Thanks Justin for the post. I have several best-ofs, but one of the funniest opening paragraphs..."Harrison Bergeron": <blockquote>THE YEAR WAS 2081, and everybody was finally equal. They weren’t only equal before God and the law. They were equal every which way. Nobody was smarter than anybody else. Nobody was better looking than anybody else. Nobody was stronger or quicker than anybody else. All this equality was due to the 211th, 212th, and 213th Amendments to the Constitution, and to the unceasing vigilance of agents of the United States Handicapper General.</blockquote> Which brings me to a fun little game - which organization in the U.S. now most closely resembles the USHG?
