    Yet another funny.

    Good night everyone, Canadian or American. Just remember that we're all bound together by basketball, the internet and the mullet.

    very funny, still love the Jesus returns to the NBA story from a few years ago, have had it pinned to my bedroom door for years now, also loved the one about Bill losing the Budget cause he forgot to save it on his PC

    Love this line

    "I guess I'll stay in the race and take the job if I get it. But, regardless, something's got to be done about this situation," Bush said. "Aren't there some agencies we could cut to clear some room under the salary cap for the president? What does the Department of the Interior do? That could probably go. Housing and Urban Development, too. We could probably sell some congressional skyboxes. That's what we did to get Nolan [Ryan] when I was running the [Texas] Rangers."

    Smeg, do you have a link to the Jesus/NBA article? I can't find it online, and I've heard awesome things about it.

    BTW, are all of the articles online and the search just sucks (or do I?)?

    Heb,

    The artcile is called something like Christ returns to the NBA ,

    Can't seem to find it anywhere, they used to have an archive of all editions, it must be like 3-4 years old now, i emailed them to find out, will let know as soon as they respond, other wise i will scan my copy in and send it to you.

    Trying to find it, found this in the T-shirt section
    http://store.theonion.com/cgi-bin/onion_store.pl?page=clothing.html&cart_id=1505862.27134

    Might have to get myself one.

    That Man on the Moon ones is one of my favorites. There were several very good mock-ups like that (including the moon one) from the Onion book "Our Dumb Century".

    Here's a link to the "Christ Returns to the NBA" joke. I read it and didn't think it was that funny, but to each his own [​IMG] :

    Just love the Kevin Willis pay out

    Though some say the media led Christ to quit basketball, many contend He quit after being betrayed by teammate Kevin Willis during a 1994 Celtics-Hawks playoff
    game. With three seconds left and the Hawks trailing by one, Christ was wide open underneath the basket for an easy lay-up. Instead of passing to the Christ, Willis
    took a wild shot from three-point range, missing the net completely. After the game, a visibly upset Christ stretched out His arms and said, "Kevin Willis, why hast
    thou forsaken me?"
