A Question for George Bush

George Bush goes to a primary school to talk to the kids to get a little PR. After his talk he offers question time. One little boy puts up his hand and George asks him his name.

"Stanley," responds the little boy.

"And what is your question, Stanley?"

"I have 4 questions:

First, why did the USA invade Iraq without the support of the UN? Second, why are you President when Al Gore got more votes? Third, what ever happened to Osama Bin Laden?" Fourth, why are we so worried about gay-marriage when 1/2 of all Americans don't have health insurance?"

Just then, the bell rings for recess. George Bush informs the kiddies that they will continue after recess.

When they resume George says, "OK, where were we? Oh, that's right: question time. Who has a question?" Another little boy puts up his hand. George points him out and asks him his name.

"Steve," he responds.

"And what is your question, Steve?"

"Actually, I have 6 questions:

First, why did the USA invade Iraq without the support of the UN? Second, why are you President when Al Gore got more votes? Third, whatever happened to Osama Bin Laden? Fourth, why are we so worried about gay marriage when 1/2 of all Americans don't have health insurance? Fifth, why did the recess bell go off 20 minutes early?

And sixth, what the hell happened to Stanley?"

Clarky:Its strange, i was a bit dumped the first few days, but this time off is giving me time to reflect & change to a healthier mental attitude.I kinda got sucked into the "This is your life" domain for a while...meaning, i thought i was doing the right thing by working so hard to make cash...i was wrong. Lookin forward to listening & hearing yer comments on the new axe bud.I got plans for my own, but right now patience seems to be the key b4 i can afford to empty my thoughts on the intended luthier here.They build world class basses but a lad i met many years ago Xavi "works on the electrical side of things told me they can build me anything i want & after a visit to the workshop his words were confirmed

...........SHORT INTELLIGENCE QUIZ........

The following short quiz consists of 4 questions and will tell you whether you are qualified to be a professional. Scroll down for each answer. The questions are NOT that difficult. But don't scroll down UNTIL you have answered the question!

1. How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?

















The correct answer is: Open the refrigerator, put in the giraffe, and close the door. This question tests whether you tend to do simple things in an overly complicated way.

2. How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator?

















Did you say, Open the refrigerator, put in the elephant, and close the refrigerator?

Wrong Answer.

Correct Answer: Open the refrigerator, take out the giraffe, put in the elephant and close the door. This tests your ability to think trough the repercussions of your previous actions.

3. The Lion King is hosting an animal conference. All the animals attend... except one. Which animal does not attend?

















Correct Answer: The Elephant. The elephant is in the refrigerator. You just put him in there. This tests your memory. Okay, even if you did not answer the first three questions correctly, you still have one more chance to show your true abilities.

4. There is a river you must cross but it is used by crocodiles, and you do not have a boat. How do you manage it?

















Correct Answer: You jump into the river and swim across. Have you not been listening? All the crocodiles are attending the Animal Meeting. This tests whether you learn quickly from your mistakes.

According to Anderson Consulting Worldwide, around 90% of the professionals they tested got all questions wrong, but many preschoolers got several correct answers. Anderson Consulting says this conclusivly disproves the theory that most professionals have the brains of a four-year-old.

Share this with all of your smart friends.








PS: Just the fact that I posted this should make you feel good.

A woman runs into a clubhouse at a golf course and says that she was stung by a bee.

The golf pro asks where she was stung and she replies between the first and second hole.

The golf pro says the the first thing that she should do is narrow her stance.

'Super Size Me' Filmmaker Sizes Up Jail

The West Virginia filmmaker who chronicled his decline during a steady diet of fast food in the superpopular documentary "Super Size Me," spent 24 days behind bars for another video report and discovered, he said, that inmates are not all bad guys.

Morgan Spurlock checked into the Henrico County Jail in February and left with some shattered stereotypes.

"One of them is that you imagine jail, and prison, being filled with all these bad guys," Spurlock told the Richmond Times-Dispatch. "And I'll be the first person to say there's people that are locked up who should be locked up. But at the same time, I think there's a lot of good, honest, genuine people in there who made a mistake ... "

Spurlock's experience will air July 26 on the FX network, launching the second season of his "30 Days" documentary series.

Spurlock said he chose the suburban Richmond jail after reading an article about Sheriff Mike Wade and a drug-rehabilitation program his department started.

"Henrico is one of the few places that recognizes that just punishing somebody for being a drug offender isn't enough," Spurlock said.

An agreement was signed, and Spurlock was processed at Henrico's Jail West on Feb. 8, after he was "sentenced" to 30 days in jail for a phony contempt-of-court charge. The show's production company paid for the cost of the incarceration.

Wade said Monday that prisoners were told Spurlock was the focus of a documentary but was not identified as the filmmaker.

"He lived in a cell like everybody else," Wade said. "We treated him just like an inmate."

The county jail system includes approximately 1,200 prisoners accused of offenses ranging from drug counts to murder.

"Of course he didn't stay with any of the capital murderers," Wade said, adding, however, that Spurlock did spend 72 hours in solitary confinement.

Many of the inmates took to Spurlock, after some initial skepticism.

"There were some people here that kind of doubted his sincerity on why he was here, but he dealt with that, he got over it pretty quickly," inmate Wesley Stanbach said.

He went to church, tutored inmates, worked 15-hour shifts in the kitchen and eventually made it to the trustee dayroom.

"I think Morgan was a great guy," Stanbach said. "I consider him a friend."

Spurlock also got to know 25-year-old Michael "Travis" Ramsey of Highland Springs, who was filmed going through heroin withdrawal during Spurlock's stay. "He definitely showed concern for my well-being," said Ramsey, who shared a cell with Spurlock.

Wade said Spurlock did not "serve" his full 30 days because he was satisfied with the footage he had over 24 days.

Slanshroom- thanks for the computer warning- but it's all virus-free on my Mac... sorry you got a virus though, hope the pics didn't cause it. I think it more likely to be from a music download site, don't know... when I used to have a PC that was where the probs always seemed to start.

Cap Steve- I was in the chat last night but must have checked out before you were there... C.I. Holmes

Zenfish- lol definitely pizza for Matt... we will see you again one day!

Good Afternoon Satchland..... Simply A Gorgeous Day In Chicago. How Are you Today?

Water Proof Soap..... Some nice words about Kayla. Yeah, we're all kinda stuck on her....lol...... That was Cool of you.

OPCS470...... Nice Vid. Did your keyboardist happen to see the vid on Billy Preston sing "That's The Way God Planned It" from The Concert For Bangla Desh posted last week?...lol..... Really you all played well. That's a great song. Congrats on the Jemfest Gig.

Have A Great Day Everyone ! ! !

Edit..... Civgeek.... Flexable is one of my favorite CD's. "Call It Sleep" is unbelievable. Best song for Whammy Bar techniques ever. Plus you have a very young Stu Hamm and Chad Wakerman on there. Spectacular playing. Ohh ! ! ! Can't forget "The Attitude Song". I have that also as Guitar Player Song Page when Vai was commin' up. Remember those?

I'll tell ya ZEN there is clearly one of the true musical geniuses of our time......rest well frank.

as to the influence on steve vai...............its SO obvious and has been for those of us who have been listeners/fans of Frank Zappa......and Mr. Vai has made ample statements to that effect!!!!


While on the subject matter of genius .......just wanted to make sure and give the "NOD OF APPROVAL" to the following:

The Mahavishnu Orchestra

Return to Forever


and all the respective members of those groups who went on to create music that not only displays the virtuosity they posess as instrumentalists............but the true genius of composition and form!!!!!!


Peace..............................................John
