See You in the Funny Papers!

[Tim Brooks]

The Bar and Grill is the perfect place to start a thread about jokes, humor, and anything that makes you smile! I got this from Annettes post of the Police video (See the thread in this section on Preachin' the Word!).

So to start things off a joke that we published in the very first issue of the Frag! Newsletter:

A Captain walks into the Officer’s Club at Fort Bragg and orders a shot of whiskey. He drinks it down in one gulp and shouts, “All Generals are idiots!” A man in civies, setting at the end of the bar, looks over at the Captain and gives him a dirty look. The Captain ignores the man and orders another shot. When it arrives, he drinks it down and shouts, “All Generals are idiots!” The man in civilian clothes jumps up, runs over and grabs the Captain by the throat. In an angered whisper he says, “If I hear you say that again I’ll beat you to within an inch of your life!” The Captain, taken aback, asks, “Who are you, A General?” The man in civies replies, “No. I’m an idiot.”

Keep smiling!

But Tim, let's not get carried away...

With all the news on TV in the past year about the extreme weather conditions affecting our world - the tsunami in Asia and East Africa, the mudslides in the US, Middle East and South America, the hurricanes on the East Coast last summer, the flood that made it's mark on Southern England - along with the dire predictions made by such films as The Day After Tomorrow, we shouldn't forget those less fortunate than ourselves. Even Sweden has its share of devastating weather.

I've attached a photo illustrating the severe damage caused to my friend's home from a storm that passed through the south of Sweden last week. He sent me a note saying, "It really makes you cherish what you have, and reminds us not to take things for granted!" (Please click on "Attachment" in red at the top of this post to view the photo).

Sometimes devastating storms like that hits Sweden Anette, much worse than those you have in US

Must be! It's no wonder your taxes are so high - it must be quite costly to clean up the damage!

Yes indeed One of the highest taxes in the world Ah well at least we can afford such chairs as that one

Now THAT made me laugh out loud!
