Post Turtle................
While suturing a laceration on the hand of a 70-year-old Texas rancher
whose hand had caught in a gate while working cattle, a
doctor and the old man were talking about John Kerry wanting to be in
the White House. The old Texan said, "Well, ya know, Kerry
is a 'post turtle'." Not knowing what the old man meant, the doctor
asked him what a post turtle was. The old man said, "When
you're driving down a Country road and you come across a fence post
with a turtle balanced on top, that's a post turtle." The old
man saw a puzzled look on the doctor's face, so he Continued to
explain, "You know he didn't get there by himself, he doesn't
belong there, he can't get anything done while he's up there, and you
Just want to help the poor stupid bastard get down.
LOL!
Ouch!
Hehehe....yep. So he did.
LOL .. I never thought of doing that
Could be lots of fun
Oh it IS lots of fun.
(Especially when I do it...)
People tend to scratch their heads and look for Alan Funt.
OMG! "Wrong" just doesn't quite cover it!
Dear Ma and Pa:
I am well. Hope you are. Tell Brother Walt and Brother Elmer the Marine Corps beats working for old man Minch by a mile. Tell them to join up quick before maybe all of the places are filled.
I was restless at first because you got to stay in bed till nearly 6a.m., but am getting so I like to sleep late.
Tell Walt and Elmer all you do before breakfast is smooth your cot and shine some things. No hogs to slop, feed to pitch, mash to mix, wood to split, fire to lay. Practically nothing. Men got to shave but it is not so bad, there's warm water.
Breakfast is strong on trimmings like fruit juice, cereal, eggs, bacon, etc., but kind of weak on chops, potatoes, ham, steak, fried eggplant, pie and other regular food, but tell Walt and Elmer you can always sit by the two city boys that live on coffee. Their food plus yours holds you till noon when you get fed again. It's no wonder these city boys can't walk much.
We go on "route marches", which the platoon sergeant says are long walks to harden us. If he thinks so, it's not my place to tell him different. A "route march" is about as far as to our mailbox at home. Then the city guys get sore feet and we all ride back in trucks.
The country is nice but awful flat. The sergeant is like a school teacher. He nags a lot. The Capt. is like the school board. Majors and colonels just ride around and frown. They don't bother you none.
This next will kill Walt and Elmer with laughing. I keep getting medals for shooting. I don't know why. The bulls-eye is near as big as a chipmunk head and don't move, and it ain't shooting at you like the Higgett boys at home. All you got to do is lie there all comfortable and hit it. You don't even load your own cartridges. They come in boxes.
Then we have what they call hand-to hand combat training. You get to wrestle with them city boys. I have to be real careful though, they break real easy. It ain't like fighting with that ole bull at home. I'm about the best they got in this except for that Tug Jordan from over in Silver Lake. I only beat him once. He joined up the same time as me, but I'm only 5'6" and 130 pounds, and he's 6'8" and weighs near 300 pounds dry.
Be sure to tell Walt and Elmer to hurry and join before other fellers get onto this setup and come stampeding in.
Your loving daughter,
Gail.
Goodnight
....Westy.....
And that is why I'll never survive living in this country
And yes .. I'll take coffee over food any time *L*
Thanks for the advice .. I'll have to give it a try :0)
I'll bet he is a democRAT.
Good night Westy
FBI BULLETIN: LOOKOUT FOR SUICIDE BOMBERS INSIDE THE U.S.
Thu May 20 2004 19:09:51 ET
Warns Officials To Look for People Wearing Bulky Jackets on Warm Days; Smell of Chemicals; Trailing Wires from Jackets Bombers May Disguise Selves As Pregnant Women
New York - The FBI has disseminated to 18,000 law enforcement agencies an intelligence bulletin advising police officials to be on the lookout for suicide bombers attempting to strike inside the US, TIME's Elaine Shannon reports today on TIME.com.
The lightly classsified bulletin, headlined "Possible suicide bomber indicators," and circulated earlier today (May 20) via the FBO's secure Law Enforcement Online (LEO) Intranet, warns local badge-carriers to look for obvious signs of trouble - people wearing heavy, bulky jackets on warm days, smelling of chemicals, trailing wires from their jackets - and, as well, more subtle ones, such as tightly clenched fists.
Someone who never shows his palms could be gripping a detonator rigged to go off when a button is released. "If you shoot him, you're still not safe because his hands relax and the bomb explodes," says a counter-terrorism official, TIME reports.
The FBI bulletin also notes that suicide bombers may disguise themselves in stolen military, police or firefighter's garb or as pregnant women, TIME reports.
Well, I guess all the schizophrenic homeless folks will now be rounded up as terrorists.
Don't leave home with your wires dangling, people.
You saw my wires? Darn.. I knew I should have used fishline.
I thought the wires would show less than the ropes dontchano..
