Recent headlines, thanks to BBC:

A young girl who was blown out to sea on a set of inflatable teeth was yesterday rescued by a man on an inflatable lobster. A coastguard spokesman commented, "this sort of thing is all too common". (The Times)


Mrs Irene Graham of Thorpe Avenue, Boscombe, delighted the audience with her reminiscence of the German prisoner of war who was sent each week to do her garden. He was repatriated at the end of 1945, she recalled. "He'd always seemed a nice friendly chap, but when the crocuses came up in the middle of our lawn in February 1946, they spelt out "Heil Hitler". (Bournemouth Evening Echo)


Commenting on a complaint from a Mr Arthur Purdey about a large gas bill, a spokesman for North West gas said "We agree it was rather high for the time of year. It's possible Mr Purdey has been charged for the gas used up during the explosion that blew his house to pieces." (Bangkok Post)


Irish police are being handicapped in a search for a stolen van, because they cannot issue a description. It's a Special Branch vehicle, and they don't want the public to know what it looks like. (The Guardian)

The story of the Frenchman, Englishman and Claudia Schiffer travelling by train through Provence.

The train enters a tunnel and the lights go out. Then comes a kissing noise followed by the sound of a really loud slap. When the train exits the tunnel, Claudia and the Englishman are sitting as if nothing had happened and the Frenchman is holding his cheek.

The Frenchman thinks 'That Englishman must have tried to kiss Claudia and she missed him and slapped me instead.'

Claudia is thinking: 'The Frenchman must have tried to kiss me and actually kissed the Englishman and got slapped for it.'

And the Englishman is thinking: 'Great! The next time the train goes through a tunnel I'll make another kissing noise and slap that Frenchman again.'

Saddam Hussein and George W. Bush meet up in Baghdad for the first
round of talks in a new peace process.


When George sits down, he notices three buttons on the side of
Saddam's chair. They begin talking. After about five minutes Saddam presses
the
first button. A boxing glove springs out of a box on the desk and punches
Bush in the face.

Annoyed, Bush carries on talking as Saddam laughs. A few minutes later the
second button is pressed. This time a big boot comes out and kicks Bush in
the shin. Again Saddam laughs, and again George carries on talking, not
wanting to put off the bigger issue of peace between the two countries. But
when the third button is pressed and another boot comes out and kicks Bush
square in the privates, he's finally had enough.

I'm headin' back to Washington!" he calmly tells the Iraqi. "We'll finish
these talks in two weeks in Washington!"

A fortnight passes and Saddam flies to the United States for talks. As > the
two men sit down, Hussein notices three buttons on Bush's chair and prepares
himself for the Yank's retaliation. They begin talking and George presses
the first button. Saddam ducks, but nothing happens. George snickers. > A
few seconds later he presses the second button. Saddam jumps up, but again
nothing happens. Bush roars with laughter. When the third button is pressed,
Saddam jumps up again, but again nothing happens. Bush falls on the floor in
a fit of hysterics.

"Forget this," says Saddam. "I'm going back to Baghdad!"

George W. says through tears of laughter, "What Baghdad?"

Not Really a Joke, But Some Interesting Insights from Dennis Miller


All the rhetoric on whether or not we should go to war against Iraq has got my insane little brain spinning like a roulette wheel. I enjoy reading
opinions from both sides, but I have detected a hint of confusion from some of you. As I was reading the paper recently, I was reminded of the best advice someone ever gave me.

He told me about the KISS method (Keep It Simple Stupid!). So, with this as a theme, I'd like to apply this theory for those who don't quite get it. My hope is that we can simplify things a bit and recognize a few important facts. Here are some things to consider when voicing an opinion on this important issue.


1. Out of President Bush and Saddam Hussein... Hussein is the "Bad Guy."

2. If you have faith in the United Nations to do the right thing, keep this
in mind: They have Libya heading the Committee on Human Rights and Iraq heading the Global Disarmament Committee. Do your own math here.

3. If you use Google Search and type in "French Military Victories," your
reply will be "Did you mean French Military Defeats?"

4. If your only anti-war slogan is "No War For Oil," sue your school
district for allowing you to slip through the cracks and robbing you of the
education you deserve.

5. Saddam and Bin Laden will not seek United Nations approval before they try to kill us.

6. Despite common belief, Martin Sheen IS NOT the President. He plays one on T.V.

7. Even if you are anti-war, you are still an "Infidel" and Bin Laden wants
you dead, too.

8. If you believe in a "Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy" but not in the danger
that Hussein poses, quit hanging out with the Dell Computer dude.

9. Whether you are for military action or against it, our young men and
women overseas are fighting for us to defend our right to speak out. We all need to support them without reservation.

I hope this helps.

Scatological Terror Set to Increase Excrementally

Quote:
High-ranking U.S. government officials have held near round-the-clock meetings in recent days to comb intelligence reports that suggest the possibility of scatological terror activity in the United States. U.S. officials, saying California is the location of highest concern, expressed fears over the use of a range of devices that included mischievous ham-and-egg gassers, perhaps a "dirty bomb."

U.S. officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said investigators became interested in Flight 68 after intercepted "chatter" among suspected flatulists led U.S. intelligence to believe an arse-onist's attack might be imminent. The chatter included a specific dietary references to sauerkraut, cheese, deviled eggs and beer, according to one federal law-enforcement source.

With that information, U.S. authorities contacted French intelligence concerning the possibility that suspected flatulists might be destined for America. They prevailed upon Air France to cancel Flight 68, as well as others bound for Los Angeles International Airport (LAX(ative)), because the original intelligence information warned of more than one flight being sullied.

Phillippe Polovshin, a tourist planning to visit the U.S. from France, was scheduled to fly from Paris to Los Angeles when the scatological terror alert was issued. "This is not new to me and my family," he said. "We are from Russia - from old Soviet Union. Flights getting cancelled at last minute happened all the time." In 1983, Polovshin's family defecated to France.

In his pre-Christmas Press Conference, Homeland Security Department Secretary Tom Ridge confirmed that, "the U.S. intelligence community has received a substantial increase in the volume of feculent-related reports. It's a gas-gas-gas," says Ridge.

A fleeing Taliban, desperate for water, was plodding through the
Afghanistan desert when he saw something far off in the distance. Hoping to
find water, he walked towards the image, only to find a little old Jewish
man sitting at a card table with a bunch of neckties laid out on it.
The Arab asked, "I'm dying of thirst, can I have some water?"
The Jew replied, "I don't have any water, but why don't you buy a tie?
They are only $150.00. Here's one that goes very nicely with your robes."
The Arab shouted, "I don't want an overpriced tie, you idiot, I need
water!"
The Jew replied, "OK then, don't buy my ties. But to show you what a nice
guy I am, I'll tell you that over that hill there, about four miles, is a
nice restaurant. Walk that way; they have all the water you need."
The Arab begrudgingly thanked him, then staggered away towards the hill
and eventually disappeared.
Four hours later the Arab came crawling back to where the Jewish man was
sitting behind his card table.
The Jew said, "...I told you, about four miles over that hill. Couldn't
you find it?"
The Arab rasped, "I found it all right. Your brother wouldn't let me in
without a tie!

The George Bushes, father and son, are on board a small two seater plane
when suddenly George Senior, the pilot, parachutes out of the plane. Not
knowing how to fly a plane, National Guard Service or not, George, Jr.,
grabs the radio.
"Mayday, mayday! My Dad just jumped out of the plane!"

Ground control receives the call for help and answers back: "Your dad?"

"He left me here! Took the parachute!"

"Sir, your dad?"

"He's the pilot! Gosh!"

"Okay, don't worry, sir. I'll talk you down, just do as I say. First I need
you to give me your height and position."

"I'm over six feet and sitting in the front!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Subject: 4 parachutes

An airplane was about to crash; there were 5 famous passengers on board but
only four parachutes left.

The first passenger said, "I'm Kobe Bryant, the best NBA basketballplayer.
The Lakers need me. I can't afford to die ... "So he took the first pack
and left the plane.

The second passenger, Hillary Clinton, said, "I am the wife of the former
president of the United States. I am also the most ambitious woman in the
world and I am a New York Senator and a potential future president." She
just took the second parachute and jumped out of the plane.

The third passenger, George W. Bush, said: "Out of my way. I'm President of
the United States of America, the greatest and cleverest President in
American history. I'm even greater than my Daddy. I have to lead the world's
greatest superpower nation in and out of war. America can't afford for me to
die." So he quickly grabbed the pack next to him and jumped out of the plane.

The fourth passenger, the Pope, turned to the fifth passenger, a
Lubavitcher Rebbe, and said, "I am old and frail so I don't have many years
left. As a good Catholic, I will sacrifice my life and let you have the
last parachute." The Rebbe turned to him and said, "Thank you,but it's
really OK. There are enough parachutes for both of us. America's greatest
and cleverest President has just taken my Tallis bag.

Regarding the Dennis Milleer joke concerning
That when you ask Google about "French Victories"
you get "Did you mean "French Defeats?"

The jole is a hoax. Check Newsday, March 13, 2003.
A Toronto 22-year student created the page.

The French did win some wars. In fact, Google lists
about 63,100 pages of French Military Victories.

Lerner managed to create a mock-page of Google suggesing when searching for French military victories.
The large Google logo tends ot distract Web surfers
from the address in the browser.
