FRL #25 - The Great Enemy

greenspun.com : LUSENET : FRL friends : One Thread

Perhaps some of youz guyz remember back to when this here FRL was still in its infancy, and as Awficial Leader I was forced, uh, I ,mean honored, to give a speech or two. On one of these occasions, I mis-spoke or mis-typed of missed something (ever so slightly) and referred to our Enemy as our Enema. This remark has been recorded for posterior in our FRLian anals. What made me suddenly recall this hysterical episode was seeing the following quote... evidently there really is an Enema, and we are not the only ones fighting it. Consider:

"From the womb to the tomb, Madam Speaker, the Internal Rectal Service is one big enema. . . They tax our income, they tax our savings, they tax our sex, they tax our property sales profits,they even tax our income when we die."

Rep. Jim Traficant (D-Ohio) 3/20/2001, who was indicted recently on charges of tax evasion and bribery.

So the Fight continues, both within the FRL and by other non-FRLian kindred spirits. I say we send this guy a vintage fruitcake (non-fiat, naturally). Maybe it will help save him from an Enema, uh, I mean Enemy.

Long Live the FRL!

Long Live our Fruitcake Freedoms!

Which part of it - The Thinking about it or the talking about it?

S.O.B.

S.O.B.!!!!! Great to see ya post! Have the Southern Stealth Geese contingent arrived safely with Mother Goose?

Ok all youz guyz. Now 'bout that there sexual reference, I wanna be mighty clear that the quote is just that - a quote - from a speech delivered in the House (no, no, not my house - The House!) on March the 20th. (Dear Mrs. Michaels doesn't cotton to that sort of talk. Fact is, I could never use the exact language that Rep. Traficant used - Marie still has a heavy duty cast-iron frying pan, and even if she somehow lost that it wouldn't matter - cause she also shoots better than me :-(

(((((((S.O.B.))))))) It's SO nice to hear from you! :-)

"Which part of it - The Thinking about it or the talking about it?"

Thinking, talking OR participating.... if there's a tax, I'm in trouble! ;-)

The Form 1069 has 3 section, and each section has 2 paragraphs of very poorly written medical defitions; so isn't it a clear case of a six sick text tax?

-- Robert A. Cook, PE (Marietta, GA) (cook.r@csaatl.com), May 16, 2001.

Let's see if I got this straight. There are three sections on the 1069 Form - one for talking, one for thinking, and one for participating. And each of these here sections has got 2 paragraphs of sick text, making six sex sick sections. Sound about right?

This can't be right! For one thing, it only references the sick sex, which is not healthy. I would have to think that there is a vastly greater amount of potential tax revenue for healthy sex - at least 12 sections with four paragraphs each and that would be, uh, that would be 12 * 4 or something (Help S.O.B.!) So there must be another part to Form 1069 with these other healthy sex sections. I'm gonna go off now and try to calculate this all. It may take a while, but it's worth getting to the top, or the side, or the bottom of this here whole thing. I know what I'll do - I'll count real slow and make tick marks - and as soon as I figure it all out I'll post the Tick Tax. Sound reasonable?

O lordy don't tax ticks! We got zillions of 'em!

-- helen (normally@the.edge), May 16, 2001.


But Helen... Don't you want them to tax those ticks to death?? As long as they don't put a death tax on ticks....
