Yeah, me too.


Damn...I responded before reading your post.

BTW--I almost had to kick my own ass tonight when I saw that I only scored a
25 out of 40 on the political test. How'd I get so damn liberal?

The test is defiantly rigged, I can't believe I'm left of Regan.

BTW, you'll get a chuckle out of this-

I have it very good authority that this is not a Photoshop.

I think we should all keep our eyes open and report suspicious activity.
Especially around ramps that a

1. Near a base.
2. Near a powerplant.
3. On a MEW
4. On a border.

The cop sitting by the closed sign told me that it was closed because of
the orange terror alert.

Anyone know anything about this? Is this what we can expect from now on?

Attention terrorists, plan ahead, don't wait to launch your boat on the
day you attack. Put it in the day before.

Geezus, stupid government thinking.

Don't worry, we'll continue to protect you.


Yeah...like you did in 1812? And note that the border is 49deg, not "54-40
or fight!"

What? Even your 'Brown Pelicans' are trying to get away from your
repressive regime. One landed here and a local vet is taking care of it
until we ship it back to Miami. Darn shame......bird has more sense than a
lot of 'good 'ole boys'.

I'm glad the CG is there to keep the likes of Don and Lloyd out of our
country.

From who? Last people to bomb & kill Canadian soldiers were American
National Guard pilots from Michigan.

Exactly... "from who"? You should count your blessings every day we
are here to protect those who cannot or will not protect themselves.

Uhhh, that would include you.


A man went to the public swimming pool.
Before he could go swimming, he was fingerprinted and required to fill out a
registration card. When he asked why, he was told "So we know who you are and
where to send the body if you get eaten by any of the sharks in the pool"

The swimmer was perturbed, but proceeded to the locker room to change into his
trunks.

In the locker room, he was charged $175 to rent a locker. When he protested the
amount of the fee, he was told that the money was needed to hire the guards
required to keep sharks out of the pool.

$175 lighter, the swimmer proceeded to the pool only to discover that it was
only half-filled with water. It was difficult to get into the pool due to the
phalanx of armed guards surrounding it. He was told the shallow fill was to
make it easier to spot sharks, and that all the guards were necessary to shoot
at any sharks that might appear.

The swimmer was finally annoyed. "This is the damn City Park Swimming Pool!
There are *no* sharks in here!"

"Yes sir, merely additional proof that all of our anti-shark measures are
working. Oh, it's going to cost you another $175 to get your stuff *out* of the
locker. We're sure you'll understand."

On the way back to the locker room, the hapless swimmer was bitten by a
rattlesnake hiding in the corner. Everybody was looking for sharks- nobody
thought to look for snakes.

*ONE* stinkin' pelican!? Are you sure it wasn't a loony bird? Do you know
how many Canadian geese permanently leave Canada and head to the US every
year?

BTW--keep your damn geese up there...'cause their **** is polluting the
water in our parks.

It must be great to feel superior to "good ole boys".

Who do you look down your nose at in Canada?


Newfies.

What prompted all the security against the sharks? Had there been a massive
shark attack in that pool before? Had other sharks threatened to enter the
same pool? Did we catch sharks that had entered the pool, but detained them
before they did some damage? Were the sharks sent to the pool by other
countries?
