"Counter Measures"
via Bruce

As we all know, the Taliban & Al Qaeda consider it a sin for a man to see a naked woman who is not his wife and, certainly, for a woman to show herself naked to a man other than her husband.

So, this Saturday at 2:00 PM (each time zone) all American women are asked to walk out of their houses completely naked to help weed out any neighborhood terrorists. Circling your block for at least one hour (weather permitting) is recommended for this urgent anti-terrorist effort.

All American men are to position themselves in lawn chairs in front of their houses to prove they are not Taliban or Al Qaeda, demonstrating that they think it's okay to see nude women other than their wives and to show their support for all American women in this patriotic effort.

And since the Taliban & Al Qaeda also do not approve of alcohol, a cold six-pack (or 2) at your side is further proof of your anti-Taliban/anti-terrorist sentiment. Force yourself, as a patriot, to drink at least a little. It would also be very supportive if the men would have some refreshments to offer the women as they walk past, especially if the weather is very cold or very warm.

America appreciates your efforts to root out terrorists and applauds your participation in this anti-terrorist activity. (Duct tape optional!)

God Bless America!

"One Wish"
via Stalley

A man walking along a California beach was deep in prayer. All of a sudden he said out loud, "Lord grant me one wish."

Suddenly the sky clouded above his head and in a booming voice the Lord said, "Because you have been faithful to me in all ways, I will grant you one wish".

The man said, "Build a bridge to Hawaii, so I can drive over anytime I want to."

The Lord said, "Your request is extremely materialistic. Think of the logistics of that kind of undertaking. The supports required to reach the bottom of the Pacific! The concrete and steel it would take! I can do it, but it is hard for me to justify your desire for worldly things. Take a little more time and think of another wish, a wish you think would honor and glorify me."

The man thought about it for a long time. Finally he said, "Lord, I have been married and divorced four times. All of my wives said that I am uncaring and insensitive. I wish that I could understand women. I want to know how they feel inside, what they are thinking when they give me the silent treatment, why they cry, what they mean when they say "nothing", and how I can make a woman truly happy."

After a few minutes God said, "You want two lanes or four on that bridge?"
