Letter Of The Day

this really could be a finalist for our annual award.

Have you heard they are doing a sequel to the movie “The Gang That Couldn’t Shoot Straight”?

The cast is President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney. Bush will play the part of “Little Smirky Cowboy” and Cheney will play the part of “Shotgun Shaney,” the fastest shotgun in Texas (maybe not the most accurate).

First scene: They are driving a stagecoach to Baddog, Texas. The dialogue goes like this:

Little Smirky Cowboy: Git up thar on the stagecoach, Shotgun Shaney, and be durn careful of the shotgun, it goes off too easy.

Shotgun Shaney: That’s what you get once you buy one of them unreliable $1,000,000 shotguns from the Haliburton Company.

Little Smirky Cowboy: I know what you mean, I sat on one of their $15,000 toilet seats at the hotel last night and got a big splinter in my you know what. The pain was so bad, it durn near wiped the smirk off my face.

This is a sample of what will be a big hit movie. Haliburton is the producer, tickets are $2,000 each, popcorn, $500 a bag, and pop, $300.
