"Yes, we are a family of 17 Antarctican immigrants who belong to the Jedi Order, and live with our pets whom we have married in three-and-a-half-way marriages. We have no clue whose children these are living among us.
We have 3 bathrooms, but no indoor plumbing. Our electricity is provided by our tank of electric eels.
Our house has 197 3/4 rooms if you count the 8 other spatial dimensions which are wrapped around us.
You've got a little string of 7th dimension on your elbow even now. Please don't take it with you when you leave, since that is where my archaeopteryx sleeps. But, it's time to bow to the carpet slugs now, so I must go. May you serve the picklewarts with gusto!"

Dang. Wish I'd thought of that.
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked it. One thing I have noticed- I see where the Constitution permits the government to conduct a census, but I can't find anywhere where it requires us to answer nor where it permits the government to punish us if we don't.
ReplyDeleteSo damned funny it required a cross-post to Free Republic.

I answered some of the questions. They are SOL for the rest of the answers unless they dig them up from the public records. How may data bases does 'government' need to spy on Americans. Keep your powder dry.
