A gushy reporter
told Phil
Michelson, "You
are spectacular,
your name is
synonymous with
the game of
golf. You really
know your way
around the
course. What's
your
secret?"Michelson
replied, "The

A young man and
a priest are
playing
together. At a
short par-3 the
priest asks,
"What are you
going to use on
this hole my
son?" The young
man says, "An
8-iron, father.
How about you"?
The priest says,
"I'm going to
hit a soft seven
and pray."The
young man hits
his 8-iron and
puts the ball on
the green. The
priest tops his
7-iron and
dribbles the
ball out a few
yards. The young
man says, "I
don't know about
you father, but
in my church
when we pray, we
keep our head
down
Police are
called to an
apartment and
find a woman
holding a
bloody5-iron
standing over a
lifeless man.The
detective asks,
"Ma'am, is that
your
husband?""Yes"
says the
woman."Did you
hit him with
that golf
club?""Yes, yes,
I did." The
woman begins to
sob, drops the
club, and puts
her hands on her
face."How many
times did you
hit him?""I
don't know,
five, six, maybe
seven times.....
just put me down
for a five."
A golfer teed up
his ball on the
first tee, took
a mighty swing
and hit his ball
into a clump of
trees. He found
his ball and saw
an opening
between two
trees he thought
he could hit
through. Taking
out his 3-wood,
he took another
mighty swing;
the ball hit a
tree, bounced
back hit him in
the forehead and
killed him. As
he approached
the gates of
Heaven, St.
Peter saw him
coming and
asked, "Are you
a good golfer,"
to which the man
replied, "Got
here in two,
didn't I?"
The bride came
down the aisle
and when she
reached the
altar the groom
was standing
there with his
golf bag and
clubs at his
side. She said:
"What are your

A Florida senior citizen drove his brand new
Corvette
convertible out of the dealership.
Taking off down the road,
he floored it to 80 mph, enjoying
the wind blowing through what little hair he had left.
"Amazing!" he thought as he
flew down I-75, pushing
the pedal to the metal even more.
Looking in his rear view mirror, he saw the highway patrol
behind him, blue lights flashing and siren blaring.
"I can get away from him - no
problem!" thought the elderly speedster as he floored it to
100mph,
then 110, then 120mph.
Suddenly, he thought,
"What on earth am I doing?
I'm too old for this
nonsense!",
pulled over to the side of the
road and waited for the Trooper to catch up with him.
Pulling in behind him, the Trooper walked up to the driver's
side of the Corvette,
looked at his watch and said,
"Sir, my shift ends in 30
minutes.
Today is Friday.
If you can give me a reason why
you were
speeding that I've never heard before, I'll let you go."
The man, looking very seriously at the Trooper, said, "Years
ago, my wife ran off with a Florida State Trooper. I thought you were bringing
her back."
"Have a good day, Sir," said the Trooper

PEDRO
It was the first day of school and a new student named Pedro Martinez
the son of a recently immigrated Mexican restaurateur, entered the
fourth grade,
The teacher said, "Let's begin by reviewing some American history. "Who
said 'Give me Liberty, or give me death?'"
She saw a sea of blank faces, except for Pedro, who had his hand up.
"Patrick Henry, 1775."
"Very good!" apprised the teacher. "Now, who said, "Government of the
people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth?"
Again, no response except from Pedro: "Abraham Lincoln, 1863."
The teacher snapped at the class, "Class, you should be ashamed! Pedro,
who is new to our country, knows more about its' history than you do!"
She heard a loud whisper: "Screw the Mexicans!"
"Who said that?" she demanded.
Pedro put his hand up. "Jim Bowie, 1836."
At that point, a student in the back said, "I! 'm gonna puke."
The teacher glared and asked, "All right! Now, who said that?"
Again, Pedro. "George Bush to the Japanese Prime Minister, 1991."
Now furious, another student yelled, "Oh yeah? Suck this!"
Pedro jumped out of his chair waving his hand and shouting to the
teacher,
"Bill Clinton to Monica Lewinsky, 1997!"
Now, with almost a mob hysteria, someone said, "You little shit. If you
say
anything else, I'll kill you!"
Pedro frantically yelled at the top of his voice, "Gary Condit to
Chandra Levy, 2001."
The teacher fainted, and as the class gathered around her on the floor,
someone said, "Oh shit, we're in BIG trouble now!"
Pedro whispered, "Saddam Hussein, 2003."
A few days ago I was having some work done at my local garage. A blonde
came in and asked for a seven-hundred-ten. We all looked at each other,
and another customer asked, "What is a seven-hundred-ten?" She replied,
"You know, the little piece in the middle of the engine, I lost it and
need a new one. It had always been there." The mechanic gave the blonde
a piece of paper and a pen and asked her to draw what the piece looked
like. She drew a circle and in the middle of it wrote 710. He scratched
his head in wonderment and then took her over to another car which had
the hood up and asked, "Is there a 710 on this car?"
She pointed and said, "Of course, it's right there." Now open the photo.

A couple had
been debating the purchase of a new car for weeks.
He wanted a new truck. She wanted a fast little sports car.
He would probably have settled on any truck while all the sports
cars she liked were way out of their price range.
"Look," she said, "I've always dreamed about having something
that goes from like 0 to 200 in 4 seconds. And my birthday is
coming up. You could surprise me."
For her birthday, he bought her a brand new bathroom scale.
Services will be at Downing funeral home next Monday. Due to
the condition of the body, this will be a closed casket service.
In lieu of
flowers, please send a donation to the "Think before
you give things to your wife foundation."
A man
enters the confessional and says to the priest, "Father, it has been
one month since my last confession. I have had sex with Nookie Green
every week for the last month."
The
priest tells the sinner, "You are forgiven. Go out and say three Hail
Mary's."
Soon
after, another man enters the confessional.
"Father, it has been two months since my last confession. I have had
sex with Nookie Green twice a week for the last two months."
This
time the priest asks,"Who is Nookie Green?"
"A new
woman in the neighborhood," the sinner replies.
"Very
well, " sighs the priest. "Go and say ten Hail Marys."
At
Mass the next morning, as the priest prepares to deliver his sermon, a
gorgeous, tall woman enters the sanctuary. All the men's eyes fall
upon her, as she slowly sashays up the aisle and sits down right in
front of the priest. Her dress is green and very short, with matching
shiny emerald green shoes. The priest and altar boy gasp, as the
woman in the matching green shoes and dress sits with her legs
slightly spread apart.
The
priest turns to the altar boy and whispered, "Is that Nookie Green?"
The
bug-eyed altar boy replies, "No, I think it's just the reflection off
her shoes."

Subject: cab drivers
A woman and her son were taking a cab in New York City. It was raining and
all the hookers were standing under the awnings.
"Mom," said the little boy, "what are all those women doing?"
"They're waiting for their husbands to get off work," she replied.
The cabbie turns around and says, "Geez lady, why don't you tell him the
truth? They 're hookers, boy! They have sex with men for money."
The little boy's eyes get wide and he says, "Is that true, Mom?"
His mother, still glaring hard at the cabbie, answers in the affirmative.
After a few minutes, the kid asks, "Mom, what happens to the babies those
women have?"
"Most of them become cab drivers," she replied

Subject: Never question a drunk
Why you never question a drunk!
A woman was shopping at her local supermarket where
she selected
a half-gallon of 2% milk,
a carton of eggs,
a quart of orange juice,
a head of romaine lettuce,
a 2 lb. can of coffee,
and a 1 lb. package of bacon.
As she was unloading her items on the conveyor belt to
check out, a drunk standing behind her watched as she placed the
items in front of the cashier.
While the cashier was ringing up her purchases, the
drunk calmly stated, "You must be single"
The woman was a bit startled by this proclamation, but
she was intrigued by the derelict's intuition, since she was
indeed single.
She looked at her six items on the belt and saw
nothing particularly unusual about her selections that could have tipped
off the drunk to her marital status.
Curiosity getting the better of her, she said "Well,
you know what, you're absolutely correct. But how on earth did you
know that?"
The drunk replied, "Cause you're ugly"
Women's Ass Size Study
There is a new study out about women and
how they feel about their asses!
The results of this study are pretty interesting:
a.. 85% of women think their ass is too big...
b.. 10% of women think their ass is too little...
c.. The other 5% say that they don't care,
they love him, he's a good man,
and they would have married him anyway.

My mother had morning sickness AFTER I was born.
My father carries around the picture of the kid who came with
his wallet.
When I played in the sandbox the cat kept covering me up.
I could tell that my parents hated me. My bath toys were a
toaster and a
radio.
One year they wanted to make me poster boy... for birth
control.
Once when I was lost I saw a policeman and asked him to help
me find my
parents. I said to him, "Do you think we'll ever find them?"
He said, "I
don't know kid. There are so many places they can hide."
I remember I was so depressed I was going to jump out a window
on the tenth
floor. They sent a priest up to talk to me. He said, "On your

A girl phoned me and said, "Come on over. There's nobody
home." I went over.
Nobody was home!
A hooker once told me she had a headache.
I knew a girl so ugly, she had a face like a saint--a Saint
Bernard!
I went to see my doctor... .I told him once,
"Doctor, every morning when I get up and look in the mirror I
feel like
throwing up. What's wrong with me? He said, "I don't know,
but your
eyesight is perfect."
.
My psychiatrist told me I'm going crazy. I told him, "If you
don't mind, I'd
like a second opinion." He said, "All right. You're ugly
too!"
I was so ugly, my mother used to feed me with a slingshot!

A blind man enters a Lesbian Bar by mistake.
He finds his way to a bar
stool and orders a drink.
After sitting there for a while, he yells to the bartender, Hey, you
wanna hear a blonde joke?
The bar immediately falls absolutely quiet. In a very deep, husky voice,
the woman next to him says,
before you tell that joke, sir, I think it is just fair - given that you
are blind
- that you should know five things :
1. The bartender is a blonde girl.
2. The bouncer is a blonde girl.
3. I'm a 6 feet tall, 120 kg blonde woman with a black belt in karate.
4. The woman sitting next to me is blonde and is a professional
weightlifter.
5. The lady to your right is blonde and is a professional wrestler.
Now think about it seriously, Mister - do you still wanna tell that joke?
The blind man thinks for a second, shakes his head, and declares,
Nah ..not if I'm gonna have to explain it five times.
The Wedding Test
My girlfriend and I had been dating for over a year when we decided to
get married. My parents helped us in every way, and my friends
encouraged me.
My girlfriend? She was a dream! There was only one thing bothering
me. That one thing was her younger sister.
My prospective sister-in-law was twenty years of age, wore tight
miniskirts, and low cut blouses. She would regularly bend down when
near me, and I got many a pleasant view of her underwear. It had to be
deliberate. She never did it when she was near anyone else.
One day little sister calls and asked me to come over to check the
wedding invitations. She was alone when I arrived.
She whispered to me that soon I was to be married, and she had feelings
and desires for me that she could not overcome and did not really want
to overcome.
She told me that she wanted to make love to me just once before I got
married and committed my life to her sister.
I was in total shock and could not say a word.
She said, "I'm going upstairs to my bedroom, and if you want to go
ahead with it just come up and get me." I was stunned.
I was frozen in shock as I watched her go up the stairs. When she
reached the top, she pulled down her panties and threw them down the
stairs at me.
I stood there for a moment, then turned and went straight to the front
door. I opened the door and stepped out of the house and walked straight
toward my car.
My future father-in-law was standing outside. With tears in his eyes,
he hugged me and said, "We are very happy that you have passed our
little test. We could not ask for a better man for our daughter.
Welcome to the family!"

to be a true story -- it's quite incredible!! Enjoy!! Jan

Subject: forensic science
At the 1994 annual awards dinner given for Forensic Science, AAFS President Dr.
Don Harper Mills astounded his audience with the legal complications of a
bizarre death. Here is the story:
On March 23, 1994, the medical examiner viewed the body of Ronald Opus and
concluded that he died from a shotgun wound to the head.
Mr. Opus had jumped from the top of a ten-story building intending to commit
suicide. He left a note to that effect indicating his despondency. As he
fell past the ninth floor his life was interrupted by a shotgun blast passing
through a window, which killed him instantly. Neither the shooter nor the
deceased was aware that a safety net had been installed just below the eighth
floor level to protect some building workers and that Ronald Opus would not have
been able to complete his suicide the way he had planned.
"Ordinarily," Dr. Mills continued, "a person who sets out to commit suicide and
ultimately succeeds, even though the mechanism might not be what he intended, is
still defined as committing suicide." That Mr. Opus was shot on the way to
certain death, but probably would not have been successful because of the safety
net, caused the medical examiner to feel that he had a homicide on his hands.
In the room on the ninth floor, where the shotgun blast emanated, was occupied
by an elderly man and his wife. They were arguing vigorously and he was
threatening her with a shotgun. The man was so upset that when he pulled the
trigger he completely missed his wife and the pellets went through the window
striking Mr. Opus. When one intends to kill subject "A" but kills subject "B" in
the attempt, one is guilty of the murder of subject "B."
When confronted with the murder charge the old man and his wife were both
adamant and both said that they thought the shotgun was unloaded. The old man
said it was a long-standing habit to threaten his wife with the unloaded
shotgun. He had no intention to murder her.
Therefore the killing of Mr. Opus appeared to be an accident; that is, if the
gun had been accidentally loaded.
The continuing investigation turned up a witness who saw the old couple's son
loading the shotgun about six weeks prior to the fatal accident. It transpired
that the old lady had cut off her son's financial support and the son, knowing
the propensity of his father to use the shotgun threateningly, loaded the gun
with the expectation that his father would shoot his mother.
Since the loader of the gun was aware of this, he was guilty of the murder even
though he didn't actually pull the trigger.!
The case now becomes one of murder on the part of the son for the death of
Ronald Opus!!
Now comes the exquisite twist ----
Further investigation revealed that the son was, in fact, Ronald
Opus!! He had become increasingly despondent over the failure of
his attempt to engineer his mother's murder. This led him to jump off the
ten story building on March 23rd, only to be killed by a shotgun blast passing
through the ninth story window!!
The son had actually murdered himself so the medical examiner closed the case as
a suicide!!!
(A true story from Associated Press, Reported by Kurt Westervelt)

These have been around a few
times, but they're still worth a chuckle.
In his book, Sled Driver, SR-71
Blackbird pilot Brian Shul writes: "I'll always remember a certain radio
exchange that occurred one day as Walt (my back-seater) and I were screaming
across Southern California 13 miles high. We were monitoring various radio
transmissions from other aircraft as we entered Los Angeles airspace. Though
they didn't really control us, they did monitor our movement across their
scope.
I heard a Cessna ask for a readout of
its ground speed."90 knots" Center replied. Moments later, a Twin Beech
required the same. "120 knots," Center answered. We weren't the only ones
proud of our ground speed that day as almost instantly an F-18 smugly
transmitted, "Ah, Center, Dusty 52 requests ground speed readout." There was a
slight pause, then the response, "525 knots on the ground, Dusty." Another
silent pause.
As I was thinking to myself how ripe
a situation this was, I heard a familiar click of a radio transmission coming
from my back-seater. It was at that precise moment I realized Walt and I had
become a real crew, for we were both thinking in unison. "Center, Aspen 20,
you got a ground speed readout for us?" There was a longer than normal
pause.... "Aspen, I show
1,742 knots" (That's about 2004.658 mph)
No further inquiries were heard on
that frequency.
--------------------------------------------------
In another famous SR-71 story, Los Angeles Center reported receiving a request
for clearance to FL 600 (60,000ft). The incredulous controller, with some
disdain in his voice, asked, "How do you plan to get up to 60,000 feet?
The pilot (obviously a sled driver),
responded, "We don't plan to go up to it; we plan to go down to it." He was
cleared.
-------------------------------------
The pilot was sitting in his seat and pulled out a .38 revolver. He placed it
on top of the instrument panel, and then asked the navigator, "Do you know
what I use this for?"
The navigator replied timidly, "No,
what's it for?" The pilot responded, "I use this on navigators who get me
lost!"
The navigator proceeded to pull out a
.45 and place it on his chart table.
The pilot asked, "What's that for?"
"To be honest sir," the navigator replied, "I'll know we're lost before you
will."

Cherokee 180 was told by the tower to hold short of the runway while a MD80
landed. The MD80 landed, rolled out, turned around, and taxied back past the
Cherokee. Some quick-witted comedian intheMD80 crew got on the radio and said,
"What a cute little plane. Did you make it all by yourself?"
Our hero the Cherokee pilot, not
about to let the insult go by, came back with: "I made it out of MD80 parts.
Another landing like that and I'll have enough parts for another one."
--------------------------------------------------
There's a story about the military pilot calling for a priority landing
because his single-engine jet fighter was running "a bit peaked." Air Traffic
Control told the fighter jock that he was number two behind a B-52 that had
one engine shut down.
"Ah," the pilot remarked, "the
dreaded seven-engine approach."

A student became lost during a solo cross-country flight. While attempting to
locate the aircraft on radar, ATC asked, "What was your last known position?"
Student: "When I was number one for
takeoff."
--------------------------------------------------
Taxiing down the tarmac, the 757 abruptly stopped, turned around and returned
to the gate. After an hour-long wait, it finally took off.
A concerned passenger asked the
flight attendant, "What was the problem?"
"The pilot was bothered by a noise he
heard in the engine," explained the flight attendant," and it took us a while
to find a new pilot."
--------------------------------------------------
"Flight 2341, for noise abatement turn right 45 degrees."
"But Center, we are at 35,000 feet.
How much noise can we make up here?"
"Sir, have you ever heard the noise a
747 makes when it hits a 727?
Subject: Dopey and the Pope
Some jokes just have
to be passed along.......enjoy...
The seven dwarfs go to the Vatican and because they are THE seven dwarfs,
they are ushered in to see the Pope. Dopey leads the pack. "Dopey my
son,"says the Pope, "what can I do for you?"
Dopey asks, "Excuse me your Excellency, but are there any dwarf nuns in
Rome?" The Pope wrinkles his brow at the odd question, thinks for a moment
and answers, "No Dopey, there are no dwarf nuns in Rome." In the background
a few of the dwarfs start giggling. Dopey turns around and gives them a
glare, silencing them.
Dopey turns back, "Your Worship, are there any dwarf nuns in all of
Europe?"
The Pope, puzzled now, again thinks for a moment and then answers, "No
Dopey there are no dwarf nuns in Europe." This time all of the other dwarfs
burst into laughter.
Once again, Dopey turns around and silences them with an angry glare. Dopey
turns back and says, "Mr. Pope! Are there ANY dwarf nuns anywhere in the
world?"
"I'm sorry, my son, there are no dwarf nuns anywhere in the world."
The other dwarfs collapse into a heap, rolling and laughing, pounding the
floor, tears rolling down their cheeks as they begin chanting....
"Dopey screwed a penguin! Dopey screwed a penguin!"

Oh for a Cup of Irish Coffee...
An elderly Irish woman goes to the doctor and asks his help to revive her
husband's sex drive ... "What about trying Viagra?" asks the doctor.
"Not a chance," says Mrs. Murphy. "He won't even take an aspirin for a
headache." "No problem." replies the doctor. "Drop it into his coffee, he
won't even taste it. Try it and then call me in a week to let me know how it
worked out." A week later, Mrs. Murphy calls the doctor and he inquired as to
how things went. "Oh, faith and bejaysus and begorrah, it was terrible, just
terrible, doctor." "What happened?" asks the doctor. "Well, I did as you
advised and slipped it in his coffee. The effect was immediate. He jumped
straight up, with a gleam in his eye and with his pants bulging fiercely!!! He
swept the cutlery off the table, at the same time ripping my clothes off and
then proceeded to make wild, mad, passionate love to me on the tabletop! It
was terrible!" "What was terrible?" said the doctor. "Was the sex not good?"
"Oh no, doctor, the sex was the best I've had in 25 years, but I'll never be
able to show me face in Starbucks again."
The Lone Ranger
and Tonto are camping in the desert. They set up their tent and are soon
asleep. Some hours later, The Lone Ranger wakes his faithful friend. "Tonto,
look up at the sky and tell me what you see."
Tonto
replies, "Me see millions of stars, Kimosabe." What does that tell you?" asks
The Lone Ranger. Tonto ponders for a minute. "Astronomically speaking, it
tells me there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets.
Astrologically it tells me that Saturn is in Leo. Chronologically, it appears
to be approximately quarter past three. Theologically, it's evident the Lord
is all-powerful, and we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, it
seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What does it tell you,
Kimosabe."The Lone Ranger is silent for a moment, then says," Someone has
stolen our tent."
HER DIARY
Saturday night I thought he was acting weird.
We had made plans to meet at a bar to have a drink.
I was shopping with my friends all day long, so I thought he was upset at the
fact that I was a bit late, but he made no comment.
Conversation wasn't flowing so I suggested that we go somewhere quiet so we
could talk, he agreed but he kept quiet and absent.
I asked him what was wrong; he said nothing.
I asked him if it was my fault that he was upset.
He said it had nothing to do with me and not to worry.
On the way home I told him that I loved him, he simply smiled and kept driving.
I can't explain his behavior.
I don't know why he d idn't say I love you, too.
When we got home I felt as if I had lost him, as if he wanted nothing to do with
me anymore.
He just sat there and watched T.V.
He seemed distant and absent.
Finally I decided to go to bed.
About 10 minutes later he came to bed and to my surprise he responded to my
caress and we made love, but I still felt that he was distracted and his
thoughts were somewhere else.
I decided that I could not take it anymore so I decided to confront him with the
situation but he had fallen asleep.
I started crying and cried until I too fell asleep.
I don't know what to do.
I'm almost sure that his thoughts are with someone else.
My life is a disaster.
HIS DIARY
Today the Wings lost.
At least I got laid.
Little Johnny was in his nursery class when the teacher asked the
children what their fathers did for a living.
All the typical answers came up - fireman, policeman, salesman, etc...
Johnny was being uncharacteristically quiet and so the teacher asked
him about his father.
"My father's an exotic dancer in a gay cabaret and takes off all his
clothes in front of other men. Sometimes, if the offer's really good,
he'll go out to the alley with some screaming fag and have sex with
them."
The teacher, obviously shaken by this statement, hurriedly set the
other children to work on some coloring, and turned to Little Johnny
to ask
him, "Is that really true about your father?"
"No," said Johnny, "he plays for the Tigers but I was too embarrassed
to say so".

Subject: F-14 Flying Experience
I found this pretty funny. Hope you do too. From: "Crane, John (TPTNA)" Below
is an article written by Rick Reilly for Sports Illustrated. He details
his experiences when given the opportunity to fly in an F-14 Tomcat.
Now this message for America's most famous athletes: Someday you may be
invited to fly in the back-seat of one of your
country's most powerful fighter jets. Many of you already have -- John Elway,
John Stockton, and Tiger Woods to name a few. If you get this opportunity, let
me urge you, with the greatest sincerity ....Move to Guam. Change your name.
Fake your own death. Whatever you do, do not go. I know. The U.S. Navy invited
me to try it. I was thrilled. I was pumped. I was toast! I should've known when
they told me my pilot would be Chip (Biff) King of Fighter Squadron 213 at Naval
Air Station Oceana in Virginia Beach. Whatever you're thinking a Top Gun named
Chip Biff) King looks like, triple it. He's about six-foot, tan, ice-blue
eyes, wavy surfer hair, finger-crippling handshake -- the kind of man who
wrestles dyspeptic alligators in his leisure time. If you see this man, run the
other way. Fast. Biff King was born to fly. His father, Jack King, was for
years the voice of NASA missions. "T-minus 15 seconds and counting...."
Remember?) Chip would charge neighborhood kids a quarter each to hear his dad.
Jack would wake up from naps surrounded by nine-year-olds waiting for him to
say, "We have a liftoff." Biff was to fly me in an F-14D Tomcat, a ridiculously
powerful $60 million weapon with as much thrust as weight. I was worried about
getting airsick, so the night before the flight I asked Biff if there was
something I should eat the next morning. "Bananas," he said. "For the
potassium?" I asked. "No,"
Biff said, "because they taste about the same coming up as they do going down."
The next morning, out on the tarmac, I had on my flight suit with my name sewn
over the left breast. (No call sign -- like Crash or Sticky or Lead foot -- but,
still, very cool.) I carried my helmet in the crook of my arm, as Biff had
instructed. A fighter pilot named Psycho gave me a safety briefing and then
fastened me into my ejection seat, which, when employed, would "egress" me out
of the plane at such a velocity that I would be
immediately knocked unconscious. Just as I was thinking about aborting the
flight, the canopy closed over me, and Biff gave the ground crew a thumbs-up. In
minutes we were firing nose up at 600 mph. We leveled out and then canopy-rolled
over another F-14. Those 20 minutes were the rush of my life. Unfortunately, the
ride lasted 80. It was like being on the roller coaster at Six Flags over
Hell. Only without rails, we did barrel rolls, sap rolls, loops, yanks and
banks. We dived, rose and dived again, sometimes with a vertical velocity of
10,000 feet per minute. We chased another F-14, and it chased us. We broke the
speed of sound. Sea was sky and sky was sea.Flying at 200 feet we did 90-degree
turns at 550 mph, creating a G force of 6.5, which is to say I felt as if 6.5
times my body weight was smashing against me.And I egressed the bananas, I
egressed the pizza from the night before,
and the lunch before that. I egressed a box of Milk Duds from the sixth grade. I
made Linda Blair look polite. Because of the G's, I was egressing stuff that did
not even want to be egressed. I went through not one airsick bag, but two. Biff
said I passed out, twice. I was coated in sweat; At one point, as we were coming
in upside down in a banked curve on a mock bombing target and the G's were
flattening me like a tortilla and I was in and out of consciousness, I realized
I was the first person in history to throw
down. I used to know cool. Cool was Elway throwing a touchdown pass, or Norman
making a five-iron bite. But now I really know cool. Cool is guys like Biff, men
with cast-iron stomachs and Freon nerves. I wouldn't go up there again for Derek
Jeter's blackbook, but I'm glad Biff does every day, and for less money per year
than a rookie reliever makes in a home stand. A week
later, when the spins finally stopped, Biff called. He said he and the fighters
had the perfect call sign for me. Said he'd send it on a patch for my flight
suit. What is it? I asked.
"Two Bags."

A man walking along a California beach was deep in
prayer. All
of a sudden, he said out loud, "Lord grant me one wish."
Suddenly the sky clouded above his head and in a booming voice the Lord
said, "Because you have TRIED to be faithful to me in all ways,
I will
grant you one wish."
The man said, "Build a bridge to Hawaii, so I can drive over anytime I
want."
The Lord said, "Your request is very materialistic. Think of the enormous
engineering challenges for that kind of undertaking.
The supports required to reach the bottom of the
Pacific! The concrete
and steel it would take! I can do it, but it is hard for me
to justify your desire for worldly things. Take a little more time
and think of another wish, a wish you think would honor and glorify
me."
The man thought about it for a long time. Finally he said, Lord,
I wish that I could understand women. I want to know how they feel
inside, what they are thinking when they give me the silent treatment,
why they cry, what they mean when they say 'nothing', and how
I can make a woman truly happy."
The Lord replied, "You want two lanes or four on that bridge?"

mail box and again opened it, slammed it shut again. Angrily, back
into the house she went. As the man was getting ready to edge the
lawn, here she came out again, marched to the mail box, opened it
and then slammed it closed harder than ever.
Puzzled by her actions the man asked her, "Is something wrong?" To
which she replied, "There certainly is!"

Subject: FW: Alligator Shoes
A young blonde was on vacation in the depths of Louisiana. She
wanted a pair of genuine alligator shoes in the worst way, but was
very reluctant to pay the high prices the local vendors were asking.
After becoming very frustrated with the "no haggle" attitude of one
of the shopkeepers, the blonde shouted, "Maybe I'll just go out and
catch my own alligator so I can get a pair of shoes at a reasonable
price!" The shopkeeper said, "By all means, be my guest. Maybe
you'll luck out and catch yourself a big one!" Determined, the
blonde turned and headed for the swamps, set on catching herself an
alligator. Later in the day, the shopkeeper was driving home, when
he spotted the young woman standing waist deep in the water, shotgun
in hand. Just then, he saw a huge 9-foot alligator swimming quickly
toward her. She took aim, killed the creature and with a great deal
of effort hauled it on to the swamp bank. Laying nearby were several
more of the dead alligators. The shopkeeper watched in amazement
when the blonde flipped the alligator on its back, and shouted out
in frustration, "Damn it, this one isn't wearing any shoes either!"
Sarah, the church gossip and self-appointed supervisor of the

but feared her enough to maintain their silence.
She made a mistake, however, when she accused
George, a new member, of being an alcoholic after she saw his pickup
truck parked in front of the town's only bar one afternoon. She
commented to George and others that everyone seeing it there would
know that he was an alcoholic.
George, a man of few words, stared at her for a
moment and just walked away. He said nothing.
Later that evening, George, quietly parked his
pickup in front of Sarah's house...............and he left it there

Subject: Father Daughter
talk
One time there was a young teenage girl that was about to finish her year
of college. She considered herself to be a very liberal Democrat and her
father was a rather staunch Republican. One day she was challenging her
father on his beliefs and his opposition to programs like welfare. He
stopped her and asked her how she was doing in school. She answered that
she
had a 4.0 GPA but it was really tough. She had to study all the time,
never
had time to go out and party and often went sleepless because all of the
studying. She didn't have time for a boyfriend and didn't really have many
college friends because of all her studying. He then asked how her friend
Mary, that was attending the same college, was doing. She replied that she
was barely getting by. She had a 2.0 GPA, never studied. Was very popular
on
campus and was at parties all the time. She often wouldn't show up for
classes because she was hung over. He then asked his daughter why she
didn't
go to the Dean's office and ask why she couldn't take 1.0 off her 4.0 and
give it to her friend that only had a 2.0. That way they would both have a
3.0 GPA.
She fired back and said "that wouldn't be fair, I worked really
hard for mine and my friend has done nothing".
After a moment of silence,
she replied,
"I guess I will never vote Democrat again".
An Army Ranger was deployed to Afghanistan. While he was there he
received a letter from his girlfriend, in which she explained that she
had slept with two guys while he had been gone, she wanted to break up
with him, and she wanted back the photo of herself she had given him.
So the Ranger did what any squared-away Ranger would do. He went around
to his buddies and collected all the unwanted photos of women he could
find. He then mailed about 25 pictures to his girlfriend with the
following note:
"I'm sorry, I can't remember which one you are, but please take the one
that belongs to you and send the rest back."
THE SHEPHERD AND HIS FLOCK A shepherd was tending his flock in a
remote pasture when suddenly a brand-new Jeep Cherokee appeared out of a
dust cloud, advanced toward him and stopped. The driver, a 20-year-old
young man wearing a Brioni suit, Gucci shoes, Ray Ban sunglasses and a YSL
tie, leaned out of the window and asked the shepherd, "If I can tell you
exactly how many sheep you have in your flock, will you give me one?" The
shepherd looked at the young guy, then at his peacefully grazing flock,
and calmly answered, "Sure." The young man parked his car, whipped out his
notebook computer, connected it to a cell phone, surfed to a NASA page on
the Internet where he called up a GPS satellite navigation system, scanned
the area, then opened up a database and some Excel spreadsheets with
complex formulas. He finally printed out a 150-page report on his hi-tech
miniaturized printer, turned around to our shepherd and said, "You have
here exactly 1,586 sheep!" "Amazing! That's correct! Like I agreed, you
can take one of my sheep," said the shepherd. He watched the young guy
make a selection and bundle it into his Cherokee. When he was finished the
shepherd said, "If I can tell you exactly what your political persuasion
is, where you're from and who you work for, will you give me my sheep
back?" "Okay, why not," answered the young man. "You're a Democrat from
Palm Beach and you're working for Jesse Jackson," said the shepherd.
"That's correct," said the young man. "How did you guess that?" "Easy,"
answered the shepherd. "Nobody called you, but you showed up here anyway.
You want to be paid for the solution to a question I already knew the
answer to. And, you don't know squat about my business because you just

A young guy from Texas moves to California and goes to a big department

Well, the boss liked the kid, so he gave him the job. "You start tomorrow.
I'll come down after we close and see how you did." His first day on the
job was rough but he got through it. After the store was locked up,
the boss came down. "How many sales did you make today? " The kid says,
"One." The boss says, "Just one? Our sales people average 20 or 30 sales a
day.
How much was the sale for?" Kid says, "$101,237.64." Boss says,
"$101,237.64? What did you sell him?" Kid says, "First I sold him a small
fish hook. Then I sold him a medium fish hook. Then I sold him a larger
fish hook. Then I sold him a new fishing rod. Then I asked him where he
was going fishing, and he said down at the coast, so I told him he was
gonna need a boat, so we went down to the boat department, and I sold him
that twin engine Chris Craft. Then he said he didn't think his Honda Civic
would pull it, so I took him down to the automotive department and sold
him that 4X4 Blazer." The boss said, "A guy came in here to buy a fish
hook and you sold him a boat and truck?" Kid says, "No, he came in here to
buy a box of tampons for his wife, and I said, 'Well, since your weekend's
shot, you might as well go fishing."

OLD TOWN INDIANS
It was autumn, and the Indians on the remote reservation asked their
new Chief if the winter was going to be cold or mild. Since he was an
Indian Chief in a modern society, he had never been taught the old
secrets, and when he looked at the sky, he couldn't tell what the hell
the weather was going to be. Nevertheless, to be on the safe side, he
replied to his tribe that the winter was indeed going to be cold and
that the members of the village should collect wood to be prepared.
But also being a practical leader, after several days he got an
idea. He went to the phone booth, called the National Weather Service
and asked, "Is the coming winter going to be cold?"
"It looks like this winter is going to be quite cold indeed," the
Meteorologist at the weather service responded.
So the Chief went back to his people and told them to collect even
more wood in order to be prepared.
One week later he called the National Weather Service again. "Is it
going to be a very cold winter?" he asked.
"Yes," the man at National Weather Service again replied, "it's going
to be a very cold winter."
The Chief again went back to his people and ordered them to collect
every scrap of wood they could find.
Two weeks later he called the National Weather Service again. "Are
you absolutely sure that the winter is going to be very cold?"
"Absolutely," the man replied. "It looks like it's going to be one
of the coldest winters ever."
"How can you be so sure?" the Chief asked.
The weatherman replied, "The Indians are collecting firewood like
crazy."

The old Cherokee chief sat in his

US government officials sent to interview him.
"Chief Two Eagles" one official began, "you have observed
the white man for 90 years. You have observed his wars and his material
wealth. You have seen his progress and the damage he has done."
The Chief nodded that it was so. The official continued, "Considering
all these events, in your opinion, where did the white man go wrong?"
The Chief stared at the government officials for over a minute, and
then calmly replied,
"When white man found the land, Indians were running it.
No taxes. No debt. Plenty buffalo. Plenty beaver.
Women did all the work. Medicine man free. Indian man spend all
day hunting and fishing, all night screwing women."
The Chief leaned back and smiled, "White man dumb enough to think he could

For 7th Batt man
An unemployed man goes to apply for a job with Microsoft as a janitor.
The manager there arranges for him to take an aptitude test (Section:
Floors, sweeping and cleaning).
After the test, the manager says, "You will be employed at
minimum
wage, $5.15 an hour. Let me have your e-mail address, so that I can send you
a form to complete and tell you where to report for work on your first day.
Taken aback, the man protests that he has neither a computer nor an e-mail
address. To this the MS manager replies, "Well, then, that means that
you virtually don't exist and can therefore hardly expect to be employed.
Stunned, the man leaves. Not knowing where to turn and having only $10 in
his wallet, he decides to buy a 25 lb flat of tomatoes at the supermarket.
Within less than 2 hours, he sells all the tomatoes individually at
100% profit. Repeating the process several times more that day, he ends up
with almost $100 before going to sleep that night. And thus it dawns on him
that he could quite easily make a living selling tomatoes. Getting up early
every day and going to bed late, he multiplies his profits quickly. After a
short time he acquires a cart to transport several dozen boxes of tomatoes,
only to have to trade it in again so that he can buy a pick-up
truck to support his expanding business. By the end of the second year, he
is the owner of a fleet of pick-up trucks and manages a staff of a hundred
former unemployed people, all selling tomatoes. Planning for the future of
his wife and children, he decides to buy some life insurance. Consulting
with an insurance adviser, he picks an insurance plan to fit his new
circumstances. At the end of the telephone conversation, the adviser asks
him for his e-mail address in order to send the final documents
electronically.When the man replies that he has no e-mail, the adviser is
stunned, "What, you don't have e-mail? How on earth have you managed to
amass such wealth without the Internet, e-mail and e-commerce? Just imagine
where you would be now, if you had been connected to the Internet from the
very start!" "Why of course, I would be a floor cleaner at
Microsoft!" the man said.
Moral of this story:
1. The Internet, e-mail and e-commerce do not need to rule your
life.
2. If you don't have e-mail, but work hard, you can still become
a millionaire.
3. Since you got this story via e-mail, you're probably closer to
becoming a janitor than you are to becoming a millionaire.
4. If you do have a computer and e-mail, you have already been
taken to the cleaners by Microsoft.
Adam was walking around the Garden of Eden feeling very lonely, so God
asked Adam, "What is wrong with you"? Adam said he didn't
have anyone to talk to. God said he would make Adam a companion and
would call it woman.God said;
1. This person will cook for you,wash your clothes and agree with
every decision that you make.
2. She will bear your children and never ask you to get up in the
middle of the night to take care of them.
3. She will not nag you and will always be the first to admit she was
wrong when you've had a disagreement.
4. She will never have a headache and will freely give you love and
passion whenever you need it.
Adam asked God, "What will a woman like this cost ?"
God answered, " An arm and a leg."
Adam asked, "What can I get for just a rib?"
The rest is history.

Occasionally, airline attendants make an effort to make
the "in-flight safety lecture" and their other
announcements a bit more entertaining. Here are some
real examples that have been heard or reported:
1. From a Southwest Airlines employee: "There may be 50
ways to leave your lover, but there are only 4 ways out
of this airplane."
2. Pilot: "Folks, we have reached our cruising altitude
now, so I am going to switch the seat belt sign off.
Feel free to move about as you wish, but please stay
inside the plane till we land. It's a bit cold outside,
and if you walk on the wings it affects the flight
pattern."
3. After landing: "Thank you for flying Delta Business
Express. We hope you enjoyed giving us the business as
much as we enjoyed taking you for a ride."
4. As the plane landed and was coming to a stop at
Washington National, a lone voice came over the
loudspeaker: "Whoa, big fella. Whoa!"
5. After a particularly rough landing during
thunderstorms in Memphis, a flight attendant on a
Northwest flight announced: "Please take care when
opening the overhead compartments because, after a
landing like that, sure as hell everything has shifted."
6. From a Southwest Airlines employee: "Welcome aboard
Southwest Flight XXX to YYY. To operate your seatbelt,
insert the metal tab into the buckle, and pull tight. It
works just like every other seatbelt and if you don't
know how to operate one, you probably shouldn't be out
in public unsupervised. In the event of a sudden loss of
cabin pressure, oxygen masks will descend from the
ceiling. Stop screaming, grab the mask, and pull it over
your face. If you have a small child traveling with you,
secure your mask before assisting with theirs. If you
are traveling with two small children, decide now which
one you love more."
7. "Weather at our destination is 50 degrees with some
broken clouds, but they'll try to have them fixed before
we arrive. Thank you, and remember, nobody loves you or
your money more than Southwest Airlines."
8. "Your seat cushions can be used for flotation. In the
event of an emergency water landing, please take them
with our compliments."
9. "As you exit the plane, please make sure to gather
all of your belongings. Anything left behind will be
distributed evenly among the flight attendants. Please
do not leave children or spouses."
10. "Last one off the plane must clean it."
11. From the pilot during his welcome message: "We are
pleased to have some of the best flight attendants in
the industry. Unfortunately none of them are on this
flight."
12. This was overheard on an American Airlines flight
into Amarillo, Texas, on a particularly windy and bumpy
day. During the final approach, the captain was really
having to fight it. After an extremely hard landing, the
flight attendant came on the PA and announced, "Ladies
and gentlemen, welcome to Amarillo. Please remain in
your seats with your seatbelts fastened while the
captain taxis what's left of our airplane to the gate!"
13. Another flight attendant's comment on a less than
perfect landing: "We ask you to please remain seated as
Captain Kangaroo bounces us to the terminal."
14. An airline pilot wrote that on this particular
flight he had hammered his ship into the runway really
hard. The airline had a policy which required the first
officer to stand at the door while the passengers
exited, smile, and give them a, "Thanks for flying XYZ
airline." He said that in light of his bad landing, he
had a hard time looking the passengers in the eye,
thinking that someone would have a smart comment.
Finally, everyone had gotten off except for this little
old lady walking with a cane. She said, "Sonny, did we
land or were we shot down?"
15. After a real crusher of a landing in Phoenix, the
flight attendant got on the PA and said, "Ladies and
gentlemen, please remain in your seats until Captain
Crash and the crew have brought the aircraft to a
screeching halt up against the gate. And, once the tire
smoke has cleared and the warning bells are silenced,
we'll open the door and you can pick your way through
the wreckage to the terminal."
16. Part of a flight attendant's arrival
announcement: "We'd like to thank you folks for flying
with us today. And, the next time you get the insane
urge to go blasting through the skies in a pressurized
metal tube, we hope you'll think of us here at US
Airways."
