WOMEN'S REVENGE

"Cash, check or charge?" I asked, after folding items the woman wished to
purchase. As she fumbled for her wallet I noticed a remote control for a
television set in her purse. "So, do you always carry your TV remote?" I
asked. "No," she replied, "but my husband refused to come shopping with
me, so I figured this was the most legal evil thing I could do to him."

A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a
word. An earlier discussion had led to an argument and neither of them
wanted to concede their position. As they passed a barnyard of mules,
goats, and pigs, the husband asked sarcastically, "Relatives of yours?"
"Yep," the wife replied, "in-laws."

---

A husband read an article to his wife about how many words women use a
day... 30,000 to a man's 15,000. The wife replied, "The reason has to be
because we have to repeat everything to men.... The husband then turned
to his wife and asked, "What?"

---

A man said to his wife one day, "I don't know how you can be so stupid
And so beautiful all at the same time." The wife responded, "Allow me to
explain. God made me beautiful so you would be attracted to me; God made
me stupid so I would be attracted to you!

When a Tank Goes Down, Repair Crews Ready

By U.S. Army Spc. Andy Miller / 122nd Mobile Public Affairs Detachment

CAMP CUERVO, BAGHDAD, Iraq, July 27, 2004 — Widely regarded as the world’s premier battle tank, the 2nd Battalion, 8th Cavalry Regiment’s M1A2 Systems Enhancement Package (SEP) Abrams tanks are a vital part of the 1st Cavalry Division’s mission in eastern Baghdad.

Their tanks fought on the front lines during the Muqtada Militia uprising last April, and today they are used to conduct improvised explosive device sweeps on some of the most dangerous routes in Iraq.

When an Abrams tank goes down for repairs or maintenance, the tank crew works together with tank maintenance to get it back on mission as soon as possible.

“Our main focus is to make sure all our tanks are up,” 1st Sgt. Luis Freyre, of Company A, 2-8 Cav., said. “[When one goes down, the] priority is to get the tank up as quick as possible.”

Frequent missions and the extreme temperatures of Baghdad take their toll on the Abrams, said Staff Sgt. Kendall Titus, the maintenance supervisor for the ‘Aces’ combat repair team. The soldiers on Titus’s team are specially trained to work on Abrams tanks. Part of the team works all night long to make sure a tank that needs repairs is ready for the next day’s mission.
