"We've been giving out one MRI per person."
Did ya'll hear this on MSNBC? It was pretty funny; it was some city official that said this. :rofl: They're talking about the relief effort, giving out water and ice and so on. I'm sure they meant MRE's.... but still.

12. Right after Wilma Jeb announces they're getting stuff ready
why not before? hey, you twits, have you ever heard of preparation? argh argh argh. And the news presented it as a wonderful thing "Wilma has passed and now we're starting to get trucks ready." You get supplies ready before. argh argh argh.
