Many a truth is spoken in jest.
A sample of the Bush jokes going around...

Probably about the same time he decided astronauts are 'spatial entrepreneurs'...

With all your honor and dignity what would you do?
This test only has one question, but it's a very important one. Please
don't answer it without giving it some serious thought. By giving an
honest answer you will be able to test where you stand, morally.
The test features an unlikely, completely fictional situation, where
you
will have to make a decision one way or the other. Remember that
your answer needs to be honest, yet spontaneous.
Please scroll down slowly and consider each line - this is important for the test to work accurately.
You're in Florida...In Miami, to be exact...
There is chaos, caused by a hurricane and severe floods.
You are a CNN photographer and you are in the middle of this great
disaster. The situation is nearly hopeless.
You're trying to shoot very impressive photos. There are houses and people floating around you, disappearing into
the water.
Nature is showing all its destructive power.
Suddenly you see a man in the water, he is fighting for his life, trying not to be taken away by the masses of water and mud.
You move closer. Somehow the man looks familiar.
Suddenly you know who it is - it's George W. Bush!
At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to take him away, forever.
You have two options. You can save him or you can take the best photo of your life.
So you can save the life of George W. Bush, or you can shoot a
Pulitzer prize winning photo, a unique photo displaying the death of one of the world's most powerful men.
And here's the question (please give an honest answer):
Would you select color film, or rather go with the simplicity of classic black and white?

I think that Black and White film would make the best photo in that situation. It would sort of "dress it up", and give it that artsy kind of feel.

Hahaha...I got this "ethics test" a couple of weeks ago in my e-mail and immmediately forwarded it to all my other friends. One of my friends replied with, "Which film is cheapest?"
