well the little news boy how are you

Christopher lovely clothes you're

wearing these

days I know Drifters who are more

fashion conscious that's your style

isn't it picking on poor helpless sweet

innocent Drifters the salt of the earth

and the backbone of our country tell me

Christina you're not busy delivering

your little news newspapers and acting

like a [ __ ] and boring people with

idiotic conversation what do you do in

your spare time well I pretty much go on

dates with your mom she tries to fit me

in between the furnace repair man and

the High School

Janitor it's so sad your obvious lack of

significant income is causing you to

lash out at those greater than

yourself no it's my obvious lack of

patience for little geek wussy boys who

dress up like carpet salesmen and who

wear cologne that smells like cat urine

okay I see I'm going to have to go in

for the

k*ll this is my bank Book Read It and

Weep that's right a nine followed by two

zeros now let's see

yours um well my daddy keeps mine in a

safe deposit box down at the

bank yeah yeah a likely

story well I think I'll move on there

are dozens of people here just waiting

in line to kiss my butt

could I have everyone's attention please

I know you're all still giddy about the

free melons that Donald brought us but

listen up for a minute I'd like to

invite each of you to come up here now

and give us kind of an update on what

you've been doing this past year you go

first Fred yeah you go first this last

12 months I've just been sitting around

drinking coffee dreading

today okay who's next as most of you you

probably know I had to fire the boy that

cuts our grass because I caught him

stealing a power drill out of the garage

I actually got to spray the little

b*stard with some mace so that was

nice basically what my urologist told me

was to drink lots of cranberry

juice so he's bleeding and cursing up

the storm so I says hey sorry with that

haircut you look like a

deer this last year has been one one of

great personal satisfaction for

me as most of you know I've continued to

prosper to say that I'm a huge success

well that would be an understatement

I'm jez it's like the 1960 Democratic

Convention but I also believe in giving

back to the community and that's why

just a few short months ago when my

Minister needed some money for a new

space heater for his

trailer I handed the guy 10

bucks here's a Xerox of the cancel check

I'll pass it

around well thank you one and all and

keep hope

alive Donald's the greatest thing since

sliced Jello huh well I'll show them

I'll show them

[Applause]

all10 okay if we're all done with that

crap I'll make this brief for the last

year I've been intensely studying the

ancient martial arts of taon Hojo

low and um right now I'm going to do

something for you that even your

precious little Donald can't do I'm

going to break a giant block of ice with

my

head this ought to be good that block of

ice was for the sod is now please I need

absolute quiet for this otherwise there

could be disastrous results

I'm a rock my head is a rock from my

neck up I a

rock I'm sorry boy I just couldn't

resist pin heads all right this is

it

okay and now if you'll all excuse me I'm

going to pass

out twice in one day call

Ripley wake up

Cinderella he doesn't look so good huh

he's alive

everyone

thank you thank you one and all it's

nice to be supported by relatives that

appreciate an honest effort I'll put a

lid on that boy they're not applauding

you they're applauding Donald he's the

one who revived

you fine well it's obvious we've reached

a turning point here all diplomatic

measures have failed so there's only one

thing left for me to do go trash his

piece of crap car

what

decadence well I think I'll just leave a

little calling card for you Donald how

about couple of tuna ba*ls stuffed

nicely back in the glove

compartment I would love to see your

face when these babies turn ripe in a

couple of

days
