Department of Peace

[TWB]

What's this I hear about creating a Department of Peas?

Some Ohio Congressman was on NPR's Market Place yesterday advocating the creation of a Department of Peas. First Homeland Security, then adding all those intelligence agencies to it--even the Coast Guard.

And now a Department of Peas.

I like peas as much as anybody. But what happened in Ohio? Have the farmers in this congressman's state lost all their pea crops? Are they pushing him for subsidies? And why does this congressman, Dennis Kucinich want a Department of Peas for the whole country? It's outrageous.

TWB "Excuse me Miss Latilla, that's a Department of Peace---Peace, not Peas."

Miss Latilla:

Oh, a Department of Peace.


Nevermind.

Pees are important -- otherwise you might explode!

 

[TWB]

And of course the alphabet would not be quite com_lete without them.

 

[cybergirly]

Are we talking about snow peas or butter peas?

Black-eyed peas. The butter things are really beans, and you can't trust 'em.
