No wonder.

No wonder the Obama administration changed the name of Toxic Assets.
It sounds like a giant beer dump taken the morning after a rough night of partying when you woke up in bed with the fat chick you used to tell your friends, "shouldn't walk near the San Andreas fault line."

Psychic Bet.

ME: Hey, what's up?
UNCLE ED: Uh, Katy. When did you say your friend was moving out here to live in the house?
ME:Well, like May. But that actually might not happen. Why?
UNCLE ED: Well it seems I might not be able to drive sometime in April.
ME: Wait are you serious? Why?
UNCLE ED: I got a letter that implied the district attorney might take away my license for that time I was arrested in Costa Mesa.
ME: Wait, I'm confused... Was it implied, or stated.
UNCLE ED: Uh, well. It was implied.
ME: Wait, what exactly did the letter say?
UNCLE ED: Uh, it said. It said in April that my life will be turned upside down. Anyways, the only thing I can think of is the ticket in Costa Mesa.
ME: Uncle Ed. Did you get this letter from the District Attorney or a Psychic??
UNCLE ED: ...
ME: Uncle Ed, tell me.
UNCLE ED: A psychic.
ME:So all it said was your life will be turned upside down in April? You do realize that this a ploy to get you to send more money right?
UNCLE ED: Well anyways, the only thing I can think of is the arrest in Costa Mesa.
ME: Uncle Ed! Seriously, how many times have these psychics been right. I want a number and an example.
UNCLE ED:..... Well, like 30% of the time.
ME: Remember when the psychic said, "something bad will happen to someone in your family." And you thought my parents were getting a divorce. And then, they didn't. So when have they been right?
UNCLE ED: They said my mom's heart murmur was going to get worse.... and it did.
ME:Did they say that exactly? Or did they say something more vague
UNCLE ED: They said her heart problems would get worse.
ME: Yeah, but Grandma was 90. That is a pretty safe psychic bet.
UNCLE ED: Well, all I can think of is that they will probably take my license away.
ME: Okay, that ISN'T going to happen.
UNCLE ED: Well what if it does?
ME: Then you will take the bus like other people. Like all your friends do. Or like I do.
UNCLE ED:Anyways, I was thinking I would sell the house and move in with Kathy.
ME: Why on earth would you move to Colorado to live with my parents if you had no car?? It's not like you have a job to go to anyways.
UNCLE ED: I would need someone to drive me around. (Side Note: both my parents have jobs... this would NOT happen) Uh, well maybe I should hold off on looking for a job then. Just in case I lose my license.
ME: You aren't looking anyways... This is stupid though, you shouldn't let a psychic by mail rule your life!
UNCLE ED: Anyways, should I call the court to ask if they are going to take away my license?
ME: *sigh* No, that probably isn't a good idea. They might change their minds and take it away because you sound crazy.
UNCLE ED: So, um, you don't think I should?
ME: NO.
UNCLE ED: Anyways, we will see.
ME: If you get your license taken away I will pay you 20 bucks and we can go see a movie.

19 Reasons why I love my Uncle Ed, and why you should too.

1. He lounges in his white underwear and t-shirt until the wee hours of the morning.
2. He laughs at extremely inappropriate moments, i.e. when people get hurt on TV, when something bad happens to someone on TV, basically when anything that is bad happens…on TV.
