Random stupid

Apparently you can pass a bill in Congress without actually voting on the bill by using some legislative "trick"

Staff Caller: "I'm sending email to this distribution list and no one is getting the email"
Help Desk Guy "Are you sure you are sending to the correct list name?"
Staff Caller: "Absolutely"  Gives list name, Help Desk Guy looks into it.  3 members of the given list name
Staff Caller: "That's not right, there should be about 80 members"
Help Desk Guy: "You are sure you have the right list?"
Staff Caller: "Yes"
Help Desk Guy checks with Applications Guy who maintains the lists.  
Apps Guy "She's sending to the wrong list"
