AP)-President Bush announced today a replacement for resigning FDA chief Lester Crawford. Chester Crabbes, a retired pipefitter and now part-time auto mechanic from Beaumont, TX has been tabbed for the high profile position. Upon hearing the news Chester said, “I wear bibs, heavy shoes and like hand tools so I figger I can relate to all those hot head gals giving Dubya a hard time. Now, somebody get me some hand soap, I guess I got some horses to milk.”

Chester Crabbes?
I wonder if that’s the same Chester Crabbes who was my bunkmate at the Foursquare Gospel Evangelical Baptist Bible Camp, way back when in Lufkin TX. One helluva guy, Chester was, and cussed like a drunken sailor whenever he got into the sauce, which was quite often.

Shoot, I’ll give ol’ Chester a call — maybe he needs a good deputy chief.
