a little military humor to kick off your humpday

[Fritz]

"July 15, 2003: The 380 Danish troops stationed in Qurna, Iraq (75 kilometers from Basra) recently received a shipment of supplies that included a snowplow, snow shovels, road salt and lawnmowers. Think about that - a snowplow in the desert."

Thanks. I just wet myself I was laughing so hard.

That's the kind of thing the Canadian army would do...

Did you know that when they sent troops in Afganistan, they sent them with nice dark green fatigues, instead of the beige (or taupe?) one every other country had?? They tried correcting that and it took a good six months for the new suits to arrive...

:long sigh:

Are you nuts? There are 380 of them. The Canadians could never field such a mighty army.

hehehe:D

Canada probably has less than 100 troops:D

What are you talking about? Canada has the most powerful army in the world, just like any of the other 50 states can claim.

Wanna hear another cheesy joke set in the desert????

OK, here goes....

Two guys are lost in the desert for weeks, and they're
at death's door. As they stumble on, hoping for salvation in the form of an oasis or something similar, they suddenly spy, through the heat haze, a tree off in the distance. As they get closer, they can see that the tree is draped with rasher upon rasher of bacon. There's smoked bacon, crispy bacon, life-giving juicy nearly-raw bacon, all sorts.

"Oh my, Pepe" says the first bloke. "It's a bacon tree!!!

We're saved!!!" "You're right!" says Pepe.

So Pepe goes on ahead and runs up to the tree salivating at the prospect of food. But as he gets to within five feet of the tree, there's the sound of machine gun fire, and he is shot down in a hail of bullets.

His friend quickly drops down on the sand, and calls across to the dying Pepe.

"Pepe!! Pepe!! What on earth happened?"

With his dying breath Pepe calls out "Ugh, run, run!! It's not a Bacon Tree...
