To "44" .... From "43"

So what was written in the envelope? .... Any guesses?

Bush leaves message in envelope for Obama

Wednesday, January 21, 2009 10:29 PM (Washington)
Barack Hussein Obama, the first African-American President of the US, spent the first 10 minutes on his first working day at the Oval Office alone, reading a note left for him by his predecessor George W Bush in an envelope.

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said in a statement, the envelop was marked "To #44, From #43." What was written inside was not revealed by the White House. Obama is the 44th President of the US.

Gibbs said Obama arrived the Oval Office at 8-35 am and spent 10 minutes alone in the office.

"He read the note left to him by President Bush that was in an envelope," said the statement.

"At 8:45 am, White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel came in to discuss the schedule of today's events," he said. The First Lady came into the Oval Office at 9:10 am, Gibbs said.

Thereafter, Obama and the First Lady left for the National Prayer Service, which officially concluded the four days of inaugural events.

3. What in the hell could Bush have to say to our new President Obama.

I can think of only one use for the letter.

Take a guess.

6. The letter is a tradition. Clinton left one for Bush. Here's my imagined letter:

"The heater doesn't work in the master bedroom, so be prepared to freeze your ass off. And the toilet overflows every now and then. Call Charlie. And finally, here's my favorite places for takeout for pizza and Chinese food. Clinton suggested the pizza joint, and he was right. It is the best. - W "

7. After a Hard Day at Work today...

...I'm too "wiped" out to think. I mean I could go to sleep on "1000 sheets" and still snore so hard that I'd blow off a few "squares" from my "teepee".

Although my wife says that I'm a squeezably "charmin" fella. Her only regret is that my name isn't "Scott". Am I on a "roll" here?

If this were a bad pun contest, I'd probably come in "turd"!

I wanted to put in a few more, but my wife told to be merciful and end this now before I "tear off" any more of my credibility!

Peace!

12. I can only think of this stupid one ...

... remind Obama that they were both "Christians", and if that was true, then Christians forgive.

4. "I have always had trouble figuring out the Oval Office toilet-flusher.

I pray to my Holy Master, the Lord Jesus Christ, Savior of All Men and Humblest Servant to Whom I Am, that you will have better luck. Because for eight years I have been shitting in the bottom left drawer."

5. note "that toilet doesn't flush on the second floor next to the 1st bedroom

and it needs a new wax ring"

8. I think the reason it took 10 minutes to read was that it was written

in a scrawl that is most often seen in 4th grade classrooms - full of spelling and other grammatical errors. The content was probably confined to telling Obama where the keys to the liquor cabinet can be found. If it was anything more substantive, it was not written by Bush but by some staffer. I'd bet big $$ on it.

13. Wow! If this is true, it's really boring...

and if it's satire, it really makes me pissed off about the abuse I've taken on this site when I've at least attempted to make a point.

Hey author, is something omitted?

If not, I am certainly owed an apology by the hundreds who have abused my posts without even fully reading them...

Again author, throw us a bone -- GUESS YOURSELF FIRST.

I'm the last to abuse anyone posting, but WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS???
