The CIA had an opening for an assassin.
After all of the background checks,
interviews, and testing were done there
were three finalists — two men and one
woman. For the final test, the CIA
agents took one of the men to a large
metal door and handed him a gun.
“We must know that you will follow
your instructions, no matter what the
circumstances. Inside this room you will
find your wife sitting in a chair. You
have to kill her.” The first man
said.“You can’t be serious. I could
never shoot my wife,”
The agent replies, “Then you’re not
the right man for this job."
The second man was given the same
instructions. He took the gun and went
into the room. All was quiet for about
five minutes. Then the agent came out
with tears in his eyes. “I tried, but I
can’t kill my wife.” The agent replies,
“You don’t have what it takes. Take your
wife and go home.”
Finally, it was the woman’s turn.
Only she was told to kill her husband.
She took the gun and went into the room.
Shots were heard, one shot after
another. They heard screaming, crashing,
banging on the walls. After a few
minutes, all was quiet. The door opened
slowly and there stood the woman. She
wiped the sweat from her brow and said,
“You guys didn’t tell me the gun was
loaded with blanks. So I had to beat him
to death with the chair.”
And occasionally may contain a

The
Louisiana State Department of Fish and
Wildlife is advising hikers, hunters,
fishermen, and golfers to take extra
precautions and keep alert for
alligators..
They advise people to wear
noise-producing devices such as "little
bells" on their clothing to alert, but
not startle the alligators,
unexpectedly.
They also advise the carrying of "pepper
spray" in case of an encounter with an
alligator. It's also a good idea to
watch for fresh signs of alligator
activity and be able to recognize the
difference between young alligator and
adult alligator droppings.
Young alligator droppings are small,
contain fish bones and possibly bird
feathers.
Adult alligators droppings have little
bells in them and smell like pepper.
The future
A son asked his dad for help with a
school report and his father quickly
consented. So the son asks "What is
politics?"
The dad thought for a second. "Well,
let's take our home for example. I am
the wage earner, so let's call me
'George Bush.' Your mother handles the
money, so we'll call her 'Alan
Greenspan.' We take care of your needs,
so we'll call you 'the People.' We'll
call the maid 'the Working Class,' and
your baby brother we can call 'the
Future.' Do you understand, son?"
The son said "I don't understand." So
the father told him to go think about it
for a while.
That night, awakened by his baby
brother's crying, the boy went to see
what was wrong. Discovering that the
baby had seriously soiled his diaper,
the boy went to his parents' room and
found his mother sound asleep. He went
to the maid's room where, peeking
through the keyhole, he saw his father
in bed with the maid. The boy returned
to his room and went back to sleep.
The next morning, he told his Dad, "I
think I understand what politics is."
"Good! Can you explain it to me in your
own words?"
"Well, while George Bush is screwing the
Working Class, Alan Greenspan is sound
asleep, so the People are being
completely ignored and the Future is
full of crap."
