Mr Speaker, I propose

Now that President George W. Bush seems to sign whatever piece of legislation comes his way, I would like to propose the following Amendment to the Constitution of the United States:

Whomsoever shall, whether it be in printed media, through televisual means or in any other public form, make use of the term 'funnyman' in reference to a person who is, or may be perceived to be, a professional comedian, shall be subject to cruel and unusual punishment, the crueler and the more unusual, the better.
