----- Suicide Jumper
If you have a weak stomach, then don't click on the link below.
It is a picture of a suicide jumper taken shortly after he landed.
It shows him with his insides now on the outside.
You will see the look of horror on the faces of the bystanders.
By the faces of the bystanders, I believe this photo to be real.

Our soldiers deserve proper weaponry

Re: Liberal Policies Are Taking Their Toll, Lorne Gunter, Aug. 27.
Nobody enjoys reading a good Liberal bashing editorial as much as me. Especially when it's delivered by Lorne Gunter. However, he states bluntly that we can blame the Liberals for deaths in Afghanistan. But it was Brian Mulroney's government that sold the country's CH-47 Chinook medium-lift helicopter fleet to the Dutch in the 1980s. The result is that our troops must rely on the airlift assets of the British, Americans and, ironically, the Dutch. Both the Liberals and Conservatives must share in the responsibility for the deterioration of our Armed Forces

Don hope she was not on your plain
Subject: Frozen crabs
A man boarded an airplane in St. John's with a box of frozen crabs.
A female crew member took it and promised to put it in the crew's refrigerator, which she did.
Shortly before landing, try as she might, she couldn't remember who gave her the package, so she announced to the entire cabin,
"Would the gentleman who gave me the crabs in St. John's please raise your hand?"
Not one hand went up, so she took them home and ate them herself

Eve's side of the story.
After three weeks in the Garden of Eden, God came to visit Eve.
"So, how is everything going?" inquired God.
"It is all so beautiful, God," she replied.
"The sunrises and sunsets are breathtaking, the smells, the
sights, everything is wonderful, but I have just one problem.
It's these breasts you have given me. The middle one pushes the other
two out and I am constantly knocking them with my arms, catching them
on branches and snagging them on bushes. They're a real pain,"
reported Eve.
And Eve went on to tell God that since many other parts of her body
came in pairs, such as her limbs, eyes, ears, etc..........she felt
that having only two breasts might leave her body
more "symmetrically balanced".
"That's a fair point," replied God, "But it was my first shot at
this, you know. I gave the animals six breasts, so I figured that you
needed only half of those, but I see that you are right. I will fix
it up right away."
And God reached down, removed the middle breast and tossed it into
the bushes.
Three weeks passed and God once again visited Eve in the Garden of
Eden.
"Well, Eve, how is my favorite creation?"
"Just fantastic," she replied, "But for one oversight. You see, all
the animals are paired off. The ewe has a ram and the cow has her
bull. All the animals have a mate except me. I feel so alone."
God thought for a moment and said, "You know, Eve, you are right. How could I have overlooked this? You do need a mate and I will
immediately create a man from a part of you. Lets see..........where did I put the useless boob?"
Now doesn't THAT make more sense than that crap about the rib?

The French President, is sitting in his office when his telephone
rings.
"Hallo, Mr. Chirac!" a heavily accented voice said. "This is Paddy
down
at the Harp Pub in County Clare, Ireland. I am ringing to inform you
that we are officially declaring war on you!"
"Well, Paddy," Chirac replied, "This is indeed important news! How
big
is your army?"
"Right now," says Paddy, after a moment's calculation, "there is
meself,
Me Cousin Sean, me next door neighbor Seamus, and the entire darts
team
from the pub. That makes eight!"
Chirac paused. "I must tell you, Paddy that I have 100,000 men in my
Army waiting to move on my command."
"Begorra!" says Paddy. "I'll have to ring you back. Sure enough, the
next day, Paddy calls again. "Mr. Chirac, the war is still on. We
have
managed to get us some infantry equipment!"
"And what equipment would that be Paddy?" Chirac asks.
"Well, we have two combines, a bulldozer, and Murphy's farm tractor."
Chirac sighs amused. "I must tell you, Paddy, that I have 6,000 tanks
and 5,000 armored personnel carriers. Also, I have increased my army
to
150,000 since we last spoke."
"Saints preserve us!" says Paddy. "I'll have to get back to you."
Sure
enough, Paddy rings again the next day. "Mr. Chirac, the war is Still
on! We have managed to get ourselves airborne! We have modified
Jackie
McLaughlin's ultra-light with a couple of shotguns in the cockpit and
four boys from the Shamrock Bar have joined us as well!"
Chirac was silent for a minute and then cleared his throat. "I must
tell
you, Paddy, that I have 100 bombers! and 200 fighter planes. My
military
bases are surrounded by laser-guided, surface-to-air missile sites.
And
since we last spoke, I have increased my army to 200,000!"
"Jesus, Mary, and Joseph!" says Paddy, "I will have to ring you
back."
Sure enough, Paddy calls again the next day. "Top o' the mornin', Mr.
Chirac! I am sorry to inform you that we have had to call off the
war."
"Really? I am sorry to hear that," says Chirac. "Why the sudden
change
of heart?"
"Well," says Paddy, "we had a long chat over a few pints of Guinness
and
decided there is no fookin' way we can feed 200,000 French
prisoners."

A fart it is a pleasant thing,
It gives the belly ease,
It warms the bed in winter,
And suffocates the fleas.
A fart can be quiet,
A fart can be loud,
Some leave a powerful,
Poisonous cloud
A fart can be short,
Or a fart can be long,
Some farts have been known
To sound like a song......
A fart can create
A most curious medley,
A fart can be harmless,
Or silent , and deadly.
A fart might not smell,
While others are vile,
A fart may pass quickly,
Or linger a while......
A fart can occur
In a number of places,
And leave everyone there,
With strange looks on their faces.
From wide-open prairie,
To small elevators,
A fart will find all of
Us sooner or later.
But farts are all bad,
Is simply not true-
We must never forget.......
Sweet old farts like you!
