Let's Discuss This

Billy was riding his bike on a highway along a California beach when suddenly the sky clouded above his head and, in a booming voice, the Lord said:

"Because you have tried to be faithful to me in all ways, well maybe some ways or at least you thought about it, well whatever, I will grant you a wish."

Billy pulled over and said: "Build a bridge to Hawaii so I can ride over anytime I want."

The Lord said, "Your request is materialistic. I can do it, but it is hard for me to justify your desire for worldly things. Think of the enormous challenges for that kind of undertaking. The supports required would reach the bottom of the Pacific Ocean! The concrete and steel would be in the trillions of tons! It would nearly exhaust several natural resources. Take a little more time and think of something that wouldn't be so difficult."

Billy Boy thought about it for a long time. Finally he said, "Lord, I wish that Hillary would become president. I want to know how she feels inside, what she thinks the meaning of "is" is, why she hates President Bush so much, why we democrats are so stupid, and how can I make all my lovers truly happy."

The Lord hesitated then replied, "You want two lanes or four lanes on that bridge?"

(Ed. Note: The "First Family" again? We think not!)
