HOST: WERE YOU AT THE SCENE of the shootout when it happened?

(Ay, the died persons!)

Host: So, you did not see the exchange of fire between the police and the (criminals?)

Guest: No, but one of our group says he saw one of the coup disgrace.

(Coup disgrace?—Oh, coup de grĂ¢ce!)

Quizmaster: If red wine is made from grapes, what is white wine made from?

Host: What’s the secret of a long and happy marriage?

Guest: You have to agree first in the beginning, dapat it’s a give in take relationship!

(Ay, give in take relationship!)

Host: What about the raid do you object to?

Guest: Before you raid, you have to get a church warrant. They did not have a church warrant, so they should not have raided.

Military tales, military woes

6 US servicemen charged with rape as US military investigates the case

THE United States military is conducting a parallel investigation into the alleged rape of a 22-year-old Filipina by its servicemen last week at the Subic Bay Freeport


Hard to be in the military.....you either get killed by roadside bombing, suicide attack or by accident.. and to think, they're just doing they're jobs or you go to court. Not all are rapist.

Lets hope there's good news for them like troops coming home for Thanksgiving or Christmas.

There are good guys and heroes. Of course the ones that are bad needs to be punished.

Catcher in the Rye moment

Today is All Souls Day (or Saints day.. I'm not really sure..but it's a holiday) and people go to cemeteries to visit grave of loved ones. Remember their dead and bring flowers and all that.

According to Holden Caulfied....

Boy, when you're dead, they really fix you up. I hope to hell when I do die somebody has sense enough to just dump me in the river or something. Anything except sticking me in a goddam cemetery. People coming and putting a bunch of flowers on your stomach on Sunday, and all that crap. Who wants flowers when you're dead? Nobody. - The Catcher in the Rye, 1945

Since it's been raining the past few days and for two days people will flock to the cemeteries to bring flowers, this line from the JD Salinger book came into my blogging mind.
