A fighter pilot walks into a bar and takes a seat next to a very attractive woman. He gives her a quick glance then casually looks at his watch for a moment.
The woman notices this and asks, "Is your date running late?"
"No," he replies, "I just got this state-of-the-art watch, and I was just testing it.
"The intrigued woman says, "A state-of-the-art watch? What's so special about it?"
The fighter pilot explains, "It uses alpha waves to talk to me telepathically.
The lady says, "What's it telling you now?"
"Well, it says you're not wearing any panties....
"The woman giggles and replies, "Well it must be broken because I AM wearing panties!

" The fighter pilot smirks, taps his watch and says, "Damn thing's an hour fast."

There was a preacher whose wife was expecting a baby. The preacher went to the congregation and asked for a raise. After much consideration and discussion, they passed a rule that whenever the preacher’s family expanded, so would his paycheck.
After six children, this started to get a bit expensive and the congregation decided to hold another meeting to discuss the preacher’s salary. There was much yelling and bickering about how much the clergyman’s additional children were costing the church.
Finally, the preacher got up and spoke to the crowd. “Having children is an act of God!” Silence fell upon the congregation.
In the back of the room a little old lady stood up and in a frail voice said, “Snow and rain are acts of God, but when we get too much, we wear rubbers!”
Don’t you just love little old ladies?

When it comes to war, do you think that this time the UN, and particularly France, Russia, and Germany will help stop Iran's nuclear weapons progress and funding of terrorism? Or is Iran paying them off to stay out of it like Iraq did?

Why do I have to tell my Bank of AMERICA ATM machine that I speak English? I'm an American in America. Why do I have to push "1" whenever I want to speak English to a customer service rep? Why do I have to flip boxes around to find the English label?

Anyone have ideas of where or how I can do my community service. I have to do 50 hours by January. It wouldn't be a problem excpet they restricted my licence for the same 6 months that I have to get this done. I'm not allowed to drive anywhere to do it. I've already talked to my PO, and lawyer but the judge will not appove it. So anyway I live out in the middle of nowhere about 10 miles from town. My dad works days and I work nights... He goes in to work at 6 am and doesnt get home until i've already left for work so he cannot give me a ride. I have no friends that can help me either. They are the ***holes that got me into this problem in the first place. The only thing I can think of is that there is a fire station like less than a mile from here -- but is there really anything that I can do to help them?? Any ideas would be really great.

Also I cannot afford taxi rides that far. And there is no public trasportation out here.

PLEASE HELP ME!!

Because of their cruelty in bludgeoning to death some 50,000 dogs. Pulling pets away from their owners, making noise in neighborhoods to find get them to bark then killing them. It is supposed to be to keep their rabies problem under control but the problem is so minor and there are so many better ways to solve it.

More than 200 lebanese children had die.

I asked this cuestion before and some people replay me with arguments like "Hizbolla were killing too" but i say:

Hizbolla is aguerrilla, but the murders in Lebanon are made by an army moved by a state, Israel's goverment.

So? Israel is acting like a terrorist group but with the power of a official state.

Eye by eye? If you think like this How many dead children you need to be satisfied?????

If you can read :

http://www.khaleejtimes.com/DisplayArticleNew.asp?xfile=data/weekend/2006/July/weekend_July54.xml§ion=weekend&col=

So, please if you will answer with things like "How about the murders Hillzbolla did in Israel" You are saying that is OK killing lebanese children.... that makes you worst than Hizbolla.

congress places a tariff on imports from countries that pay less than our minimum wage. The tariff would be equal to the difference in the wages paid in that country and what it would have cost to make it at our minimum wage. The tariff money would be used to support welfare programs for US unemployed workers. Do you agree with this idea?
