It is Wednesday, and -- given how effective our jokes are -- here's our Semiofficial Semiweekly VAWA-Thread Joke: =========================================== THE OLD SNAKE AND THE DOCTOR A old snake visited his doctor and said, "I need something for my eyes… I can't see very well these days." The doctor fixed him up with a pair of glasses and told him to return in two weeks. The snake came back in two weeks and told the doctor that he was very depressed. "What's the problem?" asked the doctor. "Didn't the glasses help you?" "The glasses are fine, Doc," answered the snake dejectedly. "But I just discovered that, for the past two years, I've been living with a garden hose."
