Three women were being held in a foreign country. They were slated for the firing squad.

The commander yells, "Ready...Aim..." and the brunette yells "Earthquake!!!"

Immediately the soldiers fall to the ground and in the confusion the brunette escapes.

The commander then tells his soldiers to get up. "Ready...Aim..." and the redhead yells "Tornado!!!"

Business Rules to Live By
::: posted by Spook at 8:06 AM | :::
If you can't get your work done in the first 24 hours, work nights.
A pat on the back is only a few centimeters from a kick in the butt.
Don't be irreplaceable, if you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.
It doesn't matter what you do, it only matters what you say you've done and what you're going to do.
After any salary raise, you will have less money at the end of the month than you did before.
The more crap you put up with, the more crap you are going to get.
You can go anywhere you want if you look serious and carry a clipboard.

Eat one live toad the first thing in the morning and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day.
When the bosses talk about improving productivity, they are never talking about themselves.
If at first you don't succeed, try again. Then quit. No use being a damn fool about it.
There will always be beer cans rolling on the floor of your car when the boss asks for a ride home from the office.
Keep your boss's boss off your boss's back.
Everything can be filed under "miscellaneous."
Never delay the ending of a meeting or the beginning of a cocktail hour.

To err is human, to forgive is not our policy.
Anyone can do any amount of work provided it isn't the work he/she is supposed to be doing.
Important letters that contain no errors will develop errors in the mail.
If you are good, you will be assigned all the work. If you are really good, you will get out of it.
You are always doing something marginal when the boss drops by your desk.
People who go to conferences are the ones who shouldn't.
If it wasn't for the last minute, nothing would get done.

At work, the authority of a person is inversely proportional to the number of pens that person is carrying.
When you don't know what to do, walk fast and look worried.
Following the rules will not get the job done.
Getting the job done is no excuse for not following the rules.
When confronted by a difficult problem you can solve it more easily by reducing it to the question, "How would the Lone Ranger handle this?"
No matter how much you do, you never do enough.
The last person that quit or was fired will be held responsible for everything that goes wrong.

After a heavy nite of drinking, Nick arouses from his passed-out state, looking rather green. On the verge of puking he turns to me and says,

"Gimme something."

So, because I was drunk and didn't make the connection that he wanted something to puke in, and maybe subconsciously I needed a little comedy, I handed him my cell phone.

Hey, it's something.

Quiz: Unveil Yourself [Link] My answer:

Personality
You are the BOSS who governs the city of the darkness.
Since the boss has a charismatic personality and being born to be a boss, he/she naturaly has a large following. The boss wouldn't show his/her mercy for an act of a betrayal. Mercilessness is sometimes needed to live in the city of the darkness.

However the boss has a generosity to accept the one as a member of his/her family if the one would pledge his/her loyalty.

The boss decieve people only for the sake of his/her plan. Even though the boss always hope to have peace among the bosses, there always bring on a war because of his/her selfishness.
Sometimes the boss becomes sentimental, thinking about the evil deed he/she has done. Though the boss lapses into such dilemma, he/she can maintain the strongest seat.
The boss becomes weak when his/her followers aren't present.It is thoe boss's followers who makes him/her feel strong.So don't underestimate them. They might betray the boss some day.
The boss is sincere about love and he/she always love one person with all his/her heart ,so the boss might not have lovers .

LinkfestAll about smoking:

Remember, smoking doesn’t kill people. People who are trying to quit smoking kill people.

One poll says 73% of Americans favor raising the cigarette tax. It's only fair. Since smokers aren't around as long as the rest of us, they should pay more while they're here.

I quit smoking once for six days. And then they untied me.

Trying to quit smoking can drive you nuts -- especially when you try to light your nicotine gum.

Marlboro has a line of outdoor gear for smokers. They recommend you buy it a size larger so paramedics don’t have to cut it off of you.

The Marlboro clothing is very functional. The denim jacket has electric heart paddles sewn right into the lining, and there’s a backpack that can hold a portable respirator.

I stopped smoking and extended my life expectancy. My wife is furious.

JOKE: Football FINALLY makes sense..........

A guy took his blonde girlfriend to her first football game. They had great seats right behind their team's bench. After the game, he asked her how she liked the experience.

"Oh, I really liked it," she replied, "especially the tight pants and all the big muscles, but I just couldn't understand why they were killing each other over 25 cents."

Dumbfounded, her date asked, "What do you mean?"

"Well, they flipped a coin, one team got it and then for the rest of the game, all they kept screaming was: 'Get the quarterback! Get the quarterback!' I'm like...Helloooooo? It's only 25 cents!!!!

Stewie from Family Guy!Joke: "Beautiful Revenge"

A married couple was in a terrible accident where the man's face was severely burned. The doctor told the husband that they couldn't graft any skin from his body because he was too skinny. So the wife offered to donate some of her own skin. However, the only skin on her body that the doctor felt was suitable would have to come from her buttocks. The husband and wife agreed that they would tell no one about where the skin came from, and they requested that the doctor also honor their secret.

After all, this was a very delicate matter.

After the surgery was completed, everyone was astounded at the man's new face. He looked more handsome than he ever had before! All his friends and relatives just went on and on about his youthful beauty! One day, he was alone with his wife, and he was overcome with emotion at her sacrifice. He said,"Dear, I just want to thank you for everything you did for me. How can I possibly repay you?"

"My darling," she replied, "I get all the thanks I need every time I see your mother kiss you on the cheeks".

Good morning from Dave!
This is me before my first cup of tea.


Mmm.. breakfast.
Making myself a coffee at work one morning, one of my fellow coworkers tells me he had a big breakfast, the best he's had in a while. He tells me he had two helping of eggs, a couple poached eggs and a couple sunny side up, two slices of rye toast, an orange, a cup of coffee and six or seven patty-style sausages. "Nice," was all I told him. "Still," he says, "I could have eaten more, but I already had to leave for work." "I could have eaten more as well, I had blueberry french toast, bacon and a cold glass of milk," I tell him. Then he says to me "I think I would rather have had a hunk of moose meat and bannock. What would you have rather had this morning?"

I said "An Olsen twin, not the one with an eating disorder, but the one that only looks like she has an eating disorder."

These questions from here: Tuesday Twosome Your Blog!
1. Are you more likely to spread gossip or listen to gossip?
2. Have you ever hurt somebody with gossip and if so, how?
3. Have you ever been hurt by gossip and if so, how?
4. Are you more likely to believe gossip about people you dislike and dismiss gossip about people you do like?
5. If somebody is gossiping about someone you like, do you stick up for that person or continue to listen to the gossip?

My answers:
1. Listen. I don't speak much.
2. Yes. I doubt I know who, when or why, but I know someone doesn't like something being said about them. That's why I don't do it anymore.
3. Yes. Haters. 'Nuf said.
4. Nope. I usually dismiss it all.
5. Neither, I tell them doing that shit (gossip) can only result in bad karma.

An old friend you've not seen for some time could take you by surprise by getting in touch via a third party. This could prompt you to think of times gone by and compare these with the present.

Take no notice if others raise their eyebrows: do something different for a change.

REVEALED AT LAST... THE THINGS WOMEN REALLY THINK ABOUT WHILE HAVING SEX!
::: posted by Spook at 5:37 PM | :::
TOP HUMAN sexuality research team has just revealed the answer to one of man's greatest, age-old quandaries about women -- namely, what women think about while having sex!

The popular theory that during sex, women's minds go blank so they can focus totally on giving and receiving pleasure.
According to research, the only time women's minds actually go blank is when they're attempting to watch and understand a sports game.

Seriously - here are the results of a poll done by the Spaulding Institute.

97% of the women polled responded with:

•Whether or not she loves her partner and he loves her.
•If his sexual technique is "pleasing her."
•Her next shopping excursion.
•Brad Pitt.
•"While I appreciate the energy he's expending to find my G-Spot, he's no Christopher Columbus."
•Haagen-Dazs Chocolate Chocolate-Chip ice cream.
•"That ceiling could sure use another coating of paint."
•Shoes.
•Whether her partner might think her rear end is too fat.

The other 3%, primarily members of the Religious Right, were preoccupied during sex with the following thoughts:

•Hoping it ends soon.
•Jesus.
•"Things would be so much less icky if people didn't have genitals."
•President Bush.
•Mel Gibson.
•Her husband in a nice suit.
•Shoes.

In comparison, a similar research study directed toward men, revealed that 100 percent of all men, during sex, are thinking about:

•Pamela Anderson.
•Angelina Jolie.
•Halle Berry.
•Salma Hayek.
•"Oh, yeah, baby, I bet you never had it this good!"
•Friends, neighbors, and relatives they'd like to "bang."
•Beer.
•Favorite sports teams.
•Their dream job -- being a photographer for Playboy magazine.
•Winning the state lottery.

Stay tuned - I'm already looking for the results of other studies .. like ... what gays and lesbians think about during sex, what animals think about during sex, and what space aliens think about during sex.

Biorhythms for Dave
::: posted by Spook at 11:14 AM | :::
Our biorhythm charts depict a range of days centered on the target day. The numbers -14, -7, +7, and +14 across the top mark dates ranging from the past to the future. The numbers from +100% (maximum) to -100% (minimum) indicate where the rhythms are on a particular day. In general, a rhythm at 0% is thought to have no real impact on your life, whereas a rhythm at +100% (a high) would give you an edge in that area, and a rhythm at -100% (a low) would make life more difficult in that area. There is no particular meaning to a day on which your rhythms are all high or all low, except the obvious benefits or hindrances that these rare extremes are thought to have on your life.

This was stolen from B3TA.com and it's by "Conundrum"

Strange things in the undergrowth...

Many moons ago I was a loyal servant of the Queen (Gawd Bless ‘Er), a fearless fighting soldier holding the borders of Germany against the menace of the Slavic Horde. Every year we were sent out into the countryside to lurk in the bushes, waiting for Ivan to come storming through the Fulda Gap, massed tank divisions of the Red Army poised to cut a bloody path to the Rhine. Every exercise season my unit lurked in the forests on Minden Ridge, passing the time away in time honoured tradition, eg, bullying new recruits, winding up officers and stealing each other’s turds.

Yep, that’s right, stealing turds. There are no toilets deep in the forest, and before the arrival of German contractors with their portaloos the solution was to grab a shovel, wander off into the bushes, dig a little hole, crap into it, then tidily fill it in before groping your way back to the tank laagers.

All the old soldiers took great delight in winding up the new boys. We used to warn them of the dangers of the deep German forests, strange animals that hid in the undergrowth, so starving they would eat the shit out of your arse before it hit the ground. Then ply them with illicit lager, crates of Herforder Pils hidden strategically in the ammunition lockers, topped up with bottles of Apple Korn and Jagermeister which all good squaddies have stashed away. Eventually one of these lads would stand up and fart, grab a shovel, and stumble off into the darkness….and the hunt was on!!!!

We would take our own shovel and follow, using our superior fieldcraft skills to silently creep up on the unsuspecting rookie, waiting for him to dig his hole, drop his trousers and squat over to drop his lot. Then snake forward, quietly reach forward with the shovel, place it strategically to catch whatever came out, then quietly withdraw with the spoils. There’s not a man alive who doesn’t turn to inspect his turds after crapping in the forest. But on looking into the hole, there’s a severe lack of evidence, even though he knows he’s just unloaded a good kilo of crap somewhere. So where the fuck is it?

The hardest part is not to laugh when watching this dickhead searching for his missing turds. The red-screened torch would come on, he’d pat the grass with his hands, walk in ever-increasing circles, then start flailing the bushes with his shovel. ‘Get out of it, you little shit-eating bastards!! Where the fuck are you?’ At this point we would fade silently into the background and leg it back to the camp, so by the time he found his way back we would be sitting quietly as before. As he excitedly poured out his story we would all look serious, wonder aloud about ‘Spetsnaz Infiltrators’, then get him to repeat his story ad infinitum, each repetition growing in detail about ‘noises in the bushes’, or ‘something moving in the shadows. Or even, God Save us, ‘a strange smell of corrupt flesh’. The more gullible among them could even be induced to write up an official ‘Contact Report’.

Guarding the West against the Red Menace that never so much fun again.

All true, as God is my witness. So where did those turds really go?
