Subject: Fwd: Hear a Pin Drop?I've received this before, but it is worth reading again....-JFK'SSecretary of State, Dean Rusk, was in France in the early 60's whenDeGaulle decided to pull out of NATO. DeGaulle said he wanted all USmilitary out of France as soon as possible.Rusk responded,"Does that include those who are buried here?"DeGaulledid not respond.Youcould have heard a pin drop.When in England ,at a fairly large conference, Colin Powell was asked by theArchbishop of Canterbury if our plans for Iraq were just an example of'empire building' by George Bush.He answered by saying,"Over the years, the United States has sent many ofits fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedombeyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked forin return is enough to bury those that did notreturn."You could have heard a pin drop.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~There was a conference in Francewhere a number of international engineerswere taking part, including French and American. During a break,one of the French engineers came back into the room saying, "Have youheard the latest dumb stunt Bush has done? He has sent an aircraftcarrier to Indonesia to help the tsunami victims. What does heintend to do, bomb them?"A Boeing engineerstood up and replied quietly: "Our carriers have threehospitals on board that can treat several hundred people; they arenuclear powered and can supply emergency electrical power toshore facilities; they have three cafeterias with the capacity tofeed 3,000 people three meals a day, they can produce several thousandgallons of fresh water from sea water each day, and they carry half adozen helicopters for use in transporting victims and injured to andfrom their flight deck. We have eleven such ships;how many does France have?"You could have heard a pin drop.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~A U.S. Navy Admiralwas attending a naval conference that includedAdmirals from the U.S., English, Canadian, Australian and FrenchNavies At a cocktail reception, he found himself standing with a largegroup of officers that included personnel from most of those countries.Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks but aFrench admiral suddenly complained that, whereas Europeans learn manylanguages, Americans learn only English. He then asked, "Why is it thatwe always have to speak English in these conferences rather thanspeaking French?"Without hesitating,the American Admiral replied, "Maybe it's because theBrit's, Canadians, Aussie's and Americans arranged it so you wouldn'thave to speak German."You could have heard a pin drop.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~AND THIS STORY FITS RIGHT IN WITH THE ABOVE...Robert Whiting,an elderly gentleman of 83, arrived in Paris by plane.At French Customs, he took a few minutes to locate his passportin his carry on."You have been to France before, monsieur?" the customs officer askedsarcastically.Mr. Whitingadmitted that he had been to France previously."Then you should know enough to have your passport ready."The American said,"The last time I was here, I didn't have to show it.""Impossible..Americans always have to show their passports on arrival in France !"The American seniorgave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then hequietly explained, ''Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in1944 to help liberate this country, I couldn't find a single Frenchmento show a passport to."You could have heard a pin drop.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~If you are proud to be an American, pass this on! If not, delete it.I am proud to be of this land, GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Marie
I loved each of these stories. Thanks for sharing.
Kris, drunk or sober? Maybe both? : )
Marie: Kris, drunk or sober? Maybe both? : )
Don't know Marie, I've never been drunk. High maybe...LOL
I should've said high, tipsy, feeling no pain, hammered, etc. Drunk was a poor choice of word. Hammered might be as well. Sorry Kris.
An Arizona couple, both well into their 80's, 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..' If this comes through I'll be surprised but here goes.He thanks them for coming, he wishes them good luck, he charges them $50 and he says good bye. The next week, the same 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 makes an appointment, has intercourse with no problems, pays the doctor, then leave. Finally, after 3 months of this routine, the doctor says, 'I'm sorry, but I have to ask. Just what are you trying to find out?' The man says, 'We're not trying to find out anything. She's married; so we can't go to her house. I'm married; and we can't go to my house. The Holiday Inn charges $98. The Hilton charges $139. We do it here for $50, and Medicare pays $43 of it, leaving my net cost of $7.
Well, I guess no one is watching the store!
Oh Marie you gave me a belly laugh!
