THE THOUGHTS OF CHAIRMAN ROB

THE THOUGHTS OF CHAIRMAN BOB!
"I wish I was the sort of person my dogs think I am!"
Dear friends,
I would never deliberately or knowingly try to offend anyone, but at the same time I won't bow to
censorship or Wowsers!
For my overseas readers, a "Wowser" is an Australian term for the boorish, humorless, prudish and pious, hypocrites who are offended by just about every thing. They usually have a few skeletons rattling about in
their closets as well!
So be warned dear reader! Amongst my musings, babblings and "pearls of wisdom", there are a few off-colour jokes and stories that have been sent in and a few from my own very warped sense of humour.
So if you are likely to take offence at the odd Blue joke and will then feel compelled to send me outraged e-mails, (And if your offended by my site you haven't been surfing the web very much!) you best not read on, for every one else who likes a chuckle, ENJOY!
P.S. Contributions, blue or any other colure are most welcome, just keep them short and sweet.
Also, please tell me if any MPEGs or Pictures don't come on.

Did I leave my bloody car keys at home again!?

Heres a horrible thought.
In about 40 to 50 years there's going to be millions of old ladies running about with tattoos and pierced navels...!

Major General Peter Cosgrove
was interviewed on the radio recently.
You'll love his reply to the lady who interviewed him concerning guns and children. Regardless of how you feel about gun laws you gotta love this! This is one of the best comeback lines of all time. It is a portion of an ABC interview between a female broadcaster and General Cosgrove who was about to sponsor a Boy Scout Troop visiting his military headquarters.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER:
So, General Cosgrove, what things are you going to teach these young boys when they visit your base?

GENERAL COSGROVE:
We're going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery and shooting.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER:
Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, isn't it?

GENERAL COSGROVE:
I don't see why, they'll be properly supervised on the rifle range.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER:
Don't you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children?

GENERAL COSGROVE:
I don't see how. We will be teaching them proper rifle discipline before they even touch a firearm.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER:
But you're equipping them to become violent killers.

GENERAL COSGROVE:
Well, Ma'am, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but
you're not one, are you?
The radio went silent and the interview ended.

Manure... An interesting fact.
Manure: In the 16th and 17th centuries, everything had to be transported by ship and it was also before commercial fertilizer's invention, so large
shipments of manure were common.
It was shipped dry, because in dry form it weighed a lot less than when wet, but once water (at sea) hit it, it not only became heavier, but the process of fermentation began again, of which a by product is methane gas. As the stuff was stored below decks in bundles you can see what could (and did) happen.
Methane began to build up below decks and the first time someone came below at night with a lantern, BOOOOM!
Several ships were destroyed in this manner before it was determined
just what was happening
After that, the bundles of manure were always stamped with the term
'Ship High In Transit' on them, which meant for the sailors to stow it high enough off the lower decks so that any water that came into the hold would not touch this volatile cargo and start the production of methane.
Thus evolved the term ' S.H.I.T ', (Ship High In Transit) which has come down through the centuries and is in use to this very day.
You probably did not know the true history of this word.
Neither did I.
I had always thought it was a golf term.

The main problem with kids now days is that they all want to be individuals,
just like every one else...

Friendship between women:
A woman didn't come home one night. The next morning she told her husband that she had slept over at a friend's house. The man called his wife's 10 best friends. None of them knew anything about it.

Friendship between men:
A man didn't come home one night. The next morning he told his wife that he had slept over at a friend's house. The woman called her husband's 10 best friends, 8 of which confirmed that he had slept over, and 2 said
that he was still there.

When politicians pass laws that will be obeyed only by the law-abiding, they content themselves that
they have taken action.
As a consequence, while our leaders are absorbed with media interviews and mutual congratulations,
the original problems are left to fester.
Sanctimony never stopped a bullet, or prevented an overdose and no criminal has ever been

At the end of the tax year, the Tax Office sent an inspector to
audit the books of a synagogue.
While he was checking the books he turned to the Rabbi and said:
"I notice you buy a lot of candles. What do you do with
the candle drippings?"
"Good question," noted the Rabbi.
"We save them up and send them back to the candle makers, and every now and then they send us a free box of candles."
"Oh," replied the auditor, somewhat disappointed that his unusual question had a practical answer.
But on he went, in his obnoxious way: "What about all these biscuit
purchases? What do you do with the crumbs?"
"Ah, yes," replied the Rabbi, realising that the inspector was trying to
trap him with an unanswerable question.
"We collect them and send them back to the manufacturers, and every now and then they send a free box of biscuits."
"I see!" replied the auditor, thinking hard about how he could
fluster the know-it-all Rabbi.
"Well, Rabbi," he went on, "what do you do with all the leftover foreskins
from the circumcisions you perform?"
"Here, too, we do not waste," answered the Rabbi.
"What we do is save up all the foreskins and send them to the Tax Office, and about once a year they send us a complete dick."

The frightening thing is, our Greens would probably think it's a great idea as well...!

I am Cow,
Hear me moo,

And I look good on the barbecue too!

The one major problem with our political parties (especially the Greens) is that they put there dogma ahead of common sense!

In the western film "Shane", Alan Ladd pointed out that:
"A gun is a tool, no better and no worse than
an axe or any other tool;
a gun is as good as the man using it."

Elementary observation inevitably escapes the thought process of the well-meaning.

A man boards an airplane and takes his seat. As he settles in, he glances up and sees the most beautiful woman boarding the plane. He soon realizes that she is headed straight toward his seat.
A wave of nervous anticipation washes over him.
Low and behold, she takes the seat right beside his. Anxious to strike up a conversation, he blurts out, "So where are you flying to today?" She turns and smiles and says,
"To the annual Nymphomaniac Convention in Chicago."
Whoa! He swallows hard and is instantly CRAZED with excitement. Here's the most gorgeous woman he's ever seen, sitting right next to him, and she's going to a meeting of nymphomaniacs!
Struggling to maintain his outward cool, he calmly asks, "And what's your role at this convention?" She flips her long hair back, turns to him, looks into his eyes, and says, "Well, I try to debunk some of the popular
myths about sexuality."
"Really", he says, swallowing hard, again. "And what myths are those?" She explains: "Well, one popular myth is that African American men are the most well-endowed, when, in fact, it is the Native American who is most likely to possess this trait. Another popular myth is that Frenchmen are the best lovers, when actually it is men of Jewish descent who
romance women best, on average."
"Very interesting" the man responds. Suddenly, the woman becomes very embarrassed, and blushes. "I'm sorry," she says, "I feel so awkward discussing this with you, and I don't even know your name." The man extends his hand and replies, "Tonto, Tonto Goldstein."

Atomic Energy Lab, USA ca. 1960
Mummy, is my face glowing?
In 1951, A.C. Gilbert introduced his U-238 Atomic Energy Lab,
a radioactive learning set we can only assume was fun for the whole math club. Gilbert, who American memorabilia claims was "often compared to Walt Disney for his creative genius," had a dream that nuclear power could capture the imaginations of children everywhere.
For a mere $49.50, the kit came complete with three "very low-level" radioactive sources, a Geiger-Mueller radiation counter, a Wilson Cloud Chamber (to see paths of alpha particles), a Spinthariscope (to see "live" radioactive disintegration), four samples of Uranium-bearing ores, and an Electroscope to measure radioactivity.
And what nuclear lab for kids would be complete without an Atomic Energy Manual and Learn How Dagwood Splits the Atom, comic book. (The latter was written with the help of General Leslie Groves, director of the Manhattan Project.)
Kids do the nuttiest things, but not, apparently, nuclear physics. The toy was only sold for one year. Funny about that...
It's unclear what effects the Uranium-bearing ores might have had on those few lucky children who received the set, but exposure to the same isotope—U-238—has been linked to cancer, leukaemia, and lymphoma, among other serious ailments. Even more uncertain is the long-term impact of being raised by the kind of nerds who would give their kid an Atomic Energy Lab.

It's vital to be open minded.

Military Trivia

You'll enjoy this from Col D. G. Swinford, USMC, Ret and history buff. You would really have to dig deep to get this kind of ringside seat to history:

The first German serviceman killed in WW2 was killed by the Japanese (China , 1937), the first American serviceman killed was killed by the Russians (Finland1940); highest ranking American killed was Lt Gen Lesley McNair, killed by the US Army Air Corps. So much for allies.

During the Japanese attack on Hong Kong British officers objected to Canadian infantrymen taking up positions in the officer's mess.
No enlisted men allowed you know.

The US Army had more ships than the US Navy.

The youngest US serviceman was 12 year old Calvin Graham, USN. He was wounded and given a Dishonourable Discharge for lying about his age. His benefits were later restored by act of Congress.

The Russians destroyed over 500 German aircraft by ramming them in mid-air (they also sometimes cleared mine fields by marching over them).
"It takes a brave man not to be a hero in the Red Army" - Joseph Stalin

At the time of Pearl Harbour , the top US Navy command was called CINCUS (pronounced "sink us"), the shoulder patch of the US Army's 45th Infantry
division was the Swastika, and Hitler's private train was named "Amerika." All three were soon changed for PR purposes.

More US servicemen died in the Air Corps than the Marine Corps. While completing the required 30 missions, your chance of being killed was 71%.

A number of air crewman died of farts (ascending to 20,000 ft. in an unpressurized aircraft causes intestinal gas to expand 300%).

Generally speaking, there was no such thing as an average fighter pilot. You were either an ace or a target. For instance, Japanese Ace Hiroyoshi Nishizawa shot down over 80 planes. He died while a passenger on a cargo plane.

It was a common practice on fighter planes to load every 5th round with a tracer round to aid in aiming. This was a mistake. Tracers had different ballistics so (at long range) if your tracers were hitting the target 80% of your rounds were missing. Worse yet tracers instantly told your enemy he was under fire and from which direction. Worst of all was the practice of loading a string of tracers at the end of the belt to tell you that you were out of ammo.
This was definitely not something you wanted to tell the enemy.
Units that stopped using tracers saw their success rate nearly double
and their loss rate go down.

YOU'VE GOT TO LOVE THIS ONE....
When allied armies reached the Rhine, the first thing men did was pee in it. This was pretty universal from the lowest private to Winston Churchill (who made a big show of it) and Gen. George S Patton (who had himself photographed in the act).

German Me-264 bombers were capable of bombing New York City , but it wasn't worth the effort.

When the US Army landed in North Africa, among the equipment brought ashore were 3 complete Coca-Cola bottling plants.

German submarine U-120 was sunk by a malfunctioning toilet.

Most members of the Waffen SS were not German...

Among the first "Germans" captured at Normandy were several Koreans. They had been forced to fight for the Japanese Army until they were captured by the Russians and forced to fight for the Russian Army until they were captured by the Germans and forced to fight for the German Army until they were captured by the US Army....

AND I SAVED THE BEST FOR LAST....
Following a massive naval bombardment, 35,000 United States and Canadian troops stormed ashore at Kiska, in the Aleutian Islands 21 troops were killed in the fire fight. It would have been worse if there had been any
Japanese on the island.

Our star, along with millions and millions of other stars, circle the centre of the galaxy, known as the Milky Way. Every single speck in this picture is a galaxy, not a star, and each of these galaxies are surrounded by millions of other stars, all which have the potential to be orbited by planets, which in turn have the potential to be inhabited by life. These galaxies are estimated to be over 13 billion light years away,

THE BASTARD FROM THE BUSH
As the night was falling slowly over city, town and bush,
From a house in Hogan's Alley came the Captain of the Push,
And his whistle loud and piercing woke the echoes of the Rocks,
And a dozen ghouls came slouching round the corners of the docks,

Then the Captain jerked a finger at a stranger on the kerb,
Whom he qualified politely with an adjective and verb.
Then he made the introduction, ''Here's a covey from the bush,
Fuck me blind, he wants to join us, be a member of the Push!”

Then the stranger made this answer to the Captain of the Push,
'Fuck me dead, I'm Foreskin Fred, the Bastard from the Bush!
I've been to every two-up school from Darwin to the 'Loo,
I've ridden colts and black gins, what more can a Bastard do?'

“Are you game to smash a window?” asked the Captain of the Push;
'I'd knock a fucking house down,' said the Bastard from the Bush.
Would you take a maiden's baby? said the Captain of the Push.
'I'd take baby's a maiden,' said the Bastard from the Bush.

Would you bash a bloody copper, if you caught the cunt alone.
Would you stoush a swell or chinky, split his garret with a stone,
Would you make you wife a harlot, would swear off work for good?'
Again that bastard's voice rang out. 'My fucking oath, I would!

'Do you help the girls pick gumleaves?' asked the Captain of the Push
'No, I hit 'em with the branches! said the Bastard from the Bush.
'Would you knock me down and rob me?' asked the Captain of the Push.
'I'd knock you down and fuck you!' said the Bastard from the Bush.

'Would you like a cigarette?' said the Captain of the Push.
'I'll take the bloody packet,' said the Bastard from the Bush.
Then the Pushites all took counsel, saying 'Fuck me but he's game.
Let's make him our star basher, and he'll live up to his name.'

So they took him to their hide-out, that Bastard from the Bush
And they gave him all the privileges belonging to the Push.
But soon they found his little ways were more than they could stand.
And finally the Captain thus addressed his little band;

'Now listen here you 'buggers, we've caught a fucking tartar:
At every kind of bludgin' that bastard's got the starter.
At poker and at two-up be shook our fucking rules,
He swipes our fucking liquor and he robs our fucking girls.

So down in Hogan's Alley, all the members of the Push
Laid a dark and dirty ambush for the Bastard from the Bush.
And against the wall of Riley's pub, the Bastard made a stand.
A nasty grin upon his dial, a bike chain in his hand.

They sprang upon him in a bunch, but one by one they fell,
With crack of bone, unearthly groan and agonizing yell,
Till the sorely battered Captain, spitting teeth and coughing blood,
Held an ear all torn and bleeding in a hand bedaubed with mud.

'You low polluted bastard,' snarled the Captain of the Push,
'Get back to where you come from, that's somewhere in the bush.
And I hope that vile misfortune may tumble down on you:
May some lousy harlot dose you till your bollocks turn sky blue.

May-the pangs of windy spasms through your aching bowels dart,
May you shit your bloody trousers, every time you try to fart,
May you take a swig of gin's piss, mistaking it for beer,
May the Push you next impose on toss you out upon your ear.

May the itching piles torment you, may corns grow on your feet,
May crabs as big as spiders attack your balls a treat.
Then when you're down and out and a hopeless bloody wreck,
May you slip back through your arsehole and break your bloody neck.'

HE LAID HER ON THE TABLE
He laid her on the table
So white, clean and bare
His forehead wet with beads of sweat
He rubbed her here and there
He touched her neck and then he felt her breast
And then drooling felt her thigh
The slit was wet and all was set
He gave a joyous cry
The hole was wide – he looked inside
All was dark and murky
He rubbed his hands and stretched his arms
And then he stuffed the turkey!
So what were you thinking!

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind killer.
Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear!
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn to see its path.
Where fear has gone, there will be nothing.
Only I will remain!

AN UNPLEASANT FACT!
There were 1605 road fatalities in 2006!
That's right 1605 dead Australians!
And not a single firearm in sight!
I think I will start a new pressure group,
"Car control Australia"
or perhaps,
"The coalition for car control"
I think our government should prioritise a little don't you!

Don't walk in front, because I may not follow
Don't walk behind, because I may not lead
Don't walk beside-Just bugger off!!!

Something a little Ghoulish.
The description of Saddam Hussein's execution.
If you have seen the mobile phone or the official video of this unpleasant event, you may be
curious to know what was said, this is it.

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) -- The scene was at once macabre and riveting.
One of the most notorious dictators of the late 20th century, his hands bound behind him, was led up the stairs of the gallows by masked men in leather coats. A few seconds later, a trapdoor snapped open and - with a crash - Saddam was dead.
He may have been the first chief of state executed in the age of the Internet and the camera phone. Probably because of that, his death was graphically documented on video, and available worldwide, within hours.
By several accounts, Saddam was calm but scornful of his captors, exchanging taunts and accusations with the crowd gathered to watch him die - insisting that he was Iraq's savoir, not its tyrant and scourge.
State television did not broadcast footage of the actual hanging. But camera phone video, posted in full or in part on several Web sites, picked up where the TV coverage left off.
In the videos, Saddam calmly recited verses from the Quran in a calm, clear voice as the trap door opened.
Finally, his body can be seen swinging in the dim light - his neck apparently snapped.
Saddam had reportedly asked that, as Iraq's commander in chief, he be sent before a firing squad. Instead, he was condemned to die on the gallows - as though he were a garden variety murderer.
The 69-year-old former president struggled briefly as the U.S. military, which had custody of Saddam, handed him over to the Iraqis, said Sami al-Askari, a political adviser to Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.
Saddam did not wear his familiar military uniform with its jaunty beret but a black coat over a white shirt, black trousers and black shoes. His jet black hair was carefully combed, his salt-and-pepper beard neatly clipped.
From that moment on, his last acts of defiance, it seems, consisted of verbal jousting and silent contempt.
Saddam was taken to a former military intelligence headquarters in Baghdad's Shiite neighbourhood of Kazimiyah, in northern Baghdad. During his regime, he had numerous dissidents executed in the facility.
Munir Haddad, an appeals court judge who witnessed the hanging, told the British Broadcasting Corp. that Saddam was not sedated.
"Not at all, Saddam was normal and in full control," Haddad said. "He was aware of his fate and he knew he was about to face death. He said, 'This is my end, this is the end of my life, but I started my life as a fighter and as a political militant so death does not frighten me.'"
After his captors brought Saddam into the execution chamber, his hands - which were tied in front of him - were untied, then tied in the back, Haddad told the BBC.
"He said we are going to heaven and our enemies will rot in hell and he also called for forgiveness and love among Iraqis but also stressed that the Iraqis should fight the Americans and the Persians," Haddad told the BBC.
The New York Times reported that Mowaffak al-Rubaie, the national security adviser for Iraq, stood next to Saddam before he mounted the scaffold, and asked him if he felt remorse and fear.
"No," the Times quoted Saddam saying. "I am a militant and I have no fear for myself. I have spent my life in jihad and fighting aggression. Anyone who takes this route should not be afraid."
Al-Rubaie told the Times that one of the guards grew angry. "You have destroyed us," he reportedly shouted. "You have killed us. You have made us live in destitution."
"I have saved you from destitution and misery and destroyed your enemies, the Persian and Americans," Saddam responded, al-Rubaie told the Times.
"God damn you," the guard said.
"God damn you," Saddam said, according to the Times.
A silent, minute-long video that aired on Iraqi television showed Saddam on the scaffold. He seemed to have little to say, and his eyes appeared lost in a 1,000-yard stare.
Four or five burly men guided him gently but firmly toward a red metal railing marking the trap door. A thick rope hung like a sinister vine from the low ceiling. An unseen photographer's flash created fleeting stark shadows.
With a blank expression, Saddam refused a black hood - but he did so with a shake of his head that seemed more distracted than defiant.
Then he appeared to agree to let one of his executioners tie a black scarf around his neck. The Times reported that his guards explained the rope could cut off his head, and offered to protect his neck with the scarf.
In the televised video, Saddam stood stoically as the noose was slipped over his head. The noose was tightened. Then the Iraqi TV footage ended.
But the camera phone video, broadcast in part on Al-Jazeera and aired in full on Arabic-language Web sites, continued.
In the video, one of those attending the execution called out praise for Dawa Party founder and Shiite cleric Mohammed Baqir al-Sadr, who was executed along with his sister by Saddam in 1980. The Islamic party has been locked in a fierce decades-old battle with Saddam's now outlawed secular Baath party. Muqtada al-Sadr, the powerful and radical Shiite cleric in Iraq, is a distant relative of the Dawa founder.
Saddam appeared to smile at those taunting him from below the gallows, and said they were not showing their manhood.
Then Saddam began reciting the "Shahada," a Muslim prayer that says there is no god but God and Muhammad is his messenger.
"Saddam did so but with sarcasm," Haddad said. But to others, Saddam's tone sounded calm and measured, neither sarcastic nor frightened.
Saddam made it to midway through his second recitation of the verse. His last word was Muhammad, according to a translation by the Associated Press.
The floor dropped out of the gallows, there was a crash and the chamber erupted in shouting.
"The tyrant has fallen," someone called. The video showed a close-up of Saddam's face as he swung from the rope.
Then came another voice: "Let him swing for three minutes."
Asked if Saddam suffered, Haddad told the BBC: "He was killed instantly, I witnessed the impact of the rope around his neck and it was a horrible sight."
Iraqi television broadcasts included a shaky image of the aftermath: a shot of what appeared to be Saddam's corpse, laid out on a hospital gurney, his head wrenched grotesquely to the right. His neck appeared to be bruised.
Saddam's half brother Barzan Ibrahim and Awad Hamed al-Bandar, the former chief justice of the Revolutionary Court, were originally scheduled to be hanged along with their former leader.
Iraqi officials, though, decided to reserve the occasion for Saddam alone.

Saddam hanging a fake!
Middle East tyrant found safe and well!

BILLY CONNOLLY'S CHAIN LETTER
Hello, my name is Billy and I suffer from guilt for not forwarding
50 billion fucking chain letters sent to me by people who actually believe if you send them on, a poor six year old girl in Scotland
with a breast on her forehead will be able to raise enough money to have
it removed before her redneck parents sell her to a travelling freak show.
And, do you honestly believe that Bill Gates is going to give you, and everyone to whom you send "his" email, $1000?
How stupid are we?!
Ooooh, looky here! If I scroll down this page and make a wish, I'll get laid by a model I just happen to run into the next day!
What a bunch of bullshit!!
Maybe the evil chain letter leprechauns will come into my house and
sodomize me in my sleep for not continuing a chain letter that was started by St Peter in 5AD and brought to this country by midget pilgrim stowaways on the Endeavour.
Fuck 'em!!
If you're going to forward something, at least send me something
mildly amusing.
I've seen all the "send this to 10 of your closest friends, and this poor, wretched excuse for a human being will somehow receive a nickel from some omniscient being" forwards about 90 times.
I don't fucking care!
Show a little intelligence and think about what you're actually contributing to by sending out these forwards. Chances are, it's our own unpopularity...
The point being?
If you get some chain letter that's threatening to leave you shagless or luckless for the rest of your life, delete it.
If it's funny, send it on.
Don't piss people off by making them feel guilty about a leper in Botswana with no teeth who has been tied to the arse of a dead elephant for 27 years and whose only salvation is the 5 cents per letter he'll receive if you
forward this email.
Now forward this to everyone you know!
Otherwise, tomorrow morning your underwear will turn carnivorous and will consume your genitals...
Have a nice day.
Billy Connolly
P.S: Send me 15 bucks and then fuck off!

A word to the wise,

Let's Play,
"My Porno Name!"
My adult film industry friends (of which I have none, unfortunately) tell me that if you want to get into the business you need a really catchy stage (bed/floor/wall/swinging-from-ceiling/back of car etc) name and the best way to do this is to take the name of your very first pet and the name of the first street you lived in,
put them both together and there you have it.
In my case I would be known as,
Funny-bunny-cuddles, Punchbowl!
("Oh-baby-baby-who's-your-daddy-Bitch!")
Not to awe inspiring is it...
My good lady wife would be known as,
Gizmo, Winsted.
The eldest son is,

And the youngest,

This is a silly, fun party game, give it a try some time.

Sex in the Kitchen…
She is standing in the kitchen preparing to boil eggs for breakfast.
He walks in.
She turns and says,
"You've got to make love to me this very moment!"
His eyes light up,
And he thinks,
"Well this is a different way to start the day!"
Not wanting to lose the moment, he embraces her and gives
his all on the kitchen table.
Afterwards she says,
"Thanks."
And returns to the stove.
More than a little puzzled he asks,
"What was that all about?"
She explains,
"The egg timer's broken."

Listen up Kid!
Use it or lose it!
Make it or take it!
Just don't whinge if no one will give it to you!

TEN REASONS WHY MEN PREFER GUNS TO WOMEN.
10. You can trade an old 44 for two new 22's.
9. You can keep one gun at home and have another for when you're on
     the road.
8. If you admire a friend's gun and tell him so, he will probably let
     you try it out a few times.
7. Your primary gun doesn't mind if you keep another gun for a
     backup.
6. Your gun will stay with you even if you run out of ammo.
5. A gun doesn't take up a lot of closet space.
4. Guns function normally every day of the month.
3. A gun doesn't ask, "Do these new grips make me look fat?"
2. A gun doesn't mind if you go to sleep after you use it.

And the number one reason a gun is favoured over a woman....

1. YOU CAN BUY A SILENCER FOR A GUN

bought. Apparently he is dead now...

The eve of the Roman feast of Lupercalia.
Naked youths would run through Rome, anointed with the blood of sacrificed dogs and goats, waving thongs cut from the goats.
If a young woman was struck by the thong, fertility was assured.
Pope Gelasius I decided this was all a bit too much, and co-opted the Roman holiday to be the Feast of St. Valentine in 484 A.D.
A wise decision.

Best mate:
A bloke stops to visit his mate who has a broken leg.
His friend says,
"My feet are cold, can you go and get me my slippers from upstairs please."
The guy goes upstairs, and there are his mate's
gorgeous twin 18 year old daughters.
"Hi, girls. Your dad sent me up here to shag you."
The first daughter says, "That's not true."
He says, "I'll prove it."
He yells down the stairs,
"Both of them?"
His mate yells back,
"Of course, both of them."

MAN: "Yes"

It's only $1,000. Is it OK if I buy it?"
MAN: "Sure, ...go ahead if you like it that much."
WOMAN: "I also stopped by the Mercedes dealership and saw the New
2005 models. I saw one I really liked..."
MAN: "How much?"
WOMAN: "$75,000"
MAN: "OK, but for that price I want it with all the options."
WOMAN: "Great! Oh, and one more thing....the house we wanted Last
year is back on the market. They're now only asking $1350,000"
MAN: "Well, then go ahead and give them an offer, but just offer
$1250,000 and see how we go."
WOMAN: "OK. I'll see you later! I love you!"

And now, as a public serves, to all you long suffering owners of Mauser-Vergueiros,
Stripping and Assembly of the M1904 Bolt:
The complex nature of the M1904 Bolt and its difficult striping and reassembly process conducive to the loss of parts, contributed significantly to the demise of this Rifle as a Service Arm with the Union of South Africa, Defence Force.
UDF Troops are documented as arriving on Parade with disassembled Bolts and their parts tied in a handkerchief and many surviving Rifles today are found with replacement Bolts, or the Safety flag having been replaced, as was easily lost.
Today, many M1904 owners rather do not strip the Bolt assembly, or, hand this job to a competent Gunsmith.
Although delicate and complicated the task of stripping and re-assembling these Bolts can easily be undertaken by the average owner and a set of instructions is published here to assist in this.

- Check Rifle is empty and safe.

- Pull out Bolt stop on left rear of receiver and slide Bolt assembly out to the rear.

- The Bolt assembly must be cocked for disassembly.

To disassemble the Bolt assembly:

1) Turn cocking piece at rear of the Bolt assembly counter clockwise, (Seen from behind) 90 degrees. This will lower the cocking piece forward to the "uncocked" or "fired" position in the back of the Bolt barrel.

2) Rotate the Bolt face at front of the Bolt assembly clockwise through 90 degrees so that ejector slot of the Bolt face is aligned with the un-slotted blot lug on the Bolt barrel.

3) The cocking piece is now free to slide to the rear, remove and place aside.

4) Now rotate the Bolt face counter clock wise 270 degrees to align the slotted lug in the Bolt face with the guide rib on the Bolt barrel.

Be aware that the Bolt-face is spring loaded and will release forward if not contained.

5) Remove Bolt face forward and extract firing pin and spring to the front.

Reassembly is roughly in reverse:

1) Place spring and firing pin in Bolt-body. Add Bolt-face noting the keyway for the firing pin on the inside of the Bolt-face forks.

2) With slotted lug on Bolt-face aligned with the Bolt-rib the firing pin is pressed back into the Bolt-body with pressure on the Bolt-face.

Pressing down, rotate Bolt-head until slotted Bolt-face lug is aligned with the unslotted lug on the Bolt-body.

3) Replace the cocking-piece at the rear down to the "uncocked" position.

4) Now rotate the Bolt-head 90 degrees counter clockwise until resistance is felt.

5) Grab Bolt-head in one hand and cocking piece in the other (for right-handed persons use; left forward and right rear).

6) Pull back on the cocking piece while rotating both the Bolt-head and cocking-piece 90 degrees clock wise until the slotted Bolt-head lug is aligned with the slotted Bolt-body lug and the cocking-piece is in the "cocked" position.

Note that because the Bolt-face must be attached to the firing pin before the cocking piece can be added, it is not possible to fire the Rifle with the Bolt-head missing.

A naughty joke from Ian
Frank was excited about his new rifle, and decided to try bear hunting.
He spotted a small brown bear and shot it. There was then a tap on his
shoulder, and he turned round to see a big black bear.
The black bear said, "That was my cousin, and you've got two choices.
Either I maul you to death or we have sex."
After considering briefly, Frank decided to accept the latter
alternative. Even though he felt sore for two weeks, Frank soon
recovered and vowed revenge.
He headed out on another trip where he found the black bear and shot it.
There was another tap on his shoulder. This time a huge grizzly bear stood
right next to him.
The grizzly said, "That was a huge mistake, Frank. That was my cousin
and you've got two choices.
Either I maul you to death or we have rough sex."
Again, Frank thought it was better to cooperate.
Although he survived, it would take several months before Frank finally
recovered.
Outraged, he headed back to the woods, managed to track
down the grizzly and shot it.
He felt sweet revenge, but then there was a tap on his shoulder. He turned
round to find a giant Kodiak bear standing there.
The bear said, "Admit it, Frank, you don't come here for the hunting,
do you...

Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.
The Force shall free me.

Lets Play,
THE BLAME GAME!
Ok, let's see if I understand how the world works now days...
If a man cuts his finger off while slicing salami at work,
he blames the restaurant.
If you smoke three packs a day for 40 years and die of
lung cancer, your family blames the tobacco company.
If your neighbour crashes into a tree while driving home drunk, he blames the bartender.
If children are brats without manners, you blame television and pop-culture.
If your friend is shot by a deranged madman, you blame
the gun manufacturer.
And if a crazed person breaks into the cockpit and tries
to kill the pilot at 35,000 feet, and the passengers kill him instead, the mother of the deceased blames the airline.
I must have lived too long to understand the world as it
is anymore!
So, if I die while my old, wrinkled backside is parked in front of this computer, I want you to sue the Ass of
Bill Gates!

"The Armalite AR10"
I bet you don't know about the sculdugery that went on behind the scenes concerning the AR10 Vs M14 during the US small arms trials!
The Armalite entry was deliberately sabotaged by unreasonable official demands, for example the testing board demanded that the AR10 use a light steel barrel which they new would blow the gun up thus forcing Armalite out of the contest, the same modification was not demanded of the M14, cute!
In a nut shell, Springfield armoury said they could produce the M14 on existing M1 Garand machinery with minimal retooling and expense, they lied! And ultimately Springfield armoury was closed down
by the US government.

"The gun has played a critical role in history. An Invention which has been praised and denounced, served hero and villain alike... and carries with it great moral responsibility.
To understand the gun is to better understand history."

Political Correctness represses leader ship, is the crippler of decision making and the destroyer of free speech!
And is the bastion of the mediocre and misinformed
the unimaginativeand bombastic despot and the coward!
In other words, the GREENS!

A police officer pulls a man over for speeding.
As the officer approaches the car he can see that the man
is very anxious about something.
"Good afternoon Sir. Do you know why I stopped you?"
"Yes, officer... I know I was speeding--
but it is a matter of life or death."
"Oh, really? How's that?"
"There's a naked woman waiting for me at home."
"I don't see how that is a matter of life or death."
"If I don't get home before my wife does, I'm a dead man."
Thank you John P for this cultural offering.

Esther and Morris and the Helicopter.
ESTHER ALWAYS REPLIED, "I KNOW MORRIS BUT THAT HELICOPTER RIDE IS 50 DOLLARS, AND 50 DOLLARS IS 50 DOLLARS."
ONE YEAR, ESTHER AND MORRIS WENT TO THE FAIR, AND MORRIS SAID, "ESTHER I'M 85 YEARS OLD. IF I DON'T RIDE THAT HELICOPTER, I MIGHT NEVER GET ANOTHER CHANCE."
ESTHER REPLIED, "MORRIS
