Fools.

Cicero is at least a ten-camel girl.

40 acres and a MULE?

If I had been feeling clever last night I would have started a poll.

don't be jealous, Cicero, but it seems Chelsea Clinton is worth 40 goats and 20 cows.

Quote:

NAIROBI, Kenya - A Kenyan man's offer of 40 goats and 20 cows for Chelsea Clinton's hand in marriage may still be on the table — and Hillary Rodham Clinton has promised to convey the "very kind offer" to her daughter.

To laughter at a town hall meeting Thursday in Kenya, a reporter asked the U.S. Secretary of State if the Clintons had made a decision on the dowry offer.

After a pause, Clinton said, "My daughter is her own person, very independent, so I will convey this very kind offer."

In 2000, Godwin Kipkemoi Chepkurgor, an elected city councilor, wrote to then-president Bill Clinton through Kenya’s foreign minister, offering the animals in accordance with African tradition.

Tutu to officiate
"Had I succeeded in wooing Chelsea, I would have had a grand wedding," he told the East Africa Standard newspaper in an interview published in 2005. “I would have invited South African Anglican Archbishop Desmond Tutu to preside at the ceremony."

Chepkurgor said in 2005 that the letter prompted security checks on his friends and family. He was even called for a meeting at the Foreign Ministry in Nairobi, which he missed.

Clinton has denied rumors that her daughter, 29, is planning to get married this summer.

The offer is considered a generous one by Kenyan standards.

@ Zen

I wonder if they would have kept Hillary if we offered something similar. I would be good for part of that if they would keep her in Kenya.

I'll make you guys a deal.

I'll marry the first person that will round up and take all these cocks off my hands- those I seem to have no shortage of. :p

Aliantha · 08-13-2009, 05:27 PM

I've been thinking about this, and I've decided that there are definitely some people I'd pay less to save than others. All lives are worth something...it's just that some are worth more than others.

Shawnee123 · 08-13-2009, 07:54 PM

No, some are just worth more to others, than others.

My life means squat to Joe Schmoe. But Joe might dive into the water to save a solid gold baby because it's HIS solid gold baby.

My apologies to Jack Handey.

Aliantha · 08-13-2009, 11:03 PM

Yeah but it's all about me, so what I think is really the only relevant thought in this discussion.

You have cocks on your hands? Lots of them?

Oi, Sheldon, paradise awaits.

Shawnee123 · 08-14-2009, 07:44 AM

Oh wait, you didn't fall for that 72 cocks as your eternal reward ploy, did you?
