well you can figure that will happen...its one of those Murphy's Laws. speaking of Murphy's Laws check out this site http://dmawww.epfl.ch/roso.mosaic/dm/murphy.html Link

Here's my favorite: It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious.

Murphy's Military Laws

1. Never share a foxhole with anyone braver than you are.
2. No battle plan ever survives contact with the enemy.
3. Friendly fire ain't.
4. The most dangerous thing in the combat zone is an officer with a map.
5. The problem with taking the easy way out is that the enemy has already mined it.
6. The buddy system is essential to your survival; it gives the enemy somebody else to shoot at.
7. The further you are in advance of your own positions, the more likely your artillery will shoot short.
8. Incoming fire has the right of way.
9. If your advance is going well, you are walking into an ambush.
10. The quartermaster has only two sizes, too large and too small.
11. If you really need an officer in a hurry, take a nap.
12. The only time suppressive fire works is when it is used on abandoned positions.
13. The only thing more accurate than incoming enemy fire is incoming friendly fire.
14. There is nothing more satisfying that having someone take a shot at you, and miss.
15. Don't be conspicuous. In the combat zone, it draws fire. Out of the combat zone, it draws sergeants.
16. If your sergeant can see you, so can the enemy.

Some good ones for the Militaristic of us.

Put those little kiddies away look at this one:

Sex is like snow; you never know how many inches you are going to get or how long it is going to last.

Sex is hereditary. If your parents never had it, chances are you won't either.

Sorry...I couldn't resist

what the hell! barring artificial insemination, what the hell!

well...true that but you missing the underlining clause here...that sex is hereditary

                      
#1130  by Veteran the 3rd child - 3/17/2004 10:23:51 PM

yes but i also suppose if your parents didn't have sex or artificial insemination you also don't EXSIST to have sex either

                      
#1131  by Veteran DarkAssassin - 3/17/2004 10:26:31 PM

i believe that would be the point

                      
#1132  by Veteran DarkAssassin - 3/17/2004 10:28:50 PM

i also believe that the one before that is the best...sex is like snow

i can't get any more honest than that

Ahem! Gentlemen, the last several pages of this thread are not what I expect to see (or enjoy, for that matter). Not to be a spoil sport, but is there some other topic we could discuss--like the NCAA championship picks or...well...anything??

I hope you understand.

                          
#1134  by Citizen amulekbird - 3/17/2004 10:43:33 PM

Oh, by the way, MoC, I happen to be an officer in the military. I loved the Murphy's laws (OK, so there was a post I liked ).

                          
#1135  by Citizen Kazzryl - 3/17/2004 10:55:07 PM

Thanks Amulek

                        
#1136  by Citizen Embird - 3/17/2004 10:57:12 PM

He He He He.

I see my evil plan worked...never fails.
You men. One track minds. Disgusting.

For ABL.
I love uniforms.

I got some real bargains at Big W a few hours ago.
The summer is coming to an end and all the summer clothes and shoes...did I say shoes, are on sale.
SALE! Eyes glaze over. Adrenaline rush.

The summer is coming to an end


That just sounds so weird with spring around the corner for me.

You people "living downunder" are a wierd bunch.
It's a wonder you don't fall off the planet.

                      
#1139  by Citizen amulekbird - 3/17/2004 11:13:05 PM

Occasionally, we do. But we come back down to earth and keep on going. And now, to really put perspective, I'm going to bed. Good night, all.

Amulek is right. Enough of the thinly-veiled double-entendre. Let's be diplomatic once more.

Sweet Jebus! Am I in the Guardians thread? Where did all these freakin' posts come from? You are almost as talkative as US. Stop that!


          
#1142  by Veteran DarkAssassin - 3/18/2004 12:05:24 AM

You men. One track minds. Disgusting.


admit it you thought it was funny.

you just won't justify our perversions with an adequate response.

my many apologizes amulek, however i was merely extending my hands towards that which was already said.

Wow!
My unique banner ID# has won today's contest. I just need to click the OK button to claim my prize.

Of course it was.

My comment was intended to be funny as well.

It was my fault that the conversation went along the lines it did.

I will keep quiet, or talk about the weather...or shopping in future.

That used to be my desktop wallpaper.

So ... what's better than shopping?

Very impressive.
Looks exactly like Gal Civ.

No way. You tempter.
