Well, they've just given FEMA Boss Brown the boot from the Katrina effort, so let's hope the revolving door just keeps on spinning!

Musical Joke (slightly aged...)

After Quasimodo's death, the bishop of the Cathedral of Notre Dame sent word through the streets of Paris that a new bell ringer was needed. The bishop decided that he would conduct the interviews personally and went up into the belfry to begin the screening process.

After observing several applicants demonstrate their skills, he had decided to call it a day. Just then, an armless man approached him and announced that he was there to apply for the bell ringer's job.

The bishop was incredulous. "You have no arms!".

"No matter," said the man. "Observe!" And he began striking the bells with his face, producing a beautiful melody on the carillon. The bishop listened in astonishment; convinced he had finally found a replacement for Quasimodo.

But suddenly, rushing forward to strike a bell, the armless man tripped and plunged headlong out of the belfry window to his death in the street below. The stunned bishop rushed to his side. When he reached the street, a crowd had gathered around the fallen figure, drawn by the beautiful music they had heard only moments before. As they silently parted to let the bishop through, one of them asked, "Bishop, who was this man?".

"I don't know his name," the bishop sadly replied, "but his face rings a bell."

WAIT! WAIT! There's more . . .

The following day, despite the sadness that weighed heavily on his heart due to the unfortunate death of the armless campanologist, the bishop continued his interviews for the bell ringer of Notre Dame.

The first man to approach him said, "Your Excellency, I am the brother of the poor armless wretch that fell to his death from this very belfry yesterday. I pray that you honour his life by allowing me to replace him in this duty."

The bishop agreed to give the man an audition, and, as the armless man's brother stooped to pick up a mallet to strike the first bell, he groaned, clutched at his chest, twirled around, and died on the spot.

Two monks, hearing the bishop's cries of grief at this second tragedy, rushed up the stairs to his side. "What has happened? Who is this man?" the first monk asked breathlessly.

"I don't know his name," sighed the distraught bishop, "but........He's a dead ringer for his brother".

BOOM! BOOM!

From the box last night: I walked past a loaf of bread and thought I saw your name on it - but when I went back it said 'thick cut'.

I have seen this clip and there is actually another one floating around out there. It is the same room with the same gun, only the person shooting it looks to be a European or an American. He does the same thing, fires the gun and takes a headlong into the glass door behind him. If I find it, I post the link.

Well, if I was going to loot, I'd certainly try to loot something I don't get everyday.
Betcha they're aren't any cigs around though--all wet!

Thanks, but I could have done without the "translation"

Just an explaination would have sufficed, but I understand now.

see you next tuesday? its much easier to just say cunt. as much as people dont like the word, thats what it is. and from the "how old is everyone" thread, everyone is at a mature age to not go running around a public area saying "cunt! cunt! cunt!....".

its just a word.
