the known world would have been told by someone how to address the Pope. Had Bush rewired Tom's battery, someone would have been electrocuted. |

I think every president should be accompanied by a person whose sole job is to be deadly accurate with a cream pie, and a very good listener. "Is our children learning?" |
