Funny Stuff
The internet can be a great source of knowledge. It can also be a wonderful time waster!

Don't Puff and Run...
About 10 years ago, some wit in Indiana scanned the "Don't Pump and Run" warning sticker off of a gas pump, liberally Photoshopped it, and printed it to similarly sized stickers. In the next few days, these started appearing on gas pumps all throughout our hometown. My hat goes off to the author of this one...
Political
The Brits don't tend to hold punches when it comes to politics. After the last US election, the following headlines appeared on various papers around London:
George is an idiot...

Their scorn isn't limited to the US President...
President Dwight D. Eisenhower's "Cross of Iron" Speech
There have been a -few- good Republican Presidents. This is an except from President Eisenhower's "Cross of Iron" speech, delivered to the American Society of Newspaper Editors on April 16,1953. These words were true over half a century ago. Just imagine how much more true they are today. I sure wish someone would shove these words down Dubya's throat.
Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from
those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.
This world in arms is not spending money alone.
It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.
The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities.
It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population.
It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals.
It is some 50 miles of concrete highway.
We pay for a single fighter with a half million bushels of wheat.
We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people.
This, I repeat, is the best way of life to be found on the road the world has been taking.
This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.
