I guess things ar'n't so bad as I thought!

151,000 Iraqis killed since U.S.-led invasion: WHO



I was under the misaprehension that lots of people were dying over there! But if its only somewhere between 104,000 and 223,000 between March '03 and June 2006 then I guess I have been misled by the liberal media conspiracy this whole time.

Even the maximum of a quarter of a million people is really hardly a dent in the countries population is it? Even if the majority of those people had never harboured a bad thought about, let alone made made a threatening gesture to anyone from the countries that make up the occupying forces.

Don't forget that they should only be counting children as half a person, if that. I mean, babies can't be more than a quarter of a person, surely.

Every day I chop up and grind twenty pounds of chicken into bone-studded meat-paste. Well, some days it's thirty pounds.

The best way to accomplish this and not get grossed out is to imagine the chicken is something else. Sometimes I try and relate it to my own body. So twenty pounds is say, from my knee down. Then sometimes I imagine it's a baby, but I'm not too experienced with how quickly the average baby grows. So, I just sort of guess that a year-old baby weighs about as much as my leg from the knee down.

So, in conclusion, a baby should be counted as half a leg; hardly consequential in the grand scheme.

Well now I have no choice but to picture you as a a mutant with legs made of ground up baby paste.

This will be especially bizarre since I've always thought of you as a gnome.

C'mon, Tony's right on the ball here. Notice that he didn't say "...murderous intentions of Islamic extremists...". He's prolly talking about Bush and company, because it was the only way he could say the above quote with a straight face.
