Fame... Not all it's Cracked Up to Be.

Suicide bombers' favourite magazine "What-Makes-U-Tick" recently did a biographical study of the rich and famous. It is soon to be made into a fifteen part Television Series by CNN.

It appears that few, if any of them, were actually happy with their station in life. Envied by millions all over the world, yet they felt they would have been much happier as somebody else.

The article titled "I Always Wanted to Be..." disclosed the following wish list.

1. Richard Burton......"a glass blower."
2. Errol Flynn.... "a horse".
3. Abraham Lincoln.... "an upstanding Free Mason like John Wilkes Booth."
4. Maggie Thatcher...."a tough no-nonsense leader like Winston Churchill or Papa Doc".
5. Shirley MacLaine.... "Cleopatra's palm reader."
6. Marilyn Monroe.... "the crew of a Russian battleship."
7. George W. Bush.... "Elvis Presley."
8. Elvis Presley.... "President of the United States."
9. Tony Blair.... "Albert Pike."
10. Adolf Hitler.... "Albert Pike."
11. Bono of U2.... "Albert Pike."
12. Albert Pike.... "Satan."
13. Pope Francis.... "Bono or Tony Blair."
14. The Dalai Lama...."Anything."
15. Anything.... "not the Dalai Lama."
16. Napoleon.... "Jesus... after He resurrected."
17. Fred Astaire.... "a chiropodist."
18. David Cameron.... "a really professional accountant... or a Scottish bagpipe
farmer."
19. Judas Iscariot... "a toilet cleaner at Caesar's palace."
20. J.K. Rowling.... " a real writer, not somebody who has to pay thousands of internet and media hirelings to convince the Sheeple, week after week, year after year, that she is the genuine article, so that she and her buddies can go on fleecing them with plagiarised bull they can't seem to get enough of."

The funny story above is a satire or parody. It is entirely fictitious.
