Nice.

What’s even nicer is that Mother Superior knew my Dad because he had been an altar boy at the church....she never saw it coming.

You said “cupcake”!!! - gotta be something racist/bigoted/misogynistic about it....maybe on another site.

Sorry, that was all Bill Clinton.

I know nothing about Canadian politics, but I must say that a lady should find a better, more dignified way of expressing her thoughts in any public forum, especially in the Parliament.

“Conservative MP Michelle Rempel accused the government of treating the province of ‘Alberta like a fart in the room’ over employment.”

Agreed. The need for decorum and this case ladylike language is apparent.

Or, “MP Michelle Rempel accused the government of treating the province of ‘Alberta like the campfire scene in Blazing Saddles’...might have worked.

I know Terrance and Phillip but who is the “S” that is berating them?

Perhaps but there is a 'relatively' honorable history to the use of the word and the discussion of the same. I give you Benjamin Franklin; “Fart for freedom, fart for liberty—and fart proudly.” and “He that lives upon hope will die farting.” While a 4-letter word, it is a word, as used by this MP, is eloquent as a simile, a noticeable but worthless reality.

Great movie!

That’s Scott, he’s a d**k!

[Twinkie]

“Fart” sounds better than “toot”,
And really makes more “scents”
Than either “poot” or even than does
“FLAT-U-LENCE”.

Is this either a poem or a haiku?

Thanks, that was great.

Hehe

[Bigg Red]

Franklin was not a lady.
