Keep Your Cake and Lie About It Too
Washington D.C.
In a statement read in both Washington and London today conjoined liars George Bush and Tony Blair announced their decision to undergo surgery to effect a permanent separation. The decision under consideration for some time was recently brought to a head over the Niger Yellow-cake lie. Bush claiming it originated in Blair's half of the brain. Blair was outraged at the charge claiming that Bush has few independent thoughts and that most of those are lies. This particular lie is now located in a shared part of the brain. Surgeons think there is a 50-50 chance the lie will be lost in the surgery. Bush and Blair are concerned, neither wants to be left with such a whopper. Surgery will take place later this month. Both are anxious to get it over with since a lie left to fester tends to multiply. Doctor's predict a 90% chance of success. Bush and Blair hope they aren't lying.

While this is humorous, it does seem a bit insensitive in light of the recent deaths of the Iranian conjoined twins. I was quite saddened by that, as the two women seemed so vibrant.
Somehow I missed the story of their deaths, a tragic end to what could have been a wonderful beginning for both of them. I had just posted this and asked my wife if she thought it funny. She said I suppose, but they died you know. I considered removing it but decided that most would realize there was no disrespect intended.
I doubt he intended it that way... He's been saying they've been joined for months...
No, I didn't mean to imply that Norm would have intentionally made light of the death of the conjoined twins. I know he wouldn't do such a thing. It was merely an observation, not a scold.
Fair enough... :-)
