Now we hear from George Villanueva.

An elderly gent was invited to an old friend's home for dinner one evening. He was impressed by the way his buddy preceded every request to his wife with endearing terms such as: Darling, Honey, My Love, Pumpkin, Sweetheart, etc.

The couple had been married almost 70 years and, clearly, they were still very much in love.

While the wife was in the kitchen, the man leaned over to his host, and said: "I think it's wonderful that, after all these years, you still call your wife those loving pet names." The old man hung his head. "I have to tell you the

truth," he said. "Her name slipped my mind about 10 years a go, -- and I'm scared to death to ask her what it is."

********************************************************************

Here another one from the collection of Gary Chenett.

There once was a religious young woman who went to Confession. Upon entering the confessional, she said,

'Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned.'

The priest said, 'Confess your sins and be forgiven.'

The young woman said, 'Last night my boyfriend made mad passionate love to me seven times.'

The priest thought long and hard and then said, 'Squeeze seven lemons into a glass and then drink the juice.'

The young woman asked, 'Will this cleanse me of my sins?'

The priest said, 'No, but it will wipe that silly smile off of your face.'

Speaking of "Friends", This one came in from Danny Horn.

I'm not sure who sent this one in, but, I know a lot of people like this!!

RETARDED GRANDPARENTS - (this was actually reported by a teacher)
After Christmas, a teacher asked her young pupils how they spent their holiday away from school. One child wrote the following:
We always used to spend the holidays with Grandma and Grandpa. They used to live in a big brick house but Grandpa got retarded and they moved to Florida ...Now they live in a tin box and have rocks painted green to look like grass.
They ride around on their bicycles and wear name tags because they don't know who they are anymore. They go to a building called a wreck center, but they must have got it fixed because it is all okay now, they do exercises there, but they don't do them very well. There is a swimming pool too, but all they do is jump up and down in it...with hats on.
At their gate, there is a doll house with a little old man sitting in it. He watches all day so nobody can escape. Sometimes they sneak out, and go cruising in their golf carts.
Nobody there cooks, they just eat out. And, they eat the same thing every night -- early birds. Some of the people can't get out past the man in the doll house. The ones who do get out, bring food back to the wrecked center for pot luck.
My Grandma says that Grandpa worked all his life to earn his retardment and says I should work hard so I can be retarded someday too. When I earn my retardment, I want to be the man in the doll house. Then I will let people out, so they can visit their grandchildren.

Here's some "I didn't know that, Stuff!" sent in by Ole' Grouchy.

In 1923, Who Was:

1. President of the largest steel company?
2. President of the largest gas company?
3. President of the New York stock Exchange?
4. Greatest wheat speculator?
5. President of the Bank of International Settlement?
6. Great Bear of Wall Street?

These men were considered some of the worlds most successful of their days.

Now, 80 years later, the history book asks us, if we know what ultimately became of them.

The Answers:

1. The president of the largest steel company.
Charles Schwab,

died a pauper.

2. The president of the largest gas company,
Edward Hopson,

went insane.

3. The president of the NYSE,
Richard Whitney,

was released from prison to die at home.

4. The greatest wheat speculator,
Arthur Cooger,

died abroad, penniless.

5. The president of
the Bank of International Settlement,

shot himself.

6 The Great Bear of Wall Street,
Cosabee Livermore,

also committed suicide

However,
in that same year, 1923, the PGA Champion and the winner of the most important golf tournament, the US Open, was

Gene Sarazen.

What became of him?

He played golf until he was 92, died in 1999 at the age of 95. He was financially secure at the time of his death.

The Moral:

To Hell with work.
Play golf!

Thanks to Tony Moscicki for bringing back this memory.

The only way to pull off a Sunday afternoon 'quickie' with their 8-year old son in the apartment was to send him out on the balcony with a Popsicle and tell him to report on all the neighborhood activities.

He began his commentary as his parents put their plan into operation:

'There's a car being towed from the parking lot,' he shouted.

'An ambulance just drove by!'

'Looks like the Andersons have company,' he called out.

'Matt's riding a new bike!'

'Looks like the Sanders are moving!'

'Jason is on his skate board!'

After a few moments he announced, 'The Coopers are having sex!!'

Startled, his mother and dad shot up in bed!

Dad cautiously called out, 'How do you know they are having sex?'

'Jimmy Cooper is standing on his balcony with a Popsicle.'

An expectant couple go to the hospital to deliver their baby, where upon the Doctor informs them of
a new device, being tested, that will transfer some of the pain of child birth to the Father, the
couple said they would like to try it.

The doctor then said he'd set the machine at 10% pain transfer, as even this was to much for most
Dads to be, but as the labor progressed the husband said he was feeling fine, it was helping his
wife, kick it up a notch, so the doctor raised the pain transfer to 20%, the husband said he was
still doing fine, the doctor checked him and so no increase in blood pressure etc so he raised the
pain threshold to 50% and the husband continued to feel quite well.  As this was obviously helping
the new Mom, the doctor raised the treshold to 100%, the baby was born and the couple was ecstatic..
When they got home they found the mail man dead on the porch..............

The Gastroenterologists had sort of a gut feeling about it, but the Neurologists thought the Administration had a lot of nerve.

The Obstetricians felt they were all laboring under a misconception. Ophthalmologists considered the idea shortsighted. Pathologists yelled, "Over my dead body!" while the Pediatricians said, 'Oh, Grow up!'

The Psychiatrists thought the whole idea was madness, while the Radiologists could see right through it.

Surgeons decided to wash their hands of the whole thing.

The Internists thought it was a bitter pill to swallow, and the Plastic Surgeons said, "This puts a whole new face on the matter."

The Podiatrists thought it was a step forward, but the Urologists were pissed off at the whole idea.

The Anesthesiologists thought the whole idea was a gas, and the Cardiologists didn't have the heart to say no.

In the end, the Proctologists won out, leaving the entire decision up to the assholes in Washington.

GUN CONTRO

OUCH!! Here's one from Rob Ferguson.

A man wakes up in the hospital, bandaged from head to foot. The doctor comes in and says, 'Ah, I see you've regained consciousness. Now, you probably won't remember, but you were in a pile-up on the freeway. You're going to be okay, you'll walk again and everything, but..... something happened. I'm trying to break this gently, but the fact is, your willy was chopped off in the wreck and we were unable to find it.'
The man groans, but the doctor goes on, 'You've got $9000 in insurance compensation coming and we have the technology now to build you a new willy that will work as well as your old one did -better in fact! But the thing is, it doesn't come cheap. It's $1000 an inch.'

The man perks up at this. 'So,' the doctor says, 'it's for you to decide how many inches you want. But it's something you'd better discuss with your wife. I mean, if you had a five inch one before, and you decide to go for a nine incher, she might be a bit put out. But if you had a nine inch one before,and you decide only to invest in a five incher this time, she might be disappointed. So it's important that she plays a role in helping you make the decision.'

The man agrees to talk with his wife. The doctor comes back the next day. 'So,' says the doctor, 'have you spoken with your wife?'

'I have,' says the man.

'And has she helped you in making the decision?'

'Yes, she has,' says the man.

'And what is it?' asks the doctor.

'We're getting granite countertops.'

**************************************

Here's one sent in by George Villanueva.

A man had just settled into his seat next to the window on the plane when another man sat down in the aisle seat and put his black Labrador Retriever in the middle seat next to the man.

The first man looked very quizzically at the dog and asked why the dog was allowed on the plane.

The second man explained that he was from the Commonwealth Police Drug Department and that the dog was a 'sniffing dog'.

'His name is Sniffer and he's the best there is. I'll show you once we get airborne, when I put him to work.' The plane took off , and once it has levelled out, the Policeman said, 'Watch this.'

He told Sniffer to 'search'.

Sniffer jumped down, walked along the aisle, and finally sat very purposefully next to a woman for several seconds. Sniffer then returned to his seat and put one paw on the policeman's arm.

The Policeman said, 'Good boy', and he turned to the man and said, 'That woman is in possession of marijuana, I'm making a note of her seat number and the authorities will apprehend her when we land. 'Gee, that's pretty good,' replied the first man.

Once again, the Policeman sent Sniffer to search the aisles. The Lab sniffed about, sat down beside a man for a few seconds, returnedto its seat, and this time he placed two paws on the agent's arm. The Policeman said, 'That man is carrying cocaine, so again, I'm making a note of his seat number for the police.'

'I like it !' said his seat mate.

The Policeman then told Sniffer to 'search' again.

Sniffer walked up and down the aisles for a little while, sat down for amoment, and then came racing back to the agent, jumped into the middle seat and proceeded to crap all over the place.

The first man was really disgusted by this behaviour and couldn't figure out how or why a well-trained dog would behave like that, so he asked the Policeman, 'What's going on ?'

The Policeman nervously replied, 'He's just found a bomb.'

Richard Humphrey sends in this article on GUN CONTROL for our digestion.

Gun control: Actual photo of a person being shot at close range. Read below to prepare you for the actual moment. Seeing folks actually pulling the trigger on another human may not be your cup of tea. Violence can be a brutal event. We tend to sit back in our living rooms, and view the barrage of information that comes across from our media. We can easily become desensitized to the real gravity and danger of the world within which we exist. Lives may be ended or altered forever during the heat of confrontation. When I first saw this photo, my heart was instantly brought face to face with 'cold' reality.

I recently picked a new primary care doctor. After two visits and exhaustive lab tests, he said I was doing 'fairly well' for my age.

A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist asking him, 'Do you think I'll live to be 85?'

He asked, 'Do you smoke tobacco, or drink beer or wine?'
'Oh no,' I replied. 'I'm not doing drugs, either!'

Then he asked, 'Do you eat rib-eye steaks, barbecued ribs or sausage?'
I said, 'No, my former doctor said that all red meat is very unhealthy!'

'Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, boating, hiking, or bicycling?'
'No, I don't,' I said.

He asked, 'Do you gamble, drive fast cars, ride a Harley, or have a lot of sex?'
'No,' I said.

He looked at me and said, 'Then, why do you even give a shit?

General Giap published his memoirs and confirmed what most Americans knew

TROOPERS CORNER - SOUND OFF!!

---

I received this up in Michigan just before we left for Florida. Mr. Eversman and his group did a wonderful job honoring one of our Troopers, Joseph Gill and we thank him and all involved in this project for thier hard work for such a worthy cause. BB.

A glorious day on Saturday, October 18th, in Oregon, OH saw approximately 900 persons turn out to honor the Veterans who served in the Vietnam War and remember our community's fallen servicemen. One was Joseph G. Gill, Troop B 1/4 Cav who was KIA 5May68.

Representing the Quarterhorse Veterans was Kerry Schoolik of Orlando, Florida who was a tank commander on the tank next to Joe Gill's in the battle where Gill died. We were also joined by James Wood, originally a neighbor and childhood friend of Joe Gill's in Oregon, OH, from his present home in South Carolina. Specialist Five Wood was a Huey gunship crew chief and saw Joe at Di An on 3May68 and spent time with his old friend the night before, too. Wood remembered being called into action on 6May68 in the area where the battle of 5May had taken place.

You can view over 700 photos of our memorial ceremony and the motorcycle honor ride (over 300 bikes) that preceeded the dedication at the following web sites:

http://pollock.smugmug.com/Events/633936

www.oregonvietnammemorial.com

In the days prior to this ceremony, we located Lt. Clyde Griffin, who was Spec 4 Gill's platoon commander. Lt. Griffin, who retired from the Army as a Lt. Colonel, lives in Bakersfiled, CA. He reported that Joe Gill was put in for a Silver Star that day and so deserved that medal but someone in the rear thought differently. Lt. Griffin still holds fast today, on his opinion of Joe's valorous actions, 40 years ago.

Thanks to George Villanueva for this great insight on how the stock market works. BB.

Economics 101 This is better than my college course in Economics.

Once upon a time, in a village, a man appeared and announced to the villagers that he would buy monkeys for $10 each.

The villagers seeing that there were many monkeys around, went out to the forest, and started catching them. The man bought thousands at $10 and as supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped their effort. He further announced that he would now buy at $20. This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching monkeys again.

Soon the supply diminished even further and people started going back to their farms. The offer increased to $25 each and the supply of monkeys became so little that it was an effort to even see a monkey, let alone catch it! The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at $50 ! However, since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would now buy on behalf of him.

In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers. "Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has collected. I will sell them to you at $35 and when the man returns from the city, you can sell them to him for $50 each." The villagers rounded up with all their savings and bought all the monkeys. Then they never saw the man nor his assistant, only monkeys everywhere!

Now you have a better understanding of how the stock market works.

Hiding the Lockheed plant during WWII

Lockheed During WW II (unbelievable 1940s pictures) This is pretty neat--special effects during the 1940's: I have never seen these pictures or knew that we had gone this far to protect us. During World War II the Army Corps of Engineers needed to hide the Lockheed Burbank Aircraft Plant to protect it from Japanese air attack. They covered it with camouflage netting to make it look like a rural subdivision from the air. (Besides everything else, check out the cars.)

Those of us that served in the Vietnam Conflict kow this all too well. The US Military could have won and ended the Vietnam War in a mere matter of months – We were not allowed to win! Sanctuaries; Stand Downs; Protest; Politicians! – Politicians – Politicians!

As commander of the 510th tactical Fighter Squadron, Bien Hoa Air Base, Republic of Vietnam, the most frustrating and depressing aspect my 28 “Fighter Jocks” faced daily was not being allowed to “Fight to the Fullest”!! This has occurred far to many times since WWII!! It is clearly time for Change! We face, today, an Enemy that is 100% dedicated to the destruction of this great Nation and our Way of Life!

Stand up Americans, we cannot allow the Islamic Terrorists to Prevail!

Support our Military Leaders and Men and Women of all the Services! We must win over there or face the radicals on our own soil!

General Giap was a brilliant, highly respected leader of the North Vietnam military. The following quote is from his memoirs currently found in the Vietnam War Memorial in Hanoi:

“What we still don’t understand is why the Americans stopped the bombing of Hanoi. They had us on the ropes. If they had pressed us a little harder, just for another day or two, we were ready to surrender! It was the same at the battle of TET. They defeated us! We knew it, and we thought they knew it.

But we were elated to notice their media was definitely helping us. They were causing more disruption in America than we could on the battlefields. We were ready to surrender. They had won!”

General Giap published his memoirs and confirmed what most Americans knew. The Vietnam War was not lost inVietnam – it was lost at home. The exact same slippery slope, sponsored by the US media, is currently well underway. It exposes the enormous power of a biased Media to cut out the heart and will of the American Public.

A truism worthy of note:….

Do not fear the enemy, for they can take only your life. Fear the Media far more, for they will destroy your honor.

Wear of the Army Uniform by Reserve, Retired, Separated, and Civilian Personnel

Chapter 30

Wear of the Army Uniform by Reserve, Retired, Separated, and Civilian Personnel

30–1. Occasions of ceremony

a. As used in this regulation, the phrase “occasions of ceremony” means occasions essentially of a military character, at which the uniform is more appropriate than civilian clothing. These functions include, but are not limited to: military balls, military parades, weddings, and military funerals; memorial services, meetings and conferences; or functions of associations formed for military purposes, of which the membership is composed largely or entirely of current or honorably discharged veterans of the Armed Forces or reserve components. Authority to wear the uniform includes wear while traveling to and from the ceremony or function, provided the travel in uniform can be completed on the day of the ceremony or function.

b. All persons wearing the Army uniform will wear awards, decorations, and insignia in the same manner as prescribed in this regulation for active duty soldiers. For civilian attire, individuals may wear only those awards, decorations, or insignia authorized by this regulation for wear on civilian clothing, in the same manner and approximate location as the equivalent military uniform.

30–4. Wear of the uniform by former members of the Army

a. Unless qualified under another provision of this regulation, or under the provisions of section 772, title 10, AR 670–1 • 3 February 2005 315 States Code (10 USC 772), former members of the Army may wear the uniform if they served honorably during a declared or undeclared war, and if their most recent service was terminated under honorable conditions. Personnel who qualify under these conditions will wear the Army uniform in the highest grade they held during such war service, in accordance with 10 USC 772.

b. The uniform is authorized for wear only for the following ceremonial occasions, and when traveling to and from the ceremony or function. Uniforms for these occasions are restricted to service and dress uniforms; the BDU and physical fitness uniforms will not be worn.

(1) When attending military funerals, memorial services, weddings, inaugurals, and other occasions of ceremony.
(2) When attending parades on national or state holidays, or other patriotic parades or ceremonies in which any active or reserve United States military unit is taking part. Wear of the Army uniform at any other time, or for any other purpose than stated above, is prohibited.

Has anybody noticed Wayne Paddack growing serious here as of Late. He just turned 71!! Congratulations and Happy Birthday Wayne. BB

And though, sometime, to his neighbors, his tales became a joke...

All his Legion buddies listened, for they knew whereof he spoke..

But, we'll hear his tales no longer, for old Bill has passed away...

And the world is a little poorer....for a soldier died today...

He will not be mourned by many, just his children and his wife..

For he lived an ordinary and quite, uneventful life...

Held a job and raised a family, quitely going his own way....And the

world won't note his passing, though a soldier died today....

When politicians leave this earth, their bodies lie in-state...while

thousands note their passing, and proclaim that they were great...

Papers tell of their life stories from the time they were young...

But, the passing of a Soldier goes unnoticed and unsung...

Is the contribution to the welfare of our land, a guy who breaks his

promises and cons his fellow man....

Or the ordinary fellow, who in times of war and stife, goes off to serve his

country...and offers up his life...

A politicians stippened, and the style in which he lives, are sometimes

disproportionate to the service that he gives....while the ordinary Soldier

who offered up his all, is paid off with a medal..and perhaps a pention small..

It's so easy to forget them, for it was so long ago, that our bills of our country

went to battle, but we know

It is not the politicians with their compromise and ploys, who won for us the

freedom, that our country now enjoys

Should you find yourself in danger with your enemies at hand, would you want a

politician with his ever shifting stand...or would you prefer a Soldier, who is sworn

to defend his home, his Kin and his country...and would fight until the end...

He was just a common soldier and his ranks are growing thin...But his presence

should remind us that we need his like again...For when countries are in conflict,

then we find the soldier's part is to clean up all the troubles, that the politicians start..

If we cannot do him honor while he is here to hear the praise...then at least let's give him

homage, at the ending of his days...perhaps just a simple headline in a paper that would say...

"Our country is in mourning", for a Soldier died today

Protecting your freedom! DO NOT DELETE-PLS PASS ON -Message from Iraq The proud warriors of Baker Company wanted to do something to pay tribute to our fallen comrades. So since we are part of the only Marine Infantry Battalion left in Iraq the one way that we could think of doing that is by taking a picture of Baker Company saying the way we feel. It would be awesome if you could find a way to share this with our fellow countrymen. I was wondering if there was any way to get this into your papers to let the world know that 'WE HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN' and are proud to serve our country.' Semper Fi 1stSgt Dave Jobe The attached photo was forwarded from one of the last U.S. Marine companies in Iraq They would like to have it passed to as many people as possible, to let the folks back home know that they remember why they're there and that they remember those who've been lost.
