I saw the Pope with President Obama on TV today. Standing together they made the perfect couple of Salt and Pepper Shakers.
Exact replicas made from ceramic, 3" tall, sold empty.-- xandram, Sep 23 2015 Did I say his own helicopter? I meant to say "his own helicopter fleet" http://www.hqmc.mar...il/hmx-1/About.aspx [Voice, Sep 24 2015] "We must... stay the, coarse."(+)-- 2 fries shy of a happy meal, Sep 23 2015 I want to be KING! And POPE! KING of the POPES!-- bungston, Sep 23 2015 Haven't several popes been killed by kings?
I wonder if Obama could have the pope asssassinated if he really wanted to.-- Voice, Sep 23 2015 That's the problem with USA. No king, no queen. Nobody whose job is purely ceremonial. This means that, at all official functions, the president has to turn up looking like a businessman with no taxpayer-dollar-wasting gold and panache.
Here, we know full well that heads of government are boring* and represent "the average man"**. This is why we never, ever use them for important parties and suchlike.
*apart from fucking dead pigs **apart from fucking dead pigs.-- MaxwellBuchanan, Sep 23 2015 Between the white house, underground bunkers, security staff, his own 747 customized out the wazoo, a multibillion dollar personal helicoptor, and slush funds the president of the US wastes quite enough tax dollars thank you very much.-- Voice, Sep 23 2015 Yes, but what do you, the people, get for it? You get some guy who looks like the head of a car dealership, and who can't do a bit of bling without being whinged at.-- MaxwellBuchanan, Sep 23 2015 //That's the problem with USA. No king, no queen. Nobody whose job is purely ceremonial.//
Hey man, I've been suggesting that ALL offices of government be made purely ceremonial.Take all their power away and give 'em a nice hat.-- doctorremulac3, Sep 23 2015 That's by far the safest option.-- MaxwellBuchanan, Sep 23 2015 There are plenty of queens here!-- xandram, Sep 24 2015 //That's the problem with USA. No king, no queen. Nobody whose job is purely ceremonial.//
Nonsense. Haven't you seen the Vice President's job? Or the Sargent at Arms? (Although if we elect any worse buffoons to Congress we may need to forcibly remove them).-- RayfordSteele, Sep 24 2015 Love it. I want too. +-- blissmiss, Sep 25 2015 After all this lively political conversation, I'm thinking we will need an entire Salt and Pepper Shaker Chess Set!
The Queen can be in that, too.-- xandram, Sep 25 2015 I would like to see Obama dressed in all white next to the pope dressed in all black.-- JesusHChrist, Sep 25 2015 Smoking, or Non-smoking ...??-- 8th of 7, Sep 25 2015 White pepper and black salt?-- xandram, Sep 25 2015 /bit of bling without being whinged at/ It really seems like that should rhyme.-- bungston, Sep 25 2015 Thanks for the bone...someone doesn't like salt or pepper? There must be a cult against condiments!-- xandram, Sep 28 2015 I didn't even know he liked cats.-- 2 fries shy of a happy meal, Sep 28 2015 Is the pope catatonic?-- MaxwellBuchanan, Sep 28 2015 No, that was the previous one. Is the Pope cathodic?-- RayfordSteele, Sep 29 2015 // Is the Pope cathodic?// Ah, no (duh).-- neutrinos_shadow, Sep 29 2015 You all are going to hell, talking about a religious figure in such a manner. Ha. See ya in hell fellow bakers. (Hi [neutrinos].-- blissmiss, Sep 30 2015 Are there cats in hell?-- 2 fries shy of a happy meal, Sep 30 2015 I don't believe in hell...but why ask about cats? I know that All Dogs go to Heaven...but if [8th] went to Hell, then there would be cats there for him!-- xandram, Sep 30 2015 Hi, [blissmiss]! <waving>-- neutrinos_shadow, Oct 01 2015 There has been a lot of talk, recently, about Christians being mocked for their religiosity. Some of this is, hopefully, my fault. I think the time has come to campaign, in the interests of a fair and level playing field, for an atheist pope.-- MaxwellBuchanan, Oct 02 2015 random, halfbakery
