Through no fault of my own we suddenly became an
adult club in the love and romance directory so
you will have to confirm that you are an adult

this back as it sends me around in a circle when I try!

A father and son went fishing one day. After a couple hours out in
the boat, the boy suddenly became curious about the world around him.
He asked his father, "How does this boat float?"
The father thought for a moment, then replied, "I Don't rightly know,
son."
The boy returned to his contemplation, then turned back to his
father, "How do fish breath underwater?"
Once again the father replied, "Don't rightly know, son."
A little later the boy asked his father, "Why is the sky blue?"
Again, the father replied. "Don't rightly know, son."
Worried he was going to annoy his father, he says, "Dad, do you mind
my asking you all of these questions?"
"Of course not son. If you don't ask questions,... you'll never
learn anything!"

My brother has asked that I forward this to everyone. A retired Marine
(after 27 years of service), he still makes us very proud of him and I
am eager to share this email with everyone I know. :-)
Merry Christmas to all my dear friends!
May God be with you and your family.

Jill,
I found this order. Can you please forward it to all NON-Military so
they can be assured the Marines are ready for Santa???

1. An official staff visit by Lt Gen Claus is expected at this base
on 25 Dec. The following directives govern activities of all personnel
during the visit:
a. Not a creature will stir without permission. This includes Officers,
Warrant Officers, Staff Non-commissioned Officers, Noncommissioned
Officers, and mice. Marines may obtain special stirring permits for
necessary tasks through the Battalion S-1 Office (See Company Office
for PAR).
b. All personnel will settle their brains for a long winter nap no
later than 2200 hours, 24 Dec. Uniform for the nap will be: pajamas -
cotton - light-weight - general purpose - olive-green; and cap -
battle-dress - utility, DCU or ACU pattern. Equipment will be drawn
from supply prior to 1900 hours. While at supply, all personnel will
review their personal hand receipts and sign a Cash Collection Voucher,
DD Form 1131, for all missing items. Remember that this is the "season
of giving."
c. Personnel will utilize standard "T'-ration sugarplums for visions to
dance in their heads. Sugarplums are available in "T'-ration sundry
packs and should be eaten with egg loaf, chopped ham, and spice cake to
ensure maximum visions are experienced. "T'-ration sundry packs can be
picked up at the Medina Dining Facility (MDFAC) from 0800-1800 24 Dec.
The S-4 will coordinate the acquisition and distribution of the
T-ration sugarplums and accompanying items.
d. Stockings -- wool, cushion sole, olive-green -- will be hung by the
chimneys with care. Necessary safety precautions will be taken to avoid
fires caused by carelessly hung stockings. Platoon commanders will
submit stocking handling plans to the S-3T, Training Chief, prior to
0800 hours, 24 Dec. All Platoon commanders will ensure their
subordinate personnel attend mandatory stocking-hanging safety classes
and are briefed on the safety aspects of stocking hanging by the Safety
Officer. Stocking Safety will be taught 18 Dec at 1900 in the
conference room of Bldg 321. Stocking Licenses will be issued at that
time. Stockings will be issued out of the pebble shack on a first come
first serve basis from 1400 - 1600 on 19 December.
e. At first sound of clatter, all personnel will spring from their
racks to investigate and evaluate the cause. Immediate action will be
taken to tear open the shutters and throw up the window sashes. On
order, Operations Plan (OPLAN) 7-01 (North Pole Contingency), para
6-8-A9(3), dated 4 Mar, this office, takes effect to facilitate shutter-
yearing and sash-throwing. Platoon Commanders, Platoon Sergeants, and
all Marines of the Guard will be familiar with procedures and are
responsible for seeing that no shutters are torn or sashes thrown in
the barracks prior to the start of official clatter.
f. Prior to 0001 hours, date of visit, all personnel possessing
Standard Target Acquisition and Night Observation (STANO) equipment
will be assigned "wondering eyeball" stations. The Sergeant of the
Guard will ensure that these stations are adequately manned even after
shutters are torn and sashes are thrown.
g. The Company Training Chief, in coordination with the U.S.
Transportation Command (CinC-Trans) and Motor T, will assign one each
Sleigh, Miniature, M-24A3 and eight (8) reindeer, tiny, for use by Lt
Gen Claus. The assigned driver must have a current sleigh operator's
license with rooftop permit and evidence of attendance at the winter
driving class stamped on his Department of Navy Form 348. Driver must
also be able to clearly shout "On, Dancer!" "On, Prancer!", etc.
2. Lt Gen Claus will initially enter Bldg 302 through the front
entryway. All buildings without chimneys will requisition Chimney
Simulator, M6A1, for use during the visit. Request chimney simulator
on Department of Navy Form 2765-1, which will be submitted in four
copies to the Company Gunnery Sergeant prior to 20 Dec. Personnel
will ensure that chimneys are properly cleaned before turn-in at the
conclusion of visit.
3. Personnel will be rehearsed in the shouting of "Merry Christmas and
Happy New Year!" or "Merry Christmas To All, and To All a Good Night!"
This shout will be given upon termination of the visit. Uniformity of
shouting is the responsibility of the Senior Enlisted Marine.

4. Torrin Polk, University of Houston receiver, on his coach, John

January)
12. Frank Layden, Utah Jazz president, on a former player:

>Two Coffees in Heaven!
Having arrived at the Gates of Heaven, Barrack Obama meets a man with a
beard. 'Are you Mohammed?' he asks. 'No my son, I am St. Peter;
Mohammed is higher up.' Peter then points to a ladder that rises into
the clouds.
Delighted that Mohammed should be higher than St. Peter, Obama climbs
the ladder in great strides, climbs up through the clouds and comes
into a room where he meets another bearded man. He asks again, 'Are
you Mohammed?' 'Why no,' he answers, ‘I am Moses; Mohammed is higher
still.'
Exhausted, but with a heart full of joy he climbs the ladder yet again,
he discovers a larger room where he meets an angelic looking man with a
beard. Full of hope, he asks again, 'Are you Mohammed?' 'No, I am
Jesus, the Christ; you will find Mohammed higher up.'
Mohammed higher than Jesus! Man, oh man! Obama can hardly contain his
delight and climbs and climbs ever higher. Once again, he reaches an
even larger room where he meets this truly magnificent looking man with
a silver white beard and once again repeats his question: 'Are you
Mohammed?' he gasps as he is by now, totally out of breath from all
his climbing. 'No, my son, I am Almighty God, the Alpha and the Omega,
but you look exhausted. Would you like a cup of coffee?'
Obama says, ‘yes please!' As God looks behind him, he claps his hands
and yells out: 'Hey, Mohammed, two coffees!'
MORAL:
Keep your trust in God; your president will be replaced.

...HaHa! Thanks PatDeE!
But I really don't think 'Mohammed' will be upper level anywhere!

would like to have chocolate (more than once but less than 10)
2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)
3. Add 5
4. Multiply it by 50 -- I'll wait while you get the calculator
5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1761.
If you haven't, add 1760.
6.. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.
You should have a three digit number

>The Quote of the Decade:
The fact that we are here today to debate raising America 's debt
limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US
Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on
ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our
Government's reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America's debt
weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that,
"the buck stops here.' Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of
bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren.
America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans
deserve better.
~ Senator Barack H. Obama, March 2006!

>ONE AT A TIME
A physics teacher in high school, once told the students that while one
grasshopper on the railroad tracks wouldn't slow a train very much, a
billion of them would.
With that thought in mind, read the following, obviously written by a
good American . . .
This probably sounds crazy, but just yesterday I was in Wal Mart
looking for a wastebasket. I found some made in China for $6.99. I
didn't want to pay that much so I asked the lady if they had any others.
She took me to another department and they had some at $2.50 made in
USA . They are just as good.
Same as a kitchen rug I needed. I had to look, but I found some made in
the USA and they were $3.00 cheaper.
We are being brain washed that everything that comes from China and
Mexico is cheaper. Not so. That is also why I don't buy cards at
Hallmark anymore. They are made in China and are expensive. I buy them
at Dollar Tree....50 cents each and made in USA .
Check this out. I can verify this because I was in Lowe's the other day
for some reason and just for the heck of it I was looking at the hose
attachments... They were all made in China .
The next day I was in Ace Hardware and just for the heck of it I
checked the hose attachments there.
They were made in USA .
Start looking ...In our current economic situation, every little thing
we buy or do affects someone else - even their job. So, after reading
this email, I think this lady is on the right track.. Let's get behind
her!
Good idea . . .. One light bulb at a time . . ..
This past weekend I was at Kroger . . . I needed 60W light bulbs and
Bounce dryer sheets.
I was in the light bulb aisle, and right next to the GE brand I
normally buy was an off-brand labeled, " Everyday Value ." I picked up
both types of bulbs and compared the stats they were the same except
For the price . . . The GE bulbs were more money than the Everyday
Value brand but the thing that surprised me the most was the fact that
GE was made in MEXICO and the Everyday Value brand was made in - get
ready for this - the USA in a company in Cleveland , Ohio .
So throw out the myth that you cannot find products you use every day
that are made right here...
So on to another aisle - Bounce Dryer Sheets... Yep, you guessed it,
Bounce cost more money and is made in Canada ... The Everyday Value
brand was less money and MADE IN THE USA! I did laundry yesterday and
the dryer sheets performed just like the Bounce Free I have been using
for years and at almost half the price!
My challenge to you is to start reading the labels when you shop for
everyday things and see what you can find that is made in the USA - the
job you save may be your own or your neighbors!
If you accept the challenge, pass this on to others in your address
book so we can all start buying American, one light bulb at a time!
Stop buying from overseas companies!
(We should have awakened a decade ago....)
Let's get with the program and help our fellow Americans keep their
jobs and create more jobs here in the USA .
I passed this on . .. . Will you???
---
...Sure! But that's just me - now I Dare You! Thanks PatDeE!

It was the accepted practice in Babylon 4,000 years ago that for a
month after the wedding, the bride's father would supply his son-in-law
with all the mead he could drink. Mead is a honey beer and because
their calendar was lunar based, this period was called the honey month,
which we know today as the "honeymoon".
In English pubs, ale is ordered by pints and quarts... So in old
England, when customers got unruly, the bartender would yell at them,
"Mind your pints and quarts, and settle down."
It's where we get the phrase "mind your P's and Q's"
Many years ago in England, pub frequenters had a whistle baked into the
rim, or handle, of their ceramic cups. When they needed a refill, they
used the whistle to get some service. "Wet your whistle" is the phrase
inspired by this practice.
The military salute is a motion that evolved from medieval times, when
knights in armor raised their visors to reveal their identity.

>The IRS sent my Tax Return back
The IRS sent my Tax Return back! AGAIN!!!
I guess it was because of my response to the question:
"List all dependents?"
I replied ...
"12 million illegal immigrants;
"3 million crack heads;
"42 million unemployable people on food stamps,
"2 million people in over 243 prisons;
"Half of Mexico and
"535 fools in the U.S. House and Senate.”;
Apparently, this was NOT an acceptable answer.

This is really sad. These simple people really believe that the
government is, or will be, responsive to their concerns. They
metaphorically shoot arrows into the air instead of targeting congress
(who have been the real culprits for over fifty years!) Half of these

millions of 'jobs' when his situation was similar. His effort was

*-- Oldest living dog dead at 26 --*
SAKURA, Japan - The Japanese owner of the canine certified as the
world's oldest living dog by Guinness World Records said the dog has
died at the age of 26 years, 9 months. Yumiko Shinohara of Sakura said
Pusuke, a male crossbreed, died Monday afternoon after refusing to eat
in the morning and appearing to have difficulty breathing, Kyodo News
reported Thursday. Shinohara said Pusuke died only a few minutes after
she arrived home from running errands. "I think (Pusuke) waited for me
to come home," she said. The dog, which had aged to the equivalent of
125 years in human terms, was certified in December 2010 as the world's
oldest living dog.
*-- Police seek 'Chewbacca' gunman --*
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Police in Florida said they were searching for
a man who wore a Chewbacca mask when he and a pair of young men were
involved in a shooting. West Palm Beach Police said they responded to a
report of a shooting Nov. 30 and a woman who witnessed the incident
said the Chewbacca-masked shooter was driving a car with two men --
later identified as Jodeci Lamar Window, 19, and Mario Johnson, 21 --
when they pulled up to a home and began shooting at Kyle Roney, the
South Florida Sun Sentinel reported Thursday. The witness said Roney,
who was on the front stairs of a home and was not injured, is suspected
by a local gang of being involved in a drug theft. Police said Roney
did not cooperate with the investigation. The woman said the shooters
drove off when a man she identified as "Saint" returned fire. The
witness picked Window and Johnson, who were not masked, out of a photo
lineup. They were arrested and charged with aggravated assault with a
deadly weapon.
-- Wife: Bank told hubby about account ------------
NEW YORK - A New York woman has sued her bank for letting
slip to her husband that she had $800,000 in an account
in her own name. Nazita Aminpour, a dentist, says in legal
papers that the Chase bank branch in Kew Gardens, Queens,
violated federal privacy laws, the New York Post reports.
She said her husband, David Shamash, nagged her about the
money until she gave him $155,000 in March 2008 to save
her marriage. The couple had a joint account at the branch
along with custodial accounts for their children. But
Shamash was not aware that Aminpour had a large account
in her own name until a bank employee called him and
suggested that the money be moved out of a low-interest
account to something with a higher return. Aminpour wants
Chase to reimburse the $155,000 and to pay her legal
bills. A bank statement included in the lawsuit filing
shows she now has more than $1 million in the account,
the report said.
-- Ball protest bounces wrong way for Italian --------
ROME - A man received an eight-month suspended jail
sentence Monday for rolling a half million or so colored
balls down Rome's famed Spanish Steps. Graziano Cecchini,
54, was convicted of disrupting bus services with his
January 2008 stunt, which he described as a protest against
dishonest politicians of all parties, ANSA reported.
Cecchini criticized the outcome of his trial, the Italian
news agency said. "What sort of interruption of service
could there possibly have been? The Piazza di Spagna
(Spanish Steps) is a pedestrian area. There wasn't any
crime, only a pop-art event," he said. Vittorio Sgarbi,
a prominent Italian art critic and former culture chief
of Milan, praised Cecchini's effort, saying "anarchy is
a typical feature of contemporary art."
-- Fire starts with spider chase -------------
PORTSMOUTH, England - British firefighters say a man set
fire to the front of his house trying to kill a spider
with a lighter. Firefighters said they arrived at the
Portsmouth, England, home and found the man attempting
to put out the flames with a garden hose, The Daily
Telegraph reported. "The whole thing had clearly scared
the life out of him," watch manager Steve Pearce said.
"There was a gap in the cladding where he was trying to
kill the spider and so the sparks got through to the
material behind and started spreading upward toward the
roof." Pearce said firefighters spent about two hours
extinguishing the blaze. "Surprisingly there wasn't much
damage to the house other than to the cladding," he said.
"We obviously had a chat with the man but I don't think
he'll be doing this again."

>The Talking Centipede
A single guy decided life would be more fun
If he had a pet.
So he went to the pet store and told the owner
that he wanted to buy an unusual pet.
After some discussion, he finally bought a talking centipede,
(100-legged bug), which came in a little white box to use
for his house.
He took the box back home, found a good spot for the box,
and decided he would start off by taking his new pet
to church with him.
So he asked the centipede in the box, "Would you like to go
to church with me today? We will have a good time."
But there was no answer from his new pet.
This bothered him a bit, but he waited a few minutes
And then asked again, "How about going to church with
me and receive blessings?"
But again, there was no answer from his new friend and pet.
So he waited A few minutes more, thinking about the situation.
The guy decided to invite the centipede one last time.
This time he put his face up against the centipede's house and
shouted, "Hey, in there! Would you like to go to church with
me and learn about God?"
... YOU ARE GOING TO LOVE THIS ....
This time,
A little voice
Came out of the box,
"I heard you the first time!
I'm just putting on my shoes!"

>Just Stay
A nurse took the tired, anxious serviceman to the bedside.
"Your son is here," she said to the old man.
She had to repeat the words several times before the patient's eyes
opened.
Heavily sedated because of the pain of his heart attack, he dimly saw
the young uniformed Marine standing outside the oxygen tent. He reached
out his hand. The Marine wrapped his toughened fingers around the old
man's limp ones, squeezing a message of love and encouragement.
The nurse brought a chair so that the Marine could sit beside the bed.
All through the night the young Marine sat there in the poorly lighted
ward, holding the old man's hand and offering him words of love and
strength. Occasionally, the nurse suggested that the Marine move away
and rest awhile.
He refused. Whenever the nurse came into the ward, the Marine was
oblivious of her and of the night noises of the hospital - the clanking
of the oxygen tank, the laughter of the night staff members exchanging
greetings, the cries and moans of the other patients.
Now and then she heard him say a few gentle words. The dying man said
nothing, only held tightly to his son all through the night.
Along towards dawn, the old man died. The Marine released the now
lifeless hand he had been holding and went to tell the nurse. While she
did what she had to do, he waited.
Finally, she returned. She started to offer words of sympathy, but
the Marine interrupted her.
"Who was that man?" he asked.
The nurse was startled, "He was your father," she answered.
"No, he wasn't," the Marine replied. "I never saw him before in my
life."
"Then why didn't you say something when I took you to him?"
"I knew right away there had been a mistake,
but I also knew he needed his son, and his son just wasn't here.
When I realized that he was too sick to tell whether or not I was
his son, knowing how much he needed me, I stayed."
I came here tonight to find a Mr. William Grey.
His Son was Killed in Iraq today, and I was sent to
inform him. What was this Gentleman's Name?
The Nurse with Tears in Her Eyes Answered,
Mr. William Grey.............
The next time someone needs you ... just be there. Stay.

A preacher of the old school was describing the events of
Judgement Day and, of course, he used Biblical phraseology
whenever he could.
"Oh, my friends," he intoned, "imagine the suffering of the
sinners as they find themselves cast into the outer darkness,
removed from the presence of the Lord and given to eternal
flames. My friends, at such a time there will be weeping,
wailing and a great gnashing of teeth!"
At this point, one of the elders of the congregation inter-
rupted to say, "But Reverend, what if one of those hopeless
sinners has no teeth?"
The preacher crashed his fist on the pulpit, "My friends,
the Lord is not put out by details. Rest assured... teeth
will be provided!"

Even with a thousand games, dolls and crafts to choose from,

"Maybe a video or something educational?" I asked.
"No, that's not it," she said.
We wandered the aisles until something caught her eye: a
laser gun with flashing lights and 15 different high-pitched
sounds.
"This is perfect," she said, beaming. "My daughter-in-law
will hate it."

After I prosecuted a man for killing a bird out of season

and asked the older woman there, "Is Karen around?" When
she looked at me quizzically, I added, "I'm her brother."
She smiled. "What a nice surprise. I'm Karen's mother."

Phrase origin: The Third Degree
The phrase comes from freemasonry. A Third-Degree or Master Mason
highest rank had to submit to questioning. This dates to at least 1772.
The idea that the Masons' testing was an ordeal became fixed in the
public mind. By 1880 the term became used for any long and arduous
questioning or interrogation. Around the turn of the 20th century, it
began to be applied exclusively to the police. The idea of a brutal
interrogation being called the third degree was no doubt helped along
by association with a third-degree burn.

A contestant on "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" reached the final
plateau.
If she answered the next question correctly, she would win $1,000,000.
If she answered incorrectly, she would pocket only the $25,000
milestone money. And as she suspected it would be, the million-dollar
question was no pushover.
It was, "Which of the following species of birds does not build its own
nest but instead lays its eggs in the nests of other birds? Is it:
A) the condor
B) the buzzard
C) the cuckoo
D) the vulture
The woman was on the spot. She did not know the answer. She had used up
her 50/50 Lifeline and her Ask the Audience Lifeline. All that remained
was her Phone-a-Friend Lifeline. She hoped she would not have to use it
because. . .her friend was, well, blonde.
But she had no alternative. She called her friend and gave her the
question and the four choices.
The blonde responded unhesitatingly: "That's easy. The answer is C: the
cuckoo."
The contestant had to make a decision and make it fast.
She considered employing a reverse strategy and giving Meredith any
answer except the one that her friend had given her. And considering
her friend was a blonde that would seem to be the logical thing to do.
But her friend had responded with such confidence, such certitude, that
the contestant could not help but be convinced.
"I need an answer," said Meredith.
Crossing her fingers, the contestant said, "C: The cuckoo."
"Is that your final answer?"
"Yes, that is my final answer."
And Meredith replied, "That answer is.... Absolutely correct! You are
now a millionaire!"
Three days later, the contestant hosted a party for her family and
friends, including the blonde who had helped her win the million
dollars.
"Jeni, I just do not know how to thank you, " said the contestant.
"How did you happen to know the right answer?"
"Oh, come on," said the blonde... "Everybody knows that cuckoos don't
build nests. They live in clocks."

A man walks into a bar in Chicago in the afternoon and orders three
scotches. Not one after the other, but all three at once. The bartender
is a little puzzled by this unusual request, but he doesn’t say
anything and gives the man what he wants. The man drinks them down one
by one, pays the bill, and leaves. The next day he comes back at five
o’clock and orders the same thing. Three scotches all at once. And the
day after that, for weeks.
Finally, curiosity gets the better of the barman. “I don’t mean to be
nosy, but you’ve been in here every day for the past two weeks ordering
your three scotches, and I’d just like to know why. Most people take
them one at a time.”
“Ah,” the man says, “the answer is very simple. I have two brothers.
One of them lives in New York, one in San Francisco and the three of us
are very close. As a way of honoring our friendship, we all go into a
bar at five in the afternoon, silently toasting one another’s health,
pretending that we’re all together in the same place.”
The barman nods, understanding the reason for this strange ritual.
The business goes on for another four months. Then something happens.
The man shows up at his regular hour one afternoon, but this time he
orders only two scotches. The bartender is worried, and after a while
he gets the courage to ask. “I don’t mean to be nosy, but every day for
five months you’ve come in here and ordered three scotches. Now you
order two. I just hope nothing’s wrong with your family.”
“Nothing’s wrong,” the man says, as chipper as ever.
”What is it then?”
”It’s very simple,” the man says. “I’ve stopped drinking.”

The boy licked his cone and replied, "Because the day I take

So there we are alongside the road and slowly the driver gets out of

seems to get funny?
Yeah, well, I could NOT believe it ... he was a DWARF!
He storms over to my car, looks up at me and says,
"I AM NOT HAPPY!"
So, I look down at him and said, "Well, which one are you then?"

>-->Quotes & Thunkers:
"A woman in Britain said that her pet goldfish survived for
seven hours in the open air outside of his tank, which is a
world record — for goldfish torture. In the fish world,
that's known as 'airboarding.'" -Jimmy Fallon
"Today is Pancake Day, the day that we remember and pay
tribute to all of the pancakes that have died in my stomach."
-Jimmy Kimmel
"Police in North Carolina are looking for a pregnant woman
who attempted to rob a bank at gunpoint. FBI sketch artists
have just released a sonogram. Be careful everyone she is
armed and lactating." -Jimmy Fallon
"There's an asteroid heading toward the earth and we're all
going to die. There is! Scientists are saying there's a 1
in 45,000 chance of an asteroid hitting the earth in 2036.
Now an asteroid is a giant rock. It's headed toward the
earth. We should send up a giant piece of paper. We couldn't
send scissors; that would be impractical." -Craig Ferguson
"According to Newsweek, they've now come out with the carbon
diet. An environmentally friendly diet that reduces green-
house gases. Let me tell you something. If your diet is so
bad that you are causing global warming... just stay out of
Taco Bell." -Jay Leno
"PETA was outside the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show last
night protesting. They want the dogs to stop wearing fur."
-David Letterman
"People in L.A. don't eat cereal, because they don't like
sugar because it's bad for you. It's OK to inject botulism
into your face, but not to eat sugar!" -Craig Ferguson
One day our descendants will think it incredible that we paid
so much attention to things like the amount of melanin in our
skin or the shape of our eyes or our gender instead of the
unique identities of each of us as complex human beings.
- Franklin Thomas
