Some jokes just write themselves.
Boy, do I feel safe now just knowing that my governing powers-that-be responsible for my homeland security and well-being are on the lookout for subversive elves (Keebler), French cuisine (frog legs), cartoon haracters (Bugs Bunny), Beatles tunes (Blackbird), fiery women (redheads), Christmas porn websites (HoHoHO.com), newly invented sex positions (ddnp), evil vegetables (Artichokes), and guys named Bubba.
The world is too fucked up to even make any sense anymore!
