So deaf people can enjoy them too[}:)][}:)]

Which coincedentally is why I am down here posting right not instead of in bed....


I just don't understand my wifes lack of humor about this...

I guess there are a lot of things I don't understand and perhaps never will. Like why did Kamikaze pilots in WWII wear helmets??

    I know this is an old joke. But

    Most folks seem to think that in the '30s and '40s, the helmets worn by pilots were hardshell "crash" helmets

    They weren't at all. You can easily find photos of US WWII pilots flying around wearing a cloth side cap. US test pilots began to wear modified auto racing helmets about midway through WWII, but that practice did not spread to the USAAF, USN or USMC during the war

    A primary function of the "helmet" worn by pilots was to house radio headphones. Another one was to keep the pilot warm- cockpit heaters were very bad back then in most planes, and at 20,000 feet, it is cold. An overlooked issue about kamikaze pilots wearing helmets is that it was part of their uniform

    Here's a WWII Japanese flight helmet. This thing wouldn't save you from a crash. It's leather and rabbit fur

    When you subject your wife to Dutch Oven treatment, she may understandably not find the humor in the situation.

    Tell me about it. One of my ex's even brought it up in our divorce hearing as a reason why she wanted a divorce.
    It kind of backfired on her. The entire courtroom, including the judge, found it comically amusing.

    Many moons ago man lived in caves. The caves were small for the most part and a whole tribe would have to squeeze into one to get out of the cold. A small fire in the center would give them light. With all those people in there farting and a small fire there were many explosions. Over time their farts evolved into a bad smell therefore giving them time to run like hell out of there before the explosion. Therefore saving the species from extinction.

    Imagine clean fresh air.

    Now imagine that air passing through Rosie O'Donnell.

    Any questions?

    You would think after this many years on earth, folks would learn not to "pass gas" in an evelator! I stepped in one earlier this week and was lucky enough to get back out of the door before it closed.

    Man! Some folks are just sick!

    The mental picture of too many farts and a fire producing an explosion turning the cave into a CANNON is too much! Must be one of those mornings.

    well actually kamikazes did not crash a ship every time they went out.
    There's an awful lot of water out there, sometimes they would not find a target, sometimes they would run into a fighter sweep before spotting any ship and make a run for it.

    the idea behind the kamikaze was to sacrifice oneself to kill the enemy, not just to commit suicide

    for crying out loud.... Tell a joke and you get the "well Actually" back in the day they didn't even need wings to fly, they just used super glue, feathers, and a primitive methamphetamine... The problem with this tactic though is that if you had a sore throat the engine didn't work too well-vroooommm *cough cough*...vrooommmm!!!

    Lighten up a little fellas..
