Hot Enough For You?
After dying a grisly death in an Afghan cave, Osama made his way to the pearly gates.
There, he was greeted by George Washington.
“How dare you attack the nation I helped conceive!” yelled Washington, slapping Osama in the face.
Patrick Henry came up from behind. “You wanted to end America’s liberty, so they gave you death!” Henry punched Osama in the nose.
James Madison came next, and said, “This is why I allowed the government provide for the common defense!” He took a sledge hammer and whacked Osama’s knees.
Osama was subjected to similar beatings from John Randolph, James Monroe, and 65 other people who had the same love for liberty and America. As he writhed on the ground, Thomas Jefferson hurled him back toward the gate where he was to be judged.
As Osama awaited his journey to his final very hot destination, he screamed, “This is not what I was promised!”
An angel replied, “I told you there would be 72 Virginians waiting for you. What did you think I said?”
--John Adams, Letter to Abigail Adams July 3, 1776 (the day following Congress’ vote in favor of independence)
Remember it takes a college degree to fly a plane, but only a high school diploma to fix one. Reassurance for those of us who fly routinely in our jobs.
After every flight, UPS pilots fill out a form, called a “gripe sheet,” which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The mechanics correct the problems, document their repairs on the form, and then pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight. Never let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of humor. Here are some actual
Maintenance complaints submitted by UPS pilots (marked with a P) and the solutions recorded (marked with an S) by maintenance engineers.
By the way, UPS is the only major airline that has never, ever, had an accident.

Love the cartoons today!
My ancestors fought in the Revolution. Afterward, some remained loyal to Britain and moved to Canada; most did not, and their decendants (including me of course) remain mainly in Virginia but also elsewhere.
The wonderful thing about this country is, that those of us who can claim ancestors who actually had a hand in creating this Republic, have *everything that matters* in common with someone who is just beginning their citizenship process— LEGALLY! And we all share our love for the United States of America with our fellow patriots.
God bless us, every one... and God bless the United States of America!!
Help me with my math ... I only counted 69.
Where's Waldo?
