Taliban Trap
============

A large group of Taliban soldiers are moving down a road when they hear a
voice call from behind a sand-dune.
"One American Marine is better than ten Taliban".
The Taliban commander quickly sends 10 of his best soldiers
over the dune where upon a gun-battle breaks out and continues for a few
minutes, then silence.

The voice then calls out "One American Marine is better than one hundred Taliban".
Furious, the Taliban commander sends his next best 100 troops
over the dune and instantly a huge gunfight commences.
After 10 minutes of battle, again silence.

The American voice calls out again
"One American Marine is better than one thousand Taliban".
The enraged Taliban Commander musters one thousand fighters
and sends them across the dune.
Cannon, rocket and machine gun fire ring out as a huge battle is fought.
Then silence.
Eventually one wounded Taliban fighter crawls back
over the dune and with his dying words tells his commander...
"Don't send any more men, it's a trap.
There are actually two of them."





:D




one more this is an oldie but probably some haven't heard it



Train Wreck
===========

Benny wanted a job as a signalman on the railways.
At his interview, the inspector asked him this question:

"What would you do if you saw 2 trains heading for
each other on the SAME track?

Benny replied," I would switch the points for one of the trains."

"Good. But what if the lever broke?", asked the inspector.

"Then I'd run down to the signal box", said Benny,
"and use the manual lever there."

"What if lightning struck it?' asked the inspector.

"Then..." Benny continued, "I'd run back into signal
box & phone the next signal box."

"What if the phone was engaged?"

"Well.....in that case," persevered Benny, " I'd
rush down out of the box & use the public emergency
phone at the level of the crossing up there..."

"What would you do if THAT was vandalized?"

"Oh, well then I'd run into the village &
get my Uncle Mod."

This bizarre response puzzled the Inspector, so he asked,
"And just why would you do that?"

"Because Uncle Mod... He's never seen a train wreck!"

Pearls from Will Rogers
===========

A long time ago, there was a man named Will Rogers,
and this is what he said:

Don't squat with your spurs on.

Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that
comes from bad judgment.

Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier 'n
puttin' it back in.

If you're ridin' ahead of the herd, take a look back
every now and then to make sure it's still there.

If you get to thinkin' you're a person of some
influence, try orderin' somebody else's dog around.

After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so
good he started roaring. He kept it up until a hunter
came along and shot him... The moral: When you're full
of bull, keep your mouth shut.

Never kick a cow chip on a hot day.

There's two theories to arguin' with a woman.
Neither one works.

If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do
is stop diggin'.

Never slap a man who's chewin' tobacco.

It don't take a genius to spot a goat in a flock of sheep.

Always drink upstream from the herd.

When you give a lesson in meanness to a critter
or a person, don't be surprised if they learn their
lesson.

When you're throwin' your weight around, be ready to
have it thrown around by somebody else.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold
it over and put it back in your pocket.

Never miss a good chance to shut up.

There are three kinds of men. The one that learns by reading,
the few who learn by observation, and the rest of them
have to pee on the electric fence for themselves.
