Ow. Now that IS a nightmare!

I doubt that Jackson will be found guilty. I don't think the prosecution will be able to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt once the defense lawyers get into the game. Unfortunately, although we have the fairest justice system in the world, …

Yet another forward-thinking approach to the criminal element by Washington - forces the bad guys to at least be more courteous. x;-)

Remember George Carlin's prank? Attach two white canes to the front bumper of your car, put on a pair of sunglasses and drive down the street very slowly?

Pesky spell-check! And word characterizations do change from time to time. Anyone remember when Alexander Haig gave a speech in the 80s and turned the word "impact" into a verb? Suddenly it became popular to talk about how something "impacted" th…

Now, that would be interesting - a Canadian speaking with a Southern drawl? How weird! x;-)

Oh, I'm sure Bush'd do fine. After all, he invented one of my favorite new words in the English language - "strategery." x;-)

Great. Now I've got this visual of Edward Kennedy saying "indubitably" that I can't get out of my head. #-o

Boy, I'd love to hear that sentence out loud with a Boston accent! x;-)

...and while we're at it, when did "ill" become synonymous with angry or mad? My friend in Alabama told me she was ill one day and I asked her if she was running a fever. She looked at me like I had two heads and just rolled her eyes! And it's no…

An intelligent guy from the middle of nowhere in the South gets accepted to Yale. His first day of classes he's crossing the commons and asks the first guy he sees, "Hey, can y'all tell me where the library is at?" The Yalie looks disdainfully a…

No, "tango-uniform" describes a condition of a person or thing. For example, if your Humvee breaks down beyond repair you radio in with your call sign and report that your ride is "tango uniform" so they will come and get you. Fubar works in this …

No, Ray. Sarge is better looking than Don. x;-)

I always went for the ice cream because all they ever had was that yellow cake with the white frosting. To this day I can't stand the sight of it. That, and peach pie. I think they bought those by the gross.

>(okay, okay, that's hollywood talking & not the >experience of Air Force folks - as we never did >push-ups.) Very true. And on those rare occasions when the TI thought you might have transgressed a bit and not complied with regula…

Okay, okay, sorry, Sarge! x;-)

FIIGMO is an acronym normally uttered, proudly and gladly, by someone who is a few days away from getting discharged from the service or is being transferred to another duty station. Usually it is a response to a request to do something, like work.…

Rad, put away those matches! x;-)

Too late, HS. The thrill is gone. The moment has passed. The ship has sailed. That dog don't hunt. Opportunity knocked and you were out back taking out the garbage. x;-)

Geez, I go out of town for a couple of days and Ray, HS, et. al. start engaging in character assassination against Yours Truly and RAD. Not sure what I think about this. By the way, HS, New Jersey was a little on the nippy side the last couple d…

S'ok, rad... I was thinking along the same lines, however, at least I had a rational explanation to back up my answer. Don't let these "inside the box" thinkers stifle your creative bent. x;-)
-
I never follow directions. Always had trouble drawing inside the lines when I was a kid, too. Besides, I didn't have a clue and rad's answer gave me inspiration. x;-)

I agree with rad, but my take's a little different. The man was the funeral director and she killed her sister to have him arrange another funeral so she could see him again.

These are priceless, HRQ! Thanks for actually giving me something to laugh about today! You made my day! x:-)
