Two British traffic patrol officers from North Berwick were involved in an unusual incident while checking for speeding motorists on the A-1 Great North Road. One of the officers used a hand-held radar device to check the speed of a vehicle approaching over the crest of a hill, and was surprised when the speed was recorded at over 300 mph. Their radar suddenly stopped working and the officers were not able to reset it.

Just then a deafening roar over the treetops revealed that the radar had in fact locked on to a Royal Air Force Tornado fighter jet which was engaged in a low-flying exercise over the Border district, approaching from the North Sea.

Back at police headquarters the chief constable fired off a stiff complaint to the RAF Liaison office.

Back came the reply in true laconic RAF style:

"Thank you for your message, which allows us to complete the file on this incident. You may be interested to know that the tactical computer in the Tornado had detected the presence of, and subsequently locked onto, your hostile radar equipment and automatically sent a jamming signal back to it. Furthermore, an air-to-ground missile aboard the fully-armed aircraft had also automatically locked onto your equipment.

Fortunately the pilot flying the Tornado recognized the situation for what it was, quickly responded to the missile systems alert status, and was able to override the automated defence system before the missile was launched and your hostile radar installation was destroyed. Good Day..."

A tough old cowboy once counseled his grandson that if he
wanted to live a long life, the secret was to sprinkle
a little gunpowder on his oatmeal every morning.

The grandson did this religiously and he lived to the age
of 93.

When he died, he left 14 children, 28 grandchildren,
35 great grandchildren and
a fifteen foot hole in the wall of the crematorium.

News from North Dakota....

THINK ABOUT THIS FOR A MOMENT

North Dakota News

This text is from a county emergency manager out in the western part of North Dakota state after the recent snow storm.

WEATHER BULLETIN

Up here in the Northern Plains we just recovered from a Historic event --- may I even say a "Weather Event" of "Biblical Proportions" --- with a historic blizzard of up to 44" inches of snow and winds to 90 MPH that broke trees in half, knocked down utility poles, stranded hundreds of motorists in lethal snow banks, closed ALL roads, isolated scores of communities and cut power to 10's of thousands.

FYI:

George Bush did not come....

FEMA did nothing....

No one howled for the government...

No one blamed the government

No one even uttered an expletive on TV...

Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton did not visit

Our Mayor's did not blame Bush or anyone else

Our Governor did not blame Bush or anyone else either

CNN, ABC, CBS, FOX, or NBC did not visit - or report on this category 5 snow storm

Nobody demanded $2,000 debit cards.....

No one asked for a FEMA Trailer House....

No one looted...

Nobody - I mean Nobody demanded the government do something

Nobody expected the government to do anything either

No Larry King, No Bill O'Rielly, No Oprah, No Chris Mathews and No Geraldo Rivera

No Shaun Penn, No Barbara Striesand, NoHollywood types to be found

And

Nope, we just melted the snow for water

Sent out caravans of SUV's to pluck people out of snow engulfed cars

The truck drivers pulled people out of snow banks and didn't ask for a penny

Local restaurants made food and the police and fire departments delivered it to the snow bound families

Families took in the stranded people - total strangers

We Fired up wood stoves

Broke out coal oil lanterns or Coleman lanterns

We put on an extra layers of clothes because up here it is "Work or Die"

We did not wait for some affirmative action government to get us out of a mess created by being immobilized by a welfare program that trades votes for 'sittin at home' checks.

Even though a Category "5" blizzard of this scale has never fallen this early...we know it can happen and how to deal with it ourselves.

"In my many travels, I have noticed that once one gets north of about 48 degrees North Latitude, 90% most of the world's social problems evaporate."

It does seem that way, at least to me.. I hope this gets passed on.. Maybe,, SOME people will get the message,, The world Does not owe you a living....

I love it

Yea!!! for the author of this!!!

thinking of you & Sarah as she job searches.

If Bud Abbott and Lou Costello w ere alive today, their infamous sketch,
"Who's on First?" might have turned out something like this:

COSTELLO CALLS TO BUY A COMPUTER FROM ABBOTT


ABBOTT: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you?

COSTELLO: Thanks. I'm setting up an office in my den and I'm thinking about
buying a computer.

ABBOTT: Mac?

COSTELLO: No, the name's Lou.

ABBOTT: Your computer?

COSTELLO: I don't own a computer. I want to buy one.

ABBOTT: Mac?

COSTELLO: I told you, my name's Lou.

ABBOTT: What about Windows?

COSTELLO: Why? Will it get stuffy in here?

COSTELLO: I don't know. What will I see when I look at the windows?

ABBOTT: Wallpaper.

COSTELLO: Never mind the windows. I need a computer and software.

COSTELLO: Isn't it illegal to copy money?

ABBOTT: Microsoft gave us a license to copy Money.

COSTELLO: They can give you a license to copy money?

ABBOTT: Why not? THEY OWN IT!

(A few days later)

ABBOTT: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you?

COSTELLO: How do I turn my computer off?

ABBOTT: Click on "START".............

Oh and congrat Sarah for me.

Morning Class...

Give One Up For The Blonde

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Diary,

Last year I replaced all the windows in my house with those expensive double pane energy efficient kind. But this week I got a call from the contractor who installed them. He was complaining that the work had been completed a whole year ago and I hadn't paid for them.

Hellloooo??!

Now just because I'm a blonde doesn't mean that I am automatically stupid.
So, I told him just what his fast talking sales guy had told ME last year. ..namely, that in just ONE YEAR these windows would pay for themselves!

Helllooooo??

It's been a year! (I told him)
There was only silence at the other end of the line, so I finally just hung up....
He didn't call back.

Guess I won that stupid argument!

Hope to see you soon! :)

On today's episode...

KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP) -- Roger Clemens' son took dad deep on the Rocket's first pitch of spring training, crushing a trademark fastball over the left-field fence Monday.

"That was probably one of the harder fastballs I cut loose," Roger Clemens said after throwing to Koby and other Houston Astros minor-leaguers. "He got my attention."

Then the Rocket got Koby's. The next time his oldest son came to the plate, Roger buzzed him high and tight with another fastball. The younger Clemens dodged the pitch, then smiled at his father.

"He was like, 'Sorry about that pitch inside. I was trying to change the view of the ball for you a little bit,"' said Koby, a third baseman who was drafted by Houston last summer. "I said, 'I knew what you were doing."'

Clemens, 43, got applause from about 100 fans as he walked to the mound behind the Astros' minor-league complex. He threw 18 pitches from behind a screen before his 19-year-old son's homer on his first pitch after the screen was moved away.

"I'm getting old," Clemens said. "It happens."

I love you!!!

brillant thoughts keefe! maybe we should move all the liberals above 48 degrees

Why? They can't even match room temperature?

absolutely!

did you know nathan has been logging on just about every morning from 5:30-6 something? i even msg'd him - IGNORED.

kinda felt like the Tech basketball players after playing Texas...

i guess he checks to see if sarah is on. hey, we could quit using our blogs and just talk here. at least his blog would get some action. ya know what, if we keep this up they may lose their sense of humor and fuss at us.

WOULD they fuss like an old married couple???
Nah...surely not.
Wonder if Nathan would throw a chair like Bobby Knight?

i don't think anyone is like bobby knight, but bobby knight.

maybe...

Nathan and Sarah sitting on the phone
wondering if the "hecklers" would leave them alone
first lean back
then lean forward
now you are getting your just reward

lol...what would happen if all phone systems (landline, cell, & even bb included) went down?

keefe, you're a poet! they will have to let you write something for the wedding ceremony.

monk, it is their wedding, not mine...they decide what they want and I will play the part of "happy for them"

BUSTED!
Nathan...you were on a couple of minutes ago...not even a Hi.

he is oof the hook with me, i rec'd an email.

still gonna tease you cuz your my brother from a different mother

and teasing I deserve...

bro...you deserve the teasing...anyone one who goes around saying "get your guns up" deserves the punishment he receives...even this Aggie knows...guns are meant to be pointed outward, not upward.

i'm so glad that sarah was able to surprise you! she loves you.

Yea, Sarah!!! You pulled it off. :)

What a wonderful Valentine you received! So glad you didn't find out until she actually arrived!!Have fun!!

i know it comforted you to have her visit. i'm glad that she was able to make the trip. she is missed greatly in louavul by so many people who love her.

Suprised ehh?

Breathe Nathan....breathe.

hope today finds Sarah feeling much better.

sarah's better. she'll probably stay home from work tomorrow. a friend told me today, that she heard that women were suffering seizures from the medication that made sarah sick. she is finished with that stuff.

nathan is very attentive to sarah. his calls comfort her. i'm glad that she will get to see him this week-end--Lord willing.

are you ignoring keefe? sarah is coming!

did you know sarah and donna halbrook are going to be on the same flight?

up early???

she there yet?

continental should pay me for the commercial!

wow! big jet! i bet the plane she takes from houston to lubbock is a puddle-jumper.

Monk, I'm afraid she may have lost her way if she flew over mountains like these. :) Nathan left us a message that's he's on his way to the airport.

i hoped that nobody would notice the mountains!

she made it!

You are tagged.

why did you tag him??? i really think you should fail history for this due your lack of learning about his hidtory of absolute refusal to share ... and nathan...before you get your hackles up by saying you do not have time...answer me this...how long into a phone conversation before your ear, arm, hand or PHONE goes numb?
Back to your regularly scheduled ignoring.

HA!

I'm trying...................................I'm still trying................

IDEA: give Sarah your password (like she doesn't already know :) ) and let her post for you.

Thought: wonder how long it takes him to take an exam @ ttU...have they taught you to write yet???

Be nice... :)

yes ma'am. i'm sorry........

by the time you get back up here in march-your pickles will be gone.

someone say pickles?
