Nah. When I think of butts, I automatically picture a beady eyed beret
clad fellow with a thin moustache and a sneer. Besides, there is so
much more than just the country to make jokes about: their military,
for instance, or the fact that the hot wine in California right now is
a tastey domestic running for $2 a bottle (look up "Two buck Chuck's")
while french wines are sitting on the shelves.
The only other subject I like to make jokes about now is the idea of a
Kennedy lecturing us all about reducing our excessive behavior (i.e.
Robert Kennedy's campaign against SUV's, while he lives in a 10,000 sq
ft house and flys around in a corporate jet frequently). Can we all
say, "Splash?"
