Too bad, I was writing you a check until I saw that.
Heretics have been burned at the stake for less.
:)
I know, I was just calling my accountant to wire him the money.
No offence, mate, but:
1) The humor in your post eludes Me.
2) You would be well advised to find more creative uses for your time.
3) This sounds like Mrs. Bill attempting to deliver a joke.
4) Don’t quit your day job.
and,
5) I want the 20 seconds it took to read this mildly annoying screed back.
Cheers, and mind the door on your way out. Soon.
Hey, maybe you and I could team up. I’m applying for a grant for research to ascertain why drug addicted black kids from fatherless homes in the ghetto are attracted to the gang lifestyle. Maybe I could piggyback my request on yours?
Everyone remembers President Eisenhower warning about the military industrial complex, but in the same speech, he warned of the governmental-academic research grant complex.
You’ve just revealed the latter.
I'm looking for a grant that shows that "Global C02, Climate Warming" causes some people to vote Conservative.
So you don’t want a check, right?
I was going to ask for account information for a wire transfer.
“.........interest of showing that CO2 does not cause global warming. “
No government funding for subversives!
Do a completely deadpan pitch, and run with it. Follow-up with some extremely improbably "findings". Get a graphic artist to make some catchy illustrations.
There could be a lot of entertainment value in this project, and you might even turn a small profit.
i really did not specifically have you in mind when i wrote it. But now that i realize that You (yes capitalizing the Y, sir)...don't like it...oh my...whatever will I do?
hehehehe, I will consider it. Any collaboration is welcome, but I really don't want to get any profit for it.
“whatever will I do? “
Try not writing vanities. You’re not good at them.
Thank you for the constructive criticism. I will give it all the consideration it deserves.
On a serious note, we have Joe Bastardi, nationally renowned meterologist and Secret Freeper, doing real research on this and fighting the good fight against the GW fanatics. He is truly a treasure.
He has an entertaining Twitter feed as well @BigJoeBastardi
Apologies. I should have been more specific: “alleged” humor.
Then re-read the second point.
I believe Isaac Asimov wrote a good book on joke-making. I cannot emphasize strongly enough how much you should try to acquire and study it thoroughly. Repeatedly, as well.
Oh, and just as an aside... imbibing of The Golden Nectar so early in the day is not recommended. Try a nice cuppa instead -or coffee if that is your preference.
Cheers.
