Obama: My new swear jar proposal should help with deficit


President Obama is trying new, innovative-if not radical-ideas to supplement the burgeoning deficit, and rolled out one on Thursday: Operation Swear Jar. The plan will call for giant swear jars to be placed in every town center across America, and appoints each and every citizen as "deputies of clean language". The cost per swear will range from .05 cents to a quarter. Every American will have immediate authority to document and report any and all swearing. Wall Street types will owe the most per swear, while the lower class will be given a special tax exemption, tax credits and mortgage relief for their foul language.


The President ended his press conference by placing a large fishbowl on the White House lawn before letting fly with a six-expletive sentence. He then reached in his pocket and withdrew $1.50 in quarters before placing them in the bowl. It is rumored that Joe Biden has already ordered staffers to start carrying bags of dimes to each of his meetings in the event that one of his famous tangents takes an ugly turn.
