Don and Dan

Shadowfax

Don, yes, our very own Don, was seated next to Dan Rather on a flight from Cleveland to Atlanta. Dan attempts to engage our Don in a political discussion whereupon Don interupts and says "Dan, I would love to discuss politics with you, but first let me ask you a question." "OK" says Dan, "go ahead." "Now," says Don, " a deer, a horse and a cow all eat grass. The deer squeezes out little pellets; the cow excretes big flat pies, and the horse tosses out good-sized round clumps. How do you suppose that happens?"
"Jeez" says Dan, "I don't have any idea!"
"Then" says our Don, "what makes you think you are qualified to discuss politics. It's obvious to me you don't know sh*t!"

My apologies if this has been around before. My apologies to Don. No apologies to Dan.

So I guess that means people who discuss politics are full of BS? Sounds about right to me.

Shadow, I see you have taken quite a few liberties here. To be able to actually describe the above mentioned contours without actually being repulsive is remarkable. I always knew Don told it like it is.

And.... Dan's answer should have been something like, you're from MS aren't you?

At what point in this story did the Wild Turkey 101 come out and, did Dan choke on it or was he able to handle this fine elixir with smooth taste and intoxicating effects?

Dan Rather is a mighty qualified man in the area of bovine excrement. But, the falacy in Shadow's tale is that I would never sit in an airplane seat beside Dan Rather, any more than I would sit beside Louis Farrakhan or Shelley Winters, the only two people I dispise. And I certainly would not waste good whiskey on the man. Well, maybe if I had run it through my system one time.

Whatever

So Don, if you had the choice.. who would you prefer to sit next to: Dan Rather or Geraldo Rivera?

Choke? Aha! There's my proof that it was really a joint they were passing around at 35K feet.

High in the sky!

Don, that last sentence was spectacular! My hat's off to you. That's what I call recycling.

Don, I'm suprised that your list of those with whom you would not sit is so short. Surprised, because mine is a bit, well, significantly longer. I hate having to share a planet, let alone a plane with Babs Strident; Al Sharktooth; the woman, from Ca I think, who thisks we shouldn't drive SUVs but who flys private jets, whose name I have totally, thankfully repressed, because just thinking of her makes me crazy; Lou Grant, or whatever his real name is; Hanoi Jane; and that doesn't get started on the politicians......
