TEN WAYS TO DETERMINE
WHETHER YOU HAVE INADVERTENTLY BECOME AN ASSHOLE
1. You bought an SUV with
a television and a D.V.D. player in it, and you blame having
done so on your children
2. You talk on your cell
phone during movies and justify it by the fact that other people
are also doing it, probably
3. You begin to make all
your moral, ethical and political choices based on how they will
affect the amount of taxes you pay
4. You not only start
thinking that things were much better when you were young (or,
alternately, that things are much worse now), but you start saying
it, to anyone who will listen
5. You have begun to believe
that a person's worth really can be judged by how much their
shoes cost
6. You place entirely
too much emphasis on spelling, either by thinking good spelling
is completely unimportant or by thinking that bad spelling makes
someone's opinion worthless
7. You have said "do
you know who I am?" to a service industry employee
with sincerity
8. You find yourself gloating
over the demise of communism even though you are not a former
citizen of a Soviet bloc nation and you didn't actually have
anything to do with it
9. You get very angry
in traffic not because it is generally slow, but because you
think it is more important that you get to wherever you're going
than it is for other people to get to where they're going
10. You are Dennis Miller

TEN PEOPLE AFFILIATED
WITH THE FOX NEWS CHANNEL AND AMUSING WAYS IN WHICH THEY COULD
BE KILLED
1. Sean Hannity: tied
to a wheelchair with timed explosives strapped to his body, then
shoved down Mount Everest
2. Bill O'Reilly: fed
a ten-course meal that has been laced with powdered concrete,

the next time he takes a shit
3. John Podhoretz: covered
with ground turkey and fed to a group of homosexuals and negroes
who have been starved and teased for several weeks
4. Brit Hume: placed inside
a very tight, wet leather domination outfit, then set out in
the sun
5. Geraldo Rivera: decapitated,
then his head sent to Charles Manson in a box
6. Roger Ailes: injected
with sodium perborate, a chemical agent which inhibits the absorption
of moisture, so that he drinks and drinks but nevertheless shrivels
into a dessicated husk
7. Brian Kilmeade: dropped
naked down a smokestack
8. Neil Cavuto: forced
to eat his entire month's salary in coins
9. David Horowitz: drawn
and quartered by a cement mixer, a manure truck, a NASCAR pace
car, and a taxicab driven by a Yemeni immigrant

his name when he's boarding a private FOX News helicopter, so

and his head his chopped off by the helicopter blades
