Going back to the thread's raison d'etre, here's something of no value.



    The war on terrorism will continue endlessly until the causes of terrorism in the first place are discovered and addressed by those in charge.


    I THINK writing the above has no value.

Harry fights Moldy Voldy and is half-mindkilled. Being thus qualified he joins the US Marines, rises to the rank of Gunnery Sergeant, and retires after 40 years active service.

Back in line, Private Peace! Your thread's survived and is back from the grave!

I was a passenger in a car that was pulled over in Washington DC once by an OFFICER whose last name was Peace. Officer Peace, the Peace Officer. Said so right on his badge. I wasn't going to push it and ask him if his first name was Warren, lest he'd issue a Warren for my arrest.

He'd seen the damnfool driver passing around a newly-opened wine bottle and drinking from it at a stop light. He took the three of us to a Police Station and then let us go to walk back to the car to "sober up". We finally got to the club just in time to see Tom Rush. I never found out who the opening act was.......

We'd not gotten to drink much, so he was still at the point of being an Officer, rather than an Ossifer, and he WAS a gentleman, as befits a Man Of Peace, even one who carries a piece.

A TOUGH U.S. Marine sergeant got word that the father of one of his men had passed away. At roll call he snapped: "Hey, Smith, your father died!" The Marine fainted on the spot. A week later the sister of another Marine died, and the sergeant once again called his men together. "Jones," he yelled out, "your sister died last night!" The Marine burst into tears.
   Finally, word got back to the general about the sergeant's insensitivity, and he was called on the carpet and told to be less direct and gruff when one of his men suffered a tragedy. A week later the sergeant was notified that Private Miller had just lost his mother. Remembering what the general had said, he lined up his troop and ordered: "Everyone whose mother is alive, please take one step forward - NOT SO FAST, MILLER!"

On some air bases the Air Force is on one side of the field and civilian aircraft use the other side of the field, with the control tower in the middle. One day the tower received a call from an aircraft asking, "What time is it?"
The tower responded, "Who is calling?"
The aircraft replied, "What difference does it make?"
The tower replied "It makes a lot of difference. If it is an American Airlines Flight, it is 3 o'clock. If it is an Air Force, it is 1500 hours. If it is a Navy aircraft, it is 6 bells. If it is an Army aircraft, the big hand is on the 12 and the little hand is on the 3. If it is a Marine Corps aircraft, it's Thursday afternoon."

Say, Rap... ever see the movie "Never Cry Wolf"? It is among my all time favourites. There are some scenes that require a bit of inside knowledge, but, pound for pound, a classic.

Inside knowledge.... like, where Rosie shuts of the fuel line in the plane to scare the young fellah... hilarious!

Renting the video is a "good idea".

Yeah, me 'n' ol' Buffy and his daddy, Wild, we'd play acey-deucey on the steamboats. Long about the time we'd get clear of Westport we'da cleaned all the greenhorns of their cash and then we'd play some serious cards. Never will forgit the time that a tinhorn gambler pulled a Walker Colt on Buffy. Scared the poor boy half ta death, that Colt did. Dang near trampled him, too. Never did figger out how that cheap gambler managed to sneak one of Tom Walker's Colts onto the boat. Buffy and the Colt both busted outa different sides of the cabin they wuz so scared.

Yeah, me 'n' ol' Buffalo Bill (we called him "Buffy") were good friends out here in the mountains. 'Course, I knew him when he was growin' up back in Illinois, in Monmouth, him and the Earp brothers. They was always gettin' into trouble. After Buffy got out on the plains he nailed several vampires, which is how he got the name Buffy the Vampire Nailer. Yah see, his last name was Bill and his first name was Buffalo 'cuz he wuz named after the city in New York. His daddy was named Wild, Wild Bill.

An' I wouldn't lie none about any of that. Specially about the Earp boys. They wuz pure trouble: Burp, Urp, Purp, and Wyatt. He was the youngest. Never could shoot worth anything, so 'most every day he'd lose fiver er ten dollars to Buffy. Buffy couldn't shoot either, but he could do it better'n Wyatt. We'd put 'em inside a barn and bet who which one could hit it inside of a hunert shots.
