I can visualize a funny epitaph on a tombstone. I’ll leave it to your imagination.

What a wacky little illustration, the mind boggles lol.

Let's see, the first two individualist birds (are they grouse or just thinking too hard) fail to master the coconut, we know this because international signage tells us so.

But, the third one, good little collectivist doves apparently, who aren't grousing or thinking too hard, form a collective and harness the coconut.

The question is, what is the coconut, the bourgeoisie? Or is it the Third World? Dissonant if so, it's just so exploitive. So, it must be the bourgeoisie or capital, something straight out of their little manifesto.

The whole thing looks sort of greenie and recycled, too. Nice touch if you enjoy obscure propaganda, and I do.

(No, I really don't have too much time on my hands, it's just funny and it's everywhere if you're looking for it).

“a laden swallow bombing run”

African or European swallows?

I don’t get any of this crazy India trip. It is totally outrageous on so many levels.

They didn’t remove the coconuts for Bush...

What the hell is going on? No, really.

I think we should be contacting our congressional folks and have them start demanding an explanation...NOW!

All of this is beyond belief...

An Indian swallow of course:

“Since that I know 200 million dollars a day is being spent, I’m less worried about a hairy nut hitting our hairy nut.”

No huge nut would hurt Obama, but do you know why not?

Answer: Professional courtesy.

I have no idea what this thread is about, so here's a picture of Obama with a coconut (cream pie) on his head

Have you been here yet with this?

Today is Jim Robinson's birthday!
Please money bomb the Freep-a-thon thread to get this done today on Jim's birthday!!

[Doogle]

LMAO........just had a delay reaction..

[OrioleFan]

Statistics show you are less likely to be hit by a falling coconut if you are sitting in the “back seat”...

[Doogle]

...I didn’t think his cancellation of the Indonesia trip last year because of the Obamacare bill was too important was the reason....people there are not impressed with the coconut

[garyhope]

Not me, I was praying for one.

So I guess the daily bill is now up to only 201 million dollars a day to protect our dear leader.

It’s a Woot Shirt take on a Monty Python skit. See the post following yours...

In other news, the sacred cows that wander the streets in India will all be given a cocktail of Prozac and Xanax to keep them mellow during Obama’s visit. All citizens in Mumbai will be required to slow walk with their hands on their head so as not to make the First Couple feel threatened in any way.

[hoosiermama]

Just to leave a lovely bunch of coconuts.

[RegulatorCountry]

Clearly African Swallows, then. It’d be laden with potatoes or something, if it were European. The mystery of the little squiggles is solved, too, they’re thinking too hard.

[Slings and Arrows]

While India was getting rid of its coconuts, America was getting rid of its turkeys.

Does this have anything to do with the Marx Brothers?
