Hey, y'all (can a non-Southerner use that term?), long time no see. Been such a (Hillary) to get into this place, I gave up for a while. Thot it would be better to come back with a groan than a whimper...
Once there was a monster, similar to the one from Loch Ness, living in the Thames River in London.It terrorized the city's inhabitants until one day, those who were true and brave enough, gathered their strength together and killed the monster. In order to deal with this landfall of suddenly available meat, they ground its carcass into spicy German sausages.Charles Dickens, at the time a reporter for The Times, wrote a newspaper article describing the events. The headline read: "It Was The Beast Of Thames; It Was The Wurst Of Thames!"

    If you really desire something, you'll find a way ?
    ? otherwise, you'll find an excuse.

    Don't beat the man up for trying to inject a "LITTLE?" humor. Try this one...A large group of Taliban soldiers are moving down a road when they hear a voice call from behind a sand-dune. "One US soldier is better than ten Taliban" The Taliban commander quickly sends 10 of his best soldiers over the dune whereupon a gun battle breaks out and continues for a few minutes, then silence. The voice then calls out "One US Soldier is better than one hundred Taliban". Furious, the Taliban commander sends his next best 100 troops over the dune and instantly a huge gunfight commences. After 10 minutes of battle, again silence. The voice calls out again "One US Soldier is better than one thousand Taliban". The enraged Taliban Commander musters one thousand fighters and sends them across the dune. Cannon, rocket and machine gun fire ring out as a huge battle is fought. Then silence. Eventually one wounded Taliban fighter crawls back over the dune and with his dying words tells his commander. "Don't send any more men, it's a trap there's actually two of them."

    i heard that one before r.miller-only it was with a texan and the mexican army. i guess people just reissue the same old jokes and change the principals to "update" the joke. good luck with future comediac ventures however.

    Quick and Wholly Unrelated Question:Is the use of WP in war operations illegal now?I'm not certain whether it's considered a chemical weapon, but it's certainly harsher than nape.I've heard that it is hot enough to melt though tank armor.

    Here is another for ya There was a texan, a russian and a mexican riding there horses throught the plains of texas. The russian takes a swig of vodka and throws the bottle into the air and shoots it. The other two are amazed and asked, "why did you do that?"The russian replies, " where i come from there is plenty of vodka."Later on down the trail the mexican takes a swig of tequila and then throws the bottle into the air and shoots it. The other two asked him his reasoning for shooting the bottle.The mexica replies, "where i come from there is plenty of tequila."As the day progresses the texan takes a swig of whiskey, throws the bottle into the air, shoots and the mexican falls to the ground dead.Therussian asked his reasoning, and the texan explained. "Where i come from there are plenty of mexicans."songdog
    Be bold in what you stand for, careful in what you fall for.
