Halliburton Given Contract To Rebuild Cheney

October 5, 2005

WASHINGTON, DC — Halliburton was awarded an $85.5 million contract to rebuild damaged U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney Monday. "We are proud to serve the executive branch in their hour of need," CEO David J. Lesar wrote in a statement released later that day. "Due to our vast experience with oil-well fires and refinery mishaps, we are well-versed in the sort of reinforcement, rewiring, and exoskeleton refitting Mr. Cheney so desperately needs." The Department of Ways and Means defended awarding the contract to Halliburton on the grounds that they had done the original work on Cheney in the 1970s.

8. I did see that movie

And, I often wonder how he keeps living in his condition. I think if they replaced him with a look-alike, they would have tried to get a healthier one, though.

Thanks for the welcome!

9. That is hysterical !

Maybe they could start with his lips.
I've never seen anyone talk without their lips moving, except for Mr.
Dick.

Oh - wait - in that case maybe they already did use robotics?!
