Here’s a small conversation between a couple of people I work with that struck me as funny. Maybe it was the “sharks with frickin’ laser beams” remark, but I appreciate the sarcasm interlaced within a somewhat meaningful conversation.
<jason> $512.9 billion in defense spending for the 2007 fiscal year. <--- zounds
<Al> not nearly enuff
<jason> that doesn't even include the continuous "emergency" appropriations that we keep handing out for the endless war
<Al> just think the weapons we'd have if we spent more
<jason> we're already designing kinder / gentler nukes.... what more could you ask for?
<Al> we need to have "laser" that can kill a person from space
<jason> we need to have sharks with frickin' laser beams on their heads
<Al> we need to have a sheild that can stop a "laser" from space
<Al> nice glad you got my reference
<jason> we need to enclose the entire nation in an all-weather roof and turn it into the world's largest shopping mall.
<Al> i am so there
<jason> when asked for a comment, a white house spokesperson would only say, "well, at least we didn't sell it to the fucking japanese"
<Al> we could have artificial fresh air
