Would you believe..... (a little humor)

[vsmith]

An elderly woman had just returned to her home from an evening of
Church services when she was startled by an intruder. She caught the man in the act of robbing her home of its valuables and yelled,

"Stop! Acts 2:38!"

(Repent and be baptized, in the name of Jesus Christ so that your sins may be forgiven.)

The burglar stopped in his tracks.

The woman calmly called the police and explained what she had done.

As the officer cuffed the man to take him in, he asked the burglar,

"Why did you just stand there? All the old lady did was yell a scripture to you."

"Scripture?" replied the burglar. !

"She said she had an Ax and Two 38's!"

Finally Friday . . . . . . . [:)] [:p] [:)]


A French teacher was explaining to her class that in French, unlike
English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine:
"House" is feminine-"la maison."
"Pencil" is masculine-"le crayon."
A student asked, "What gender is 'computer'?"
Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two
groups - male and female - and asked them to decide for themselves whether
"computer" should be a masculine or a feminine noun. Each group was asked to
give four reasons for their recommendation. The men's group decided that "computer" should definitely be of the feminine gender ("la computer"), because:
1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic;
2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is
incomprehensible to everyone else;
3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long-term memory for possible
later review; and
4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half
your salary on accessories for it.

The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be
masculine ("le computer") because:
1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on;
2. They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves;
3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE
the problem; and
4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little
longer, you could have gotten a better model.

The women won.

A young man walked into a jeweler's shop late one Friday, with a beautiful young lady on his side. "I'm looking for a special ring for my girlfriend" he said.

The jeweler looks through his stock, and takes out an outstanding ring priced at $5,000.

"I don't think you understand ... I want something very unique," he said.

At that, the jeweler went and fetched his special stock from the safe.
"Here's one stunning ring at $40,000." The girls' eyes sparkled, and the
man said that he would take it.

"How are you paying?"

"I'll pay by check, but of course the bank would want to make sure that
everything is in order, so I'll write a check and you can phone the bank
tomorrow, then I'll pickup the ring on Monday".

Monday morning a very ticked off jeweler phones the man. "You lied to
me there's no money in that account."

"I know, but can you imagine what a fantastic weekend I had?"

Irish Confession

Bless me Father, for I have sinned. I have been with a loose woman."
The priest asks, "Is that you, little Tommy Shaughnessy?"
"Yes, Father, it is." "And, who was the woman you were with?"
"I can't be tellin' you, Father. I don't want to ruin her reputation."
"Well, Tommy, I'm sure to find out sooner or later, so you may as well tell me now. Was it Brenda O'Malley?"
"I cannot say."
"Was it Patricia Kelly?"
"I'll never tell."
"Was it Liz Shannon?"
"I'm sorry, but I can't name her."
"Was it Cathy Morgan?"
"My lips are sealed."
"Was it Fiona McDonald, then?"
"Please, Father, I cannot tell you."
The priest sighs in frustration. "You're a steadfast lad, Tommy Shaughnessy, and I admire that. But you've sinned, and you must atone. You cannot attend church mass for three months. Be off with you now."

Tommy walks back to his pew. His friend Sean slides over and whispers, "What'd you get?!" "Three month's vacation and five good leads."




(btw- I got this from my Irish wife)

[zardoz]

Since the Pledge of Allegiance and The Lord's Prayer are not allowed in most
public schools anymore because the word "God" is mentioned....
I pass along the attached NEW school prayer.


Now I sit me down in school
Where praying is against the rule
For this great nation under God
Finds mention of Him very odd.

If Scripture now the class recites,
It violates the Bill of Rights.
And anytime my head I bow
Becomes a Federal matter now.

Our hair can be purple, orange or green,
That's no offense; it's a freedom scene.
The law is specific, the law is precise.
Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.

For praying in a public hall
Might offend someone with no faith at all.
In silence alone we must meditate,
God's name is prohibited by the state.

We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks,
And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks.
They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible.
To quote the Good Book makes me liable.

We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,
And the 'unwed daddy,' our Senior King.
It's "inappropriate" to teach right from wrong,
We're taught that such "judgments" do not belong.

We can get our condoms and birth controls,
Study witchcraft, vampires, and totem poles.
But the Ten Commandments are not allowed,
No word of God must reach this crowd.

It's scary here I must confess,
When chaos reigns, the school's a mess.
So, Lord, this silent plea I make:
Should I be shot; My soul please take!

Amen

[locomutt]

Zardoz,

I TOTALLY AGREE with your poem! The United States of America is SUPPOSED to be a land of FREEDOM, to be able to worship God as we please, and NOT be OPPRESSED. That was WHY our country was founded; but now it seems that the government wants to tell us how we HAVE to run our own lives. Unforntunately, our
country is not quite the "Land of the free and the home of the brave" any more. Alas,
that is everyone's loss in this country.

This is a little long but WELL WORTH reading.

Interesting facts about the Tomb of the Unknown
Soldier and the Sentinels
of the Third United States Infantry Regiment "Old
Guard"

1. How many steps does the guard take during his walk
across the tomb of
the Unknowns and why?

21 steps. It alludes to the twenty-one gun salute,
which is the highest
honor given any military or foreign dignitary.

2. How long does he hesitate after his about face to
begin his return walk
and why?
21 seconds, for the same reason as answer number 1.

3. Why are his gloves wet?
His gloves are moistened to prevent his losing his
grip on the rifle.

4. Does he carry his rifle on the same shoulder all
the time, and if not,
why not?
No, he carries the rifle on the shoulder away from the
tomb. After his
march across the path, he executes an about face and
moves the rifle to the outside shoulder.

5. How often are the guards changed?

Guards are changed every thirty minutes, twenty-four
hours a day, 365 days
a year.

6. What are the physical traits of the guard limited
to?

For a person to apply for guard duty at the tomb, he
must be between 5' 10" and 6' 2" tall and his waist
size cannot exceed 30

Other requirements of the Guard:


They must commit 2 years of life to guard the tomb,
live in a barracks
under the tomb, and cannot drink any alcohol on or off
duty FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES. They cannot swear in
public FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES and cannot disgrace
the uniform {fighting} or the tomb in any way.

After TWO YEARS, the guard is given a wreath pin that
is worn on their
lapel signifying they served as guard of the tomb.
There are only 400 presently worn. The guard must obey
these rules for the rest of their lives or give up the
wreath pin.

The shoes are specially made with very thick soles to
keep the heat and
cold from their feet. There are metal heel plates that
extend to the top of the shoe in order to make the
loud click as they come to a halt. There are no
wrinkles, folds or lint on the uniform. Guards dress
for duty in front of a full-length mirror.

The first SIX MONTHS of duty a guard cannot talk to
anyone, nor watch TV.
All off duty time is spent studying the 175 notable
people laid to rest in Arlington
National Cemetery. A guard must memorize who they are
and where they are interred. Among the notables are:
President Taft, Joe E. Lewis {the boxer} and Medal of
Honor winner Audie Murphy, {the most decorated soldier
of WWII} of Hollywood fame. Every guard spends FIVE
HOURS A DAY getting his uniforms ready for guard duty.

The Sentinels Creed:

My dedication to this sacred duty is total and
wholehearted. In the responsibility bestowed on me
never will I falter. And with dignity and perseverance
my standard will remain perfection. Through the years
of diligence and praise and the discomfort of the
elements, I will walk my tour in humble reverence to
the best of my ability. It is he who commands the
respect I protect. His bravery that made us so proud.
Surrounded by well meaning crowds by day alone in the
thoughtful peace of night, this soldier will in
honored glory rest under my eternal vigilance.

More Interesting facts about the Tomb of the Unknowns
itself:

The marble for the Tomb of the Unknowns was furnished
by the Vermont
Marble Company of Danby, Vt. The marble is the finest
and whitest of American marble, quarried from the Yule
Marble Quarry located near Marble, Colorado and is
called Yule Marble. The Marble for the Lincoln
memorial and other famous buildings was also quarried
there.

The Tomb consists of seven pieces of rectangular
marble:
Four pieces in sub base; weight Â- 15 tons;
One piece in base or plinth; weight Â- 16 tons;
One piece in die; weight Â- 36 tons;
One piece in cap; weight Â- 12 tons;

Carved on the East side (the front of the Tomb, which
faces Washington,
D.C.) is a composite of three figures, commemorative
of the spirit of the Allies of
World War I.

In the center of the panel stands Victory (female

On the right side, a male figure symbolizes Valor.

On the left side stands Peace, with her palm branch to
reward the devotion
and sacrifice that went with courage to make the cause
of righteousness triumphant.

The north and south sides are divided into three
panels by Doric
pilasters. In each panel is an inverted wreath.

On the west, or rear, panel (facing the Amphitheater)
is inscribed:

HERE RESTS IN HONORED GLORY AN AMERICAN SOLDIER KNOWN
BUT TO GOD

The first Tomb of the Unknown Soldier was a sub base
and a base or plinth.
It was slightly smaller than the present base. This
was torn away when the
present Tomb was started Aug. 27, 1931. The Tomb was
completed and the area opened to the public 9:15a.m.
April 9, 1932, without any ceremony.

Cost of the Tomb: $48,000
Sculptor: Thomas Hudson Jones
Architect: Lorimer Rich
Contractors: Hagerman & Harris, New York City
Inscription: Author Unknown

(Interesting Commentary)

The Third Infantry Regiment at Fort Myer has the
responsibility for
providing ceremonial units and honor guards for state
occasions, White House social functions, public
celebrations and interments at Arlington National
Cemetery and standing a very formal sentry watch at
the Tomb of the Unknowns.

The public is familiar with the precision of what is
called "walking post"
at the Tomb. There are roped off galleries where
visitors can form to observe the
troopers and their measured step and almost
mechanically, silent rifle shoulder changes. They are
relieved every hour in a very formal drill that has to
be seen to be believed.

Some people think that when the Cemetery is closed to
the public in the
evening that this show stops.

First, to the men who are dedicated to this work, it
is
no show. It is a "charge of honor." The formality and
precision continues uninterrupted all night.

During the nighttime, the drill of relief and the
measured step of the
on-duty sentry remain unchanged from the daylight
hours. To these men, these special men, the continuity
of this post is the key to the honor and respect shown
to these honored dead, symbolic of all unaccounted for
American combat dead. The steady rhythmic step in
rain, sleet, snow, hail, heat and cold must be
uninterrupted. Uninterrupted is the important part of
the honor shown.

Recently, while you were sleeping, the teeth of
hurricane Isabel came
through this area and tore hell out of everything. We
had thousands of trees down, power outages, traffic
signals out, roads filled with downed limbs and "gear
adrift" debris. We had flooding and the place looked
like it had been the impact area of an off-shore
bombardment.

The Regimental Commander of the U.S. Third Infantry
sent word to the
nighttime Sentry Detail to secure the post and seek
shelter from the high winds, to ensure their personal
safety.

THEY DISOBEYED THE ORDER!

During winds that turned over vehicles and turned
debris into projectiles,
the measured step continued. One fellow said "I've got
buddies getting shot at in Iraq who would kick my butt
if word got to them that we let them down. I sure as
hell have no intention of spending my Army career
being known as the damned idiot who couldn't stand a
little light breeze and shirked his duty." Then he
said something in response to a female reporters
question regarding silly purposeless personal risk...
"I wouldn't expect you to understand. It's an enlisted
man's thing." God bless the rascal... In a time in our
nation's history when spin and total b.s. seem to have
become the accepted coin-of-the-realm, there beat
hearts - the enlisted hearts we all knew and were so
damn proud to be a part of - that fully understand
that devotion to duty is not a part-time occupation.
While we slept, we were represented by some damn fine
men who fully understood their post orders and proudly
went about their assigned responsibilities unseen,
unrecognized and in the finest tradition of the
American Enlisted Man. Folks, there's hope. The spirit
that George S. Patton, Arliegh Burke and Jimmy
Doolittle left us ... survives.

On the ABC evening news, it was reported recently
that, because of the
dangers from Hurricane Isabel approaching Washington,
DC, the military members assigned the duty of guarding
the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier were given permission
to suspend the assignment. They refused. "No way,
Sir!"

Soaked to the skin, marching in the pelting rain of a
tropical storm, they
said that guarding the Tomb was not just an
assignment; it was the highest honor
that can be afforded to a service person. The tomb has
been patrolled continuously, 24/7, since 1930.

Very, very proud of our soldiers in uniform!

GET US OUT NOW!


Every day there are news reports about more deaths.

Every night on TV there are photos of death and
destruction. Why are we still there?

We occupied this land, which we had to take by force,
but it causes us nothing but trouble. Some of our
children go there and never come back. Why are we
still there?

Their government is unstable, and they have an
unstable leadership. Many of their people are
uncivilized.

The place is subject to natural disasters, which we
are supposed to bail them out of. Why are we still
there?

There are more than 1000 religious sects, which we do
not understand. Their folk ways, foods and fads are
unfathomable to ordinary Americans. We can't even
secure their borders. Why are we still there?

They are billions of dollars in debt and it will cost
billions more to rebuild their infrastructure, which
we can't afford. Why are we still there?

F-14 Commentary

Below is an article written by Rick Reilly of Sports
Illustrated. He details his experiences when given the
opportunity to fly in a F-14 Tomcat.

"Now this message is 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, 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-feet, 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 nearly as much thrust
as weight, not unlike Colin Montgomerie. 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 ***.
(No call sign -- like Crash or Sticky or Leadfoot ...
but, still, very cool.) I carried my helmet in the
crook of my arm, as Biff had instructed. If ever in
my life I had a chance to nail Nicole Kidman, this was
it.

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, thereby approximating life as Mrs. Colin
Montgomerie.

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 black
book, but I'm glad Biff does every day, and for less a
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."

Every once in a while (thankfully very rarely), my favorite radio station plays The waterbed was filled with glue the night that I got stuck with you Polka.

IF YOU ARE NOT A SENIOR SEND TO SOMEONE WHO IS.


Here's the exercise program I am using to stay in
shape this year. You might want to take it easy at
first, then do it faster as you become more
proficient. It may be too strenuous for some.


ALWAYS CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE
STARTING ANY EXERCISE PROGRAM.

NOW SCROLL DOWN...






















NOW SCROLL UP...

That's enough for the first day
We don't want to overdo it!!

[cherokee woman]

Very good Jim:

That's ONE exercise I can handle!!

Expenisve Evening Out


When I got home from the golf course this afternoon, my wife said that I had been
neglecting her to much and demanded that I take her out to some place expensive.

So I took her to the gas station.

[cherokee woman]

Ironic, isn't it, when an expensive night out, isn't to a fancy restaurant , but rather, to
the gas station? Oh the times we live in.[sigh]

IRAQ -- VERY INTERESTING -- DID YOU KNOW?

1. The garden of Eden was in Iraq. (It sure doesn't look much like
Paradise on earth today thanks to Saddam)

2. Mesopotamia which is now Iraq was the cradle of civilization!

3. Noah built the ark in Iraq.

4. The Tower of Babel was in Iraq.

5. Abraham was from Ur, which is in Southern Iraq!

6. Isaac's wife Rebekah is from Nahor which is in Iraq.

7. Jacob met Rachel in Iraq.

8. Jonah preached in Nineveh - which is in Iraq.

9. Assyria which is in Iraq conquered the ten tribes of Israel.

10. Amos cried out in Iraq!

11. Babylon which is in Iraq destroyed Jerusalem.

12. Daniel was in the lion's den in Iraq!

13. The 3 Hebrew children were in the fire in Iraq (That's good news
to know that JESUS has been in Iraq too as the 4th person in the fiery furnace!)

14. Belshazzar, the King of Babylon saw the "writing on the wall" in Iraq.

15. Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, carried the Jews captive into Iraq.

16. Ezekiel preached in Iraq.

17. The wise men were from Iraq. (where are the "wise" men today?)

18. Peter preached in Iraq.

19. The "Empire of Man" described in Revelation is called Babylon which
was a city in Iraq!

And you have probably seen this one.
Israel is the nation most often mentioned in the Bible. But do you
know which nation is second? It is Iraq! However, that is not the name that
is used in the Bible. The names used in the Bible are Babylon, Land of
Shinar, and Mesopotamia. The word Mesopotamia means between the two rivers,
more exactly between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. The name Iraq, means
country with deep roots. Indeed Iraq is a country with deep roots and
is a very significant country in the Bible. Here's why.

* Eden was in Iraq--Genesis 2:10-14
* Adam &Eve were created in Iraq--Genesis 2:7-8
* Satan made his first recorded appearance in Iraq--Genesis 3:1-6
* Nimrod established Babylon &Tower of Babel was built in Iraq--
Genesis10:8-97; 11:1-4
* The confusion of the languages took place in Iraq--Genesis 11:5-11
* Abraham came from a city in Iraq--Genesis 11:31; Acts 7:2-4
* Isaac's bride came from Iraq--Genesis 24:3-4; 10
* Jacob spent 20 years in Iraq--Genesis 27:42-45; 31:38
* The first world Empire was in Iraq--Daniel 1:1-2;2:36-38
* The greatest revival in history was in a city in Iraq--Jonah 3
* The events of the book of Esther took place in Iraq--Esther
* The book of Nahum was a prophecy against a city in Iraq--Nahum
* The book or Revelation has prophecies against Babylon, which was the
old name for the nation of Iraq--Revelation 17 &18

No other nation, except Israel, has more history and prophecy associated
it than Iraq.

And also...

This is something to think about! Since America is typically represented
by an eagle. Saddam should have read up on his Muslim passages... The
following verse is from the Quran, (the Islamic Bible)

Quran (9:11) -- For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a
fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the
lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more
rejoiced; for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah; and
there was peace.
(Note the verse number...)

Perhaps those were the last wise men to come out of Iraq.

Others may have tried, but got caught between Iraq and a hard place.
