In accordance with last year's Congressional ruling, the US military no longer receives its funding through tax payer dollars and must now generate all revenue through the sale of baked goods and refreshing beverages.

But don't worry, scaling back our weapons development and acquisition programs is not an option. In fact we've already ordered the weapons for this coming year. We know that we can trust all Americans to help us raise the necessary funds to meet this year's $425 billion budget.

Wouldn't it be great if the military had all the money it needed and schools had to hold a bake sale to buy a textbook?

Maybe some day that dream will be a reality, but for now, as you know, the Army has to hold a bake sale to buy a tank. But now, you can get delicious baked goods online, without the hassle of having to go to a U.S. military installation.

Thanks to ARMYBAKESALE.com, freedom-loving Americans everywhere can buy delicious baked goods to help fund the acquisition of the military hardware that our armed forces so desperately need. Remember, from F/A-18E/F Super Hornet Fighter Bombers to DDG-51 Arleigh Burke class guided missile destroyers, every little bit helps. You can fight terrorism and hunger at the same time!

Choose from excting delicacies like these!

Parents know there's no better way to disperse a mob of hungry children than with the taste-tastic CC-151 Peanut Clusters. Each one delivers hundreds of high-yield flavor explosions. Available modification: CC-151A, Caramel Nut Clusters

You'll love the smell of Grapalm in the morning! Cut a wide swath through the hunger jungle with this classic jellied treat, back by popular demand!

Mmmmmmm. Remember, for only $50,000 dollars a day, you, too, can keep America strong!

Wow. You make an argument for pre-marital sex and suddenly your threads are left to die. [Cry]

Maybe it's just the idea that people would pay for the doubtful privelege of eating military food...oh, wait, something's tapping on my shoulder.
It's my sense of humor! Hey, where've you been?....Oh, that's what's funny about it?...oh, right, then...

Stormy - isn't the first rule of stand-up comedy to "know" your audience?

I find the recipe for the BG-76 Occu-pies very ammusing.

And to think if I'd worked for them all I'd have had to worry about was pies.
