One Billion Dollars....
This is too true to be funny.
The next time you hear a politician use the
Word ‘billion’ in a casual manner, think about
whether you want the ‘politicians’ spending
YOUR tax money.
A billion is a difficult number to comprehend,
But one advertising agency did a good job of
Putting that figure into some perspective in
One of its releases.
A.
A billion seconds ago it was 1959.
B.
A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.
C.
A billion hours ago our ancestors were
living in the Stone Age.
D.
A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet.
E.
A billion dollars ago was only
8 hours and 20 minutes,
at the rate our government
is spending it.
While this thought is still fresh in our brain...
let’s take a look at New Orleans ...
It’s amazing what you can learn with some simple division.
Louisiana Senator,
Mary Landrieu (D)
was asking Congress for
250 BILLION DOLLARS
To rebuild New Orleans . Interesting number...
What does it mean?
A.
Well .. If you are one of the 484,674 residents of New Orleans
(every man, woman and child)
You each get $516,528
B.
Or... If you have one of the 188,251 homes in
New Orleans , your home gets $1,329,787.
C.
Or... If you are a family of four...
Your family gets $2,066,012.
Washington , D.C

And Mom stayed home to raise the kids.
What happened? Can you spell ‘politicians’!
But wait, there is MORE!
I got another email. It's from a Kenyan prince who wants to give me FREE healthcare for life! All I have to do is give him: my bank account numbers, my social security number, my confiential health information, and pay $700 per month for a policy with only a $10,000 deductible. Then he can make it happen!
Am I on a roll or what !!!!

Last week I was driving down the Interstate and passed a landscape truck with an “Obama/Biden” bumper sticker on the bumper.
I was muttering about what an idiot this guy is to advertise his stupidity.
As I pulled even with him, I look over to see him finishing picking his nose and then he proceeds to eat it....
True story!
Great … now it’s going to be nearly impossible to listen to Marley.
