By Jove I Think I've Got It...
Thanks to my brother, Walt, who sent the following email to me yesterday. In my post titled "Ok Uncle Sam What's Next?" I was less than pleased with our government about passing the bail out bill with all of the pork this week. On top of that we are hearing of a couple of states hinting about needing to be bailed out too!
Let me get this straight, we will bail out all of those overpaid executives with the enormous Golden Parachutes get off scot free and, we have to cover that loss that they created? Hmmmmmmmm
Ok Uncle Sam, I think that I have the solution to this hiccup in our economy. Please read my solution below:
A first grade teacher collected well known proverbs. She
gave each child in her class the first half of a proverb and
asked them to come up with the remainder of the proverb.
It's hard to believe these were actually done by first
graders. Their insight may surprise you.
While reading these keep in mind that these are first
graders, 6 year-olds, because the last one is a classic!

Hey Congress, if you have a problem making the right decision and are more concerned about which one of your friends will get the pork let me suggest that you setup a committee of first graders and let them make your decisions for you!!
