Tom Brokaw: Alright. [ graphic of Gerald Ford and a commuter plane ] "Stunning news from Michigan, as former President Gerald Ford was chopped into little bits by the propeller of a commuter plane."

Voice of Producer: Good. One take.

Tom Brokaw: Alright, we got it?

Voice of Producer: No. We've got "eaten by wolves".

Tom Brokaw: What? Now, come on!

Voice of Producer: Just read it!

Tom Brokaw: Gerald Ford isn't gonna be eaten by wolves!

Voice of Producer: Taft was.

Tom Brokaw: Really? Taft?

Voice of Producer: Uh.. yeah.

Unlike the hunting these wussy Texas rednecks do, hunting in Alaska carries the risk of death.

Hey, is it our fault that the Apache & Comanche couldn't handle it? Geesh!! ;)

Sorry, that was in bad taste. We do have wild pigs here, though, that will take you out with their tusks if they get the chance. The Spaniards used to hunt them with spears, from horseback, where they stood a pretty decent chance of the pig getting under the horse and gutting it right out from underneath the rider. Now that's what I call real man hunting!! :shocked:

Nice.....a joke for the three guys who still watch that stupid show. :thumbsup:

Uhh...It's a Dana Carvey sketch from like 10 years ago!

I see, well that makes it much more topical and relevent and so much less obscure.

You seem awful bitter about the fact that you didn't get it. It's only a joke. Settle down.

Hey, don't blame us just because your mommy and daddy wouldn't let you stay up late back during the Carvey years!
