That is all.

How about "David Letterman's McCain-induced, overflowing Bile".

Will it float?

Dude, you should relax.

Do you normally crosspost your screeds to alt.fan.rush-limbaugh? (As you
did your 'Metamucil' post.)

Brady

It was a joke. Lost your sense of humor? It was topical and based on
the famed "Will it float" concept that's the subject of this thread.
That the joke may have itself been a bit bile-inducing only adds to
its bite, so to speak. maybe if you relaxed you could see something
it, a grain of truth or something.

As for the limbaugh thing, it's merely an active group filled with
ardent types of either side; it was crossposted with the political in
mind but, as the subject was Letterman, i did add the Letterman group.
Sorry to interrupt the bubbly verve here by a contrary joke at
jokester letterman's expense.

Btw brady, you're version of the 'will it float' thing had some charm
and humor in it. I liked it. Liked it better than the actual played
old shtik usually turns out when Letterman commits yet another "Will
it Float" to the eternal flame of comedic genius. Yours hit the "note"
much better, and working the stock shares to the "float" metaphor was
quite good. Of course, they would sink.
