there's a poem in there somewhere 



Tobacco Smoke Enema (1750s-1810s)
The tobacco enema was used to infuse tobacco smoke into a patient's rectum for various medical purposes, primarily the resuscitation of drowning victims. A rectal tube inserted into the anus was connected to a fumigator and bellows that forced the smoke towards the rectum. The warmth of the smoke was thought to promote respiration, but doubts about the credibility of tobacco enemas led to the popular phrase "blow smoke up one's ass."

Yeah, you know who you are!

poem 

TAUTOLOGICAL ME

Empty me of meaning--
my feet are cold, the left
Hypnos, the right Thanatos.

Twins walking toward
the center of an empty plaza.
There is one drop left

in the fountain. No beauty
here, no rococo or renaissance.
Just this poem, the water staining.

WHY SARAH PALIN IS READY TO BE VICE PRESIDENT! 

WHY SARAH PALIN IS READY TO BE VICE PRESIDENT

Sarah Palin, the Governor of Alaska went out
to a movie with her 16 friends. Why?
Because it said: below 16 not allowed!

Sarah Palin wants to buy a TV set. She goes to a shop.
Palin : 'Do you have color TV ?'
Salesgirl : 'Yes !'
Palin : 'Give me a green one, please '

Sarah Palin is filling up an application form for a job.
She supplies the information for the columns on
Name, Age, Address etc.
Then she comes to a column on 'Salary Expected',
but she is not sure of the question.
After much thought, she writes ' Yes. '

Sarah Palin goes to a store and sees a shiny object.
Palin : 'What is that shiny object ?'
Salesgirl : 'That is a thermos flask.'
Palin : 'What does it do ?'
Salesgirl : 'It keeps hot things hot and cold things cold'
Palin : 'I'll buy it!'

The next day, Sarah goes to work with her thermo flask.
Boss : 'What is that shiny object ?'
Palin : 'It's a thermos flask.'
Boss : 'What does it do ?'
Palin : 'It keeps hot things hot and cold things cold'
Boss : 'What did you put in it?'
Palin : 'Two cups of coffee and one cup of ice cream.'

After making photocopies of documents, Sarah Palin always
compares it with the original for spelling mistakes.

Why can't Sarah Palin dial 911?
Because she can't find the number 11 (eleven)
on the phone.

Sarah Palin had just bought a new computer.
She encountered some problems.
She decided to use the 'Help' command after some fiddling.
Soon after, she became very irritated and called the computer
support center.
Sarah Palin : 'I pressed the 'F1' key for HELP, but it's been over half an
hour and still nobody has come to help me!'

Sarah Palin went to her doctor with two burning red ears.
The doctor asked her what happened to her ears and she answered,
'I was ironing a skirt and the phone rang but instead of picking up
the phone, I accidentally picked up the iron and stuck it to my ear.'
'Oh dear!' the doctor exclaimed in disbelief.
'But...what happened to the other ear?'
Sarah Palin answered: 'That stupid ass called back!!!!'

Sarah Palin talks to a long-distance operator.
Palin: 'COULD YOU PLEASE TELL ME THE
TIME DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ANCHORAGE AND LAS VEGAS?'
Operator: 'JUST A MINUTE...'
Palin : 'THANK YOU,' and she puts down the phone.

After completing a jigsaw puzzle of the United States she had been
working on for quite some time, Sarah Palin proudly shows off
the finished puzzle to a staff member.
'It took me ONLY 5 MONTHS TO DO IT', Sarah Palin brags.
'FIVE MONTHS? THAT'S TOO LONG', the staff member exclaims.
'YOU ARE A FOOL.' Sarah Palin replies, 'SEE, THIS BOX,
IT SAYS FOR 4-7 YRS.’

At a bar in Sitka, a man to Sarah Palin's left tells the bartender,
'JOHNNIE WALKER, SINGLE'
and his companion says, 'JACK DANIELS, SINGLE'.
The bartender approaches Sarah Palin and asks, 'AND YOU, MISS?'
Sarah Palin replies : 'GOV. SARAH PALIN, MARRIED'.
