Funny article

Noticing the sticky on not swearing, for humor's sake I wanted to post a link to this New Yorker article; it's seriously one of the funniest things I've read in a long time.

Now that I've raised your expectations sky-high, here it is:

It probably won't be there in a week. If you want to look it up, it's the "Back Page" of the July 24 issue of the New Yorker.

Interesting use of euphemisms and circumlocution (?) to avoid mentioning the fobidden words...lol! :D
I don't get it...is it serious??? (I didnt read to he end actually...)

[nome1486]

No, none of it actually happened except for what was said in the Washington Post article. I loved the dry humor and the rapper slang, if you got to that part--such a funny image...

edit: Washington Times. Dang it, I had it right the first time!

Yeah I read something about rap things at some point ;) Well at first I thought it was serious but reading on it started to be too parodistic to be...

My favorite line: "observers gave Mr. Cheney credit for his deceptively laid-back flow."

If only something like that could happen, make the world a funny place. Well, in a matter of speaking...
