Troops Should Pull Out

Dave

If you consider that there has been an average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq theatre of operations during the last 22 months, and a total of 2,112 deaths – that gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000 soldiers.

For the same period of time, the firearm death rate in Washington DC is 80.6 per 100,000 citizens.

That means that you are about 30 percent more likely to be shot and killed in the Capitol of the United States
– which has some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation – than you are in Iraq.

Conclusion:
The United States should pull out of Washington, DC immediately!

Lost in Translation: A Roman Rendezvous Gone Wrong

Dave

A virile, middle-aged Italian gentleman named Guido was relaxing at his favorite bar in Rome when he managed to attract the attention of a spectacular young blonde woman.

Things progressed quickly. Before long, he invited her back to his apartment. After some flirtatious small talk, they retired to his bedroom, where he proceeded to rattle her senseless.

After a pleasant interlude, he smiled and asked, “So… you finish?”

She paused, frowned slightly, and replied, “No.”

Surprised but determined, Guido reached for her again, and the rattling resumed. This time she thrashed wildly, crying out with unmistakable passion.

Finally, they collapsed in exhaustion.

Guido, grinning confidently, asked once more, “You finish?”

She paused again, smiled sweetly, cuddled closer, and softly said, “No.”

Now stunned—but absolutely unwilling to leave her unsatisfied—Guido summoned every last ounce of strength. What followed was a final crescendo of screaming, bucking, clawing, and shredded bedsheets.

Completely spent, Guido fell onto his back, gasping for air. With heroic pride, he turned his head slightly and whispered one final time:

“You finish?”

Barely able to speak, the beautiful blonde leaned into his ear and murmured:

“No… I Norwegian.”
