"Pick your favourite . . . "

Australian Inflight Safety Announcement overheard on a recent flight Down Under:

“In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, masks will descend from the ceiling. Stop screaming, grab the mask, and pull it over your face. If you have a small child traveling with you, secure your mask before assisting with theirs. If you are traveling with more than one small child, pick your favourite.”

Americans for Liberty

"Barack Obama -- the former attorney for the corrupt Association of Community Organization and Reform Now (ACORN) -- has now nominated for Census Bureau czar a man who (perhaps not surprisingly) refuses to rule out paying ACORN lieutenants tens of millions of tax dollars to, of all things, count the number of Americans who should receive federally funded hand-outs and be allowed to vote."

Honor a Fallen Soldier...amazing video

Killed in action the week before, the body of Sergeant First Class John C. Beale was returned to Falcon Field in Peachtree City , Georgia , just south of Atlanta , on June 11, 2009 . The Henry County Police Department escorted the procession to the funeral home in McDonough , Georgia . A simple notice in local papers indicated the road route to be taken and the approximate time. Nowadays one can be led to believe that America no longer respects honor and no longer honors sacrifice outside the military. Be it known that there are many places in this land where people still recognize the courage and impact of total self-sacrifice. The link below is a short travelogue of that day’s remarkable and painful journey. But only watch this if you wish to have some of your faith in people restored.

Dambusters Update,

This just in from your offical Dambusters Editor: Tumbleweeds... not much happening actually. At last check Peter Jackson was taking a much laid back approach to having lots of time to edit the script.

The bit that’s making many people make that Marge Simpson noise in the back of their throats is the "what are we going to call the dog" issue. For those of us with testicles there is no question, but the milk sops who seem to think they should run the world because better men made it safe for the, to come out from under the bed are afraid of offending everyone who isn't us.

Apparently they plan to go with "Nigsey".

Sigh.

The Irish millionaire - Brilliant

Mick, from Dublin , appeared on 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire' and towards the end of the program had already won 500,000 pounds.

You've done very well so far,' said, Chris Tarrant, the show's presenter, 'but for a million pounds you've only got one lifeline left phone a friend.

Everything is riding on this question......will you go for it?'

'Sure,' said Mick. 'I'll have a go!'

'Which of the following birds does NOT build its own nest?'

A : Sparrow

B: Thrush

C: Magpie

D: Cuckoo

I haven't got a clue,' said Mick, 'so I'll use me last lifeline and phone me friend Paddy back home in Dublin '. Mick called up his mate and told him the circumstances and repeated the question to him.

'Fookin hell, Mick!' cried Paddy. 'Dat's simple.....it's a cuckoo.'

'Are you sure?'

'I'm fookin sure.'

Mick hung up the phone and told Chris , 'I'll go wit Cuckoo as me answer.'

'Is that your final answer?' asked Chris

'Dat it is, Sir.'

There was a long - long pause, and then the presenter screamed, 'Cuckoo is the correct answer! Mick, you've won 1 million pounds!'

The next night, Mick invited Paddy to their local pub to buy him a drink.

'Tell me, Paddy? How in Heaven's name did you know it was da Cuckoo that doesn't build its own nest?

'Because he lives in a Fookin clock!'

Maxine on Aging........

Getting older is like visiting an all-you-can-eat buffet. What should be hot is cold, what should be firm is limp, and the buns are bigger than anything else on the menu.

Ever notice how people who tell you to calm down....
are the ones who got you mad in the first place..

Men are always whining about how we're suffocating them.
Personally, I think if you can hear them whining you're not pressing hard enough on the pillow!

When the neighbors play music too loud, I dance naked. Shuts 'em down pretty quick.

I think I have reached my sexpiration date!

Ever get the feeling your stuff strutted off without you??

Christmas is just plain weird. What other time of year do you sit in front of a dead tree
in the living room and eat candy out of your socks.

I've still got "it", but NOBODY wants to see it!

Don't let aging get you down. It's too hard to get back up!

It's scary when you start making the same noises as your coffeemaker!

As far as I'm concerned, the perfect bra is a sweatshirt.

If you're not supposed to stick Q-tips in your ears, what the hell are they for?

I think I must be wearing a "wonder where they went" bra.

Actually, you can have a healthy sex life well into your later years.
Assuming you can stand the sight of of people your age naked.

Tried on a thong yesterday. I'm still trying to dig it out.

My sex life isn't dead, but the buzzards are circling.

Don't think of it as hot flashes, think of it as your inner child playing with matches!

Camping trip.........

Dan was attending his 4X4 club’s monthly meeting and had just told them he couldn’t make the upcoming camping trip because his wife wouldn’t let him go. After listening to the jeers and other derisive remarks from his fellow 4X4 friends Dan left to go back home to his wife.

When Dan’s friends started arriving to set up camp the following day who should be there but Dan sitting up in front of his truck, tent up, fishing rod in hand, camp oven roast stewing away in a hot bed of coals.

”How did ya talk your wife into letting you go Dan?” “I didn’t have to” was Dan’s reply. “When I left the meeting I went home and slumped down in my chair with a beer to drown my sorrows. Then my wife snuck up behind me and covered my eyes and said, surprise!!

When I peeled her hands back she was standing there in a beautiful see through negligee and she said, “Carry me into the bedroom, tie me to the bed and you can do whatever you want.”

So here I am!

Slicker than........from Rico

A really smart guy and trusted friend once used the expression "slicker than snot on a leather mitten" and I have shamelessly stolen it for my own use. It describes the current situation perfectly.

IMHO our feckless.....er, fearless pResident Obama-Soetero-Soro's sock-puppet doesn't need any of this Liagra stuff, he's naturally overflowing with it. His system has no testosterone, so it was easy to fill in the empty spaces with naturally-occurring bullshit.

This may explain why so many defective personalities self-select to be political parasites...they have too much of this stuff in their systems as well.

I find it hard to imagine ANY of the greatest comedy writers/comedians being able to create the unsavory, bumbling, dishonest, clownish, and phoney-artificial characters as those who populate the political scene today.

For those who aspire to a free piggy-back ride through life on the shoulders of hard working taxpayers, but who may lack the requisite levels of dishonesty and reality avoidance, this stuff may be just the ticket, however!
