#1 "A shoot-on-sight order was issued"

Can we get one at our southern border?

Howzabout one in a certain mid-Atlantic area that will probably get me sinktrapped if I name it?

If such an announcement were made with much Washington fanfare, it would stop illegal immigration, drug flow, and human slavery. There is much ado about slavery 150 years ago from Washington politicians and bureaucrats and various civil rights groups, but little about slavery coming in from Mexico. There seems to be little concern about muslim trafficking in slavery today.

#4 More than 70,000 bullets were fired.

Gilgit has seen a spree of target killings over the past four days.

They must really lousy shots.

#5 "Stearmans, Fokkers ???"

Besoeker, that reminded me of the punchline to an old joke (it works better when you say it, with a German accent):

"Ja, ja, das ist true - aber deese Fokkers vas Messerschmidts!"

/bad, but funny, joke :-D

#7 One of my personal favorites was done by Hansi, the famous soldier, painter, and cartoonist from Colmar, France. It was of a German infantryman marching out of Framce following the armistice. Smiling broadly and puffing on a long Bavarian pipe, the old German had a huge French clock strapped to his back and various other pieces plunder from the Alcase hanging from his kit.
