Why are we still there?

 

We occupied this land, which we had to take by force, but it causes us nothing but trouble.

Why are we still there?

 

Many of our children go there and never come back.

Why are we still there?

 

Their government is unstable, and they have loopy leadership.

Why are we still there?

 

Many of their people are uncivilized.

Why are we still there?

 

The place is subject to natural disasters, which we are supposed to bail them out of.

Why are we still there?

 

There are more than 1000 religious sects, which we do not understand.

Why are we still there?

 

Their folkways, foods and fads are unfathomable to ordinary Americans.

We can't even secure the borders.

Why are we still there?

 

They are billions of dollars in debt and it will cost billions more to

Airline Humor (Not for faint-of-heart, fearful flyers!)

 

Announcements during the flight

 

"Welcome aboard Southwest Flight 214 to Outer Mongolia (It is really good to trick people to think that they got the wrong flight). To operate your seatbelt, insert the metal tab into the buckle, and pull tight. It works just like every other seatbelt and if you don't know how to operate one, you probably shouldn't be out in public unsupervised. In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, oxygen 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 two small children, decide now which one you love more."

 

"We do feature a smoking section on this flight; if you must smoke, contact a member of the flight crew and we will escort you to the wing of the airplane."

 

"Smoking or sex in the lavatories is prohibited. Any person caught smoking in the lavatories will be asked to leave the plane immediately. "

 

"Weather at our destination is 30 degrees with some broken clouds, but they'll try to have them fixed before we arrive. Thank you, and remember, nobody loves you or your money more than Southwest Airlines."

 

"Your seat cushions can be used for flotation and in the event of an emergency water landing, please take them with our compliments."

 

"As you exit the plane, please make sure to gather all of your belongings. Anything left behind will be distributed evenly among the flight attendants. Please do not leave children or spouses."

 

"We are pleased to have some of the best flight attendants in the industry... Unfortunately none of them are on this flight..."

 

"Last one off the plane must clean it."

 

"We ask you to please remain seated as Captain Kangaroo bounces us to the terminal."

 

After a real crusher of a landing in Gore, the Flight Attendant came on with, "Ladies and Gentlemen, please remain in your seats until Captain Crash and the Crew have brought the aircraft to a screeching halt up against the gate. And, once the tire smoke has cleared and the warning bells are silenced, we'll open the door and you can pick your way through the wreckage to the terminal." You can announce this after normal landings also.

 

"Thank you for flying Quantas Business Express. We hope you enjoyed giving us the business as much as we enjoyed taking you for a ride."

 

One Pilot overheard over the loudspeaker: "Whoa, big fella. WHOA!"

 

Part of a Flight Attendant's arrival announcement: "We'd like to thank you folks for flying with us today. And, the next time you get the insane urge to go blasting through the skies in a pressurized metal tube, we hope you'll think of us here at Captain Safety Zany Airways."

 

Top 10 things you don't want to hear from the captain on an airplane

 

10. This is your captain speaking, and I don't feel that life is worth living anymore.

 

9. We're cruising at an altitude of... ah, hell, I don't know.

 

8. Could somebody come up here and tell me what this button does?

 

7. Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!! Just kidding.

 

6. Good God, Steve! We're going to crash! Oops... is this intercom on?

 

5. This is... uh... this is... uh... your... hmm. I seem to have lost my memory.

 

4. Passengers on the left side of the plane: does that engine sound funny to you?

 

3. Welcome aboard flight 109 -- you bunch of jerks!

 

2. Would a flight attendant bring me a martini? And keep 'em coming!

 

1. We'll be on the ground in 10 minutes. One way or another.

Dear Tide:

 

I'm writing to say what an excellent product you have! I've used it all through my married life, as my Mom always told me it was the best.

 

Now that I am in my fifties, I find it even better! In fact, about a month ago, I spilled some red wine on my new white blouse.

 

My inconsiderate and uncaring husband started to berate me about how clumsy I was, and generally started becoming a pain in the neck. One thing led to another and somehow I ended up with a lot of his blood on my white blouse.

 

I tried to get the stain out using a bargain detergent, but it just wouldn't come out. After a quick trip to the supermarket, I purchased a bottle of liquid Tide with bleach alternative, and to my surprise and satisfaction, all of the stains came out!

 

In fact, the stains came out so well the Detectives who came by yesterday told me that the DNA tests on my blouse were negative and then my attorney called and said that I would no longer be considered a suspect in the disappearance of my husband.

 

What a relief! Going through menopause is bad enough without being a murder suspect! I thank you, once again, for having such a great product.

 

Well, gotta go. I have to write a letter to the Hefty bag people .

I think I can claim to be officially freaked out when you see the avatars swap. Squirrel as lemming' date=' Dr Anomaly and Zornwil as Solomon, Lemming as Tim, Rage as Trebauchet, James Gillen as Rage and Owl Wife as Trebauchet.[/quote']

Maybe you and Bazza should switch!

 

Wow, the UK, America, and Australia all on at the same time, how often are all 3 of us simultaneously posting? I think usually one of us is away.

Well' date=' if the 'zornwil' identity has to be more than one person (and given his posting volume, you may have a point there) that's just another point toward zornwil [i']not[/i] being NGD Illuminati. After all, if it takes a full-time "staff" just to keep the 'zornwil' identity up to posting speed... :nonp:

I deny everything!

I'd like to point out that if I were a staff, wouldn't I at some point have posts at exactly the same time, and duplicated responses and such?

*sigh* Well, it looks like I'm going to have to update all my export templates, and create some new ones...

 

Why? Well because I had to go and get carried away with the awesome FH game SS is running, and make an uber character sheet for my character, and in so doing, made a couple discovers regarding needed tags, suggested them to Dan, and you know what the bastage did?!?!?!?

 

That's right he added them. :D:lol::D:lol:

 

So now, I have to put them to use... Thanks Dan!! :D

I have a modest proposal to make, and if the person agrees (or someone else is suggested and they agree) I'll start a thread on it. :)

 

We're having so much fun spreading confusion (even among ourselves) with those of us who agreed to participate in the avatar swap, that I'd like to propose a day when we take it one step further.

 

"Zornwil Day" -- in which everyone on the forums (not just a "select few") adopts zornwil's avatar, sig, title, and so on.

 

Or, if zornwil doesn't want that, perhaps we could find someone else willing to be the "mask" that everyone wears for a day.

 

Sort of the "all restaraunts are now Taco Bell" bit from Demolition Man or the "No, I am Spartacus!!" bit from Spartacus.

 

Whaddaya think?
