Maybe the defense department is coming to its senses that strategic
contracts need to stay within the US.

...and, hopefully, Europe and the rest of the world will do the same
by refusing to buy anything from the USA.



Well, since Europe has been largely riding on the coattails of the USA
defense umbrella since the end of World War II, that just might be a
workable answer...

Parts of Europe, maybe.

Britain has made a substantial contribution - I didn't see you in the
dead of night on the East - West German border in the 1960s!

No, you didn't. I was busy elsewhere on another continent.

You don't buy a wide guage train when the tracks are all narrow guage.

A couple, both well into their 80s, go to a sex therapist's office. The
doctor asks, 'What can I do for you?
The man says, 'Will you watch us have sexual intercourse?'
The doctor raises both eyebrows, but he is so amazed that such an
elderly couple is asking for sexual advice that he agrees.
When the couple finishes, the doctor says, 'There's absolutely nothing
wrong with the way you have intercourse. 'He thanks them for coming,
wishes them good luck, charges them £50, and says goodbye.
The next week, however, the couple returns and asks the sex therapist
to watch again. The sex therapist is a bit puzzled, but
agrees. This happens several weeks in a row. The couple make an
appointment, have intercourse with no problems, pay the doctor, then
leave.
Finally, after 5 or 6 weeks of this routine, the doctor says, 'I'm
sorry, but I have to ask. Just what are you trying to find out?'
The old man says, 'We're not trying to find out anything. She's married
and we can't go to her house. I'm married and we
can't go to my house. Travelodge charge £93. The Hilton charges £139.
We do it here for £50, and I get £43 back from Bupa.'

Any time you want a piece of software, you have to get a special
version (and no I won't use the emulator).

I get tons of those "sex kitten" invitations a day in the mail. I sent them to a gent I know who has yet to explore the, err, "fullness" of the Internet. He sent this reply:
"I must say I am totally SHOCKED that you would even consider sending me such smut over the ether waves...You must think I'm some sort of pathetic, sex-starved computer geek with nothing better to do with my time than to spend it looking at pictures of half naked beautiful, young, uninhibited, free-thinking, pert-breasted, flat-tummied, trim thighed, hard-nippled, pouty-lipped, cyber sluts. All I can say is THANK YOU VERY MUCH!"
