Hillary Clinton goes to a primary school in New York to talk about the world. After her talk she offers a question time.
One little boy puts up his hand. The Senator asks him what his name is.
"Kenneth," the boy replies. "And what is your question, Kenneth?" "I have three questions:
"First - whatever happened to the medical health care plan you were paid to develop during your husband's eight years in the office as President?
"Second - why would you run for President after your husband shamed the office?
"Third - whatever happened to all those things you took when you left the White House?"
Just then the bell rings for recess. Hillary Clinton informs the kids that they will continue after recess.
When they resume, Hillary says, "Okay, where were we? Oh, that's right, question time Who has a question?"
A different little boy puts his hand up. Hillary points him out and asks him what his name is.
"Larry.

Mike was going to be married to Karen, so his father sat him down for a little fireside chat......He says, "Mike, let me tell you something. On my wedding night in our honeymoon suite, I took off my pants and handed them to your mother and said, ‘Here - try these on’. She did and said, ‘These are too big, I can't wear them.’ I replied, ‘Exactly. I wear the pants in this family and I always will’. Ever since that night we have never had any problems."
"Hmmm," says Mike. He thinks that might be a good thing to try. On his honeymoon, Mike takes off his pants and says to Karen, "Here try these on." She does and says, "These are too large, they don't fit me."
Mike says, "Exactly. I wear the pants in this family and I always will. And I don't want you to ever forget that."
Then Karen takes off her panties and hands them to Mike and says, "Here you try on mine."
He does and says, "I can't get into your panties."
Karen says, "Exactly. And if you don't change your smart ass attitude, you never will." _______________________________

Hat Tip to "Charlie the Cop" and Sue Gertson fer a couple of these....
OSLO (Feb. 27) - The fossil of a 50 ft. long "sea monster" found in Arctic Norway was the biggest of its kind known to science with dagger-like teeth in a mouth large enough to bite a small car, researchers said on Wednesday.
Norwegian scientists said Wednesday they found a 50 ft. fossil of a pliosaur. The creature, seen here in an artist's rendering, had a mouth filled with dagger-like teeth the size of cucumbers and could have swallowed a small car. The fearsome predator terrorized the seas in the Jurassic era.
The 150-million year old dinosaur-era pliosaur, a fierce marine reptile, was about16 ft. 5 in. longer than the previous pliosaur record holder found in Australia.
"It's a new species and the biggest proven pliosaur," Joern Hurum, a paleontologist at the Natural History Museum in Oslo who led the expedition to dig up the fossil on the archipelago of Svalbard 800 miles from the North Pole.
"A small car could fit inside its mouth," he told Reuters, adding the lower jaw was about 10 ft long.
"Something like a Morris Minor would fit perfectly."
The Museum said that pliosaurs were the top marine predators of the Jurassic era, preying upon squid-like animals, fish, and other marine reptiles.
Another type of fossil marine reptile, the ichthyosaur, was bigger at up to 75 ft. "The pliosaur is not the biggest sea monster but it's probably the most fierce," Hurum said, adding the fossil has jagged teeth the size of cucumbers.
"The front flipper of our pliosaur alone is three meters long. We've laid it out downstairs in the basement," he said.
Earlier estimates had been that the Norwegian pliosaur, popularly dubbed "The Monster," was about 40 ft. long, roughly as long as Australia's kronosaurus.
The Arctic find "demonstrates that these gigantic animals inhabited the northern seas of our planet during the age of dinosaurs," said Patrick Druckenmiller of the University of Alaska Museum who was on the expedition that found the fossil.
The Norwegian museum said that it was planning to return in mid-2008 to excavate a skull and skeleton of another gigantic pliosaur recently found near "The Monster."
Well Sir...here be what it really looked like....

SEAN the Irish Farmer
A farmer named Sean had a car accident. In court, the lorry company's Hot-shot solicitor was questioning Sean.
'Didn't you say to the Police at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine?' Asked the solicitor.
Sean responded: 'Well Sar, I'll be tellin you what happened. I had just loaded Me favourite cow, Bessie, into the...'
'I didn't ask for any details', the solicitor interrupted. 'Just Answer The question. Did you not say, at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine!'?'
Sean said, 'Well, I had just got Bessie into me trailer and I was Driving down the road....
'The solicitor interrupted again and said, 'Your Honour, I am trying to Establish the fact that, at the scene of the accident, this man told the Police on the scene that he was fine. Now several weeks after the accident, He is trying to sue my client. I believe he is a fraud. Please tell him to Simply answer the question.'
By this time, the Judge was fairly interested in Seans's answer and Said to the solicitor: 'I'd like to hear what he has to say about his favourite cow, Bessie'.
Sean thanked the Judge and proceeded.
'Well as I was sayin, I had just loaded Bessie, me favourite cow, into me trailer and was driving her down the road when this huge lorry and Trailer came through a stop sign and hit me trailer right in the side.
I was thrown into one ditch and Bessie was thrown into t'other. I was Hurt, very bad like, and didn't want to move.
However, I could hear old Bessie moanin and a groanin. I knew she was In terrible shape just by her groans.
Shortly after the accident, a policeman on a motorbike turned up. He could hear Bessie moanin and groanin so he went over to her. After he looked at her, and saw her condition, he took out his gun and shot her right between the eyes.
Then the policeman came across the road, gun still in hand, looked at Me, and said, 'How are ye feeling?'
'Now what the Fook would you say?' _______________________________
A father walks into a bookstore with his young son. The boy is holding a nickel. After a few minutes in the store, the boy starts choking, going blue in the face. The father realizes the boy has swallowed the nickel and starts panicking, shouting for help.
A well dressed, attractive and serious-looking woman in a blue business suit is sitting at a coffee bar reading a newspaper and sipping a cup of coffee. At the sound of the commotion, she looks up, puts her coffee cup down, neatly folds the newspaper and places it on the counter, gets up from her seat and makes her way, unhurried, across the book store.
Reaching the boy, the woman carefully drops his pants; takes hold of the boy's testicles and starts to squeeze and twist, gently at first and then ever so firmly. After a few seconds the boy convulses violently and coughs up the nickel, which the woman deftly catches in her free hand. Releasing the boy's testicles, the woman hands the nickel to the father and walks back to her seat in the coffee bar without saying a word.
As soon as he is sure that his son has suffered no ill effects, the father rushes over to the woman and starts thanking her saying, 'I've never seen anybody do anything like that before, it was fantastic. Are you a doctor?'
'No,' the woman replied. 'Divorce attorney.' _____________________________

Dog Saved by Marine Gets Home in US
SAN DIEGO (Feb. 22) AP Iraq news
It began with a simple act of kindness to save an abused, injured dog from becoming one more victim in the Iraq war.
But what followed for Marine Maj. Brian Dennis and the mutt was a tale of friendship and loyalty that spanned miles and overcame long odds - one set to take a turn Friday with the anticipated arrival here of the Marine's best friend.
"This dog who had been through a lifetime of fighting, war, abuse ... is going to live the good life," Dennis told his family in an e-mail from Iraq. The tale unfolded in October, a few months after Dennis deployed to Iraq from San Diego to work as part of the military team building infrastructure along the Syria-Iraq border and training Iraqi forces to take over.
Dennis, 36, of St. Pete Beach, Fla., had volunteered for the assignment. It was a departure from his role as a fighter pilot. He had seen the country from the air, but it was different on the ground.
Dennis wrote stories home about the reciprocal relationship that desert dogs, strays wandering outside border towns, had with Iraqis.
"The dogs get to eat the Iraqi scraps and have a home in the middle of the desert," he wrote in an e-mail. "The Iraqis get an incredible early warning system; these dogs hear anything approaching from miles away and go nuts and scramble to defend their territory." While on patrol in the Anbar province, Dennis spotted what appeared to be a gray and white, male German shepherd-border collie mix. He named the dog Nubs after learning someone cut the ears off believing it would make the dog more aggressive and alert.
Within weeks, Nubs was greeting Dennis during routine patrol stops along border communities. The Marines fed him bits of their food and by November, the Marine and his unit were keeping an eye out for the dog, which routinely chased their Humvees when they departed.
Life on the run, however, was taking a toll on the dog. He had lost a tooth and been bitten in the neck. In late December, Dennis found Nubs near death in freezing temperatures. The dog had been stabbed with a screwdriver.
Dennis rubbed antibiotic cream on the wound and slept with Nubs to keep him warm.
"I really expected when I woke up for watch he would be dead," Dennis wrote. "Somehow he made it through the night." Dennis thought he had seen the last of the dog days later when his squad headed back to its command post some 65 miles away. He couldn't take the dog with him and watched as it tried to follow the Humvees away from the border.
Two days later, while Dennis and a comrade were working on a Humvee, he looked up and saw the dog staring at him.
"Somehow that crazy damned dog tracked us," he wrote Jan. 9. But the reunion was short lived. Military policy prohibits having pets in war zones, and Dennis was given four days to get the dog off the base or kill him.
The decision was easy: Nubs was going to San Diego. The logistics, though, were anything but easy.
With help from his Iraqi interpreter, Dennis managed to find a Jordanian veterinarian to get the care and paperwork needed to get the dog to the states. He also negotiated the red tape to get Nubs across the border into Jordan.
His family and close friends helped raise the $3,500 needed to get the dog from Amman, Jordan, to San Diego, said his mother, Marsha Cargo.
"I just can't believe it. Out there in the middle of nowhere these two find each other," Cargo said. A colleague in San Diego agreed to care for the dog and have it trained until Dennis returns in March from Iraq.
"We anticipate a real steep learning curve for Nubs," Capt. Eric Sjoberg said. "We want him to learn to just be a dog." For now, though, Dennis will settle for the knowledge that Nubs is finally safe - and waiting for his master to follow him.
