Sam: What's all this red crud on your letter? Zonker: Let me see... sealing wax! Sam: You are so lucky to be a lord, Zonker! I'd give anything to go to the royal wedding! Zonker: Actually, it's put me in a bit of a bind... if I don't go, it'll cause an uproar. I'll forever tarnish the name of St. Austell-in-the-moor Biggles-Wade-Brixham! Sam: Why wouldn't you go? Zonker: Well, it turns out the estate owes 230 years of back taxes. I could get nailed at the airport! Sam: Taxes? But aren't you a member of the Tea Party? Zonker: Hey... that's right! I'm a tax rebel! I can thumb my nose at the crown - like our forepops! Why didn't I think of that? Sam: Beats me. Zonker: What a relief! I can still haste to thither! Sam: Could you ask Kate to friend me?
Whoa, hey! Why isn’t anyone commenting on Zonker’s affiliation with the “Tea Party?”
Has no one noticed that Mr. Trudeau is actually acknowledging some other demographics in the TP beyond the the barely-literate red neck everyone associates with them?
Where’s Churchie? Where’s Howie? Why aren’t these guys commenting on this one?
Yeesh! In my day, parents actually made us kids thank people for our Christmas presents… ;-)
