When asked in an afternoon press conference about the status of the FBI hunt to find this criminal, President Bush’s only comment was, “got wood?”

A clever escape plan, should someone attempt to chase him down. As they would reach for him, he would break away, and leaf them.

Thanks for the recent pun threads! The fact is, it’s been dormant for a while.

My take is, the guy is a former employee of Lendingtree.com.
He got cut there, and was looking to branch out.

That would be profiling, and in this PC age we can't do that.
