Hmmm, Kami, your post here and the one in my e-mail are vastly different!
On another note, I just re-read Clancy's "Debt of Honor" and I noticed the name of the Japanese AWACS plane was Kami (1 through 10).
Co-incidence?
Yes, and I am sorry. I posted, then thought better (or worse) of it. I do not want a fight; if you read what I originally posted, you can decide for yourself if you agree with any of it.
My apologies again.
* "Kami" is also, I believe, the Japanese word for 'Spirit'; it is a coincidence that I like more.

Seems accurate enough. Rather unfortunate, however.
I would have left it, since it is simply reporting on what is already posted elsewhere. Maybe a bit over the top for the joke thread....
Back to jokes:
Thank you, Larry.

Albert Einstein was at a party when he was asked by a guest if he could just simply explain how a wireless telegraph worked.
He replied: "Imagine a very big cat. Its' tail is in New York and its' head is in Los Angeles. When you pull the tail in New York,it meows in Los Angeles. Wireless telegraphy is just like that but without the cat."
It's not that I particularly value points--I'm just frustrated seeing users headed off in what I consider to be a wrong direction based on points. So I'm trying to accumulate points so that users will have (what I feel to be) a more correct idea of whether or not to take my advice.
lol! really? isn't that how the 3rd reich started?!!
Gary: Hey Fred,it's been a while. How are your poetry studies coming along?
Fred: Great! Since starting them,I've doubled my audience!

My bad, Dave. You can swipe the first part of post 2115 somewhere down the joke thread. I don't think anyone will notice. ![]()
Btw,the forum upgrade seems to have reset notification prefs,I've been getting email on this thread.
So under Your Stuff > Preferences,click on the Email Notifications tab,and see if your settings are where you want them.
I guess I tend to work backwards,Bill. This issue is also detailed in the Announcements on the Forums index.
Well,here's a story about a driver stopped by a Highway Patrol Officer who must have been related to Barney Fife.
HPO: Okay sir,let's see your license.
Driver: Here you are.
HPO Stares intently at the license,then at the driver: You are wearing glasses in this photo,why don't you have them on?
Driver: I have contacts.
HPO: Listen Mister! I don't care who you know!! ![]()
Good one.
One evening, while car-pooling home from the office, our driver was stopped.
Same initial dialog transpired, and Dave handed the officer his license. Now, Dave was about 6-8 and 300 lbs. He looked like a very large Alex Karras (NFL football player from that era), but he had a full head of black hair, and a very full black beard - just a "bear" of a man. The license was upside down, when handed to the officer. He looked at it for a long while, and then finally back at Dave. His eyes went back to the license, and he finally said, "Are you trying to be funny? I can run you in for that. This is not a picture of you!" Dave retrieved the license, and turned it around, handing it back to the officer, who replied, "Oh, OK. I see now. Well, slow down a bit, and have a nice day."
At least he did not ask Dave to get out of the car, and stand on his head, so that he could be properly identified... ![]()

Ditto. Some times the best ones are true.

At this point I'd guess the officer was too embarassed to be issuing any citation or speeding ticket with his name on it. ![]()
Last one in this series for me: One co-worker had a nephew in the Texas Highway Patrol,and a driver he stopped claimed to be a friend with someone in his division (he did not know it was the same officer he was talking to) The officer writes up the ticket and sneers,"I hate him."
A Police STOP at 2 AM
An elderly man is stopped by the police around 2 a.m. and is asked where he is going at this time of night.
The man replies, "I am on my way to a lecture about alcohol abuse and the adverse effects it has on the human body, as well as the effects of smoking and staying out late."
The officer then asks, "Really ... and who is giving that lecture at this time of night?"
The man replies, "That would be my wife".
No joke is original - it's a fact that they come from outside this universe. There's a significant possibility our ability to find things funny will evaporate when most people realize this and we mess up the experiment.
Why don't aliens eat clowns.
Because they taste funny.
Once upon a time there were two muffins in the microwave.
Suddenly, one of the muffins says: "Man it's hot in here!"
The other muffin exclaims, "My God, a talking muffin!!!!"

On a beautiful summer's day, two American tourists were driving through Wales.
At Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyllllantysiliogogoch, they stopped for lunch, and one of the tourists asked the waitress,
"Before we order, I wonder if you could settle an argument for us. Can you pronounce where we are, very, very, very slowly?"
The girl leaned over and said, "Burrr … gurrr … king".
Paddy was driving down the street in a sweat because he had an important meeting and couldn't find a parking place. Looking up to heaven he said, 'Lord take pity on me. If you find me a parking place I will go to Mass every Sunday for the rest of me life and give up me Irish Whiskey!'
Miraculously, a parking place appeared.
Paddy looked up again and said, 'Never mind, I found one.'
Christmas Lights
Hi Sweetheart,
I am sorry about getting into an argument about putting up the Christmas lights.
I guess that sometimes I feel like you are pushing me too hard when you want something.
I realize that I was wrong and I am apologizing for being such a hard-headed guy.
All I want is for you to be happy and be able to enjoy the holiday season.
Nothing brightens the Christmas spirit like Christmas lights!
I took the time to hang the lights for you today and now I will be off to go hunting.
Again, I am very sorry for the way I acted yesterday.
I'll be home later.
Love you……
