It's almost 200 years since Lord Nelson's famous naval victory over the French and Spanish in the Battle of Trafalgar. To kick-start the anniversary celebrations, an actor dressed as Nelson posed for pictures on the River Thames at Greenwich. But before he was allowed to board an RNLI Lifeboat, safety officials made him wear a lifejacket over his 19th century admiral's uniform. How would Nelson have fared if he had been subject to modern health and safety regulations???? You are now on the deck of the recently renamed British Flagship, HMS Appeasement. "Order the signal, Hardy." "Aye, aye sir." "Hold on, that's not what I dictated to the signal officer. What's the meaning of this?" "Sorry sir?" "England expects every person to do his duty, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religious persuasion or disability. What gobbledegook is this?" "Admiralty policy, I'm afraid, sir. We're an equal opportunities employer now. We had the devil's own job getting 'England' past the censors, lest it be considered racist." "Gadzooks, Hardy. Hand me my pipe and tobacco." "Sorry sir. All naval vessels have been designated smoke-free working environments." "In that case, break open the rum ration. Let us splice the main brace to steel the men before battle." "The rum ration has been abolished, Admiral. It's part of the Government's policy on binge drinking." "Good heavens, Hardy. I suppose we'd better get on with it. Full speed ahead." "I think you'll find that there's a 4 knot speed limit in this stretch of water." "Damn it man! We are on the eve of the greatest sea battle in history. We must advance with all dispatch. Report from the crow's nest, please." "That won't be possible, sir." "What?" "Health and safety have closed the crow's nest, sir. No harness. And they said that rope ladder doesn't meet regulations. They won't let anyone up there until a proper scaffolding can be erected." "Then get me the ship's carpenter without delay, Hardy." "He's busy knocking up a wheelchair access to the fo'c'sle Admiral." "Wheelchair access? I've never heard anything so absurd." "Health and safety again, sir. We have to provide a barrier-free environment for the differently abled." "Differently abled? I've only one arm and one eye and I refuse even to hear mention of the word. I didn't rise to the rank of admiral by playing the disability card." "Actually, sir, you did. The Royal Navy is under-represented in the areas of visual impairment and limb deficiency." "Whatever next? Give me full sail. The salt spray beckons." "A couple of problems there too, sir. Health and safety won't let the crew up the rigging without crash helmets. And they don't want anyone breathing in too much salt - haven't you seen the adverts?" "I've never heard such infamy. Break out the cannon and tell the men to stand by to engage the enemy." "The men are a bit worried about shooting at anyone, Admiral." "What? This is mutiny." "It's not that, sir. It's just that they're afraid of being charged with murder if they actually kill anyone. There's a couple of legal aid lawyers on board, watching everyone like hawks." "Then how are we to sink the Frenchies and the Spanish?" "Actually, sir, we're not." "We're not?" "No, sir. The Frenchies and the Spanish are our European partners now. According to the Common Fisheries Policy, we shouldn't even be in this stretch of water. We could get hit with a claim for compensation." "But you must hate a Frenchman as you hate the devil." "I wouldn't let the ship's diversity co-ordinator hear you saying that sir. You'll be up on disciplinary." "You must consider every man an enemy who speaks ill of your King." "Not any more, sir. We must be inclusive in this multicultural age. Now put on your Kevlar vest; it's the rules." "Don't tell me - health and safety. Whatever happened to rum, sodomy and the lash?" "As I explained, sir, rum is off the menu. And there's a ban on corporal punishment." "What about sodomy?" "I believe it's to be encouraged, sir." "In that case ...kiss me, Hardy."

Coalition forces bombed a building in Bagdad believed to be an emeny hideout. A nearby whore house inadvertantly struck, killing three prostitutes. The spokesman for the coalition forces said in a briefing that several suspected enemy fighters were killed and there was some clitoral damage.

Duck walks into a bar and orders a beer. Barman says, "Hey, you're a duck!" "Nothing wrong with your eyesight," observes the duck. "Yeah, but I mean -- you can TALK!" says the barman. "Guess your ears are fine, too," answers the duck. "Now, can I have a beer please." Barman serves the duck a pint and asks him what he's doing in the area. "Oh," says the duck. "I work on the building site over there. We'll be here for a couple of weeks, and I'll be in each lunchtime for a pint." And each day the duck waddles over from his job at the building site and has his lunchtime lager. The next week, the circus comes to town on its annual round. The circus owner comes in for a pint, and the barman tells him about the talking duck. "You should get it into your circus," he says. "You could make a lot of bucks out of a talking duck. I'll speak to him about it." Following day, the duck comes in at lunchtime. Barman says, "You know, the circus is in town, and yesterday I was chatting to the owner. He's very interested in you." "Really?" says the duck. "Yeah. You could make a lot of money there. I can fix it up for you easily." "Hang on," said the duck. "You did say a CIRCUS, didn't you?" "That's right." "That's one of those tent things, isn't it? With a big pole in the middle?" "Yeah!" "That's canvas, isn't it?" said the duck. "Of course," replied the barman, "I can get you a job there starting tomorrow. The circus owner's dead keen." The duck looked very puzzled. "What would he want with a plasterer?"

But the Führer of the German people at the beginning of the war prophesied what has now come to pass."

Mornin'.

What a roller coaster emotional 7 days! As you know, went to Wisconsin last Thursday to participate in my friends Bill & Liz's wedding on Saturday. Unfortunately, Bill's father, after suffering another Stroke a couple of weeks ago, had to be moved to a hospice to spend his last days. On Friday, we picked up Bill at the care center, and we all said our goodbyes to Bill's dad, Bill Sr. They had decided the wedding must go on, since so many people were coming such long distances to celebrate their wedding day. On the previous Wednesday, they preformed a small wedding ceremony at the hospice for Bill Sr. The nurses put a carnation on Bill's hospital gown, and they had a nice ceremony, Bill Sr. smiled and was happy to see his son marry such a fine woman. I know it had to be difficult for Bill to leave his dads side, knowing the congestive heart disease would take him at anytime. Could be days, or hours. But we all tearfully said our farewells, and left for Eau Claire, Wisconsin from Madison. At 5pm we all met at the church for the wedding rehearsal. Everyone in the wedding party was there, and we learned what to do for the ceremony. Then we left the church and proceeded to a very nice Brew Pub for the rehearsal dinner. It wasn't long after we had been seated, that we learned that Bill Sr. passed away at 5:20 pm, right at the time the couple were rehearsing there wedding vows. There wasn't a dry eye in the place, even total strangers were teary eyed and came over to express their condolences to Bill and Liz, and Bill's sister Cathy. On Saturday, the wedding went off as planned. Everything went very well, as Bill and Liz became husband and wife. A fantastic wedding reception was enjoyed by all. Sunday we drove back to Madison, and awaited the news of the viewing and funeral plans. Tuesday evening was the viewing at the funeral home, yesterday (Wed) was the funeral at the church. Tears flowed yesterday at the church, as Bill Jr. spoke of his dad to everyone from the podium, as did his sister Cathy. From there, we all drove to the cemetary, to say our final goodbyes, and for Bill Sr.'s military salute. A WWII vet, Bill served in Europe, a nose gunner on a B-25, and flew many missions over occupied Europe, and then over Germany. Two Air Force Sargents performed the flag ceremony, while a bugler from the US Army played "Taps" after the 3 volleys were fired by seven members of the local American Legion, in salute to Bill Sr. We then said our final goodbye to the family and made our way back home here to Iowa. So I am a few days late getting back here, didn't get to vote in the election either. But wouldn't of missed these last few days for the world. Bill Sr. was "everybodys" dad. Always smiling, always wanting to go out for dinner with us "kids", go to the Knights of Columbus hall or the local churches to play cards, watch the Cubs during baseball season, or watch a round or two of golf. We have lost another member of the "Greatest Generation". And I thank God that I had the opportunity to have known him. To Bill Goins Sr., US Army Air Corp, I Salute you!

LMAO!

Why do blondes wash their hair in the kitchen sink? That's where you wash vegetables, isn't it?

Mrs. CobraJ was reading a newspaper, while Jay was engrossed in a magazine. Suddenly, she burst out laughing. "Listen to this," she said. "There's a classified ad here where a guy is offering to swap his wife for a season ticket to the stadium." "Hmmm," Jay said, not looking up from his magazine. Teasing him, she said, "Would you swap me for a season ticket?" "Absolutely not," he said. "How sweet," she said. "Tell me why not." "Season's more than half over," Jay replied.
