   This has nothing to do with your post. Just wanted to say hello from the land of my birth. I have read countless articles that Lithuanians have a drinking problem. So far no problem, haven’t spilled a drop.

   In honor of Pelmo’s drinking and Joe’s post:

   Carl Rove enters a bar located at the top of the Empire State Building in New York. It looked like a nice place and he then takes a seat at the bar next to another guy. “This is a nice place, I’ve never been here before,” Carl says.

   “Oh really,” the other replies, “it’s also a very special bar.”

   “Why is that?” Carl asks.

   “Well, you see that painting on the far wall? That’s an original Van Gough, and this stool I’m sitting on was on the Titanic.”

   “Gee, that’s amazing!” Carl says.

   “Not only that, but you see that window over there, fourth from the right? Well, the wind does strange things outside that window. If you jump out, you’ll fall about 50 feet before the wind catches you and you’re pushed back up.”

   “No way, that’s impossible,” Carl replies.

   “Not at all, take a look,” the other man replies and walks over to the window, followed closely by Carl. He opens the window, climbs over the sill and falls out. He drops 10…20…30…40…50 feet, comes to a stop, and whoosh! He comes right back up and sails back through the window.

   “See, it’s fun. You should try it!” he says.

   “Try it? I don’t even believe I saw it!” Carl shouts.

   “It’s easy. Watch, I’ll do it again.” And with that, he falls out the window, again. He drops 10…20…30…40…50 feet, comes to a stop, and whoosh!…he comes right back up and sails back through the window.

   “Go ahead, give it a try, it’s a blast!” he says.

   “Well, what the heck, OK…I’ll give it a try,” Carl says and proceeds to fall out the window. He falls 10…20…30…40…50…100… 200…300…500…1000 feet and SPLAT!!!!… ends up as road pizza on the sidewalk below.

   After calmly watching Carl fall to his death, the other guy casually closes the window and heads back to the bar and orders another drink.

   The bartender arrives with the drink and says, “You know, Superman, you’re a real jerk when you’re drunk!”

   Hear, hear! Three cheers for Pelmo across the big pond in Lithuania! Throw some Litas on the bar and drink one for me.

   Xman, I always knew Superman had a dark side, and though it’s not right…him tricking Rove to jump out the window and all…I’m tempted just to ignore it this time. Good to see somebody play a trick on Rove instead of vice versa for a change! ;-)

   Joe,

   Just wanted to say thanks for the comment on Pottersville this morning.

   I thought it was a good essay, and certainly no longer than many of JP’s, the one right before was quite long as you may have noticed.

   Oh well.

   Nice to see your blog. Terrific Rove ploy. If only.

   I’ll be baaaaaaack.

   Oh, and I’m an ex-software manager/writer/trainer/etc. from Westinghouse/McDonnell Douglas/Bell Labs days.

   Suzan

    Actually that pic of Bushie looks eerily like that actor formerly known as Will Ferrel. Speaking of Will..a choice Ricky Bobby quote:

    I like to think of Jesus as a mischievous badger.

    Yeah, his hair is looking a little Will-Ferrell curly there, and he’s arguably as funny as Will Ferrell, but the difference is Ferrell is TRYING to be funny and Bushie is usually just trying to put two words together when he gets his biggest laughs ;-)
