A Little Joke Options

[bernoulli]

omg lets not make this a political flame-fest. just replace the names with whoever x,y,& z you dont like!

Sorry, the first post in itself invited a political flame-fest. The joke in the original post was the one who replaced the names with whomever they didn't like.

[Fluffdoc]

I like the Clinton/Kerry version better. And Bush's approval rating is 100% in my house.

[TMccrury]

wow really nice...
i think it is true...

i have heard that most americans hate bush
so i think they might like this joke

No only the left wing drive by media and liberals hate Bush. But I do like the joke it is funny.

dont forget the millions of people who are high and dry, cant get a job even though they try, im not gonna get into this but all the people who like bush are usually rich people with not a care in the world. And by rich i mean make more than $40,000 a year. Small number to some big bucks to others. This topic is headed downhill fast.

I thought that the joke was funny. And it serves all sides of the political spectrum. Just insert the name of the people that you don't like. Hell, McChord, you could plug in the names of officers, nco's and other various air force types, change the number to what ever works and it's still funny.

Back to the politics. You've sited one of the inherent problems in our system. How do you define rich? Is it a dollar amount, a level of debt, a social class, racial? It's a tough nut to crack. Without trying to insight anyone, I once heard a democrat pundit define rich as anyone who could actually afford to pay their bills. Any amount over that was fair game for taxation, according to him. Interesting approach.

If more than $40,000 a year is rich, well, I guess I'm rich. But my income level is the result of working my butt off. I served 8 years on active duty in the Army, most of that right next door to you at Ft. Lewis. I took the skills that I used there and leveraged them into the well paying job I have today. Along the way I spent several months at Bates Voc-Tech getting my FCC license. I went to school to get my A&P license. I spent several years attending college at night while working full time during the day, raising a family, and serving in the Army Reserve. It had nothing to do with who happened to be president, whether it was Bush, Clinton, or Nixon. It had to do with me. Blaming the president for your lot in life is silly as long as YOU won't do anything to improve your life.

As for those people out there who are not high and dry, can't get a job, or make less than $40,000 a year - how is that any president's fault? President Bush did not create Katrina nor did he build the levees that failed. Yeah the response sucked, but there were a lot of guilty parties there, not just Bush. And the president doesn't create jobs - businesses create jobs. Maybe someone should look at policies, laws, regulations, and tax laws that serve to discourage businesses from expanding and creating jobs.

SOME of the people out there who are barely making it are in that position because they won't get off their tails and try to improve their situation. I have a 25-year old son is still living at home with me because he works at Wal-Mart and can't afford to move out on his own. He used to work at the FedEx hub here at Memphis, loading airplanes for $11 an hour with full benefits including medical and tuition assistance. He quit because he got tired of the job and working nights. Do I feel sorry for him? Absolutely not! He made some bad choices and now he must deal with the consequences. I don't know how many times I've told him that if he wants a good job then he needs a skill and experience than an employer will pay well for. So far he hasn't got the message. The worst part of all of this is that he is still emptying my refrigerator and leaving my lights on.

I'll admit that Bush isn't perfect, and I don't agree with some of the things he is doing (or not doing) particularly with regard to immigration policy and spending. But I'll stick with him.

Then maybe "jokes" like these should not be allowed here, especially when they really have NOTHING to do with aviation. Just cause AF1 was mentioned as the setting for the joke doesn't mean the joke has anything to do with aviation. You of all people should know that.

Has anyone seen this one

An airplane was about to crash; there were 5 passengers on board but
only 4 parachutes.
The 1st passenger said, "I am Kobe Bryant, the best NBA basketball
player, the Lakers need me, I can't afford to die." So he took the 1st
pack and
left the plane.
The 2nd passenger, Hillary Clinton said, " I am the wife of the former US President, a NY State Senator and a potential future president." So
she took the 2nd pack and jumped out of the plane.

The 3rd passenger, George W. Bush, said, "I'm the president of the
United States of America. I have great responsibility being the leader
of a super-power nation and I am the cleverest president in American
history, so America's people won't let me die." So he grabbed the pack
next to him and jumped out of the plane.

The 4th passenger, the Pope, said to the 5th passenger, a 10 year old
schoolgirl, "I am old and frail and don't have many years left, and I will sacrifice my life and let you have the last
parachute."

The girl said, "it's okay, there is a parachute left for you. America's
cleverest president has taken my schoolbag."

The Baseball Game

Bill and Hillary Clinton are in the front row at a Yankees game.

The row behind them is taken up with Secret Service agents, one of whom leans over and whispers something into the President's ear. As soon as he finishes, Mr. Clinton grabs Hillary by the scruff of the neck and heaves her over the railing.

Hillary falls 10 feet to the top of the dugout, kicking and screaming obscenities.

The Secret Service agent leans over again and whispers, "Mr. President, I said, they want you to throw out the first PITCH!"

The 3rd passenger, Yasser Arafat, said, "I'm the leader of the Palestinian people and our Cause. I have the great responsibility being the leader of an Islamic nation." So he grabbed the pack next to him and jumped.

The 4th passenger, Billy Graham, said to the 5th passenger, a 10 year old
schoolgirl, "I am old and frail and don't have many years left, and as a Christian, I will sacrifice my life and let you have the last parachute."

The girl said, "That's okay. There's a parachute left for you. America's smartest woman took my schoolbag."

Don't worry, little man...you'll like it well enough when you're older...

Yes. I believe it's called OFF TOPIC! Why are jokes being posted on the Civil Aviation forum?

Bill Clinton is working late at his Harlem office when Hillary calls and starts raving, "Bill, I'm pregnant! You said you would not let this happen! It's all your fault and you're going to pay plenty!"

Bill thinks a moment and asks, "Who is this?"
