Su Wong  marries  Lee Wong.
The next year, the Wongs have a new baby.

The nurse brings over a lovely, healthy, bouncy,

But definitely a Caucasian, WHITE baby boy.

'Congratulations,' says the nurse to the new parents.

'Well Mr. Wong, what will you and Mrs.

Wong name the baby?'

The puzzled father looks at his new baby boy and says,

'Well, two Wong's don't make a white, so I think we will name him...

Are you ready for this???

Are you sure you are ready??

Well.... here it comes...

A Newf goes down to the Grand Bank wharf looking for work and comes up to this captain of a fishing boat and says,......." Hey Capt'n got any work fer me?"

The captain gives him a 28 page job application and says....."Fill this out and bring it back to me".

So 2 days later the Newf brings it back and gives it to the captain.
The captain takes a quick look at it and says
"OK, you're hired, now go on board and find something to do."

Just then, this Japanese guy comes up to the captain and says
“Lookie wok, need wok."
The captain tells him "OK you're hired."
The Newf is standing right there and asks the captain,
"Hey, you made me fill out a 28 page job application and you just hired this guy like that, why?
Captain replies "He's got an honest face"

The Newf sighs and walks onto the boat, right upset. A few days later, they're out to sea and the Newf is up in the crow's nest looking for icebergs and the Japanese guy is down on the deck mopping the deck.
Just then, this great big wave comes along and washes the Japanese guy overboard.

The Newf gets down out of the crow's nest and walks into the captain's office and tells him--

“Remember that Japanese guy you hired with the honest face? Well, he just fucked off with your mop!”

U.S. army desertion rates rise 80 per cent since invasion of Iraq
By Lolita C. Baldor, THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
            

   

WASHINGTON - Soldiers strained by six years at war are deserting their posts at the highest rate since 1980, with the number of army deserters this year showing an 80 per cent increase since the United States invaded Iraq in 2003.

While the totals are still far lower than they were during the Vietnam War, when the draft was in effect, they show a steady increase over the past four years and a 42 per cent jump since last year.

"We're asking a lot of soldiers these days," said Roy Wallace, director of plans and resources for army personnel. "They're humans. They have all sorts of issues back home and other places like that. So, I'm sure it has to do with the stress of being a soldier."

The army defines a deserter as someone who has been absent without leave for longer than 30 days. The soldier is then discharged as a deserter.

According to the army, about nine in every 1,000 soldiers deserted in fiscal year 2007, which ended Sept. 30, compared to nearly seven per 1,000 a year earlier. Overall, 4,698 soldiers deserted this year, compared to 3,301 last year.

The increase comes as the army continues to bear the brunt of the war demands with many soldiers serving repeated, lengthy tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. Military leaders - including Army Chief of Staff Gen. George Casey - have acknowledged that the army has been stretched nearly to the breaking point by the combat. Efforts are under way to increase the size of the Army and Marine Corps to lessen the burden and give troops more time off between deployments.

"We have been concentrating on this," said Wallace. "The army can't afford to throw away good people. We have got to work with those individuals and try to help them become good soldiers."

Still, he noted that "the military is not for everybody, not everybody can be a soldier." And those who want to leave the service will find a way to do it, he said.

While the army does not have an up-to-date profile of deserters, more than 75 per cent of them are soldiers in their first term of enlistment. And most are male.

Soldiers can sign on initially for two to six years. Wallace said he did not know whether deserters were more likely to be those who enlisted for a short or long tour.

At the same time, he said that even as desertions have increased, the army has seen some overall success in keeping first-term soldiers in the service.

There are four main ways that soldiers can leave the Army before their first enlistment contract is up:

-They are determined unable to meet physical fitness requirements.

-They are found to be unable to adapt to the military.

-They say they are gay and are required to leave under the so-called "don't ask, don't tell" policy.

-They go AWOL.

According to Wallace, in the summer of 2005, more than 18 per cent of the soldiers in their first six months of service left under one of those four provisions. In June 2007, that number had dropped to about seven per cent.

The decline, he said, is largely due to a drop in the number of soldiers who leave due to physical fitness or health reasons.

Army desertion rates have fluctuated since the Vietnam War - when they peaked at five per cent. In the 1970s they hovered between one and three per cent, which is up to three out of every 100 soldiers. Those rates plunged in the 1980s and early 1990s to between two and three out of every 1,000 soldiers.

Desertions began to creep up in the late 1990s into the turn of the century, when the U.S. conducted an air war in Kosovo and later sent peacekeeping troops there.

The numbers declined in 2003 and 2004, in the early years of the Iraq war, but then began to increase steadily.

In contrast, the navy has seen a steady decline in deserters since 2001, going from 3,665 that year to 1,129 in 2007.

The Marine Corps, meanwhile, has seen the number of deserters stay fairly stable over that timeframe - with about 1,000 deserters a year. During 2003 and 2004 - the first two years of the Iraq war - the number of deserters fell to 877 and 744, respectively.

The Air Force can tout the fewest number of deserters - with no more than 56 bolting in each of the past five years. The low was in fiscal 2007, with just 16 deserters.

Despite the continued increase in army desertions, however, an Associated Press examination of Pentagon figures earlier this year showed that the military does little to find those who bolt, and rarely prosecutes the ones they find. Some are allowed to simply return to their units, while most are given less-than-honourable discharges.

"My personal opinion is the only way to stop desertions is to change the climate ... how they are living and doing what they need to do," said Wallace, adding that good officers and more attention from Army leaders could "go a long way to stemming desertions."

Unlike those in the Vietnam era, deserters from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars may not find Canada a safe haven.

Just this week, the Supreme Court of Canada refused to hear the appeals of two army deserters who sought refugee status to avoid the war in Iraq. The ruling left them without a legal basis to stay in Canada and dealt a blow to other Americans in similar circumstances.

The court, as is usual, did not provide a reason for the decision.

A man sits beside a beautiful woman at the bar.
He looks into her eyes and boldly asks, "Can I Smell Your Pussy ?"
She laps his face and says "Certainly not!"
He takes a deep breath threw his stinging nose and says "It's  got to be your feet then."

A Mormon was seated next to an Irishman on a flight from London.
After the plane was airborne, drink orders were taken. The Irishman
asked for a whiskey, which was promptly brought and placed before
him.The flight attendant then asked the Mormon if he would like a
drink.He replied in disgust, "I'd rather be violated by a dozen whores
than let liquor touch my lips."The Irishman then handed his drink back
to the attendant and said,"Me, too. I didn't know we had a choice."
