Patriotic Duty

Ming · March 29, 2003, 04:35

My wife found this funny... so it seems to be worth a post....

As we all know, the Taliban considers it a sin for a man to see a naked
woman who is not his wife. So, next Saturday at 2:00 PM Eastern time all
American women are asked to walk out of their house completely naked to help
weed out any neighborhood terrorists. Circling your block for one hour is
recommended for this anti-terrorist effort.

All men are to position themselves in lawn chairs in front of their house to
prove they are not Taliban, demonstrate that they think it's okay to see
nude women other than their wife and to show support for all American women.

And since the Taliban also does not approve of alcohol, a cold six-pack at
your side is further proof of your antiquarian sentiment.

The American Government appreciates your efforts to root out terrorists and
applauds your participation in this anti-terrorist activity.

God bless America!
IT IS YOUR PATRIOTIC DUTY TO PASS THIS ON!

Too bad many hardcore Christians share the Taliban view on Nudity.

Ming · March 29, 2003, 04:41

I have my lawn chair and six pack of beer all ready...

it sounds good to me

Chemical Ollie · March 29, 2003, 04:43

This picture must make the Talibans mad. Their great leader, naked with a beer!

Ming · March 29, 2003, 04:47

Just doing my part... bring on the beer and naked ladies

Hmmm, how far is Seattle?

I saw one of these that tried to pass itself off as real. One wonders who made up the original.

TheBirdMan · March 29, 2003, 06:05

I have passed it on - even I'm not an american

OneFootInTheGrave · March 29, 2003, 06:41

I suggest to adopt this practice all over the world in order to weed out any terrorist groups, infact every first day of every month should be the anti-terrorist day I am sure that the coalition of unwilling would accept this drastic measure.

It should be the first Monday of the month that way we can have work / school off.

Great article Ming

Ming, how good looking can the housewives of illinois be?

(no offence to your wife, who i'm sure a dashing man klike yourself could land a beautiful one. i'm thinking of my aunt and her neighbors in Northbrook. yuck.)

Funny, I was just thinking how this could backfire, Uber. After all, not all American women are concentration camp victims with helium ballons stuck inside their chests. More than half the country is overweight.

Baring Witness

When in England at a fairly large conference, Colin Powell was asked by the Archbishop of Canterbury if our plans for Iraq were just an example of empire building by George Bush.

He answered by saying that, "Over the years, the United States has sent many of its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked for in return is enough to bury those that did not return."

It became very quiet in the room.

Well he ignored the US' westward expansion, the whole concept of Manifest Destiny, and how you can build socio-economic empires without occupying a land.

More than enough to make it a special day... Enough to want to go buy a 12 pack

Did Mrs Powell enter the room in "anti-taliban outfit"?

Ming · March 30, 2003, 05:59

Apparently they forgot about Manifest Destiny, as well as Guantanimo, Puerto Rico, the Canal Zone in Panama, the Philippines, Guam, Hawaii, Samoa, etc.

Why do people think that an empire has to have your flag flying over it. What we recognize today as parts of the Roman Empire were actually allied kingdoms. "British" India was largely made up of local principalities. Even when the US flag waved over almost the entire Carribean, we did not annex those countries. True, they may have been run by an American ambassador or military officer, but they were still officially independent countries.

Today the American empire stretches from one pole to the other in the Western hemisphere, interrupted only by a rebel holdout in Cuba and rings the Pacific. We penetrate Africa, have numerous outposts in the Indian Ocean, Middle East, and Central Asia, and despite Europe's balking at out most recent adventure, pretty well have Europe in our pocket. Just because we look like few empires in history before us doesn't mean we aren't history's greatest empire.

DeathByTheSword · March 30, 2003, 16:57

you know the problem with you americans? most of the time you think to big.....but ones in a while you think to small....

women should be ordered to wear nothing BUT a belt with beer around their waist...and every time a man sees a woman he should drink a beer to show he is ok with the naked women....

MRT144 · March 30, 2003, 17:20

some women will just have tons of beer and die from exhaustion of their fat asses hauling it around.

My wife was the one that pointed this out to me in the first place.

Yeah... she emailed it to a TON's of people... Rah and I were talking on Friday night when all of a sudden my wife started laughing so loud we had to check it out.

She read it to us... and started firing up her email list.
She found it in the Weight Watchers Forums...

And to chegitz guevara and others... take your serious discussions to one of the many other threads...

The only serious discussion I want in this thread is to how to make this happen

Lighten up guys...
