A friend of mine has been sending me 10-12 jokes a week. some of the more memorable ones...

A picture of UAL and AA planes dropping bombs.

The new world trade centre, five towers with the middle tower much taller than the rest.

If the Taliban doesn't surrender, we're going to send their women to college.

Oddly enough humour, is usually my first defence against tragedy. Not this time. I haven't found anything to laugh about and no one I knew was killed. Perhaps because here in the US South, next to one of the homes of 75th Ranger battalion this is serious business. Perhaps because I realize that Western society has had its head in the sand and we have work do do before it is time to laugh?
