Almost seven years ago I sat, as did millions of other Americans, and watched as our government underwent a peaceful transition of power. At first, I felt a swell of pride and patriotism as I watched George W. Bush take his oath of office. However, all that pride quickly vanished as I later watched the Clintons board Air Force One for the last time. I saw 21 Marines, in full dress uniform with rifles, fire a 21-gun salute to the outgoing President and first lady. It was then that I realized how far America's military had deteriorated under the Clinton administration. Every last one of them missed.    |

The price of Gas versus Printer Ink All these examples do NOT imply that gasoline is cheap; it just illustrates how outrageous some prices are.... You will be really shocked by the last one! (At least, I was...) Compared with Gasoline...... Think a gallon of gas is expensive? This makes one think, and also puts things in perspective. Diet Snapple 16 oz $1.29 ... $10.32 per gallon Lipton Ice Tea 16 oz $1.19...$9.52 per gallon Gatorade 20 oz $1.59 ... $10.17 per gallon Ocean Spray 16 oz $1.25 ... $10.00 per gallon Brake Fluid 12 oz $3.15...$33.60 per gallon Vick's Nyquil 6 oz $8.35...$178.13 per gallon Pepto Bismol 4 oz $3.85 .. $123.20 per gallon Whiteout 7 oz $1.39 ...$25.42 per gallon Scope 1.5 oz $0.99...$84.48 per gallon And this is the REAL KICKER... Evian water 9 oz $1.49..$21.19 per gallon! $21.19 for WATER and the buyers don't even know the source (Evian spelled backwards is Naive.) Ever wonder why printers are so cheap? So they have you hooked for the ink. Someone calculated the cost of the ink at...(you won't believe it...but it is true...) $5,200 a gal. (five thousand two hundred dollars) So, the next time you're at the pump, be glad your car doesn't run on water, Scope, or Whiteout, Pepto Bismol, Nyquil or God forbid, Printer Ink! Just a little humor to help ease the pain of your next trip to the pump... And - If you don't pass this along to at least one person, your muffler will fall off!! Okay, your muffler won't really fall off...but, you might run out of toilet paper!! One more thought. Since beer is cheaper than gasoline now, you should drink and not drive!  |

A nice story - will make you appreciate family... My grandmother died in the 50s, but her birthday is coming up, and that always causes me to reminisce. The long walks we used to take to the store in town, the quarters she gave me for meaningless jobs like pulling weeds or washing the sidewalk. Those gems were all precious, but the one I remember most, the jewel in the crown of grandmotherly advice, occurred when I was only about 13. We were sitting in a park having just finished collecting some 40 soda bottles for the deposit money on a beautiful spring day. She told me that one day, I would find a wonderful woman and start my own family. 'And always remember this thing,' she said, 'be sure you marry a woman with small hands.’ 'How come, Grandma?' I asked her. She answered in her soft tender voice. 'Makes your dick look bigger.' Kinda brings a tear to your eye, doesn't it? THE OLD SARGE  +

THE OLD SARGE + You really had me going there for a minute thinking about my own two grandmas. Actually, that was pretty good! Mark Edit: Hey!! My 300th post!!  Gotta put my favorite F-106 photo of me up for this one!!  |

During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director, 'How do you determine whether or not a patient should be institutionalized?' 'Well,' said the Director, 'we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teasp00n, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty the bathtub .' 'Oh, I understand,' said the visitor. 'A normal person would use the bucket because it's bigger than the sp00n or the teacup.' ''No,' said the Director. 'A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near the window?' |

From AFA update. A Common Thread: Football fan CMSAF Rodney McKinley uses a football analogy, specifically the need for performing the basics of blocking and tackling well to highlight a leadership message in his latest "The Enlisted Perspective. " In his words, "At [basic military training] and technical training [airmen] learn the basics, or blocking and tackling. ... As leaders, it is our responsibility to ensure those basics our airmen learned are reinforced every day. ... Leaders never walk by a problem. If you do, you are now part of the problem. You must never miss the opportunity to provide feedback to our airmen, positive or negative."  Sounds like my 1st supervisor  |

Bob Justus sent this along, an email from Ireland to the brethren in the States. A point to ponder DESPITE your political affiliation: 'We, in Ireland, can't figure out why people are even bothering to hold an election in the United States . On one side, you have a pants wearing lawyer, married to a lawyer who can't keep his pants on, who just lost a long and heated primary against a lawyer who goes to the wrong church who is married to yet another lawyer who doesn't even like the country her husband wants to run. Now . . . On the other side, you have a nice old war hero whose name starts with the appropriate Mc terminology married to a good looking younger woman who owns a beer distributorship. What, in Lords name, are you lads thinking over there in the colonies?? |

True friendship is like pissing your pants, everyone else can see it, but only you can feel the warmth.

On some bases the Air Force is on one side of the field and civilian aircraft use the other side of the field, with the control tower in the middle. One day the tower received a call from an aircraft asking, 'What time is it?' The tower responded, 'Who is calling?' The aircraft replied, 'What difference does it make?' The tower replied, 'It makes a lot of difference........ If it is an American Airlines flight, it is 3 o'clock. If it is a Marine Corps aircraft, it is 1500 hours. If it is a Navy aircraft, it is 6 bells. If it is an Army aircraft, the big hands on the 12 and the little hands on the 3. If it is a Air Force aircraft, it's Thursday afternoon and 120 minutes to 'Happy Hour.' |
