Die Laughing With Me
Remove all liquids from the vicinity of your computer. Check the chair to make sure you are firmly seated. Then click on over to this post at Betsy's Page. It appears that no journalist anywhere can even imagine the concept of verifying the authenticity of documents before making a fool out of his- or herself. Read about The Case Of The Purloined Doodles:
A spokesman said: "Following the press conference given by the prime minister, Bill Gates and Bono in Davos on Thursday, a number of newspapers printed stories claiming that a page of notes and doodles left behind on the platform belonged to Tony Blair, and provided an insight into the mind of the prime minister.Bill Gates has not disputed his doodle authorship. No word on whether Bill is planning to seek counseling from Dr. Sanity or Sigmund, Carl and Alfred to assist him in his travail. Betsy has a nice selection of all the different diagnoses.
"They were in fact doodles made by Bill Gates.
"We look forward with amusement to explanations by a variety of psychologists and graphologists of how various characteristics ascribed to the prime minister on the basis of the doodles, such as 'struggling to concentrate', 'not a natural leader', 'struggling to keep control of a confusing world' and 'an unstable man who is feeling under enormous pressure', equally apply to Mr Gates.
"We are astonished that no-one who ran the story thought to ask No 10 if the doodles were in fact Mr Blair's, particularly as it was obvious to anyone the handwriting was totally different."
