[Bella_Bru]

In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of “word for the day”. Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the “word of the day”; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-) Practice makes perfect.....post on....

Here's a great mad cow joke from an episode a few years ago of a Canadian skit show called This Hour Has 22 Minutes. Stop me if I've told this here before (I think I have)! (That title's a take off on a 60-Minutes-like show that was on CBC back in the 60's called This Hour Has Seven Days which got in all kinds of trouble for having "documentaries" on bare-breasted go-go girls and similar 60's fauna. The one time I went to watch it after hearing all the fuss and to see the nekkid wimmen it had been pulled because of the controversies and replaced with: a Holocaust documentary, my first exposure to those pictures and films. Yikes!).

ANYWAY, the joke, from their "news" segment:

The British government announced today that in an attempt to fight mad cow disease, they may have to kill as many as 12.5 million cows. In a related story, Camilla Parker-Bowles has left the country.

BWWAAAHAHAHAahahahah... oh, man, it hurts...
