Um ... Echoes,
Have I told you lately that I love you?
And -- by the way -- where exactly is the roast pork?

Now that was funny. Do you suppose someone did that on purpose?

I wouldn't say that the British don't have a sense of humor, it's just that their humor is a little more cynical, cerebral and dry.

MMMMM Bacon

Will in Iraq I had three Iraqi translators that ate with us in the Mess Hall ( I refuse to call it a DFAC ). I asked them if when they first started eating in the mess hall if they ever ate bacon not knowing what it was. The all answered yes. Then I asked them if they liked it and two of them said it was about the best tasting thing they ever had and that although they stopped eating it they wished they could. The third guy said it was the worst ever and he was ashamed he ate it, we could tell he was lying.

Incredible Sir!!!

And well, I have had my fair share of folks this season who are not "supposed" to eat it, but once tried, well, you know!

I will just call it, "god's food." For it seems to bring folks together. Lol.
