Goober can't come up with basics!
Shame on you for shooting down un-armed opponents in brain brawls! hehehe
The guy looks at me like I'm a ripe one. Ask away, says he.
Where is Halliburton located? He frowns. I mean, where is it headquartered? No answer. Now the rest of the locker room starts to pay attention.
How many employees does it have? Blank stare.
What were its revenues in its last fiscal year--and when is its fiscal year? Nothing.
Who are its current chief officers--just the top three? Growing anger.
Is Halliburton a public company?
Red-faced. And guys are starting to snicker and laugh. And they're tossing out other questions: What profit did Halliburton make in its last quarter?
Lots! he sputters.
And my locker room mate smiles and says, Zip! They've lost money for the last seven quarters in a row. (Hey, I didn't know this.)
Everybody's laughing out loud. The K-supporter he was talking to when this started? He's distancing himself, pretending not to hear any of this--and jamming stuff in to his gym bag so he can get out of there.
Bush and Cheney are crooked! he says.
Silence. He looks at me. Everybody's looking at me.
How do you spell Halliburton? I ask.
He pauses...says H-a-l...then he's in a mental rotary, and doesn't know how to drive out of it. One L, two L's?
Finally he mutters, "F-ing Republicans!" and flounces out of the locker room, a wave of ridicule and laughter washing behind him.
I hope he doesn't have the stones to come back for year. If Bush wins, he'll probably quit.
In the gym, for the rest of the workout session, whenever any of us from the locker room would make eye contact, we'd shout, "Halliburton!" then laugh our butts off.
Facts to leftists are like sunlight to vampires. Good show ;)
That's priceless. Brilliant play.
Thats hilarious!
You've made my day.
Early in the week I ran across a site in Va for a Victory party after kerry wins. I sent them an email and told them that I was sorry to inform them, but President Bush and Vice President Cheney would be unable to attend as they would be busy at their own celebration, a celebration of 4 more years.
Got a nasty email in return asking how any intelligent individual could not vote for kerry.
I replied with about 2 pages of flip flops, inconsistancies, stupid comments, fraud committed by democrats in registering and voting, breakins at BC headquarters around the nation. Finished it off with a graphic description of a late term abortion and then said, kerry supports this barbaric form of MURDER.
I can't understand, but she didn't have a response.
Good job. If the opportunity ever arises again try asking him who else does the kind of work Halliburton does.
Nothing like the smell of napalm in the morning!
Nice work!
can you say...
Halliburton!! or is it Halibuten? or... arrrgggg. blast you republicans
If Bush wins, then your Haliburton hater will workout in France.
The no-bid relationship between the Army and Halliburton was established under Clinton, at the Army's request.
There is reason to question whether battlefield logistics should be handled by a civilian company rather than uniformed soldiers, but the run-up to a war was not the moment to be rocking any boats.
The idea of going out to bid on the eve of war is laughable. First, who would be on the bid list? In the business of warzone logistics, Halliburton doesn't have any competitors. What would the contract look like? Are you going to reveal your battle plan to potential bidders? How many contract administrators are you going to need to process all the change orders when the logistics requirements change from hour to hour?
For warzone logistics you don't want low bidder. You want the guys that can get it done.
ROTFLOL I LOVE this! Great story, I'm going to try this approach with the next dem I meet :)
In all seriousness I find very little humor at half our nation swallowing lies. Granted it was a funny story, but the psychology of it - it's not good.
Nice. Here's another one:
"Do you think gasoline should be cheaper than it is now or more expensive than it is now?" Libs seem to complain either way.
If you want to tie it in with Halliburton, ask "Does Halliburton make more money when oil is cheap or when it is expensive?" (Answer: Cheap).
Also, "What are the names of Halliburton's chief competitors?"
"Does Halliburton have any competitors that are not owned by the French or Germans?"
"What exactly does Halliburton do?"
"If Halliburton got paid for each oil well fire they put out, why didn't they let Saddam torch more wells?"
"Are you aware that Dick Cheney gave over $20 million in stock options to charity in 2000 just to RUN for Vice President?"
"Who gets more money from the government: Halliburton or Heinz?"
another good response is: True or False
Bill Clinton awarded no-bid contracts to Halliburton
And you would be correct if you said true
Happy to hear most of your gym is going for W. For a second there, I was going to warn you that you may be going to one of those gay gyms like Bally's.
They can't answer questions...
