ROFL

That reminds me of George Carlin's 11 aclock news skit:

"First of all the headlines: Welcome wagon runs over newcomers, good humor man slays ten, pen pal stabs pal with pen, pediatrition dies of childhood desease and Jaques Cousteao drowns in bathtub accident."

That also reminds me of real life irony- that Joe Mcarthy dies of cancer of the mouth.
