Here are some of the jokes that appeared on my FaceBook Page about what caused the earthquake in the Virginia/Washington D.C. area the other day.
I started the ball rolling with this:
Wait, is it true that the DC quake was triggered by someone dropping a copy of the Obamacare bill??
My friend Matt added:
Maybe it was the total bill for all of Michelle’s vacations.
Leo said:
Actually, it was the precipitous tanking of Obama’s approval ratings.
John then said:
I thought the planet would begin to heal after Obama was elected. Another broken campaign promise!
Jay averred:
No! the quake was George Bush’s fault.
I added:
White House Press release: “Yesterday’s earthquake has been identified as having run from Texas to Vir. It’s the Bush’s Fault Line.”
Bob said:
Michael Moore fell out of bed.
John R insisted:
It was the US Tax Code.
Doug snickered:
No, someone knocked over a stack of the tax code.
Erik corrected:
John, Doug – dropping the us tax code is at least a 7.0
Doug countered:
But tipping the stack over (as opposed to dropping it) is good for a 5.8 or so!
Erik replied:
New flash – it was not an earthquake – it was a 142 trillion dollar check – bouncing.
Ah, yes, my Facebook friends are a laugh a minute. We must laugh in the face of all this destruction wrought by Obama and his Democrat Party, after all. We must laugh or we’d collapse in despair!
