I think every motorcycle bar should be just packed with delicate little unescorted girls. And all bars should also serve ham.

Canadian Prime Minister is a Fast Food Chain
2000-03-07 14:44:20
Okay, I'm lying. But George W. Bush did embarass himself by falling into the satire-trap of a Canadian satirist.
So Rick Mercer, this Canadian bad person, disguises himself as part of the good upstanding and honest American press, and asks George W. Bush how he feels about getting an endorsement from Jean Poutine, Canadian Prime Minister. Bush said he was all happy about it and looking forward to snorting cocaine with him and like plotting crazy Masonic world domination, but then the crowd goes silent as everyone realizes at once that the Canadian Prime Minister is actually named Jean Chretian or something, that Poutine is a fast food chain, and that nobody in Canada would endorse a Texan for anything.
Anyway, cool practical joke. And, best yet, now if George W. Bush (does like W. stand for Washington, like George Washington Carver? I'd like that) wins, he'll be all pressured into invading Canada, like in that Alan Alda movie.

Robert Helms makes a living volunteering for medical experiments. Though Helms — and almost all guinea pigs — get paid for their participation in medical trials, they are still "volunteers" according to a byzantine legal code.
