"Good news, ladies and gentlemen, we have finally located weapons of
mass destruction: It's Dick Cheney." --David Letterman, on Cheney's
shooting accident

"But here is the sad part -- before the trip Donald Rumsfeld had
denied the guy's request for body armor." --David Letterman

"We can't get bin Laden, but we nailed a 78-year-old attorney."
--David Letterman

"The guy who got gunned down, he is a Republican lawyer and a big
Republican donor and fortunately the buck shot was deflected by wads
of laundered cash. So he's fine. He took a little in the wallet."
--David Letterman

"Dick Cheney accidentally shot a fellow hunter, a 78-year-old lawyer.
In fact, when people found out he shot a lawyer, his popularity is
now at 92 percent." --Jay Leno

"I think Cheney is starting to lose it. After he shot the guy he
screamed, 'Anyone else want to call domestic wire tapping illegal?'"
--Jay Leno

"When the ambulance got there, out of force of habit they put Cheney
on the stretcher. No, the other guy!" --Jay Leno

"Dick Cheney is capitalizing on this for Valentine's Day. It's the
new Dick Cheney cologne. It's called Duck!" --Jay Leno

"Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally shot a man during a quail
hunt ... making 78-year-old Harry Whittington the first person shot
by a sitting veep since Alexander Hamilton. Hamilton, of course,
(was) shot in a duel with Aaron Burr over issues of honor, integrity
and political maneuvering. Whittington? Mistaken for a bird." --Jon
Stewart

"Now, this story certainly has its humorous aspects. ... But it also
raises a serious issue, one which I feel very strongly about. ...
moms, dads, if you're watching right now, I can't emphasize this
enough: Do not let your kids go on hunting trips with the vice
president. I don't care what kind of lucrative contracts they're
trying to land, or energy regulations they're trying to get lifted -
it's just not worth it." --Jon Stewart

"He is a lawyer and he got shot in the face. But he's a lawyer, he
can use his other face. He'll be all right." --Craig Ferguson

"You can understand why this lawyer fellow let his guard down,
because if you're out hunting with a politician, you think, 'If I'm
going to get it, it's going to be in the back.'" --Craig Ferguson

"The big scandal apparently is that they didn't release the news for
18 hours. I don't think that's a scandal at all. I'm quite pleased
about that. Finally there's a secret the vice president's office can
keep." --Craig Ferguson

"Apparently the reason they didn't release the information right away
is they said we had to get the facts right. That's never stopped them
in the past." --Craig Ferguson

"You know what they say, if Dick Cheney comes out of his hole and
shoots an old man in the face, six more weeks of winter." --Jimmy
Kimmel

"The Vice President says that it was an accident. He claims the guy
got in his line of fire, but the good news was he was delicious. Eat
what you shoot!" --Jimmy Kimmel

"This is a great story. You've got the Vice President, a shotgun, a
bunch of rich guys hunting tiny little birds. The only thing that
could possibly make this story better is if he shot Michael Jackson."
--Jimmy Kimmel

"The man who was shot is named Harry Whittington. He's a high powered
Republican lawyer, he was very lucky. They say the only reason that
he wasn't killed is he was wearing the body armor that never got
shipped to our troops." --Jimmy Kimmel

"But all kidding aside, and in fairness to Dick Cheney, every five
years he has to shed innocent blood or he violates his deal with the
devil." --Jimmy Kimmel

"So in summary, the Vice President of the United States shot a
78-year-old man in the face. Congratulations Mister Vice President,
you are now a Crip." --Jimmy Kimmel

Look around, Kmart, KFC, Nike, Mccus... We are already americanised as we are to a certain degree, so why the antagonism/hypocrisy? Tone down a little.


The last joke is a gem.:p

Kmart is in some trouble here in the States. Between Wal-mart and Target very few people are shopping at Kmart. Starbucks on the other hand, are every where...literally!

Here in Australia Target and K-Mart are owned and run by the same company - Coles Myer.

Target is doing well, especially in clothing, and K-Mart is doing not the greatest. Coles Myer is considering ditching K-Mart.

Haha, sounds like K-mart is about to get K.O-ed.:p

One more thing, is BigW by any chance, run by Walmart?? I'm just curious as both companies names involve "W"s.

No, Big W is a part of Woolworths. Walmart has NOTHING to do with Woolworths, except they have shared information and systems ideas for 15-20 years, but ownership is separate.
