Can you imagine working for a company that has a little more than 600 employees and has the following statistics?

29 have been accused of spouse abuse
7 have been arrested for fraud
19 have been accused of writing bad cheques
117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses
3 have done time for assault
71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit
14 have been arrested on drug-related charges
8 have been arrested for shoplifting
21 are currently defendants in lawsuits
84 have been arrested for drink driving in the last year

Which organization is this?

It's the 635 members of the House of Commons, the same group that cranks
out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us in line.

The Donkey

One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.

He invited all his neighbours to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement he quieted down.

A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well. He was astonished at what he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up.

As the farmer's neighbours continued to shovel dirt on top of the
animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon,
everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of
the well and happily trotted off!

Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to
getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of
our troubles is a steppingstone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up! 
Shake it off and take a step up.

Remember the five simple rules to be happy:

1. Free your heart from hatred - Forgive.

2. Free your mind from worries - Most never happen.

3. Live simply and appreciate what you have.

4. Give more.

5. Expect less

NOW --------

Enough of that crap . . .

The donkey later came back, and bit the shit out of the farmer who had
tried to bury him. The gash from the bite got infected, and the farmer
eventually died in agony from septic shock.

MORAL FROM TODAY'S LESSON:

When you do something wrong, and try to cover your ass, it always comes back to bite you.

These are real extracts from appraisals (character assassinations)
Notes for civvies reading this
Appraisals consist of various text boxes against which comments are made by
ROs followed by a promotion recommendation

Rec =Recommended       HRec = Highly Recommended

There are 3 Reporting Officers (1st 2nd and 3rd) in an individuals reporting chain


DOWNRIGHT FUNNY

1st RO on Sgt Eng Tech EL

"However he maintains a good level of physical fitness by frequently walking his hyperactive dog".

__________________________________________________________

3rd RO on Jnr Tech MUSN

"Jnr Tech ****** quietly gets on with his work without blowing his own trumpet".

__________________________________________________________

3rd RO on Chf Tech Eng Tech EL

"Chf Tech ****** does not suffer fools gladly - he should show more tact
when the fools are at a higher rank".

_________________________________________________________


CURIOUS STATEMENTS/CONTRADICTIONS

1st RO on SAC ASOP

"A family illness recently caused her Falklands detachment to be cancelled
and to her credit she never allowed her personal problems to interfere with
her service commitments".

__________________________________________________________

2nd RO on FS A Eng Tech

"He helps to maintain his high fitness level through badminton, swimming and
chasing tradesmen around the hanger".

_________________________________________________________

1st RO on SAC/A/Cpl RAFP

"Whilst not a particularly good NCO I believe he has the potential to have
made an excellent officer".

__________________________________________________________

2nd RO on Cpl Pers Admin

"His confident attitude and open humour made him a popular individual who
had a refreshing attitude to life and an open adoration for Cilla Black,
which I could never understand".

__________________________________________________________

2nd RO on SAC ASOP

"SAC ****** has day dreamed his blissful way through another year of
disembodied euphoria. Unruffled, easy going, un-resentful, unhurried, he
drifts his quiet way through days and nights of shifts leaving barely a ripple".

__________________________________________________________


SUMMING UP AN INDIVIDUAL IN ONE SENTENCE1st RO on SAC MTD

"He has given the me impression of being an experienced mountaineer who has
settled for climbing Ben Nevis when he could quite easily conquer Everest".

__________________________________________________________

1st RO on SAC Pers Admin

"Under pressure SAC ****** tends to take the bull by the throat rather than by the horns".

__________________________________________________________

2nd RO on SAC Chef

"His laziness and low standards of work have alienated the majority of his
work mates to such an extent that being on shift with him is seen as a punishment".

__________________________________________________________

1st RO on Cpl Eng Tech EL

"Cpl ****** is as frustrating as a firework that refuses to ignite".

__________________________________________________________

1st RO on SAC Std

"He is the most evenly balanced Steward on the Station, he has a chip on both shoulders".

__________________________________________________________

2nd RO on Sgt Eng Tech AV

"A keen angler who would rather catch fish than try to out drink them".

__________________________________________________________


OUTRIGHT INSULTS

1st RO on SAC Pers Admin

"SAC ****** is a cheerful young man with a pleasant smile and co-operative
manner. At this point his good qualities cease".

__________________________________________________________

1st RO on Sgt RAFP

"His contribution to the Sqn is minimal, on his good days he makes up the
numbers. He has been sick for some time and we are investigating the
possibility of having him posted 'non-effective', which is also an accurate
description of him when he is here".

__________________________________________________________

1st RO on SAC Std

"In my opinion the best contribution he can make to the Royal Air Force is to leave".

__________________________________________________________

1st RO on SAC Supplr

"Frankly SAC ****** is useless, there is no other way to say it".

__________________________________________________________

POOR ENGLISH

1st RO on Sgt Eng Tech EL

"He swims and cycles to work to keep himself fit" (at Brize Norton).

__________________________________________________________

1st RO on SAC FFTR

"To conclude, SAC ****** has decided to terminate his life and career within
the RAF for employment with the police force".

On which the 3rd RO comments:

"Contrary to the 1st RO's belief, SAC ****** wishes to terminate his RAF career, not his life".

__________________________________________________________

1st RO on Cpl Med Admin

"He is single, but is in a stable relationship with a 3year old daughter. He
therefore lives off station in his own house".

__________________________________________________________

1st RO on Cpl Pers Admin

"She has provided much needed stiffening to the section during the tours of
two unremarkable SNCOs".

__________________________________________________________

1st RO on Cpl Eng Tech AV

"Cpl ****** has been involved in arranging for the care of his father who is
recently deceased".

__________________________________________________________

NOT ATTRIBUTED

Hopefully he will mature into an engineer, but at this time the best
description of him is a well spoken twit.

__________________________________________________________

He has made no secret of his ambition to one day becoming commissioned, with
a preference for the admin branch.

__________________________________________________________

Her typing, whilst energetic, will keep the makers of Snopake happy for a long time.

__________________________________________________________

SAC ****** is still immature and, at times, a scruffy airman, however, it is
hoped that his recent marriage will offer him some sense of responsibility,
and someone to do the ironing.

__________________________________________________________

1st RO - The club he runs recently raised money for a local disabled person
to have an electric chair.

2ND RO - I think I should point out that the electric chair mentioned by the
assessor has wheels and is used to help the owner to get about. As far as I
am aware Cpl ****** has no homicidal tendencies.

__________________________________________________________

In his established post he only has to supervise the work of one Group Captain.

__________________________________________________________

As a character Chf Tech ****** is rather rotund in appearance and is apt to
produce rude noises from either end of his frame, at regular intervals.

..... and particularly irksome is his use of "10-4" in place of the more acceptable "yes, sir".

He leaves the service this year which should allow his supervisors, various
members of the admin staff and the investigation branch to return to normal duties.

__________________________________________________________

Jnr Tech ****** is an active member of the station Tai Kwon Do club, and can
often be seen leaping around the station in his pyjamas.

__________________________________________________________

He is employed as a VDU operator. He spends most of his time operating a VDU.

__________________________________________________________

He must, as a matter of urgency, learn to control his tendency, when off
duty, to attack RAF policemen.

__________________________________________________________

...... his character is about as dynamic as a feather pillow.

__________________________________________________________

****** has developed the knack of ensuring that most personnel on the
squadron who have any dealings with him for more than 15 mins at a time,
would happily use him for target practice on the rifle range.

__________________________________________________________

His woeful _expression gives him the air of a cocker spaniel who has just received bad news.

__________________________________________________________

In a year that has had her re-married, posted and given a totally new piece
of equipment to work with, SACW ****** has come out of it reasonably well.

__________________________________________________________

A beer drinking, swashbuckling, full member of the Air Force, the kind you
would select when the going gets tough ****** has been very useful in
teaching our new recruits the ins and outs of service life.

This was confirmed with the originator, whose further comment was: She's a real man".

__________________________________________________________

Unfortunately Cpl ****** is less reliable than his dog.

__________________________________________________________

SAC ****** has been what a haemorrhoid is to a human from the start of the
course. He also found himself pitchforked into the Officers Mess where he
was up against some very cute cookies.

__________________________________________________________

3rd RO. Cpl ****** biggest problem would seem to be his inability to ignore
a pretty female face! While I admire his sentiments, he is frequently
distracted from his primary task and this is reflected in his numerical
assessments and promotion recommendation. If he does not respond to
counselling, we may have to resort to bromide in the tea!

__________________________________________________________


3rd RO. Generally very sensible in his outlook, he has been involved in a
few bizarre incidents, mainly associated with beer and bicycles, which have
resulted in him sustaining some personal injuries. I'm glad to report that
such incidents are becoming far less frequent, mainly because he now shows a
more reasoned and consistent judgement, but also because people are less
prepared to lend him their bicycles.

__________________________________________________________

1st RO. SAC ****** has the uncanny knack of pulling the wool over his
superiors' eyes by giving them the opinion he knows what is going on around him.

2nd RO. Amended promotion. Rec. From (Rec) to 5 (HRec).

__________________________________________________________

3rd RO. ... and established himself, in the eyes of his superiors, as the
most competent aerial erector in the flight.

__________________________________________________________

1st RO. His ability to empty a crewroom, merely by being there, usually
after a meal of curry or beans, could be a disadvantage in a staff post.

__________________________________________________________

Sgt ****** remains on good terms with his first wife, has acrimonious
dealings with his second and appears happily married to his third. The
numerous offspring further complicate matters.

__________________________________________________________

He can show a kindness and tact when necessary but can equally turn a
transgressing airman into a pillar of salt (or jelly) at 100 yards. He has
frightened me, as a casual observer.

__________________________________________________________

SAC ****** is tall, blond and handsome; every mother's dream of an ideal
son-in-law. The trouble is that he doesn't differentiate between mothers and daughters.

__________________________________________________________

2nd RO. He does his best but needs more practice at being "beastly to the troops".

______________________________________________________

1st RO. He is a keen supporter of York City but manages to stay cheerful
during the football season.

__________________________________________________________

1st RO. It is difficult to comment about ******'s supervisory abilities as
he has only one subordinate on the unit, whom he dislikes working with and avoids socially.

__________________________________________________________

******'s appetite for adventure and physical exertion fully justifies his nickname "Rambo".

__________________________________________________________

I can see little hope in Cpl... progressing any further, short of a major
outbreak of hostilities, culminating in a high mortality rate.

__________________________________________________________

WO ****** is a 9 to 4, as opposed to an 8 to 5 man, and the RAF will not
miss him when he leaves - he has already retired.

F6442 NARRATIVE COMMENTS

These are actual comments made by Reporting Officers and were provided by
the "Reading Cell" at RAF PMC. Although the Cell is now defunct, rumour has
it that it is about to be reintroduced.

Cpl Spplr (2nd RO)

"He is not unintelligent, just somewhat stupid".

__________________________________________________________

Cpl L Tech AD (3rd RO)

"In the short time I have known him, he has had a reputation for never being
at work, being either on standdown or sport, or time off in lieu".

__________________________________________________________

SAC Gnr (3rd RO)

"SAC ****** went through an unfortunate phase of rolling tanks over by being
a bit too aggressive whilst driving them. Fortunately, he survived these
experiences with only his pride dented - I wish I could say the same for the tanks".

__________________________________________________________

Sgt Gnr (3rd RO)

"Sgt ****** will enjoy his forthcoming tour in Belize where there are lots
of donkeys for him to talk the hind legs off".

__________________________________________________________

SAC F'Man (2nd RO)

It would appear that SAC ****** wants to go from chrysalis to butterfly
without the creepy-crawly bits in between".

__________________________________________________________



SAC P&A Clk (2nd RO)

"Recently he was drinking late with a fellow clerk when he decided that his
friend had had too much to drink - so he had him arrested by the RAF Police.
I feel a more appropriate course of action would have been to take his friend home".

__________________________________________________________

Jnr Tech A Tech A (1st RO)

"Jnr Tech ****** is, as far as the RAF is concerned, an 'if only' case. If
only he was interested - if only he was motivated - if only he was involved.
However, he does his job, albeit with more chasing by his supervisors than
is normal. He will complete his service, leave with a 'beer call' and people
will think "oh yes, he was a good fellow".

__________________________________________________________

Cpl (W) P&A Clk (2nd RO)

"When she is on her own her supervisory capabilities are more in evidence".

__________________________________________________________

Cpl A Tech P (2nd RO)

"He is a tall, well-built Welshman who looks as if he could play rugby for
his country; if not, at least he could chop down the trees used for the goal posts.

__________________________________________________________

SACW AATC (1st RO)

"SACW ****** must be to the emancipation of womanhood what concrete is to flying".

__________________________________________________________

Cpl P&A Clk (1st/2nd RO)

1st RO - "He accepts that he has no career prospects in the RAF and his sole
ambition when he leaves the Service is to become a long-distance lorry
driver; a lonely job for which he is well-suited. Alternatively, he should
consider the quiet contemplative life of a Trappist Monk".

2nd RO - "I am pleased to see a slight improvement in Cpl ******'s overall
performance since last year".

__________________________________________________________

Cpl Supplr (1st RO)

"Cpl ******'s attitude appears to be one of setting himself a daily minimum
workload target, then regularly failing to achieve it".

__________________________________________________________

Sgt Pers Admin (2nd RO)

"He can at best be likened to a hoop - when being driven by a stick performs
reasonably well, but when the stick is taken away, wobbles precariously to a halt".

__________________________________________________________

Sgt Chef (3rd RO)

"Commenting on a couple who both have volatile temperaments, the husband
with one view, the wife with another. I fear that the one whose aim with the
saucepan is the better may win the argument.

__________________________________________________________

SAC Supplr (3rd RO)

"A painfully quiet and withdrawn individual who would need a pedestal to
stand out in a crowd. I fear he is destined to remain a drone".

__________________________________________________________

SAC TCO (2nd RO)

"though it is unlikely he will ever become a 'hare', SAC ****** is
nevertheless a steady and faithful tortoise".

__________________________________________________________

WO A Tech P (3rd RO)

"WO ****** is magic. He has the wisdom and experience of his years, the
energy of a 20 year old, and the subtlety of a flying house brick".

__________________________________________________________

Cpl MT Tech (2nd RO)

"Cpl ****** may only be 20 years old but he is in effect a middle-aged
hen-pecked husband".

__________________________________________________________

Cpl Gen Tech GSE (3rd RO)

"Cpl ****** is awkward to talk to, and on occasions trying to get
information out of him is like trying to get dead flies off a windscreen".

__________________________________________________________

Cpl(W) AATC (2nd RO)

"When she arrived it was feared in some quarters that one so petite might
have some difficulty in dealing with the hulking young men she was asked to
supervise. She floats like a butterfly but can sting like a bee - in the
nicest possible way".

__________________________________________________________

Cpl A Tech P (3rd RO)

"I only met Cpl ****** once before his accident and it is difficult to
assess someone in hospital, particularly when he is in an oxygen tent".

  WHY AMERICANS SHOULD NEVER BE LET OUT THE COUNTRY
 (Actual comments from US travel agents):
 -------------------
 I had someone ask for an aisle seat so that their hair wouldn't get messed
 up by being near the window.
 -------------------
 A client called in inquiring about a package to Hawaii. After going over all
 the cost info, she asked, "Would it be cheaper to fly to California and then
 take the train to Hawaii?"
 -------------------
 I got a call from a woman who wanted to go to Capetown. I started to explain
 the length of the flight and the passport information when she interrupted
 me with "I'm not trying to make you look stupid, but Capetown is in Massachusetts."
 Without trying to make her look like the stupid one, I calmly  explained, "Cape Cod is 
in Massachusetts, Capetown is in Africa."
 Her response ...click.
 -------------------
 A man called, furious about a Florida package we did. I asked
 what was wrong with the vacation in Orlando. He said he was expecting an
 ocean-view room. I tried to explain that is not possible, since Orlando is
 in the middle of the state. He replied, "Don't lie to me. I looked on the
 map and Florida is a very thin state."
 -------------------
 I got a call from a man who asked, "Is it possible to see England from
 Canada?" I said, "No." He said, "But they look so close on the map."
 -------------------
 Another man called and asked if he could rent a car in Dallas. When I pulled
 up the reservation, I noticed he had a 1-hour layover in Dallas. When I
 asked him why he wanted to rent a car, he said, "I heard Dallas was a big
 airport, and I need a car to drive between the gates to save time."
 -------------------
 A nice lady just called. She needed to know how it was possible that her
 flight from Detroit left at 8:20 a.m. and got into Chicago at 8:33 a.m. I
 tried to explain that Michigan was an hour ahead of Illinois, but she could
 not understand the concept of time zones. Finally I told her the Plane went
 very fast, and she bought that!
 -------------------
 A woman called and asked, 'Do airlines put your physical description on your
 bag so they know whose luggage belongs to who?' I said, 'No, why do you
 ask?' She replied, 'Well, when I checked in with the airline, they put a tag
on my luggage that said FAT, and I'm overweight. Is there any connection?'
 After putting her on hold for a minute while I looked into it (I was
 actually laughing) I came back and explained the city code for Fresno is
 FAT, and that the airline was just putting a destination tag on her luggage.
 -------------------
 I just got off the phone with a man who asked, 'How do I know which plane to
 get on?' I asked him what exactly he meant, to which he replied, 'I was told
 my flight number is 823, but none of these darn planes have numbers on them.'
 -------------------
 A woman called and said, "I need to fly to Pepsi-Cola on one of those
 computer planes." I asked if she meant to fly to Pensacola on a commuter
 plane. She said, "Yeah, whatever."
 -------------------
 A businessman called and had a question about the documents he needed in
 order to fly to China. After a lengthy discussion about passports, I
 reminded him he needed a visa. "Oh no I don't, I've been to China many times
and never had to have one of those." I double-checked and sure enough, his
 stay required a visa. When I told him this he said, "Look, I've been to
 China four times and every time they have accepted my American Express."
 -------------------
 A woman called to make reservations; "I want to go from Chicago to
 Hippopotamus, New York." The agent was at a loss for words. Finally, the
 agent said, "Are you sure that's the name of the town?" "Yes, what flights
 do you have?" replied the customer. After some searching, the agent came
 back with, "I'm sorry, ma'am, I've looked up every airport code in the
 country and can't find a Hippopotamus anywhere." The customer retorted,  "Oh
 don't be silly. Everyone knows where it is. Check your map!" The agent
 scoured a map of the state of New York and finally offered, "You don't  mean
 Buffalo, do you?" "That's it! I knew it was a big animal!"

True Story

The following concerns a question in a physics degree exam at the University
of Copenhagen: "Describe how to determine the height of a skyscraper with a
barometer."

One student replied: "You tie a long piece of string to the neck of the
barometer, then lower the barometer from the roof of the skyscraper to the
ground. The length of the string plus the length of the barometer will equal
the height of the building." This highly original answer so incensed the
examiner that the student was failed immediately.

The student appealed on the grounds that his answer was indisputably
correct, and the university appointed an independent arbiter to decide the
case. The arbiter judged that the answer was indeed correct, but did not
display any noticeable knowledge of physics. To resolve the problem it was
decided to call the student in and allow him six minutes in which to provide
a verbal answer which showed at least a minimal familiarity with the basic
principles of physics.

For five minutes the student sat in silence, forehead creased in thought.
The arbiter reminded him that time was running out, to which the student
replied that he had several extremely relevant answers, but couldn't make up
his mind which to use. On being advised to hurry up the student replied as
follows:

"Firstly, you could take the barometer up to the roof of the skyscraper,
drop it over the edge, and measure the time it takes to reach the ground.
The height of the building can then be worked out from the formula H=0.5g x
t squared. But bad luck on the barometer.

Or if the sun is shining you could measure the height of the barometer, then
set it on end and measure the length of its shadow. Then you measure the
length of the skyscraper's shadow, and thereafter it is a simple matter of
proportional arithmetic to work out the height of the skyscraper.

But if you wanted to be highly scientific about it, you could tie a short
piece of string to the barometer and swing it like a pendulum, first at
ground level and then on the roof of the skyscraper. The height is worked
out by the difference in the gravitational restoring force T = 2 x pi x
square root(L/g).

Or if the skyscraper has an outside emergency staircase, it would be easier
to walk up it and mark off the height of the skyscraper in barometer
lengths, then add them up.

If you merely wanted to be boring and orthodox about it, of course, you
could use the barometer to measure the air pressure on the roof of the
skyscraper and on the ground, and convert the difference in millibars into
feet to give the height of the building.

But since we are constantly being exhorted to exercise independence of mind
and apply scientific methods, undoubtedly the best way would be to knock on
the janitor's door and say to him 'If you would like a nice new barometer, I
will give you this one if you tell me the height of this skyscraper'."

The student was Niels Bohr, the only Dane to win the Nobel prize for
Physics.

the smell of the sores ("...a pocket full of posies..."). People who died
from the plague would be burned so as to reduce the possible spread of the
disease ("...ashes, ashes, we all fall down!").

Just in case you weren't feeling too old today, this will certainly change
things. Each year the staff at Beloit College in Wisconsin puts together a
list to try to give the faculty a sense of the mindset of that year's
incoming college graduates .

Here is this year's list:

The people who are starting college this fall across the nation were born in
1980. They have no meaningful recollection of the Reagan Era and probably
did not know he had ever been shot.

They were prepubescent when the Persian Gulf War was waged. Black Monday
1987 is as significant to them as the Great Depression.

In their experience:

There has been only one Pope.

They were 11 when the Soviet Union broke apart and do not remember the Cold
War.

They have never feared a nuclear war.

They are too young to remember the space shuttle blowing up.

Tianamen Square means nothing to them.

Their lifetime has always included AIDS.

Bottle caps have always been screw off and plastic.

Atari predates them, as do vinyl albums. The expression "you sound like a
broken record" means nothing to them.

They have never owned a record player.

They have likely never played Pac Man and have never heard of Pong.

They may have never heard of an 8 track.

The Compact Disc was introduced when they were 1 year old.

There has always been VCR's, but they have no idea what BETA is.

They cannot fathom not having a remote control.

They were born the year that Walkmen were introduced by Sony.

Roller-skating has always meant inline for them.

Jay Leno has always been on the Tonight Show.

They have no idea when or why Jordache jeans were cool.

Popcorn has always been cooked in the microwave.

They have never seen Larry Bird play.

They never took a swim and thought about Jaws.

The Vietnam War is as ancient history to them as WWI, WWII and the Civil
War.

They have no idea that Americans were ever held hostage in Iran.

They can't imagine what hard contact lenses are.

They don't know who Mork was or where he was from.

They never heard: "Where's the beef?", "I'd walk a mile for a Camel," or "de
plane, de plane!"

They do not care who shot J.R. and have no idea who J.R. is.

The Titanic was found? They thought we always knew where it was.

Michael Jackson has always been white.

Kansas, Chicago, Boston, America, and Alabama are places, not groups.

McDonald's never came in Styrofoam containers.

There has always been MTV.

They don't have a clue how to use a typewriter.

weird sex laws

1. In Lebanon, men are legally allowed to have sex with animals, but the animals
must be female. Having sexual relations with a male animal is punishable by
death. (Like THAT makes sense.)

2. In Bahrain, a male doctor may legally examine a woman's genitals, but is prohibited
from looking directly at them during the examination. He may only
see their reflection in a mirror. (Makes you hope you never need surgery!)
 

3. Muslims are banned from looking at the genitals of a corpse. This also applies to
undertakers; the sex organs of the deceased must be covered with a brick or
piece of wood at all times. (A brick??) 

4. The penalty for masturbation in Indonesia is decapitation. (Whoa!) 

5. There are men in Guam whose full time job is to travel the countryside and deflower young
virgins, who pay them for the privilege of having sex for the first time...Reason: under Guam law,
it is expressly forbidden for virgins to marry. (Let's just think for a minute; is there any job
anywhere else in the world that even comes close to this?) 

6. In Hong Kong, a betrayed wife is legally allowed to kill her adulterous husband, but may only do so
with her bare hands. The husband's lover, on the other hand, may be killed in any manner desired.

(Ah!Justice!) 

7. Topless saleswomen are legal in Liverpool, England - but only in tropical fish stores. (But of course!) 

8. In Cali, Colombia, a woman may only have sex with her husband, and the first time this happens, her
mother must be in the room to witness the act. (Makes one shudder at the thought.) 

9. In Santa Cruz, Bolivia, it is illegal for a man to have sex with a woman and her daughter at the same
time. (This was a big enough problem that they had to pass this law?) 

10. In Maryland, it is illegal to sell condoms from vending machines with one exception: prophylactics may
be dispensed from a vending machine only "in places where alcoholic beverages are sold for consumption on
the premises." (Is this a great country or what? ...Not as great as Guam, though!!) 

Cheers...See you in Indonesia............NOT !!

I am just an apprentice and *propulsion is my trade
I have squandered all me money, on NAAFI wagons, cigarettes and porny books

And me hair was rather long, but the Barber soon took that lot off
 
With his scissors and his comb and electric razor
I could have cried when I looked out and I saw the sight – me hair was all around
It was gawn – and it was lying on the ground

                                                      And it’s straight across to breakfast – and back again to room jobs                                                                                                         And then off to work
                                                         Marching down, with those Di’s shouting at us “Get those arms up shoulder high”
                                                                             We’re marching by - nearly reach up for the sky (sic!)

The European Commission has just announced in 2002
      an agreement whereby  English  will be the official language of the
 EU
      rather than German  which was the other possibility. As
      part of the negotiations, Her Majesty's Government conceded that
      English spelling needed improvement and has accepted a 5 year
 phase-in
 plan that would
      produce a new language known as  "Euro-English".

 In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c".
 Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard
 "c" will be dropped in favour of the"k". This should klear up konfusion
 and keyboards kan have 1 less letter.
 There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year, when
 the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f".
 This will make words like "fotograf" 20% shorter.

 In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be
 ekspekted to reach a stage where more komplikated changes are possible.
 Governments will enkorage the removal of double letters, which have
 always ben a deterent to akurate speling.
 Also, al wil agre that the horible mes of the silent "e"s in the language
 is
 disgraseful, and they should go away. By the fourth year, peopl wil be
 reseptiv to
 steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v". During ze fifz
 year,
 ze unesesary
 "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and similar changes vud of
 kors
be aplid to ozer kombinations of leters.

 After zis fifz yer, ve vil hav a reli sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no
