The Jokes thread

Put your latest jokes in here - after all we are always looking to have fun, no ?

Here is the latest I got through email:

President George Bush is visiting an elementary school today and he visits one of the classes.
They are in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings.
The teacher asks the President if he would like to lead the class in the discussion of the word, "tragedy."
So the illustrious leader asks the class for an example of a "tragedy." One little boy stands up and offers, "If my best friend, who lives next door, is playing in the street and a car comes along and runs him over, that would be a tragedy." "No," says Bush, "that would be an ACCIDENT."
A little girl raises her hand: "If a school bus carrying 50 children drove off a cliff, killing everyone involved, that would be a tragedy." "I'm afraid not," explains Mr. President. "That's what we would call a GREAT LOSS."
The room goes silent. No other children volunteer. President Bush searches the room. "Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?" Finally, way in the back of the room, a small boy raises his hand. In a quiet voice he says, "If Air Force One, carrying Mr. & Mrs. Bush, were struck by a missile and blown up to smithereens, by a terrorist like Osama bin Laden, that would be a tragedy."
"Fantastic," exclaims Bush, "that's right. And can you tell me WHY that would be a TRAGEDY?"

"Well," says the boy, "because it wouldn't be an accident, and it certainly
wouldn't be a great loss."

But yeah, Bush isn't actually as wrong as you all think.

This coming from an Intel Analyst with a Top Secret clearance.

I see the humour, but then, being Brit I'm a bit removed from everything. However, even an "innocent civilian" like me has to wonder what the media isn't saying. Compare the news in Britain with the news in the US sometime, the differences are quite interesting and this without the Top Secret clearance :wink: ...

BOOOO TEXAS!!

Yeah, stuck in Texas where you can see the beautiful....emptiness...for miles. There's nothing here. Flat shrimpy little trees and brown grass. We've done PT on the biggest hill on the base, and it's a little mound maybe 6 feet high. I walked out of the plane from Milwaukee to Dallas, and it seemed every dangnabbit person had a cowboy hat on.

Alright, enough ripping on Texas. I'm 2 weeks through my 5-month....vacation....here.

The Libyans have been elected to the Chair of the U.N.'s Human Rights Commission!

Oh, wait they weren't joking. Libya, where they take you out and execute you before the trial, then have a mock trial on your behalf? Libya who encouraged, sheltered, and paid the terrorist who blew up the flight over Lockerbie, Scottland?
Ummm at the risk of being :flamer: I will say that Libya has improved considerably over the last few years. Gaddaffi has his own problems with Extremists and is looking to the West for help which means he has had to start reforming things. Unfortunately much like with Iran, the US is not prepared to do anything...

Iran has stopped a veritable flood of cheap herion reaching Europe and the US from Afghanistan at the cost of many lives. The only country who has helped them has been Australia with Federal Polic officers training Iranian Police and risking death in the process...

For their trouble they are labelled an "Evil" country...

To my mind the greatest terrorist act in modern history is still the fire-bombing of Dresden in WW2. Good things the Germans don't hold a grudge eh...
