Ahhhhhggg! Hasn't any body on this thread heard the song "there's a hole
in the bucket..."?  I have to admit, the last time I heard it was about
13 years ago in Canada (grade 9, gawd, I feel old, and I'm only 26). I
can't remeber the words exactly, but the gist is:

Liza:fetch me some water, dear John
John:there's a hole in the bucket, dear Liza
Lize:fix it
John:there's no wood
Liza:chop some
John:the axe is blunt
Liza:sharpen it
John:there's no water for the stone
Liza:fetch some
John:there's a hole in the bucket

Now, lets drop this whole bucket, chainsaw, soap, kitchen sink thing.
Alaric is right, it HAS gone past the point of funny.
