Happy Birthday, Department of Homeland Security!
Has it been a whole year already? It seems like only yesterday that I was memorizing the threat color code, not knowing the difference between my guarded and vigilant hues. Ah, we’ve come a long way.
President Bush commerated the occasion by giving a speech to outline all the accomplishments of the DHS. It was a very short speech. Surprisingly, Bush failed to mention how the department successfully tracked down the fugitive Texas lawmakers who fled the state for Oklahoma, and the dramatic capture of comic Tommy Chong, who had sold bongs on his website.
If you’re like me, then you will surely want to celebrate this momentous first birthday in style. After all, failure to observe this day in patriotic fashion could lead people to think that you’re an evil doer. But how does one celebrate the first birthday of the Department of Homeland Security? Here are some helpful ideas:
* Bake a Homeland Security Cake. Insert nail clippers into the recipe. The person that gets the clippers in their slice wins a prize.
* Take your stun gun to work and give fellow employees a jolt.
Loads of laughs, and hours of stun gun fun!
* Call the police and report your neighbor for suspicious activities.
* Pretend that you’re MacGyver and duct tape your entire home in plastic sheeting.
* Before mailing the check for the phone bill, duct tape the entire envelope. The people at the phone company love that!
* Play dress-up in your best military fatigues, camouflage paint, and body armor. Then go down to the federal building and show everyone how good you look.
* Go to McDonald’s and stand quietly by the counter. Shout out the word Terrorist! to anyone that orders French fries rather than Freedom fries.
* Make believe that you’re the President of the United States and throw darts at a map of the world to decide which country you will “liberate” next.
* Follow and spy on a complete stranger. Make it obvious to them that they are being followed. Paranoia was never so much fun!
