Comatose man allowed to keep job.
A man who has been technically brain dead and in a deep coma for over 20 years has been allowed to keep his various jobs, which over the years have included running an oil business, governor of the state of texas, and president of the united states of america.

the man, a george walker bush of crawford, texas, fell into a deep comatose state with no signs of brain activity after many decades of alcohol and drug abuse, and has been amazingly active and semi-functional despite his overwhelming affliction.

doctors site several cases of people leading perfectly normal lives with only half a brain, or a partial brain, and of individuals in a persistent vegetative state who lead more or less normal lives.

doctors are at a loss for an explanation over the man's ability to feed, clothe, and clean himself with no assistance, and his seemingly impossible good luck at advancing to the highest office in the land with absolutely no signs of consciousness.

2. Now that is really funny.
"WTF", I said to myself, as I read that a comatose man allowed to keep job. "No wonder" I mumbled, when I read he was in the oil. "OMG" I sputtered my I realized who you are referring to.:bounce:

3. Euthanasia has been considered by the family but the....
...republican party leadership has determined that after decades of searching for the perfect presidential candidate, they have finally found him. The Bush family has conceded to allow Dubya to remain alive, as long as corporate America pays all living expenses of the entire Bush family until the year 2505!
