150 years ago, President Lincoln found it necessary to hire a private investigator - Alan Pinkerton for protection. That was the beginning of the Secret Service. Since that time, the federal government has produced a large number of multi-letter agencies such as: FBI, CIA, INS, IRS, DEA, BATF, etc., etc. Now we have the " Federal Air Transportation Airport Security Service ". Can't you see them now, these 'highly trained' men and women in their black outfits with jackets saying across their backs:

F. A. T. A. S. S.

The FATASS's are of course supervised by a special section of the Home Land Security Section known as: Airport Security Service Home Office Logistics Enhancement Section or the A.S.S.H.O.L.E.S .

Damn!...I feel safer already.

:D

You're reeeeeeeeeally stretching there, man.

Voted 2.

Streaching? This is streaching:

Bureau of US transportation for Unitedairlines central and key executives route staff.

There -is- stretching involved in that, yes, but what I mean is that it's a bad joke.

Ever the critic LTS :P

<3 :wink:

how about this for a bad joke:

Pavarotti is Standing at the pearly gates.

St Peter opens them and says 'Oh it's you Luciano, come on in. Squeeze through'.

Pavarotti says 'hold on, I've got an envelope for you, from the Pope."

St Peter opens it up and reads it.

'HERE'S THAT TENOR I OWE YOU'

boom boom! :D

...I don't get it.

Someone lock this thread.

:(

Luciano Pavarotti?

Too soon man, too soon.

I don't come up with these jokes LTS, just pass them around. I was interested to see that a joke had come out within a few days of his passing though.

The question is then: when is it no longer "too soon"?

On the bright side, I think Steve Irwin is fair game now.

my love

When asked about his favourite childhood programme, Steve Irwin replied 'Thunderbirds was great but there'll always be a place in my heart for Stingray.'
