ATTENTION! THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:

I have, with the help of several other officers (including Vice President
RP White), taken control of the United States Government. This move was taken
in a reaction to President Bushs sudden illness, which somehow leaves
him bound and gagged in his bedroom. Until this condition passes, the
Military Council on State Emergency has taken control of the country.

Dan Quayle has been shot by our operatives.
The constitution is suspended, pending a new constitution which i will write.
Congress is suspended indefinitely, as is the federal judiciary.

As part of my reform agenda, I propose the following changes:

1. Every day is now Bob Marley day, effective today.

2. I am president, until I get bored with it.

3. Sodomy is now not only legal, but mandatory.

4. The Agriculture department is officially merged with the Lithuanian
National Olympic Committee. This reconstituted body will meet in Los
Angeles on Nov. 2.

5. The Department of the INterior has been sold to Jack Kent Cooke, for
$100,000 and a player to be named later. The new redskins stadium will
be located on a national park somewhere.

6. All banks must now stay open until 9pm.

Thats all for now.

I have been searching in vain for hand soap that doesn't stink.

So far all I've found is that kosher kitchen soap (what's the brand?
Rokeach or something like that?) that comes in two colors: red presumably
for the sink one uses for meat dishes, and blue for the sink one uses for
milk dishes.  It's made from coconut oil (much better use for that saturated
crap than food). Great stuff but hard to find.  A bit pricey, too, but it's
a hard soap and a bar lasts a good long time.

I bought a bar of unscented Dove.  I sniffed the outside of the package
before I took it to the checkout at Target (pronounced tahr-ZHAY').  It
didn't stink, as far as I could tell.

Back at my new apt. I opened up the package.  My nostrils were assaulted
by a mild but obvious stink.  "Damn, must have picked up another package
by mistake," I said aloud, but no, the wrapper said Unscented.

I looked at the ingredients.  Fairly high up in the list: "masking fragrance."

<AAAAAHHHHH AAAAAHHHHH AAAAAHHHHH AAAAAHHHHH >

what shit damn fire alarm keeps going off. need to get that thing fixed  
soon. It was 7:40 AMStewart barely moved from the bed. He knew it wasn't a  
fire, this had happened countless times before. Soon he was zzzzzing away  
again.

<BRRIIIINNNGG BRRIIIINNNGG>

what shit damn telephone? No, it was his roommate's alarm clock, the one  
that goes tock tock tock all night long because it's wound up. Ohhh go back  
to bed. It was 8:00 AM And soon, again, he was zzzzzing away.

<BOOM BANG SMASH>

what shit damn they tearing the place down? Sounds like an epileptic orgy on  
the roof. Stewart looked up. His roommate had just dropped the alarm clock  
on the floor. It was 8:30 AM

Stewart could no longer sleep. He knew he had to get up at 8:50, to complete  
the schedule he had set for himself - eat breakfast get to class

<YOU'RE THE MONKEY ON MY BACK AND IM GOIN TO RIDE YOU HOME OH HUMAN PONY  
GIRL>

what shit damn whos that singin'. It was another of his roommates's alarm  
clock - he lived in a 3-bedroom apartment with 6 people total. Then Stewart  
heard the bathroom door close and the shower begin. It was 8:40. Stewart was  
thinking,"this might mess up my schedule if he takes too long."

Finally, Stewart's alarm clock went off. He got up. Grabbed a towel opened  
the door to head for the shower. First glimpse good, door's open, no one in  
there. But as he approached, he saw yet another roommate, Paul, brushing his  
teeth. Stewart smoothly entered the bathroom and wrapped his towel around  
Paul's neck and pulled tight. Paul struggled and twisted around to face  
Stewart. 

Heh heh, let the day begin, thought Stewart, as he brought up his fist into  
Paul's chin and his head and slammed it against the wall. Tee Hee. Paul's  
skull slammed against a shower rack, bending it into an interesting convex  
stretched surface. Stewart then gave Paul a good shove out the door, sending  
him through the wall on the other side of the wall.

I feeeeeel good, thought Stewart, entering the shower, what a wonderful  
morning it is!

  Wired, light-headed, I head quickly down to the street.  Some 
teenage hoodlums lean on cars, tapping sticks against their palms.
I smile at them as I pass, and they smile back, excited.  They've
heard the news; they know why I'm outside.

  I top the rise and face back across the city.  The flash hits 
first, burning off my eyes, clothes, and skin.  I imagine I feel
the radiation cooking me.  It seems forever till the air shock hits 
and hurls me toward a quick death against the walls behind me.

  "Lucky I wasn't caught inside," I think, then no more.
