Don't arguments that started over the military fast food thing belong in the military fast food thread?

What's the big deal? Let 'em have at it. Don't read it if you don't like it. My favorite unwritten rule, knocked into my skull some time ago.

"Well, when I hit new threads it's always there..." Yeah, well I get sick of word association too.

That's the rule. If you point out someone's misssssstake, your post is going to include a mistake of your own. I'm just following the rules *trying to dance out of this one*

OK, two Dwellars walked into a bar. The first guy looked at the other one and said "Are you the man who shot my paw?" and the other one put his paw on the counter and said "that's one" and the other one replied "why the long face?"

This happened back in the pioneer days. A farmer has advertised for a wife, a woman writes back and eventually appears at the train station at the closest town. The farmer goes to pick her up at the station in his horse drawn wagon.

As the horse is crossing a small stream, it stumbles and jostles the wagon. Once across the stream, the man gets down, walks over to the horse, and stares into its eyes. Finally, he states, "That's one." The man gets back in and they continue their ride.

A bit further down the path, the horse stumbles when stepping over a fallen tree. The man gets out, stares the horse in the eyes, and boldly states, "That's two!" He gets back in and they move on.

As the afternoon sun began to set, the horse once again loses its footing on a mossy slope. The man gets down, goes to the front of the horse he stares it in the eyes and firmly says, "That's three," removes a pistol from his vest, and shots the horse dead.

The woman, quite upset at seeing the beautiful horse killed, says, "That's terrible, why would you do such a thing!"

The man stares at his wife and firmly says, "That's one!"
It's not really a funny joke, but "That's one" has stuck in my head.

That supports the "three strikes and you're banned" interpretation.
