Recent terrorist threats have caused the English to raise their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved." Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross." The English have not been "A Bit Cross" since the Blitz in 1940 when tea supplies all but ran out. Terrorists have been re-categorised from "Tiresome" to a "Bloody Nuisance." The last time the English issued a "Bloody Nuisance" warning level was in 1588 when threatened by the Spanish Armada, when Mother Nature saved them.
The Scottish raised their threat level from "Pissed Off" to "Let's get the Bastards". They don't have any other levels right now, and aren't likely to have any more in the future. This is the reason they have been used on the front line of the British army for the last 300 years. The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from "Run" to "Hide". The only two higher levels in France are "Collaborate" and "Surrender". The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France 's white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the country's military capability. It's not only the French who are on a heightened level of alert. Italy has increased the alert level from "Shout and Hoot Loudly and Excitedly" to "Elaborate Military Posturing with Fancy Mustaches". Two more levels remain: "Ineffective Combat Operations" and "Change Sides in the Middle of the Conflict". The Germans also increased their alert state from "Disdainful Arrogance" to "Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs for the Sake of Nationalism". They have three higher levels: "Invade a Neighbor", "Elect Man with Fancy Facial Hair", and "Für das Vaterland!!!!!" The Belgians and folks of the Netherlands, on the other hand, are all on holiday-as usual-- and the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels and the levees failing, respectively. Their terror alert system anyway is based around the level of chocolate production, coupled with the status of the grain production from their windmill states. The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy to combat the terrorist and Somali pirate threat simultaneously. These beautifully designed craft have glass bottoms. This way the new Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy. Americans meanwhile-and as usual-- are carrying out pre-emptive strikes on all of their allies, mocking anyone who doesn't support them, and passing around bare-faced lies and threats, just in case. MEANWHILE IN THE PACIFIC... New Zealand has raised its security levels from "Bah" to "BAH!!". Due to continuing defence cutbacks (the air force being a squadron of spotty teenagers flying paper aeroplanes and the navy some toy boats in the Prime Minister's bath, constructed from Kleenex boxes, tape, and rubber), they've only got one more level of escalation, which is: "Hopefully Australia Will Come and Save Us". Australia has as a result raised its security level from "No Worries, Mate" to "She'll Be All Right, Mate". Three more escalation levels remain: "Crikey, Mate!', "I Think We'll Need to Cancel the Barbie This Weekend, Mate", and "Barbie's Cancelled". So far no situation has ever warranted use of Australia's final escalation level. Should one arise, god help us all. |

Those wouldn't happen to be the same missiles that they tried to fire into Israel recently. Unfortunately they were a little inaccurate with the aiming, or the weapon itself was, and it flew into Jordan. That's what I call pretty bad aiming if you miss the country you're aiming and hit the wrong one.

Cleaning the Outhouse
Ma and Pa were two hillbillies living on a hardscrabble West Virginia farm way back up in the hills. One day Pa notices that the hole under their outhouse is full so he goes into the house and tells Ma that he doesn't know what to do to empty the hole. Ma says, "Why don't you go ask the young'n down the road? He must be smart 'cause he's a college gradjyate." So Pa drives down to the neighbor's house and asks him, "Mr. College gradjyate, my outhouse hole is full and I don't know what to do to empty it." The young'n tells him, "Get yourself two sticks of dynamite, one with a short fuse and one with a long fuse. Put them both under the outhouse and light them both at the same time. The first one will go off and shoot the outhouse n the air. While it's in the air the second one will then go off and spread the poop all across your farm, fertilizing your ground. The outhouse should then come back down to the same spot atop the now-empty hole..." Well Pa thanks the neighbor then drives to the hardware store and picks up two sticks of dynamite, one with a short fuse and one with a long fuse as instructed. He goes home and puts them under the outhouse, then lights them and quickly takes cover behind a nearby tree. All of a sudden Ma bursts out of the house and runs straight into the outhouse before Pa can warn her! Seconds later BOOM!, off goes the first stick of dynamite, shooting the outhouse into the air. Then WHAM!, off goes the second stick of dynamite ... spreading poop all over the farm. The outhouse comes crashing back down atop the hole..... Horrified Pa races to the outhouse, throws open the door and asks, "Great Horny Toads, Ma, are you all right??!!" Ma smiles as she pulls up her panties and says... "Yeah, but I'm sure glad I didn't let that fart out in the kitchen!".

What is the difference between Catholic Priests and Pimples?
Pimples wait until you are a teenager before coming out over your face.
