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".

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."

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!"

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.

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.

And afraid that she would die
When she sent for two friars of France
To come to her speedily.
