This kind of violence is repugnant, and completely sick.
Presumably now that the word is out of the Brits shooting down an 8 year old
stone cold, there's going to be more vigilanty violence to come. God help
us all, when the world is reduced to this kind of tit-for-tat vigilantism.
The killing of innocents whatever their religion is not on.
Whatever happened to human brotherhood??

Was this old Kai tak or the new airport. Wife got diverted to macau one August
returning from UK, a plane upside down on the runway only about six months
after the new airport opened. It was caused by windsheer associated with a
nearby typhoon. Shit i think I won't bother about going this year!

husband and wife are getting ready for bed.
The wife is standing in front of a full-length mirror
taking a hard look at herself.
"You know, dear," she says, "I look in the mirror, and I see an
old woman.
My face is all wrinkled, my boobs are barely above my waist, and
my butt is hanging out a mile.
I've got fat legs, and my arms are all flabby."
She turns to her husband and says, "Tell me something positive
to make me feel better about myself."
He thinks about it for a bit and then says in a soft, thoughtful
voice,
"Well, there's nothing wrong with your eyesight."

im not very good at jokes but here is one i just saw on our local (hull

A guy was standing in front of the gorilla cage at the zoo one day, when a
gust of wind swept some dust into his eye. As he rubbed his eyelid, the
gorilla went crazy, bent open the bars, and beat the guy senseless. When the
guy came to his senses, he reported the incident to the zookeeper. Nodding,
the zookeeper explained that pulling down your eyelid means "screw you" in
gorilla language. The explanation didn't make the victim feel any better -
and he vowed revenge. The next day, he purchased two large knives, two party
hats, two party horns, and a large sausage. Putting the sausage in his
pants, he hurried to the zoo and went right up to the gorilla's cage where
he opened up his bag of goodies. Knowing that gorillas were natural mimics,
he put on a party hat. The gorilla looked at him, reached through the bars,
grabbed a hat from the bag, and put it on. Next, the guy picked up his horn
and blew on it. The gorilla reached out, picked up his horn, and did the
same. Then the man picked up his knife, whipped the sausage out of his
pants, and sliced it in half. The gorilla looked at the knife, looked at his
own crotch, looked at the man, and pulled down his eyelid.

A dustman is going along a street picking up the wheely bins and
emptying them into his dustcart lorry. He gets to one house where
the bin hasn't been left out so he has a quick look for it, goes
round the back but still can't see it so he knocks on the door.
There's no answer so he knocks again. Eventually a Chinese bloke
answers...
"Harro", says the Chinese chap.
"Hallo mate, where's your bin?" asks the dustman
"I bin on toilet" replies the Chinese bloke, looking perplexed.
Realising the Chinese fellow has misunderstood, the binman
smiles and says "No mate, where's ya dustbin?"
"I told you, I dust bin on toilet" says the Chinese man
"Mate" says the dustman... "you're misunderstanding me... Where's

Well yer started once before so yer can do it again !
On the subject of paintin' there was a femail painter that went partially blind
but it was not a lost cause and getting treatment from a skilled surgeon her
sight was restored. As a gesture of thanks she did a huge futuristic painting
of a single eye and presented to the surgeon who mounted it in his surgery.
It was admired by another doctor who asked him what his reactions were to the
painting. "I can only thank god I'm not a gynecologist" He said!
