    How many zeros in a billion?
    This is too true to be funny.

    The next time you hear a politician use the
    word 'billion' in a casual manner, think about
    whether you want the 'politicians' spending YOUR tax money.

    A billion is a difficult number to comprehend,
    But one advertising agency did a good job of
    putting that figure into some perspective in
    one of it's releases.

    A.
    A billion seconds ago it was 1959.
   
    B.
    A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.
   
    C.
    A billion hours ago our ancestors were Living in the Stone Age.
   
    D.
    A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet.
   
    E.
    A billion dollars ago was only
    8 hours and 20 minutes
    at the rate our government
    is spending it!!!
