BARNYARD HUMOR

House Speaker Andrew Romanoff, D-Denver, is known for his quick wit.

Some of Wednesday's gems:

"I think it's fair to say that, whereas, there are only a few farmers and ranchers among us, all of the members have contributed to the production of fertilizer in Colorado."

Romanoff, during a discussion on a resolution honoring "National Agriculture Day."

"Further unwarranted comparisons?"

Romanoff, after Rep. Terrance Carroll, D-Denver, quipped that presidential contender Barack Obama "reminds me of myself."

WHAT NOT TO WEAR IN THE SENATE

Sen. Ted Harvey, R-Highlands Ranch, usually sports a white button-down dress shirt, for which he offers no apologies.

"I'm white," Harvey deadpanned.

He then looked at Sen. Ken Kester, R-Las Animas, who was wearing a salmon colored shirt and tie.

"It glows," Harvey complained.

"He's so plain," Kester said, dismissively.

THEY'RE KERRSED

2 Number of state representatives named Kerr. Jim Kerr is a Littleton Republican, and Andy Kerr is a Lakewood Democrat. They often get credited - or blamed - for the other's actions.

"It's a reo-kerr-ing nightmare," Jim Kerr joked.
