The Air Force cargo aircraft pushed back from the gate, the load mistress gave the passengers the usual information regarding seat belts, etc. Finally, she said, "Now sit back and enjoy your trip while your Aircraft Commander, Major Judith Campbell, and crew take you safely to your destination."
Sgt. Looper, sitting in the eighth row thought to himself, "Did I hear her right? Is the Major a woman?" When the cargo crew came by, he said, "Did I understand you right? Is the Major a woman?"
"Yes," said the crew member, "In fact, this entire crew is female." "My God," said Sgt. Looper, "I'd better have a tranqulizer. I don't know what to think of all those women up there in the cockpit."
"That's another thing Sarge," she said, "We no longer call it the cock pit."
"It's the Box Office."

Cheap Tomatoes?
From a California school teacher - - -"As you listen to the news about
the student protests over illegal immigration, there are some things
that you should be aware of:
"I am in charge of the English-as-a-second-language department at a large
southern California high school which is designated a Title 1 school,
meaning that its students average lower socioeconomic and income
levels.
"Most of the schools you are hearing about, South Gate High, Bell
Gardens, Huntington Park, etc., where these students are protesting, are
also Title 1 schools.
"One hundred percent of the students in this school and other Title 1
schools are on the free breakfast and free lunch program. When I say
free breakfast, I'm not talking a glass of milk and roll -- but a full
breakfast and cereal bar with fruits and juices that would make a
Marriott proud. The waste of this food is monumental, with trays and
trays of it being dumped in the trash uneaten. (OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK)
"I estimate that well over 50% of these students are obese or at least
moderately overweight. About 75% or more DO have cell phones. The school
also provides day care centers for the unwed teenage pregnant girls
(some as young as 13) so they can attend class without the inconvenience
of having to arrange for babysitters or having family watch their kids.
(OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK)
"I was ordered to spend $700,000 on my department or risk losing funding
for the upcoming year even though there was little need for anything; my
budget was already substantial. I ended up buying new computers for the
computer learning center, half of which, one month later, have been
carved with graffiti by the appreciative students who obviously feel
humbled and grateful to have a free education in America. (OUR TAX
DOLLARS AT WORK)
"I have had to intervene several times for young and substitute teachers
whose classes consist of many illegal immigrant students here in the
country less then 3 months who raised so much hell with the female
teachers, calling them "Putas" whores and throwing things that the
teachers were in tears.
"Free medical, free education, free food, day care etc., etc., etc. Is
it any wonder they feel entitled to not only be in this country, but to
demand rights, privileges and entitlements?
"To my liberal friends: I hope you're really proud of how our congress
has helped to sell-out this country with this pro-illegal policy.
"To my bleeding-heart liberal friends who want to point out how much
these illegal immigrants contribute to our society because they LIKE
their gardener and housekeeper and they like to pay less for tomatoes:
spend some time in the real world of illegal immigration and see the
TRUE costs.
"Higher insurance, medical facilities closing, higher medical costs, more
crime, lower standards of education in our schools, overcrowding, new
diseases etc., etc, etc. For me, I'll pay more for tomatoes.
"We need to wake up. The guest worker program will be a disaster because
we won't have the guts to enforce it.
"Does anyone in their right mind really think they will voluntarily leave
and return?
"There are many hardworking Hispanic/American citizens that contribute to
our country and many that I consider my true friends. We should
encourage and accept those Hispanics who have done it the right and
legal way.
"It does, however, have everything to do with culture: A third-world
culture that does not value education, that accepts children getting
pregnant and dropping out of school by 15 and that refuses to
assimilate, and an American culture that has become so weak and worried
about 'politically correct' that we don't have the will to do anything
about it."
733. Subject: A New Immigrant
A Somali arrives in Minneapolis as a new immigrant to the United
States. He stops the first person he sees walking down the street
and
says, "Thank you Mr. American for letting me in this country, and
giving me housing, food stamps, free medical care and free
education!"
But the passer-by says "You are mistaken, I am Mexican".
The man goes on and encounters another passer-by. "Thank you for
having such a beautiful country here in America!"
The person says "I no American, I Vietnamese."
The new arrival walks further, and the next person he sees he stops,
shakes his hand and says "Thank you for the wonderful America!"
That person puts up his hand and says "I am from Middle East, I am
not an American!"
He finally sees a nice lady and asks suspiciously, "Are you an
American?"
She says, "No, I am from Russia!" So he is puzzled, and asks her, "Where are all the Americans?"
The Russian lady looks at her watch, shrugs, and says...
"Probably at work!"

Subject: A MUST READ
Those Born 1930-1979 or Before like me - I remember!
----- READ TO THE BOTTOM FOR QUOTE OF THE MONTH BY JAY LENO IF YOU DON'T READ ANYTHING ELSE-----VERY WELL STATED Those Born 1930-1979!
TO ALL THE KIDS
WHO SURVIVED the 1930's 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's !!
They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes.
Then after that trauma, we were put to sleep on our tummies in baby cribs covered with bright colored lead-based paints
We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we
rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking
As infants & children, we would ride in cars with no car seats, booster seats, seat belts or air bags.
Riding in the back of a pick up on a warm day was always a special treat.
We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle.
We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and
NO ONE actually died from this.
We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter and drank koolade made with sugar, but we weren't overweight because
WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!
We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on.
No one was able to reach us all day.
And we were O.K.
We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down
the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem.
We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, no video games at all, no 150 channels on cable, no video movies or DVD's, no surround-sound or CD's, no cell phones, no personal computers, no Internet or chat rooms....... WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!
We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no
lawsuits from these accidents.
We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.
We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays,
made up games with sticks and tennis balls and, although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes.
We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang
the bell, or just walked in and talked to them!
Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!!
The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of.
They actually sided with the law!
These generations have produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever !
The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.
We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned
HOW TO
DEAL WITH IT ALL!
If YOU are one of them . . CONGRATULATIONS!
You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as
kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated so much of our lives for our own good.
And while you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will know how brave (and lucky) their parents were.
Kind of makes you want to run through the house with scissors, doesn't it?!
The quote of the month is by Jay Leno:
"With hurricanes, tornados, fires out of control, mud slides, flooding, severe thunderstorms tearing up the country from one end to another, and with the threat of bird flu and terrorist attacks,"Are we sure this is a good time to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance?"
For those that prefer to think that God is not watching over us....go ahead and delete this.
For the rest of us....pass this on.

Subject: Rapist's Trick
Know what money you are carrying! You will see why
as you read!
Be sure every lady is aware of this M.O. Share with
it your wife and
daughters. Know what money you are carrying..
This was the first I have heard of a scheme like
this... I wanted to
pass
it along. Be safe! Something very serious to pay
attention to.
Criminals are coming up with craftier, less
threatening methods of
attack, so we have to be extra cautious. Read on..
I live in
Alexandria, VA, but
I often work in Lafayette, LA, staying with
friends when I'm there.
As you
know from America's Most Wanted TV program, as well
as the news
media,
there is a serial killer in the Lafayette area. I
just want to let you
know about an "incident " that happened to me a few
weeks ago, and
could have
been deadly.
At first I didn't go to the police or anyone with
it beca use I didn't
realize how serious this encounter was. But since I
work in a jail and
I
told a few people about it, it wasn't long before I
was paraded into
Internal Affairs to tell them my story. It was
proximately 5:15 a.m. in
Opelousas, La.I had stayed with a friend there and
was on my way to
work.
I stopped at the Exxon/Blimpie Pie station to get gas. I got $10 gas
and
a Diet Coke. I took into the store two $5 bills and
one $1 bill (just
enough to get my stuff).
As I pulled away from the store, a man approached
my truck from the
back
side of the store (an unlit area). He was an "approachable-looking"
man
(clean cut, clean shaven, dressed well, etc.).
He walked up to my window and knocked. Since I'm
very paranoid and "always looking for the rapist or killer," I didn't
open the window .
I just
asked what he wanted. He raised a $5 bill to my
window and said, "You
dropped
this." Since I knew I had gone into the store with
a certain amount of
money, I knew I didn't drop it.
When I told him it wasn't mine, he began hitting the
window and door,
screaming at me to open my door, and insisting that
I had dropped the
money! At that point, I just drove away as fast as I
could. After
talking
to the Internal Affairs Department and describing
the man I saw, and
the
way he escalated from calm and polite to angry and
volatile....it was
determined that I could have possibly encountered
the serial killer
myself.
Up to this point, it had been unclear as to how he
had gained access
to
his victims, since there has been no evidence of
forced entry into
victim's
homes, cars, etc. And the fact that he has been
attacking in the
daytime,
when women are less likely to have their guard up,
means he is pretty
BOLD.
So think about it...what gesture is nicer than
returning money to
someone
that dropped it?????
How many times would you have opened your window (or
door) to get your
money and say thank you.... because if the person is
kind enough to
return something to you, then he can't really be a
threat...can he????
Please be
cautious! This might not have been the serial
killer... but anyone
that
gets that angry over someone not accepting money
from them, can't have
honorable intentions. The most important thing to
note is that his
reaction was ! NOT WHAT I EXPECTED! A total
surprise! But what might
have happened
if I had opened my door? I shudder to think!
Forward this to everyone you know...maybe they can
be as fortunate as
I
was!
P.S. Ladies, really DO forward this to EVERYONE you
know Even if this
man
wasn't a serial killer, he looked nice, he seemed
polite , he was
apparently
doing an act of kindness, but HE WAS NOT A NICE
PERSON!!!
Men send it to all the women in your life. What you
do today is
important
because you are exchanging a day of your life for
it. Make it a good
one!
Please forward to anyone you think might benefit
from this story.
