In the spirit of RestoRod's post on Seniors...Drafting Guys over 60----this is funny and obviously written by a Former Soldier..

New Direction for any war:
Send Service Vets over 60!

I am over 60 and the Armed Forces thinks I'm too old to track down terrorists. You can't be older than 42 to join the military. They've got the whole thing ass-backwards. Instead of sending 18-year olds off to fight, they ought to take us old guys. You shouldn't be able to join a military unit until you're at least 35.

For starters: Researchers say 18-year-olds think about sex every 10 seconds. Old guys only think about sex a couple of times a day, leaving us more than 28,000 additional seconds per day to concentrate on the enemy.

Young guys haven't lived long enough to be cranky, and a cranky soldier is a dangerous soldier. 'My back hurts! I can't sleep, I'm tired and hungry' We are impatient and maybe letting us kill some asshole that desperately deserves it will make us feel better and shut us up for a while.

An 18-year-old doesn't even like to get up before 10 a.m. Old guys always get up early to pee so what the hell. Besides, like I said, 'I'm tired and can't sleep and since I'm already up, I may as well be up killing fanatical s-o-b's....

If captured we couldn't spill the beans because we'd forget where we put them. In fact, name, rank, and serial number would be a real brainteaser...

Boot camp would be easier for old guys. We're used to getting screamed and yelled at and we're used to soft food.. We've also developed an appreciation for guns.. We've been using them for years as an excuse to get out of the house, away from the screaming and yelling.
They could lighten up on the obstacle course however. I've been in combat and didn't see a single 20-foot wall with rope hanging over the side, nor did I ever do any 20 pushups after completing basic training.

Actually, the running part is kind of a waste of energy, too. I've never seen anyone outrun a bullet.

An 18-year-old has the whole world ahead of him. He's still learning to shave, to start up a conversation with a pretty girl. He still hasn't figured out that a baseball cap has a brim to shade his eyes, not the back of his head.

These are all great reasons to keep our kids at home to learn a little more about life before sending them off into harm's way.

Let us old guys track down those dirty rotten coward terrorists. The last thing an enemy would want to see is a couple of million pissed off old farts with attitudes and automatic weapons who know that their best years are already behind them.

***How about recruiting Women over 50 ...with PMS... or in Menopause...!!! You think Men have attitudes !!! Ohhhhhhhhhhhh my God!!!

If nothing else, put us on border patrol.....we will have it secured the first night!
Share this with your senior friends. It's purposely in big type so they can read it.

Is Texas great state or what? (I doubt this is true but it certainly is entertaining)


In Texas , a woman was called in front of a grand jury for possible manslaughter charges after she shot a mugger in the back six times as he was running away with her purse.

He had grabbed her purse and ran. She had her hand on her gun inside the purse and when he ran with the purse she was left holding just the gun.

When asked by the grand jury why she shot him six times, in the back as he was running, under oath she replied:

"Because when I pulled the trigger the 7th time, it only went click."

She was acquitted of all charges.

That's the way it is in Texas .

...........AND THAT'S HOW THE FIGHT STARTED :

One year, a husband decided to buy his mother-in-law a cemetery plot as a Christmas gift.
The next year, he didn't buy her a gift.
When she asked him why, he replied, "Well, you still haven't used the gift I bought you last year!"
And that's how the fight started.....

*** ********* ********* ********* ********* ********* ********* ******


My wife walked into the den & asked "Whats on the TV?"
I replied "Dust".
And that's how the fight started.....

*** ********* ********* ********* ********* ********* ********* ******

A woman is standing nude, looking in the bedroom mirror.
She is not happy with what she sees and says to her husband, 'I feel horrible; I look old, fat and ugly.
I really need you to pay me a compliment.'
The husband replies, 'Your eyesight's damn near perfect.'
And that's how the fight started.....

**** ********* ********* ********* ********* ********* ********* ******
My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary..
She said, 'I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 200 in about 3 seconds.
I bought her a scale.
And that's how the fight started.....

**** ********* ********* ********* ********* ********* ********* ******
I asked my wife, 'Where do you want to go for our anniversary?'
It warmed my heart to see her face melt in sweet appreciation.
'Somewhere I haven't been in a long time!' she said.
So I suggested, 'How about the kitchen?'
And that's when the fight started.

***** ********* ********* ********* ********* ********* ********* *****
When I got home last night, my wife demanded that I take her someplace expensive.
So, I took her to a gas station.
And that's when the fight started.....

**** ********* ********* ********* ********* ********* ********* ******
I tried to talk my wife into buying a case of Miller Light for $14.95.
Instead, she bought a jar of cold cream for $7.95..
I told her the beer would make her look better at night than the cold cream.
And that's when the fight started.....

**** ********* ********* ********* ********* ********* ********* ******
My wife and I were sitting at a table at my high school reunion, and I kept staring at a drunken lady
swigging her drink as she sat alone at a nearby table.
My wife asked, 'Do you know her?'
'Yes,' I sighed, 'She's my old girlfriend.
I understand she took to drinking right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear she hasn't been sober since.'
'My God!' says my wife. 'Who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?'
And that's when the fight started...

**** ********* ********* ********* ********* ********* ********* ******

I took my wife to a restaurant.
The waiter, for some reason, took my order first.
'I'll have the strip steak, medium rare, please.'
The waiter said, 'Aren't you worried about the mad cow?'
'Nah, she can order for herself.'

And that's how the fight got started....

**** ********* ********* ********* ********* ********* ********* ******

Saturday morning I got up early, quietly dressed, made my lunch, grabbed the dog, and slipped quietly into the garage.
I hooked up the boat to the truck, and proceeded to back out into a torrential downpour. The wind was blowing 50 mph,
so I pulled back into the garage, turned on the radio, and discovered that the weather would be bad all day. I went back
into the house, quietly undressed, and slipped back into bed. I cuddled up to my wife's back, now with a different anticipation,
and whispered, 'The weather out there is terrible.' My loving wife of 10 years replied, 'Can you believe my stupid husband
is out fishing in that?'

And that's how the fight got started.....

WHERE TO RETIRE

Mike was attending his 4X4 club's monthly meeting and had just told them
he couldn't make the upcoming camping trip because his wife wouldn't let
him go.

After listening to the jeers and other derisive remarks from his fellow
4X4 friends Mike left to go home to his wife.

When Mike's friends started arriving to set up camp the following week
who should be there but Mike sitting up in front of his truck, tent up ,
fishing rod in hand, camp oven roast stewing away in a hot bed of
coals..

"How did ya talk your wife into letting you go Mike?"

"I didn't have to" was Mike's reply.

"When I left the meeting I went home and slumped down in my chair with a
beer to drown my sorrows. Then my wife snuck up behind me and covered
my eyes and said, surprise!!

When I peeled her hands back she was standing there in a beautiful see
through negligee and she said, "Carry me into the bedroom, tie me to the
bed and you can do whatever you want."

So Here I am!

I'VE GOT YOUR MAMA

Little Johnny came into the kitchen where his mother was making dinner.
His birthday was coming up and he thought this was a good time to tell
his mother what he wanted. "Mom, I want a bike for my
birthday." Little Johnny was a bit of a troublemaker. He had gotten
into trouble at school and at home.

Johnny's mother asked him if he thought he deserved to get a bike for
his birthday. Little Johnny, of course, thought he did. Johnny's mother,
being a Christian woman, wanted Johnny to reflect on his behavior over
the last year. "Go to your room, Johnny, and think about how you have
behaved this year. Then write a letter to God and tell him why you
deserve a bike for your birthday."

Little Johnny stomped up the steps to his room and sat down to write
God a letter.

Letter 1

Dear God:

I have been a very good boy this year and I would like a bike for my
birthday. I want a red one. Your friend, Johnny

Johnny knew that this wasn't true. He had not been a very good boy this
year, so he tore up the letter and started over.

Letter 2

Dear God:

This is your friend, Johnny. I have been a pretty good boy this year
and I would like a red bike for my birthday. Thank you. Your friend,
Johnny

Johnny knew that this wasn't true, either. So, he tore up the letter
and started again.

Letter 3

Dear God:

I have been an "OK" boy this year. I still would really like a red bike
for my birthday. Thank you, Johnny

Johnny knew he could not send this letter to God either. So, Johnny
wrote another letter.

Letter 4

God, I know I haven't been a good boy this year. I am very sorry. I
will be a good boy if you just send me a red bike for my birthday.
Please! Thank you, Johnny

Johnny knew, even if it was true, this letter was not going to get him
a bike. By now, Johnny was very upset. He went downstairs and told his
Mom that he wanted to go to church.

Johnny's mother thought her plan had worked as Johnny looked very sad.
"Just be home in time for dinner," Johnny's mother told him.

Johnny walked down the street to the church on the corner. Little
Johnny went into the church and up to the altar. He looked around to see
if anyone was there. Johnny bent down and picked up a statue of the
Virgin Mary. He slipped it under his shirt and ran out of the church,
down the street, into the house, and up to his room. He shut the door to
his room and sat down with a piece of paper and a pen.

Johnny began to write his letter to God.

Letter 5

God, I'VE GOT YOUR MAMA. IF YOU WANT TO SEE HER AGAIN, SEND THE BIKE.
Signed, YOU KNOW WHO

One Sunday, in counting the money in the weekly offering, the Pastor of a small church found a pink envelope containing $1,000. It happened again the next week!

The following Sunday, he watched as the offering was collected and saw an elderly woman put the distinctive pink envelope on the plate. This went on for weeks until the pastor, overcome by curiosity,approached her.

'Ma'am, I couldn't help but notice that you put $1,000 a week in the collection plate, he stated.

'Why yes, she replied, every week my son sends me money and I give some of it to the church'

The pastor replied, 'That's wonderful. But $1000 is a lot, are you sure you can afford this? How much does he send you?'

The elderly woman answered, $10,000 a week.'

The pastor was amazed, your son is very successful; what does he do for a living?

'He is a veterinarian, she answered.

'That's an honorable profession, but I had no idea they made that much money, the pastor said.
'Where does he practice?'

The woman answered proudly, in Nevada , he has two cat houses, one in Las Vegas , and one in Reno .
