Penn And Teller Get Hippies To Sign Water Banning Petition

This is too funny.

Penn and Teller send an assistant to get gullible joiners to sign a petition banning dihydrogen monoxide, plain water.

Warning: Some bad language (including the name of their show, Bull**it.)

I once heard some moron on the radio actually say that he didn't need anything from modern society because he rode a bicycle everywhere.

The show host politely asked the caller if he manufactured the bicycle in question himself.

The caller actually said "What does that have to do with anything?"

The host then asked where the bicycle was made.

"China" was the reply.

The host asked the caller if someone rode the bike to his neighborhood bike store from China.

The caller hung up.

There really ought to be a bounty on morons.

It'd be a public service.

Reminds me of The Man Show collecting signatures for ending women's suffrage.

Yep, they really took a meat-axe to the PETA heads.

This was the first time I had seen pictures of PETA's luxurious headquarters in Norfolk, VA.

One of my younger brothers subscribes to this kind of 'thinking', such as it is.

He's a big enviro.

He returned from a camping trip once gushing how great it was to commune with nature and how we've 'lost something' and how great it would be to return to a 'pre-modern lifestyle'.

Mind you he was blabbering this nonsense as he was putting away his lightweight nylon tent, caring for his Gore-Tex boots, his DuPont Holo-Fil sleeping bag and cold weather gear, cleaning up the Coleman fuel stove, and packing away the rest of his dehydrated meals packed in their nitrogen filled mylar reinforced aluminum foil packages.

He then extolled the virtues of his Katydin water filter with its ceramic filter cartridges and remarked that he was glad he had a couple of Bic lighters with him because his matches got wet.

That happened when some water splashed into the Kevlar canoe he had rented for his triumphant return to the embracing bosom of Mother Nature.

All I did was smile.

Sometimes people make things too easy.

I agree with banning petition, but how do you sign water?

That's funny stuff there!! Ain't the English language grand?


Just found and tried this:
http://www.theabsurdreport.com/2007/vote%e2%80%a6%e2%80%a6don%e2%80%9dt-vote/#respond

Got my "permission granted" score:

You scored 350 out of 350 possible points, or 100.00%

A+
Not only should you vote, you should consider a career in politics.

It was quick and I'm sure most of us on FR will ace it!

You should update your knowledge and then vote."

I can't believe I missed Pelosi and Gates (though I don't remember seeing any pics of Gates). Some I had to narrow down via process of elimination. I guessed Olmert correctly even though I didn't know what he looked like.

I would have said "petition to ban water" but the mods frown on altering original headlines. I couldn't resist the urge to correct "baning" though.

It's not like hippies have any use for water, anyway.
