There is a synergy of being able to get large amounts at a time - saves on time, logistics, transport etc.

How much do you think it would work out per lb if you hire 380,000 people to each get a 2lb thing of ham from their local Food Lion?

Ham at $0.79 per lb.

Why don't the Democrats just give everyone who voted for them (indigent demographic) a coupon for a ham (myself, I'd like some mozzarella and process cheese with that ham sandwich!)? Instead of a chicken, like they used to?

Or $20 bills like they do in Chicago, Philly, etc.?

Yeah during the next Katrina, Fema can hand out free ham coupons or 20 dollar bills :roll:

The stupid is strong with this thread.

We pause now to salute a group that doesn't often get the credit it deserves: people with no sense of humor.

They move right to the absolutist declaration that because they don't find it funny, it isn't funny.

And this is how it should be. For just as surely as America would be a mere shadow of itself without a sense of humor, neither can humor flourish without the humorless.

A major attraction of most humor is the knowledge or belief that somewhere, someone is shocked or offended by it. This bonds joke-teller and audience into an alliance that "gets it" and has just scored against the offended parties that do not.

Humor draws that kind of line, from the satire of Lenny Bruce or Dick Gregory to the slash-and-burn of "Saturday Night Live" and Howard Stern, through comics as disparate as Leno and Letterman, Imus, Richard Pryor and the Marx Brothers.

Look at Pat Buchanan or Rush Limbaugh. To their adversaries, they're humorless ideologues. To their admirers, they're a riot.

Maybe the highest level of humor zen is to get laughs from both Lenny Bruce and Limbaugh.

But no matter where one finds humor, it's always more satisfying if someone else is simultaneously exclaiming, "That's not funny!"

So let us today salute that simple phrase. Without it, America would be a much less humorous place.

I have a dream. The State will take care of me. They will tell me where I can live and what job I get to do. Sounds just like communism. Dont forget the bread lines.

I think you misread the daily Republican/faux news letter. You are supposed to call everybody a socialist now.
