Is this for real?

What does this classic 1973 National Lampoon magazine cover have in common with the argument for higher school taxes?






The decision of our judge (that’s me) is final. Points will be awarded for wit, humor and being right. The winner will have his/her winning entry posted here on the web site. Heck, we might print a bunch of them. Let me know if you don’t want your name published.

Who could have come up with a genious contest such as this? I have so many questions!!

  1. Whose hand is on the trigger?
  2. How do you get points for being right (is there only one right answer)?
  3. If it's not higher taxes, but maybe a tiny bit of taxes, do they (whoever that is) hold a knife to your throat instead of a gun to your head?
  4. If you (Mr. Burke) decide to mass produce my winning entry and put my name on it, will I get a share of the royalties?

If you haven't figured out where the red text and the picture came from, this post is on the B4B (Bad For Board) website and was posted on Set. 27, 2008. I can see the headlines already - "Well, those Burke Watchers just don't have a sense of humor!" Is this supposed to be funny in the first place?
